When you feel completely alone think how it's up to you just to care for another fellow human. Loneliness cannot exist if we do not want it. There are always people who look forward to another's company. There are always people who need a helping hand. So instead of waiting for someone to come to you, be the one who does it to another. It's the shortest and most humane way to share our loneliness. And it's beautiful. So cheer up, friend. And by the way, you got the cover of one of my favourite albums ever. RHCP. Cheers :)
I have a feeling I'm not the only one who really, really needed to hear this song right now. --- From the bottom of the world's collective heart; thank you, Noel.
Yep - I’m starting to appreciate this concept more. I used to be a little put off by his new material, but your comment is spot on. I like the variety of sounds he is exploring.
I know nobody will care about, but I have a very personal history with this song. When it came out I was having a bad time getting over someone special for me. I was in love like a wasn't been ever before. My good friends decided to take me to a trip to Majorca. There,we had the time of our lives. In the trip back home by ferry, we were so drunk we couldn't even get up of our seats. But somehow I managed to get up and take a stroll around the ferry. I arrived a the deck and had a smoke while listening to music. And then, this song pops up. And for the first time in a long time, I felt an inner peace like never before and cried like a baby. It was like this song was written for me and for that moment. That's the power the music right here. Probably I won't forget it in my entire live.
I really liked your story and know exactly what you mean, sometimes it's ok to not be ok. Life is long and tomorrow is a new day so take a deep breath, look up and know everything is gonna be fine ... just sail on :D
That's my point, I don't think its healthy putting any of these so called celebs on pedestals, especially when we don't even know them. I stood a few feet from NG at a Shack gig in London a few years back, he was standing with the audience. People in the audience where taking the piss out of him. He took it well, but didn't stay around for long and quickly went backstage. We locked eyes for a second or two, I just thought, you are no different from me.
I was lucky enough to met Noel in person without any fans 4 years ago. I was really surprised how kind he was, i wanted only an autograph cause i was scared to ask him if i can take a quick picture with him and he literally ask me ,,you wanna picture?" So yeah for me he is really nice guy.
I hope Noel is doing as fine as ever, but I truly hope that besides the whole Oasis thing reunion he know what he’s helped a lot of people that deeply admire him. Thanks Noel, keep it up x
Dear, Noel Gallagher. You fucking tremendous being you. The compositions. The lyrics. The voice. The authenticity. The vibes. The energy. Beyond the flesh + bone, you continue to create such a tremendously beautiful, profound and ethereal atmosphere for yourself and all of us who support such a beacon of compassion, quirkiness and true purity. Many do not innerstand, most do not even consider, but those of us who do resonate with you know precisely how valuable your creative drive is. We thank you + appreciate all that you continue to do with such grace. Yours, The Angels
Get it right. As with Liam G, basically what he turns up with is all HE needs!! And good for em both, I reckon!! (Though, sorry Noel, but its Liam who's undoubtedly fast becoming the true rock ledge of the pair!!). Love this one. though.. just need the chords, now, for me uke!!!
I mean, there's synths, strings, mandolins/banjos, backing vox and effects going on here too. Still amazing but it's the same instrumentation he's been using.
[Chorus] Sail on Tell the girl behind the counter That I loved her once but soon I must be gone Sail on Tell the world I'm gonna miss them But I've got to find a place where I belong [Verse 1] When you make up your mind I'll tell you all my secrets as we slip between the city streets tonight When you say your goodbyes Don't let them see the tears that sparkle in your eyes [Pre-Chorus] While you're sick and tired of feeling sorry for yourself Life will chew you up and spit you out and put you on the shelf And you will wake up every morning expecting to be free You've gotta float on [Chorus] Sail on Tell the girl behind the counter That I loved her once but soon I must be gone Sail on Tell the world I'm gonna miss them But I've got to find a place where I belong [Verse 2] And time is on loan All the hopes and dreams you had were left behind and taken by the storm It won't be long And all the pain that's in your life will soon be gone [Pre-Chorus] While you're sick and tired of feeling sorry for yourself Life will chew you up and spit you out and put you on the shelf And you awoke a million times, you were expecting to be free You gotta float on Out of here You and I [Chorus] We'll sail on Tell the girl behind the counter That I loved her once but soon I must be gone Sail on Tell the world I'm gonna miss them But I've got to find a place where I belong Sail on Tell the girl behind the counter That I loved her once but soon I must be gone Sail on Tell the world I'm gonna miss them But I've got to find a place where I belong Sail on Tell the girl behind the counter That I loved her once but soon I must be gone Sail on Tell the world I'm gonna miss them But I've got to find a place where I belong Sail on
Thanks for this song Noel.. Really needed to hear a song like this as my life is awful at the moment.. I feel so lonely and lost and thought about taking my own life but it songs like this and others that you have done that keep me carrying on.. Much respect... Oasis and your solo work aswel as Liams will always be in my heart.
That line 'While you're sick and tired, feeling sorry for yourself, life will chew you up and spit you out and put you on the shelf'. Gets me every time . .
It wasn’t until I had the guts to say goodbye to the wrong person and sail on that I met the love of my life. You must always leave those who pull you down.
Wow... Never thought of that until I listened to the lyrics closer... At first I thought it was an awesome song... Listened to it for the 100th time an read your comment. Made me sad an happy. I now know what I'm having at my funeral 😂
He's a good song writer. I like his pop stuff too, like that last Moon album was brilliant (Dead in the water), but let's be honest. He's VERY good at this stuff. Glad we can have both though. I'll be buying it.
Love this. He's definitely enjoying having Gem and Sharrock back on board, his music is going in every direction you can think of. The acquisition of Jess and Ysee has worked wonders too
I doubt it. Noel's performances with the entourage aren't very impressive to me. There's so many instruments you can barely hear Noel's guitar anymore which is a shame. He's one of my favorite guitarists of all time.
Boois Hoois I agree mate, which is why I added acoustic in there, only potential is that he does a few acoustic songs just him and his guitar on the middle of the stage. Would almost be a certain thing a few years ago but is less likely now
Not enough credit is given to the team putting these videos together for him. The graphics and animation for all his latest stuff since WBTM have been outstanding. This is a great great great tune, by the way.
I'd prefer Noel recording himself on an iphone playing it acoustically. I think that would go just as viral, and save us all the symbolism until the real music video is ready.
Such a beautiful, mesmerizing song! It’s like old Noel’s classic acoustics but there’s also something new in there. The lyric’s sad but hopeful at the same time. I love this tune soooo much. Thank you, Noel, you absolute legend!💘
Brilliant tune, people writing noel off need to check their heads, he's experimenting these days, not standing still and going stale, fair play to him! 👍
Wow...Noel..this is one of the best days, I met Paul Weller in Exeter and im still shook about that, then I came back and listened to your new song, I've been playing it on repeat for hours this is just so so beautiful and meaning full, I really hope you play this at your gig at powderham in two weeks can't wait to see you there
