Oasis - Live Forever (Demo) *Rare Promo CD Audio*

Watch HD Version: • Oasis - Live Forever (...
The Demo version of "Live Forever" by Oasis recorded in September 1993 at Loco Studios, Newport.
This demo was released on an NME cover cassette called 'Creation For The Nation' give away with the 25th January 1997 issue. A promo-only CD was released as well. The mp3 used here is sourced from that CD.
This demo version of "Live Forever" begins with an acoustic guitar intro. While recording the album version, the record's producer Owen Morris cut out this intro and replaced it with a drumbeat played by Tony McCarroll. Morris further cut a second section in Noel's guitar solo.
Although Gallagher was upset, Morris felt the part had sounded "a bit like f***ing Slash from Guns N' Roses".
Lyrics:
Maybe I don't really want to know
How your garden grows
As I just want to fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks you to the bone
Maybe I just want to fly
I want to live I don't want to die
Maybe I just want to breath
Maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
I said maybe I don't really want to know
How your garden grows
As I just want to fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks you to the bone
Maybe I will never be
All the things that I want to be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
We're gonna live forever
Gonna live forever
Live forever
Forever

[@ludrixte1938]

Think I speak for everyone when I say the way Liam sings “garden grows” and “morning rain” in the second verse is a guaranteed endorphin release

[@DJ-ov2it]

yeah that was also my intuitive way of thinking about how this verse should ALSO be sung. I really dont understand why he left that way out completely on the album version. It sounds great and adds variety without taking anything away.

[@estbgti424]

Nah I don't like the way he does it in the second verse

Noel is the brains behind all of it, but Liam is the heart and soul. Noel is proud to be the mastermind, but he's perpetually bitter, because he really wanted to be the heart and soul frontman who gets most of the love.

Nah noal doesn't like being the frontman, hes said so in many interviews. He's just bitter cuz Liam wazzed on his sound system

[@mumbles215]

He’s a bitter potato and should make up with his kid bother who obviously loves him and extended an olive branch to him. The kicker is Noel wouldn’t let Liam use Oasis songs for LGs documentary....that’s just being a khunt on this side of the pond. Cheers.
