Noel Gallagher talks about recording Dead in the water. (Subtítulos en Español)

Noel Gallaghers explains how Dead in the water was recorded in RTE 2FM.
Excerpt from an interview for Virgin Radio Italia.

[@bleep77]

Noel speaks of this song in the same manner that I listen to it. With so much emotion. One of the most beautiful songs he's ever written in his entire career. Dead in the Water is a testament to Noel's brilliance, and proof that he is the greatest songwriter of his generation.

[@markomandic596]

Couldnt agree more!

[@ahmedkhalid7525]

Its one of the best Ive ever heard... ever

[@cyberzeroday]

This song belongs to something higher than us all. Its haunting

[@michellelane6501]

he's right about the crying.... I cried when I saw him perform it live, the first time I heard the tune. He snuck it in his setlist and it caught me by surprise.

[@Ghues]

He's joking around, but I actually was on the verge of tears when I heard the song live. Truly great.

[@themeanmachine9830]

Its a brilliant fucking song

[@nisp1989]

Muchas gracias por subtitular esta entrevista. Dead in the water me abrió la puerta a todo el repertorio de canciones de Noel como solista, pero como dice bien él es tan íntima que siempre consigue ponerme la piel chinita y hacerme soltar lágrimas. Un temón.

[@oasispain]

Un placer 😉

[@thewave8468]

Imagine being such a good writer you could forget that you wrote a song like that

[@bmxxxxxxxx]

I played this song, briefly in the car, for my girlfriend the day-of his concert in Oakland, CA. She vaguely picked-up on the melody/tune, etc. - When he played it live she cried. I had chilled bones. It's really that kind of song.

[@prisonss]

Dead in the water is better than wonderwall

[@ChoLemo]

prisonss i dont think Wonderwall would make Noel's Top 10 songs lol

[@erickbanos6864]

prisonss Who fucking cares about wonderwall

[@booishoois309]

No it isn't. The wonderwall single has sold more copies than the entire NGHFB catalogue, and is an anthem familiar to millions all over the world. Dead in the water is the best song he's written in the last 5 years, and best song off a terrible album. But most of Noel's quality work was done pre-2000. Anything after standing on the shoulder of giants album just wasn't the same, in my humble opinion. They gave up the recipe of Noel being the principle song writer, and Liam the principle vocalist, and Noel started writing more songs for himself to sing and let the rest of the band write their own songs, most of which were crap.

[@subnormal2953]

Boois Hoois toss off mate

[@buckleygeneration]

Boois Hoois Sure, let’s measure quality by fucking *sales*.

[@2010welshy]

Best track on the record in my opinion.

[@xGeneticzz97]

Dead in the Water is an absolutely beautiful song, great story behind it too.

[@georgebercier4301]

You people crazy. Not only is this good, the whole album is too. He is an amazing studio artist; ive never them live but i imagine it's just as well . The tempo is a little more upbeat from the others, but it's great and makes you want move. Give it a third listen

[@djangocesttout2900]

Yeah you're right ! And it's like... 100000× much better in live, really an experience to do. Because (it's depends) he doesn't speak a lot between the songs, but sometimes you don't need words... if you can see him, go, really !

[@eamonnmaccionnaith5761]

It's a great example of how less is more. If that was recorded in the Be Here Now sessions, it'd have twenty guitar tracks etc.

[@djangocesttout2900]

Not necessary, look at ""Going Nowhere", which was the B-side of Stand by me. It's not overproducced. But yes you're right, less is more most of the time

[@jordanglasson4214]

He literally says before the singing begins ‘do we have time for another one’

[@utubeisCensorred]

Jordan Glasson yeah but he didn't know they recorded it

[@thecomicstyleartist]

Yea he meant to do another take of dying of the light. Cus you hear a guy in back ground say, show abit emotion this time

[@Lan96]

He writes such beautiful tunes

[@tylerdavidson5734]

All the people, who have never made a record calling it crap, Have a go yourself at making a record, then call it crap.

[@albiceleste101]

Do you have to be Chef to know something tastes like shit as well?

[@badgasaurus4211]

This is the only good song off the album

[@indiekiduk]

2:37 "personal moment between me and...." Wonder who was in the RTE studio with him that day?

[@gangsom]

Amazing song

[@Jesuscomessoonable]

Dead in the wa'a XD

[@CarlosGS97]

Thats one hell of a story

[@actung74]

It is a fantastic tune, excellent album. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL WORLD brilliant tune but DEAD IN THE WATER is pure class.

[@davidwilkinson6552]

A song that good that he barely remembered it!! What a fuckin talent this mans got, listen up liam!! Try and beat that fucker with your 20 man writing team 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@adambritain5774]

It is EASILY, in his top 5. All day long. It’s absolute world class. As is the man.

[@stevenbaddeley4517]

It’s a masterpiece of a song easily the greatest song he’s ever wrote 🔥

[@manch192]

the story is too sweet to be true IMHO

[@nicolascamhi3411]

Eso se llama talento.

[@Cpt.Phenom]

The single redeeming part of that album. And what a redemption!!

[@alisa-bg1wr]

Such a good song!!

[@alexcampbell3032]

How was he not aware it was being recorded? If you listen to the conversation between him and the engineer, it's at least Take 3.

[@deborafoschini2917]

I love you Noel

[@jamieelliot6881]

great tune, best on the album in my opinion

[@gleaming8103]

amazing

[@thebomb78]

Fucking great song.

[@randlepmcmurphy6117]

And what a song it is.

[@danmancmufc]

Genius

[@Zombiekiller2271]

This guy is literally a god among us, fuckin hell

[@bijibadness]

What, nobody likes _Who Built the Moon?_ Why?? Sure it's a little different, but it's not like the MATERIAL sucks, right? It's solid, interesting stuff. The biggest problem I have with it (and it's BIG fucking problem) is that I don't like how it SOUNDS. I don't like how it's mixed-it's very bland. Compare that with _As You Were_ by his brother, which sounds HUGE. That's because Liam and his producer / co-writer used computer samples and whatnot . . . hear how the drums are really hard-hitting in that record?? Computers, man-used correctly, they can turn a great album REALLY great (WHEN USED, AGAIN, *CORRECTLY!)*

[@tinandgonic3927]

my biggest problem is that the melody of the verses bore the crap out of me. I don't mind him trying to do sth different. I was excited after seeing that album teaser. but man...feels like he wanted sth psychedelic so bad that he didn't care much for quality anymore. take "she tought me how to fly" for example. chorus ain't bad, good melody, then goes back to that monotonous "the one I love...." verse. coulda been so much better I think.

[@janirantalaiho7859]

only good song in the album, good job

[@leejones8485]

The best songs are written like that

[@michaelmccann3331]

Fucking Boss track

[@iranicastilho3843]

Irani Castilho 1 segundo atrás DUNG VERY DUNG

[@breakingmania8927]

Anybody have a link to that recording?

[@oasispain]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaXFYWiXhpiBoK8

[@BH-pg8qe]

Why does he have to make stuff up tho,on the song you can literally hear him say yeh there’s times for another and he begins to play is so yeh he did know they were recording

[@N.E.O.T.H.E.O.N.E]

he's fucking genius

[@johnmcguire1792]

Dead in the water is noels attempt at bob dylans Sara.

[@ciaranmurphy9513]

Good tune, album has 2 or 3 decent tunes. Fact is he thinks it's great as he broke loose but it could have done with him doing what he does with an over lay of something different. It's just not a great album - end of story

[@mandykhoo2473]

His new album is crap but has this song from 2015 to rescue it all!.....get back to work Noel !!!

[@jasonbennett5279]

stop fibbing noel

[@booishoois309]

Sure Noel, I bet the guy playing piano had never heard it before, and you also didn't know it was being recorded professionally? It was just magic because you're a godlike genius!! For 25 years he's been pretending he's such a natural hit-maker, and puts almost no effort into songwriting. Alan McGee said he suspected Noel had like 50 songs written when he signed him to Creation Records (alot of them ended up being B-sides and the masterplan album), but Noel kept pretending he was writing a new hit every week effortlessly. Anyways, this is literally the only good song off who built the moon.

[@zenon652]

Noel Gallagher lying for 3 minutes straight

[@lL-nf4pl]

Bull

[@eamonnmaccionnaith5761]

Shame the albums appalling

[@tinandgonic3927]

+Sean Fitzgerald can't really put liam in the mix here imo since he doesn't write the songs himself

[@tinandgonic3927]

+Lou V fair enough. just know the singles and they are co written at least.

[@shredder9536]

Complete bollocks, the pianist had obviously been rehearsing, piano solo and everything in it.

[@allanp7682]

If you have ever been in a band you'll know that this is possible. Just jamming, picking up cues, glances and nods, yes, why would he BS about it? What would be accomplished?

[@indiekiduk]

I believe the piano was re-recorded

[@booksandguitars]

Yeah I'm better

[@MarkMckay-b3h]

It's shite

[@capovershy1974]

Yeah that's bollocks..."we've got time for another...there's enough time" recording

[@jamesmcguinness8601]

I smell....shite
