Originally I thought Don't Go Away was about a bad break up......but after now learning Noel wrote this because of the fear of losing his mum when they thought she had cancer.........fook me does it give new meaning to the lyrics! Simply heartbreakingly beautiful!
Goosebumps every time , this is why I love artists who write an compose their own stuff.straight from the heart , I read before his mam had a breast cancer scare an he locked himself away in his room an wrote this about possibly losing his mam , that's raw pure human emotion in them lyrics . Unlike umbrella that was passed about 6 different performers before it got settled on Rihanna
I cant believe this only has 1600+ views, man back in 2008/09 I musta listed to this song a million times after what I was going through with my ex partner. Turns out this song is about his mum in hospital. Deep stuff.
Setlist that night. Be Here Now Stand By Me Supersonic Roll With It D'You Know What I Mean? Cigarettes & Alcohol Noel Gallagher's Acoustic Set Don't Go Away Talk Tonight To Be Someone (Didn't We Have a Nice Time) (The Jam cover) Slide Away (Tour debut) Don't Look Back in Anger Wonderwall Live Forever It's Gettin' Better (Man!!) Champagne Supernova Encore: Acquiesce
Didn’t know this was written in regards to Noel’s mum, I’ve always loved this song as my perception of this was a goodbye song. Sung this to my dad when he had heart surgery and then again when he unfortunately passed, yes I neeeeeeed more timeeeee miss you dad
This this exact performance is my FAVORITE version of this song. I remember hearing it years ago and nothing else compares, the way he sang it is magic.
I got this exact performance from Napster and my hard drive broke and I lost it! 😢. The only recording I have of it is on a mix CD I made 23yrs ago. Is there any way to get this exact version from iTunes or something?
Recommend watching all Chicago 98 Noel acoustic set AMAZING !!!I see this has 15,673 views but The Jam cover of To be Someone only has 7,043 views and its an AMAZING cover done differently to the Jam version
Thank you to the person who recorded this. I have watched it at least 100 times over the years. There's just something about this performance. Magical.
The album version of this song should've been done acoustically IMHO. Would've given the album a 'breath of fresh air,' recording this acoustically. And Noel's playing is just great! Simply amazing!
I remember watching this online a few years ago and he sang this after they performed Cigarettes and Alcohol. It blows my mind that they can do a proper rock n roll track and then follow it up with a slow acoustic ballad & sound equally as amazing! Proof that they were one of the most versatile live bands during that era!!
Always sang this to my big boy Sam a German Shepard 😊 sadly lost him last week and been trying not to listen to this but had too 😢 bye bye big boy 😢😢😢 don’t go away
A cold and frosty morning there's not a lot to say About the things caught in my mind And as the day was dawning my plane flew away With all the things caught in my mind And I wanna be there when you're... coming down And I wanna be there when you hit the ground So don't go away Say what you say Say that you'll stay Forever and today In the time of my life 'Cause I need more time Yes, I need more time Just to make things right Damn, my situation, and the games I have to play With all the things caught in my mind Damn, my education, I can't find the words to say With all the things caught in my mind And I wanna be there when you're... coming down And I do wanna be there when you hit the ground So don't go away Say what you say Say that you'll stay Forever and today In the time of my life 'Cause I need more time Yes, I need more time Just to make things right Me and you, what's going on? All we seem to know is how to show The feelings that are wrong So don't go away Say what you say Say that you'll stay Forever and today In the time of my life 'Cause I need more time Yes, I need more time Just to make things right So don't go away Say what you say Say that you'll stay Forever and today In the time of my life 'Cause I need more time Yes, I need more time Just to make things right Yes, I need more time Just to make things right Yes I need more time Just to make things right So don't go away
