Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - Council Skies track by track | X-Posure | Radio X 

Liams track-by-track = 4 mins ‘it’s a choon man, I’m ‘avin it’ x 12 Noel’s track-by-track = 1hr

I love it when Noel releases something new and does loads of interviews! 😆 it’s an amazing time of my life 😎👍🎶

Dead to the World is already an all time classic. Majestic tune

I could listen to Noel talk about how he writes songs all day

I would absolutely love to hear the second part of Trying to Find a World that's Been and Gone. Beautiful song.

Noel would never admit it, but this is a concept album about the end of his Marriage. He always downplays the meaning of his songs, but he is quite prolific.

Thank you for this! This album + the phenomenal weather we´ve been getting so far this month has been a blessing. It´s shaping up to be one of the best summers ever

A brilliant album where each track is fantastic, a few are quite masterful as well in typical Noel fashion.

I like that Noel sees his role as like a curator of his own music. Bringing people onto his songs that thinks will add something.

Noel interviews are just the best

I love Think of a number Noel!! Beautiful song.

Huge respect that he won’t do interviews over zoom, I hate seeing that on tv now 🙏

Dead to the World is a stunning track...his best solo moment...channelling John Barry and Jacques Brel... beautiful song, beautiful production...and the lyrics are heartbreaking

Truly the best album of 2023, so far.

I was definitely waiting for this one

Dead to the World is a classic

Great album. His best yet

I do agree with him about us not getting over the pandemic yet, something has changed about the feeling of the world now , I used to go to a pub on a Friday before the pandemic and it was full with music , now its empty and has no atmosphere. Music is the only constant , and I do prefer this album of Noels , it's got more of the Oasis B sides feeling to some of the songs. Noel has said he often goes out his way to not write oasis like tracks so while I prefer Noels singing in oasis these days , I've never been into high flying birds, but this album is more my cup of tea. I could listen to Noel speak all day tbh, he makes a story sound interesting.

Favourite type of interview he does. Always looking forward to those in depth moments with him and John.

His best album!

Enjoyed this. Great interview from John Kennedy, intelligent and leaves plenty of space for Noel to talk.

Great insights and conversation - Thanks

Think of a number is my favourite atm. Love the petshop boys mix. Great interview

This is so precious and so is this album! I was lucky enough to be able to tell NG myself when I met him in person. Best album he's ever made so far! May the Chief live forever !!

Great stuff. Can't wait to hear it live...

So so sorry for your loss my man. You are helping so many to stand up. Me included. 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

Shame it didn't make number one in the UK. Gutted. It's his best album aswell.

There She Blows! Is so great

My favourite album this year I’d say and . It will definitely be up there for one his best albums in the future

Noel, you hit the nail on the head with the communication thing 👍

Can’t believe David Gilmour turned him down but I think my head would have exploded if he had done it. 😂 But that explains why it sounds like the “Mother” Solo. Great track.

Aways so brilliantly interesting and articulate.

Love the album !

this album is amazing!! i love you so much noel!!! we are waiting for you here in brazil

Seeing him in December, cannot wait.

Definitely my favourite album

I love the Easy Now bit. If Noel wrote an Oasis song since 2009, that's it. For like a 15 second solo its pretty effective

Great interview really funny and interesting! Just purchased the Deluxe album for my car!

The albums crafted superbly brilliant listen flows beautifully

Stupendous album.

I agree "Riverman" was class

That there she blows story is quality 😂

Trying to Find a World is the sound of ascending into heaven. How's he do it?

Noel must be the world's easiest interviewee.

Noel talks so much truth. Last of the real ones

He's become like the Paul McCartney of songwriting now.

La canción para el solo de D. Gilmour era sin dudas "Dead to the world"!! genial el programa! gracias, saludos!

Would love to hear Noel’s thought in the Think of a number Pet Shop Boys remix, not even seen him mentioned it yet

Genius

Fabulous album

I've heard Noel say before that Riverman is his favourite solo song that he's wrote, but I still can't appreciate what he's hearing, I think he's done a lot of better stuff.

I have to say that broken arrow and stranded on the wrong beach have to be my favourite high flying birds tracks, ive still yet to hear Council Skies though.

Think of a number should be a single it’s by far the best track on the album (as great as it is) the collaboration with pet shop boys is phenomenal it’s the best collaboration since pet shop boys worked with dusty Springfield

Just 1 day left to get this album to 1, keep streaming everyone & go buy it if you haven't already.

I don't think Noel understands that people are still interacting with others on the internet. In fact, for many, they are interacting with more people than you might ever have a chance in person. Interaction is still happening, it's just evolving to a new format. Less in person, more digital. More recently, it's in virtual reality too. This will change society, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing. It's just different. The key point is that interaction is still happening. I love that I can move to another state and still keep in touch with my friends, not just through voice, but through video. I can see them and talk to them daily. We can jump into VR together and interact if we wanted. That's great! It's freeing.

“Yeah totally”

J spaceman/Spiritualized has been laying down everything peeps on like…if yers ain’t listened to spiritualized already

Think of a number sounds like love song by the cure more than Bowie

A NGHFB album with Jonny Marr produced by Robert Smith …

Radio X Mic covers need a wash!!!!

As soon as I heard that lead tone oj Easy Now i knew that someone was trying to repliace David Gilmour! Such a shame he couldn't do it

Come on … who hasn’t wept into their pint listening to Dead to the World

RAD

He didn't ask how you were Noel 😂

Oasis and The Cure? Maybe they're not like super similar maybe but I don't feel like they're really polar opposites either. They're both guitar bands and capable of writing melodic catchy songs, I know they don't share too much of the fanbase together and looking at the big picture The Cure in dig'd deeper of the darker and more obscure side of theird, especially considering their less-popular more-indie albums whereas Oasis always wished to move the big crowd but to me they're both huge bands.

Not sure why he didn't put DEAD TO THE WORLD out straight away.

I reckon Noel could roll out of bed and still have a cool hair do.

As an expat in Thailand, I still see 70% of the population still wearing masks even when outside. It's depressing. Can't see it changing for years either.

Its obvious this album is all about his marriage breakdown, its a fine album though

That man should be onstage with his brother rocking the whole world,

Dont mind what anyone says to you in California. We are all embarrassed thats a part of the US.

Noel talking about a song and its lyrics in a way he rarely does, mind he doesn’t usually explain his lyrics and tells you to make your mind up… an absolute moment that the presenter kills with the ungodly analysis of “it’s so lush” 🤢 😂 it’s like showing someone a Lucian Freud and they go “nice drawing that” haha

Those “conspiracy theorists” just knew about “Event 201”, NYC October, 2019. They also knew about WTC 7.

Album is far too safe and uninteresting

With an album like that, Noel, you should be working at the council...

Dead to the World is the only track I skip on the album.

His second favorite song Riverman and Little by Little. I wish he never played them live again. Not great songs

I must like different stuff now because i think every song is flat and terribly boring.

Please don’t refer to Californians as Americans. That also goes for New Yorkers. If you’re talking about NYC. The rest of us from the wider STATE of NY are nothing like. NYCers. The State of NY is as large as the entire country of England with many cities and towns. Americans, real Americans, are NOT the people in LA and NYC. I’m a Western NYer (the state, near Niagara Falls nowhere near NYC!) living in UK. Most of the English will always tell you that London does NOT represent England or the English. It takes the same amount of time to drive from my home in Western NY to NYC as it takes to drive from Newcastle upon Tyne to London! NY is NOT NYC. NYers from NYC and Californians (sorry in their case it really is the whole state) are NOT representative of Americans. Rich British people only go to NYC, LA, and Las Vegas. Other British people basically go to NYC, Vegas, and Florida. They don’t know what real america is like anymore than someone who has only been to London. I spent all of lockdown in England and, believe me, they were just as hysterical about masks. Went up to Edinburgh during Covid and the Scots were WORSE!

Gutted he says he probably won't play 'Dead to the World' live! 😢
