I know it's not gonna happen, but now he's got his studio set I'd love to see more professionally filmed live sessions from him Not livestream gigs, fuck them, just what he did with the new version of Dead In The Water but with new tunes I love it when artists do that

I remember him telling that story about Lyla - that turned out to be a far better song, though, imo. I prefer TSOTL but to each their own. I am always amazed by all the effort that went into DBTT and how it was recorded about 3 different times between the UK and LA. Just exactly what was DBTT going to be before the record executives got involved and told Noel he was short on singles (so Noel tossed in Lyla and Idle) in addition to Dave Sardy demanding Let There Be Love be on the album. That the album's singles!!!!!! This could have been a giant shit sandwich. Imagine that album without the singles and having Mucky Fingers as lead single... It still amazes me how they thought that Let There Be Love sounds good the way it is now, it sounds like a squeezed lemon.
I wonder what songs Lyla, Idle and Let There Be Love replaced. Eyeball Tickler? Would we have had Record Machine?

Id love to know the dozen plus songs they worked on with Death In Vegas and what original DBTT track listing that Noel presented to the record company.

I would love to hear the songs they did with Death In Vegas but will they ever be released? Probably not unless they decide to release a whole boxed set of rarities one day.

Dead In The Water is such a beautiful tune but I never really understood what it's about. Nothing to do with the lyrics, I'm just always taken away with its beauty and it's something I never focussed on (like most songs for me).
But I read an interpretation of what it means that makes so much sense now, claiming it's about not giving up on the quest for love and happiness in your life. Not about any individual in particular but life in general and the desire and determination to reclaim happiness previously felt during a desolate time.
That really hits hard because not many song writers write like that so effectively. Not to demean these feelings, but I do feel that such is the egotistical ways of artists, so many songs just love to delve into pity to the point of self-indulgence. Noel never does that, and Dead In The Water encapsulates all that's great about his songwriting. He's always positive, uplifting and optimistic but always with the realisation that there are depressing times so its tempered with reality. It's where all sunny popsters fail, and it's where all the miserabilists fail - they can never achieve the balance that Noel does. The recovery of all that's good in life even when it can fall to shit. Maybe it's why some smart arses and hipsters are easy to dismiss Noel's songwriting - such is their egotistical, individualist outlook, they could never relate to a songwriter that makes sure it's never always me, me, me.

I'm not sure if the drummer is Chris or not it's hard to tell in the picture. But yeah, it does look like a live set up.
