Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds - If I Had A Gun… 

His melodies leave me in shock, How can he do those melodies. Im not kidding, Noel is a melody genius

'my eyes have always followed you around the room' really love those lyrics

If I had a gun I'd shoot a hole into the sun And love would burn this city down for you If I had the time I'd stop the world and make you mine And every day would stay the same with you Give you back a dream Show you now what might have been For the tears you cried will fade away I'll be by your side When they come and say goodbye We will live to fight another day Excuse me if I spoke too soon My eyes have always followed you around the room 'Cause you're the only god that I will ever need I'm holding on And waiting for the moment to find me Hope I didn't speak too soon My eyes have always followed you around the room 'Cause you're the only god that I will ever need I'm holding on And waiting for the moment for my heart to be unbroken by the seams Let me fly you to the moon My eyes have always followed you around the room 'Cause you're the only god that I will ever need I'm holding on And waiting for the moment to find me If I had a gun I'd shoot a hole into the sun And love would burn this city down for you 💛 from me and mymiamor

This might be one of Noel’s greatest songs ever, absolutely brilliant

"let me fly you to the moon My eyes have always followed you around the room Cause you're the only god that I will ever need I'm holding on and waiting for the moment to find me"...... Noel has quite a romantic soul behind that hard Mancunian image lol

Am I the only one who still likes Liam and Noel equally?

Maybe the cowboy is just symbolic for choosing your own destination/freedom instead of following social pressure to fit into something you're not :) Anyway, I love this song

Song says so much about how I felt and still feel for my late wife, Sarah Ann. She passed while nine months pregnant in a terrible car crash we were in. Our daughter Maddy survived, though:) She is a true blessing

When I attended high school, I loved this song, so I wrote "If I had a gun, I’d shoot a hole into the sun and love would burn this city down for you" on my crush’s sitting spot. I did it when the classroom was empty and nobody could see me. He never discovered I was the one who wrote it for him. And probably, if he had discovered, nothing would have happened because I clearly knew he didn’t like me. He told my friend that he found me ugly. But now, some years later, this memory (linked to this amazing song) still touches me deeply. And I still think about him. He was such a good person after all. The only one in my classroom who was kind to me and didn’t bully me. I was so lonely and sad, marginalized by my peers, but he was different. Even if he didn’t find me attractive on a physical level, he was kind, thats why I will never forget you,Lorenzo. I hope you didn’t change because you have a golden heart. Saluti to all from Italy and sorry for my English 🇮🇹❤️

Noel Gallagher is a genius. This is as good as anything he wrote during his Oasis days.

noel, I keep this song for someone I love, because the meaning of this song makes me sure that I will have that woman until the end of my life

My husband and I danced to this as our wedding song. I cried singing it.

I don't care that Noel doesn't have a billion views. We have, and love, true great music. No need to coerse others into loving Noelly G. We do, and I think that's all that matters. Long live Noel. Cheers.

I love how Noel is able write love songs without even using the word love.

This song is evergreen. Still rings true almost 13 years later

Plot twist, the cowboy is actually Liam coming to steal Noel away from his high flying birds

One of the most perfect songs ever written

One of THE BEST things he's ever wrote. Tremendous.

Anyone in 2024?

A true gem in Noel's discography 💎

Noel Gallagher = Legend.

The most beautiful lyrics I have ever seen

This song breaks and fixes my heart at the same time.

2:42...when this moment shows up, I get goosebumps every time. What a voice, what a melody. Awesome and brilliant in every way.

If I had a gun, I'd shoot a hole into the sun, And love would burn this city down for you.If I had the time, I'd stop the world and make you mine, and everyday would stay the same with you.Aaahh AaahhGive you back the dream, And show you now what might have been, If all the tears you cried would fade away.I'll be by your side, When they come to say goodbye, And we will live to fight another day.'Scuse me if I spoke too soon, My eyes have always Followed you around the room. 'Cus you're the only God that I'll ever need, I'm holding on and Waiting for the moment to find me.Aaahh Aaahh Aaahh AaahhHope I didn't speak too soon, my eyes have always followed you around the room. 'Cus you're the only God that I will ever need, I'm holding on and Waiting for the moment for my heart to be unbroken by the sea.Aaahh Aaahh Aaahh Aaahh Aaahh Aaahh Aaahh AaahhLet me fly you to the moon, My eyes have always Followed you around the room. 'Cus you're the only God that I will never need, I'm holding on and Waiting for the moment to find me.Aaahh AaahhIf I had a gun, I'd shoot a hole into the sun, And love would burn this city down for you

It's not often you know you genuinely love a song after hearing it for just 30 seconds.

Noel wrote perfect ballads about love (If I Had A Gun) and death (We're On Our Way Now). And two of my favorite lyrics: "my eyes have always followed you around the room" and "good luck in the afterlife."

My son play this song all the day, and iam addicted now.😁

I love Noel's face 2:34 :)

Never heard much of Noel's music before but this is just perfect, can't stop listening to it

Can't believe its almost 10 years.. time flies too fast. Listening to this song again bring nostalgia.

you are forever immortal in this again :((

Lyrics "My eyes have always followed you around the room...."

This is gonna be my wedding song.

This is now Noel's most streamed solo song ever - 65m on Spotify, 14m here on YT.

I will forever stand by that this is one of the most underrated romantic songs of our time 💕

this is one of the songs that, no matter how many times im gonna listen to it, im gonna get chills everywhere...omg

possibly one of the greatest love songs ever.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

Still got this song on repeat - love it ❤

Man this song is so enchanting, what a genius Noel Gallagher is.

No cabe duda que Noel es un jodido genio.

Not only the song - the comments here are praise worthy as well - looks like we all love Noel - it’s all from the heart

I adore this song. I see a lot of comments that they would have this as their wedding song. Don’t know if anyone else agrees but i’ve always imagined having this as my funeral song. It just seems such a beautiful piece of music to have for a sending off. Being carried out the church whilst people walk out behind one by one. Always makes me emotional thinking about it. (Not that I plan on dying anytime soon obviously)

Noel will Live Forever

2:33 "seems legit, dude"

First time i listen to this music video was 8 years ago. There's no hesitate i'm in love at the first time. This song accompany me through the hardest time in my life. Thank you Noel for making this beautiful song with strong lyrics and wonderful melodies. Gonna love this song for the rest of my life.

Noel got some kind of blessing while writing this. Astonishing song, forever will be my favorite of him. Great videoclip too.

Em7, G, Am7 and Dsus4= Noel's favourite chords

God sent us Noel Gallagher and he gives us these songs to sing 👌

Probably my favourite song ever! If I ever get married I’d want this as our first dance

Jesus Christ I can't believe this song was released 11 years ago, time flies, I still remember the first time it came out and how it felt, beautiful tune

I’m ashamed to say this only reached 95 in the U.K chart. How this happened I can not explain. I truly, truly can not comprehend how this was possible.

If I had a gun, I'd shoot a hole into the sun And love would burn this city down for you If I had the time, I'd stop the world and make you mine And every day would stay the same with you Give you back the dream, show you now what might had been If all the tears you cry would fade away (away, away, away...) I'll be by your side, when they come to say goodbye We will live to fight another day Excuse me if I spoke too soon My eyes have always followed you around the room 'Cause you're the only god that I will ever need I'm holding on and waiting for the moment to find me Hope I didn't speak to soon My eyes have always followed you around the room 'Cause you're the only god that I will ever need I'm holding on and waiting for the moment for my heart to be unbroken by the scene Let me fly you to the moon My eyes have always followed you around the room 'Cause you're the only god that I will ever need I'm holding on and waiting for the moment to find me If I had a gun, I'd shoot a hole into the sun And love would burn this city down for you

I've been coming back to watch this video the last 5 years, every once in a while. Every time I am amazed by her beauty. Every time is like I see her for the first time.

4 year in a row, Come on cityyyyyy

proper quality music , exactly what the charts are missing in 2024

Noel writes really evocative and interesting songs. Love him.

I will most definitely incorporate some of these lyrics into my wedding speech. A thank you to Noel Gallagher for getting me through a lot x

If you look at the tab, the sheer minimalism of the chords, and how they end up sounding is breathtaking.

This song is pure noel..

"If I had a gun; I'd shoot a hole into the sun; And love would burn this city down For you" ~ Noel Gallagher

Such a beautiful song, great clip, really romantic... In loop! 🌟

Tim V Murphy plays the role of Father Of The Bride. A good Kerry man 🇮🇪💙

I would have chose the cowboy too. Or better still the bride's father he's lovely.

When my father was shooted 2 bullets in his heart, he was wearing the a hoodie which had written "if i had a gun i'd shoot a hold into the sun" it hurts too much love you papa

This man is a GREAT songwriter. The melodic development in this song is perfect. Holy shit is this a perfect pop tune.

this melody is perfection

I love this song soooooooo much no matter how many times I hear it!!!!!! honestly I hope to have it at my wedding.. Thank you Noel Gallagher for making this incredible song and many others besides... you are My idol!!!!!!! 😍😍😳😳

I'm getting an Oasis vibe.

What a beautiful song x

The Kiss in the pool is timeless

If I had a gun, I'd shoot a hole into the sun Love will burn this city down for you If I had the time, I'd stop the world and make you mine And everyday would stay the same with you Give you back the dream, show you now what might have been For the tears you cried would fade away I'll be by your side when they come to say goodbye We will live to find another day.....

This is simply the best song I've ever heard. Seriously. Noel is a genius

This song reminds me of you, my moon

Saya dengar lagu ini sebelum meledak di tiktok dan saya bangga😆

I'm fan of Oasis and Noel Gallagher I think he's a great songwriter.

Noel, you genius! You've done it again.

I absolutely love this song, it’s so beautiful and perfect

02.12 Noel's expression is just brilliant. Amazing tune. Classic.

Beautiful lyrics with nice song. Noel has a sentimental heart.

My dad introduced this song to me when I was 10 and I've been looking for this song I didn't remember it being as good as this!

this song is so beautiful. fucking love this!

This is one of Noel's best. Simple and beautiful. A bit of a sadness to it which I love.

You hear a song he wrote and you go, "that is a Noel Gallagher song". No doubt about it he is a legend and untouchable. This work is equally beautiful to the Oasis stuff, as is the latest in 2020.

One of the best songs ever written... love this song writer.

I should also add, it’s one of his finest songs, from the melody to the amazing words telling the story. Superb. 10/10❤👍🏼😎

This song is absolutely brilliant !!!

Just beautiful absolute beauty...them lyrics are top...let me fly you to the moon,that's the part that I do be waiting for

Beautiful song, Noel Ghallagher's is a genius.

Ah this puts me in such a good mood. Pure genius with his lyrics

Best song by Noel & HFB never gets old 👌🎸💜

Love this tune, this man is a genius

What a tune

LETRA LINDA, VOZ LINDA, MELODIA LINDA, HISTÓRIA LINDA AAAAAA MAAAANO

This is one of the greats! A timeless masterpiece

Okay, here's my interpretation of the story. In the first video, *'If I Had A Gun...'*, Noel appears as the Priest at the wedding, because He is an Angel. He wears a white shirt, the colour of angelic purity. The bride's father (played by Timothy V. Murphy) doesn't competely approve of the man she is about to marry, but he is accepting her decision. I believe the mother of the bride is the same older woman who is one of the people in the diner in the second video, *'The Death Of You And Me'* (AKA 'Catherine' from the comedic series *Elders React*). The two blonde demon chicks from the third video, *'AKA... What A Life!'*, are also present at this wedding, trying to steal human souls with their Soulsucker™ video camera. The groom places the wedding ring on the bride's finger, claiming possession of her... But just as they are about to kiss to seal their fate, a stranger rides in on a pony. This man is the woman's true soul-mate. Her father recognises this and obviously approves of this other man, and at his urging, she leaves the unfortunate groom at the altar. The Priest/Angel Noel shrugs, as if to say He cannot prevent her True Destiny. The woman dives into the pool, and so does the other man. They swim toward each other, meeting in the middle for a passionate kiss. The water symbolises spirituality, and their underwater kiss shows that they are true soul-mates. She then rides away with him for a new life... (For the record, I don't approve of anyone leaving their partner at the altar - NOT COOL. I would've preferred to see some evidence in the story showing that the groom-to-be was either abusive or unfaithful, which would actually justify the bride leaving him like that.) In the second story, *'The Death Of You And Me'*, the Angel Noel appears in the diner where the Alice-in-Wonderland character works as a waitress. The diner is called 'Last Chance' (it's the last chance these characters have to be spiritually saved, before the end of their mortal lives). At first, Alice is just an ordinary waitress, living an ordinary life at an ordinary diner, in the middle of nowhere... But then, one day, Alice climbs up onto a stool, then up onto the counter. She is seeking a more spiritual life, on a higher plane. She starts to fall backwards, in a Christ-like crucifix pose... Noel, her Guardian Angel, is pushing her into a pool, backwards. He wears the white shirt, the colour of angelic purity. The water again symbolises spirituality, the push/fall into the water, a metaphor for baptism. By this baptism, the Angel leads Alice into a deeper level of spiritual consciousness and self-awareness. At the end, she dares to walk away from her ordinary life, to discover her true destiny (in her mind, she is falling backwards, into the Rabbit Hole of her spiritual journey). Her friends and colleagues wonder if she is crazy, as she walks away... Unfortunately, she makes the mistake of walking into the door of a carriage led by the first interesting/attractive Pied Piper parade that marches into town (a metaphor for following false religious cults and gurus). Note that the marchers and musicians look deathly pale, and are dressed in black and dark red, as if they are from the Underworld... In the third video, *'AKA... What A Life!'*, at the very beginning appears a barn owl. Owls are often associated with the Underworld, in many religious traditions. (Fans of the film **Labyrinth** will recall that the Goblin King, who rules 'The Underground', shapeshifts into a barn owl.) Our protagonist's stumbling search to find her way on her spiritual journey attracts the interest of the Devil (Russell Brand dressed as the Mad Hatter, to the waitress's Alice). He lectures her about the nature of the Universe, of Yin vs. Yang, how good cannot exist without evil, that light cannot exist without darkness. His dark lair is filled with the colours of black and dark red, the very opposite of our innocent protagonist's white and sky blue (but some objects in His lair are blue, as if to illustrate the Yin-Yang principle). With the help of His 'nieces' (demons), He forces her to drink His toxic elixir - a metaphor for dangerous cult gurus brainwashing hapless individuals into following them, leading them astray. But the Devil is suddenly interrupted by a blinding vision of Alice's baptism in the pool by her Guardian Angel. "It's Noel Gallagher!" The force of the vision removes Alice from the Devil's lair, back into the Real World, where she is stumbling around, lost... The Devil quickly sends His demon chicks to go look for Alice in the Real World. One of the demons wears a top that says 'Low Flying Owls', which refers to her status as a servant of the Underworld (and is also a pun on 'High Flying Birds'). Owls are also birds of prey. They need a vehicle, so they steal one from a couple of gullible men who are seduced by the demon chicks' good looks. There is a naked Barbie doll hanging by her long blonde hair from the car's dashboard, she is trussed up in rope (symbolising Evil luring and trapping the Innocent). Meanwhile, the Angel is also trying to locate Alice. Alice wakes up in the middle of the desert, she is trying to remember how she got there, and is stumbling around, confused. She has realised that the spiritual path she took is the wrong one, and is desperate to escape. The two demons finally find her in the desert. They grab her, knock her out with a chloroform-like substance, and throw her in the boot of their car. More owl imagery. Noel appears at a truck stop. He has a vehicle that is sky blue (like Alice's dress, and the opposite of the Devil's dark red), and He is pretending that the car has broken down. He asks the demon chicks if they could give Him a lift. They think He's cute (lol!), so they let Him in. In the back seat, He finds their Soulsucker™ videocamera, and trains it on them. They seem to have forgotten that it's a soul-trapping machine, or maybe they're not afraid because they don't think they have souls, or perhaps they are vain about their hot looks and want to be recorded. Eventually, they get erased from the Real World and disappear into the videocamera. The Angel locks the videocamera inside a sturdy box, and binds it in chains for good measure. He then goes to the back of the car and opens the boot, rescuing a crying and grateful Alice. She gets into the passenger seat, and Noel, her Guardian Angel, drives her on the correct path, the righteous path, and she is finally safe and happy... *~ The End ~*

wow, I was 14 when I first heard Definately Maybe.. and now I'm 35! it's crazy how one can literally grow up listening to a band and mature along the way as the band changes as well. Listening to this Noel song reminds me of some of their early stuff!

Best song ever released. Noel is the mastermind of new and old music. His lyrics, his vocals, his ideas are all flawless. He may not be underrated in the Indie/Alternative community, but his music deserves so much more.

Last sunday, Noel played this song at the Corona Capital Festival in Mexico City. It was amazing. This song is a masterpiece. 🎸🇲🇽😊😎💗
