It's true, here is the NME article: They only included the TITP bit to make it a better headline. They even conclude the article by saying they don't think it's actually going to happen. I think a standalone single to coordinate with the summer festival season would be an awesome idea though. It would make some sense instead of there just being a big lag time between HFB and the AA album which there was never planned to be. Noel wanted to have a single every 3 months with Oasis in the beginning but it became too difficult pretty quickly to coordinate that. It'd be awesome if he went back to that idea now that organizing studio time is easier since it's only on his schedule...although I doubt that. I had been so excited when BDI had said that they were planning to bring back the stand alone single. Pity they forgot or decided against that when their album singles didn't do very well. But there is the thing that if Noel has time in studio you'd think he'd be more likely to be trying to make headway on the AA album. Not recording 2-3 new songs. I've never wanted to believe the NME's gossip more. Although a bit shabby that they are insinuating that if he finished and released them he is expanding the Oasis catalogue not his solo catalogue. I imagine that he has something to say about that. He mentioned to Jeff Slate in Oct/Nov that he still had some old songs that he has earmarked for a 3rd album. He specifically mentioned at least "Come on Outside" in that interview. It might just be continued musings on old songs he is finishing off and may include on the eventual 3rd album.

I believe there is a thread somewhere dealing with analysis on Noel's supposed atheism vs. the religious allusion and symbology in his lyrics. Definitely not confined to post 2008 IMO.

DOYS, the (unspoken) theme was religious armageddon weren't it?, Two Noel songs were built around the idea of 'the rapture', I believe he read something or saw a TV programme about how true religious fundamentalists believe that when the rapture comes 'the saved' will physically disappear or ascend to the heavens and he used this as the basis for those two lyrics.
Even back to D'You Know What I Mean he was calling out God - in the NME in 1997 explaining the song's lyric he said "on judgement day, if there is one, I'll have some words to say f__king c__t".

Excellent. More old songs dug up and re-recorded with, I'm guessing, a choir lazily slapped on top. Still if that's what fans are screaming out for then it makes sense to do it I suppose. Maybe he needs a new bathroom.
You could save money by recording over the Revolution Song demo with you and some mates going "OOOOHHHHH!" in the choruses. Maybe I'm wrong and Noel will give the song a completely fresh feel but I'm not confident after his album. I expect it'll sound very similar to the unfinished track he abandoned in the '90s. If it's a single then chances are 'What's it Got to Do with You' will be a b-side. With added trumpets!

Noel had a computer last year right? So he had discover youtube, in it he has discover than some long forgotten tune like "revolution song" are fans favourite so he digs them up, same thing with "If There is a god", even if this one doesn't sound great.
I guess BDI is gonna record "Take me" then...
Think about this one Noel, I quite like it.

Well that's certainly some intriguing info. I doubt he'll add them to his set but if he's got them recorded that's pretty damn cool. Hopefully we don't have to wait a couple years to hear them.

Well wehn he says stuff about new songs or songs being recorded in the NME, the gap is two years most of the time. I wouldnt count on it before 2014. There's the AA songs to be released first. But that's good news.

Many many artists keep songs for years before they release them.

To be fair with Noel, those songs were never released. they got leaked on the web. Many many artists keep songs for years before they release them. Of course but surely the time's passed for Revolution Song to be released officially. If he thought it was that good to begin with he would've released it 12 years ago. I thought the same with Stop the Clocks and I Wanna Live in a Dream. We would've had those two tunes years ago if he'd been patient enough with Liam. Remember how excited us fans were to hear those demos, and how disappointed we were to learn the reasons behind them not being on Dig Out Your Soul. They would’ve retained a mysterious, legendary status if he hadn’t thrown them on his new record. I love the man dearly but he's not half lazy when it comes to this sort of thing. In my opinion leaked demos don't need official releases, it's part of what makes them special. They sound raw and a bit scrappy, as if they're fresh out of the songwriter's mind, he hasn't had enough time to mess around with too much production or whatever. He could've written it five minutes ago. The fact Revolution Song’s demo is floating out there as an unofficial piece of audible Oasis memorabilia makes it especially cool, I think. It's got its own cult status. But he knows millions will buy it because he knows millions have loved the demo for years. It makes commercial sense but I'd rather he focused on writing and releasing completely new material and save the nostalgia or whatever it is for his gigs. Stick a few random classics in the setlist, make each gig different.

So basically Noel as a songwriter shouldn't have the opportunity to fully realize what he wants a song that he wrote to sound like because some weirdos on the Internet have a strange obsession with the idea of leaked versions being their own special Oasis cult memorabilia.
You don't need to listen to the studio versions if you don't want. But I think it's great that it'll get a proper release.
I find it more of a pity when a great song gets lost in the shuffle and the world doesn't get to hear it.

Jesus, I said it's my opinion mate, I wasn't saying he should be denied the opportunity to do anything. Wouldn't call it weird or an obsession myself. Sorry for having a different take on things to you, and for daring to share my views in a public forum.
