gdforever needs more cowbell. Don't you think a cowbell would have sounded great coming in on that first chorus? |

The first time he does the falsetto-y bit in the chorus "seem to spend my (whole life running)" is my favourite moment. On the first listen that was the part which brought a huge grin to my face and reminded me the Chief really was back!

I never thought that "more cowbell" skit on SNL was funny, but I think I may be the only one thinking that.
My favorite part is the verse 2-into-chorus. The "let's run away together, you and me, together we'll be free." It's simple and it's brilliant.

I like the lyrics - dodgy at the start but quickly improved, and it's not the nonsensical rhyming either. I love the brass - unexpected, a nice surprise.

I also love the TV line, but I especially love how he slightly alters the melody for that line.

It's a great chorus but I don't think anthemic is the word. And it doesn't try to be. I could imagine people singing along...but with the fact that the lyrics moving along at a faster pace and that they change. I think that a crowd of thousands would sound a bit muddled. Not like DBLIA or Wonderwall. I think if Noel tried to stand back and let the crowd sing it they'd fall behind or get confused. Agreed. Still a great song but the words need to be slower for a sing-along. Think the end of "Hey Jude" or pretty much any of the choruses from the MG album. |

The best part of the song to me, are the lyrics in general.
It is refreshing for Noel to finally concentrate on his lyrics again, rather than making a whole song full of shine, silver, soul, city, town, mind, or brain, and him rhyming anything that has "ay" at the end of it, a million times. Instead, he just used city, soul, and shine.
The lyrics seem to mean something more with this song, because he using other phrasings and terms, rather than a collection of stock words, or phrases that he's used a million times.

Makes the whole song for me.

"Sucking up my soul..." Makes the whole song for me. That's the most awkward line for me. For some reason. |

I thought the line was "the bottom of a bottle is every man's apostle" but at one point I did think it was puzzle too.

Also the appregio guitar-lick at the beginning and end of the song. There's not enough love for this bit and I love it. |
