Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - The Masterplan (Abbey Road Sessions)

[@Fed-np9ez]

When you were young, you listened to Oasis and think about rebellion, drugs, your youth and living the way you want but now you grow older and listen to them again, you realised they're also about grief, the pain of growing up, about refusing to give up, about hope, about wanting to live and don't want to die and believing in yourself. They're songs about life.

👏👏👏

[@DoodooSwaggy]

Don’t project your gay shit on us. Some of us have always known what’s up

[@badgasaurus4211]

Probably Noel’s most sophisticated song. This and Don’t Look Back in Anger are songwriting standards.

[@sg1596-lmb]

Why them 2 specifically? I ask cause they're my favorites and.. don't get me wrong, I can still appreciate Wonderwall, but I don't get how it became "the" Oasis song?

[@ZeppelinZebedee]

​@@sg1596-lmbSimplicity off the. Chords and the universal lyrics regarding Wonderwall it done pretty well in the US too. I've never been huge fan of repetitive song structure and WW suffers with that. So most Oasis diehards will skip it

[@themmasuwandana5404]

Noel's voice aged like fine wine..

[@milanovevlogy]

just like Liam :)

[@KevinsDisobedience]

Yeah, they can both still sing! I’ve not given up hope yet for an Oasis reunion. C’mon guys, burry the hatchet.

[@milanovevlogy]

@@KevinsDisobedience i said maybeee :)

Amen

[@rODIUMuk]

This is not new - listen to last month of vocals - his voice is getting worse it’s sad to say

[@councilskies782]

I'm Japanese. I went to a live show in Osaka a while ago and heard this song. It's my lifelong treasure. Thank you Noel！！

[@eddy1551]

I'm Chinese and I'm gonna go to Japan three months later for learning. I'll go to Fuji Rock and see Noel. So glad that you like Noel! I also love Japan so much.

[@StavrosBatsaktsis]

@councilskies782 @eddy1551 I hope Oasis announce a series of concerts in Asia soon so you both get to see them reunited live!!!

[@John.M.Gannon]

I from Korea and I'm better the you guys Korea is the real power this part of the world not China or Japan they suck,Noel can sing in Korea if he likes.​@@eddy1551

This is Noel’s lyrical masterpiece 👏👏👏

[@tashrif46]

Timeless classic. Sounds as majestic as it did in 1996.

[@rossdawson5575]

And what a time to be old enough to misbehave yet young enough to get away with it

sounds better!

[@ray_b1993]

It has so stood the test of time... most recent Abbey Road Studios version is off the charts

[@fakestradio4741]

The atmosphere that this song creates is beautiful. I remember watching the credits roll on the supersonic documentary for the first time, and the use of this song gave me goosebumps!

[@AndrewHawkes-uj5ux]

Me too👍

[@b00ts4ndc4ts]

The secret is in the progression of the chords used in this song but not only that, Noel's choice of melody is very well thought-out. This will be a song that lives on long after we will be gone. Masterpiece spring to mind.

[@rkid727]

Man you’re right. Right when the credits hit, the chorus hits and it gave me chills at the theatre I was in. Didn’t expect to get emotional but I was next to my brother and just thought how sad it is that they don’t speak. Don’t blame either one of them, well maybe I blame LG a little, but still. That’s sad.

[@ricardornt]

Exactly the same here.

[@paolanuzzo3105]

[@liveforeverluckymanej-200]

Noel's masterpiece! song writing at the highest level.

[@joachimb5721]

Meh. If he had written that song in 1995, it would have been a b-side at best.

[@stevevallance606]

It's not like the song was used as the title of a classic album eh?​@@joachimb5721

[@Blisterdude123]

@@joachimb5721 It was written in 1995, and released as a B-side to round out the Wonderwall single release. Something which Noel has regretted since then. So maybe you should think before proudly declaring your ignorance. When you don't know what you're talking about, don't draw attention to your stupidity.

[@joachimb5721]

Ha! See? I knew it! A b-side at best.

[@Eyeshadow11]

One of the greatest songs ever written.

[@benshaw5910]

Possibly my favourite tune of all time

[@guilhermebomfim3147]

Masterplan can easily be called Noel Gallagher's greatest composition. There are few songs that convey from start to finish what its author intends for the listener. Masterplan is certainly one of them. BR

[@MonticArckeys]

This and Talk Tonight for me

[@guilhermebomfim3147]

​ @MonticArckeys Talk Tonight is one of Noel's great works from the time he was still with Oasis. The story behind the lyrics is very impactful, and obviously, this is based on a personal opinion. However, after leaving Oasis and forming the High Flying Birds, few songs have been able to reach the level of the ones we mentioned. Dead to the World, If I Had a Gun, In the Heat of the Moment, and some other singles are so remarkable that we can say they surpass many of his earlier compositions. It is totally valid to place this man on the list of greatest composers in the history of music.

[@lpoolck17]

What's he trying to convey?

[@guilhermebomfim3147]

Masterplan can have various interpretations. From a religious standpoint, it refers to God. From a poetic perspective, the song speaks about allowing oneself to live and also reflecting on one's own life. In the music, Noel says that everything and everyone are part of a "masterplan".

[@jokedejojo]

He said once on the Russell Brand radio show that basically he was trying to say "whatever will be, will be" until everyone pointed out that song already existed!@@lpoolck17

[@thecowwarrior3]

Nice to see Noel and Gem together again. Noel's voice hasn't aged a day. Great performance of a great tune.

[@jaggass]

Gem looks like Paul Weller now

[@ForeverPalestine10]

Not bad except I like it when Gem solo back then in 2008 live in Wembley i think Magical🎉

[@booishoois309]

What do you mean together again? They've been together for the last 24 years, except for about a 2 year break when he was with Beady eye.

[@lissettebonilla6847]

Best Noel Gallagher's song... in the prime of his life feeling old... genius

Best masterpiece ever . Today there are no songs like this

Pep's performance was outstanding!

[@shelly4872]

I'm glad Noel finally heard you and listened. Great song.

[@stuartcurran573]

Truly impressive how Gem switches from an Epiphone to a Gibson, and then back to an Epiphone mid song. Incredible stuff.

[@zeymatis]

Omg ,, thought I was the only one lol,, and incredible Gem played the solo on E A D low strings but sounded like the high strings 😮 and used chords

[@HCvidz1]

From 3:42 into the next frame it switches. That’s crazy.

[@palacecat]

I can't tell if we're all joking or not, but for any youngsters out there I'm pretty sure the video is from two takes. There are too many inconsistencies, and this is the only thing that would likely explain it...

[@WaghRules]

Yeah bro it's two takes....

[@volvot5turbo]

Anyone know the model of epiphone he's playing? Looks like the 150th anniversary Sheraton but without the tremolo

[@amazingworld8592]

I think it’s took 30 years for even Noel to realise how good them songs were 😂

Yip...and who's playing the guitar solo at 3mins lol ?

[@-TheRealThing-]

@@kevinnimmo2621 Do they think we're stupid! 😂

[@trentderby8678]

I thought the same. Also, if you look closely you'll notice some lead guitar playing while Gem is playing rhythm, so unless there's a mystery guitarist somewhere then this is prerecorded definitely (maybe)

[@MinwooYoo]

3:42 and Gem's guitar suddenly changes.... gibson es-355 to epiphone sheraton
