Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - D'yer wanna be a spaceman? (iTunes Festival 2012)

[@FenxFX]

This song always makes me wanna cry. It's been almost 8 years since I moved from the country I lived in, leaving behind lots of important people but most of all, my best friend. Time has passed and we are still in touch sort of, but it keeps getting harder and harder to stay close as you grow up and life happens around you. I just hope I can sit together with him one day, and talk as if nothing had happened.

[@9mSg6]

Has to be one of my favourite oasis songs, why was it ever a B-Side?

[@evangelicoadventista]

mine too

[@mubblemann]

Probably my least favourite Oasis song :-/

[@trtr9626]

All the b sides from those oasis days were first class

[@MarlboroughBlenheim1]

Because they were too cool for that

[@JoetrixTV]

@@mubblemann have you listened to Mucky Fingers?

[@Karmarghhh]

No problem with the vocal harmonies at all? Noel obviously wants him to do it. It makes the song so much better! "Do you still feel like me!" sounds amazing!

[@bigfnaffan2445]

So trueeee

[@ricardogianella]

knowing how sarcastic Noel is, I cant avoid thinking that : "It's funny how your dreams change as you're growing old You don't wanna be no spaceman, you just want the gold All the dream stealers are lying in wait But if you wanna be a spaceman It's still not too late" Its the part of the song dedicated to Gem....

[@mrcowlick7537]

and then gem joined the High Flyin' Birds. damn.

[@SmoothOutcomes]

I thought he had written this song before knowing Gem?

[@matteoviola5760]

lol he wrote this song in 1994, Gem joined Oasis in 2000

[@ricardogianella]

@@matteoviola5760 it was not wrote for gem, I think it was dedicated to him on that specific performance.

Like this if in your head this song always goes "we could just forget about feeling down...well I fucked that right up" and then stops.

[@jakemartin2896]

Haha! I literally think that every time I hear this song

[@YOURWORMFRIEND]

Hahaha yessss!!! I actually just randomly sing it like it when the songs stuck in my head 😂

I had no idea he started playing this again, hope he keeps it in the set in the future.

r u kidding? He got an awesome voice, his backin' vocals are always into the tune. Shut up your fingers, man

[@n_aru_se_2iokq1]

please explain the situation. why noel mentioned gem archer before singing?

[@Spuddie89]

Gem is a close friend of noels, they use to spend a lot of time together with oasis. Now oasis split and noel is out on his own and hardly sees gem anymore. The lyrics in this song are about two friends who use to be close but have since grown apart. So noel was clever and dedicated the song to his good friend gem. :-)

[@n_aru_se_2iokq1]

The original version of Definitely Maybe (ie. The first few months it was out) it is listed as "Digbys Diner". There was a typo. I know because I have it. They corrected the spelling, and it was listed as "Digbys Dinner" on all further pressings of the album. She knows more than Noel. Basically 👍

[@willskipp5917]

Cj M who's digby?

[@whitepointstarproductions8905]

Will Skipp Yeah it's fucking Digsy

[@mrcowlick7537]

Maybe you have a bootleg because I don't know no Digby

[@LadyFalcon17]

Cj M yeah, the copy I have it says Diner.

[@matteoviola5760]

Not at all mate. Only the US version of it has “Diner”

[@slidenaway]

Would you all give that girl a break? Do none of you remember that Definitely Maybe had a misprint where it said "Diner" instead of "Dinner"? Or was that only in America??? I was honestly surprised Noel gave her such a hard time, considering the misprint on the album.

[@Honasek]

***** Indeed, Noel was certainly aware of that.

[@slidenaway]

Jan Šorčík Ah, you and ***** are both missing Noel just being a dick. I'm cool with it, he does that sometimes. But she deserves a break for not knowing it was a misprint.

[@chrispalin4043]

Kristóf Dája it wasn't. I bought it in Britain, and my version has "Digbys Diner" as well. It was basically every copy sold in the first 6 months, had the typo

[@matteoc3487]
