Dream All Need to Get By Vs. On Our Way Now (Read 1,362 times)

[Beady’s Here Now]

The two best songs of Noel’s recently. Both are brilliant.

On Our Way... has the novelty factor.

But ‘Dream’ is a stunning track by Noel.

I need to give this poll more thought.

On Our Way Now definitely. I'm not a big fan of Dream All I Need To Get By.

[Jessica]

I don't think they're comparable, WOOWN is like what has been said, Noel by the numbers, ADIAINTGB was more unexpected. But if I was going to add We're On Our Way Now to my rankings, A Dream Is All I Need to Get By would be way higher. Better than like Sail On though.

WOOWN. By miles.

[LightsOffInside]

Both are great but Dream clinches it for me, it was a pleasant change of style for Noel with an extremely catchy melody. Not to mention it was one of the only good songs to come out of any of the EPs (Sail On was also good).

[megyesitomate]

Both are good but I'd say Dream as it, alongside with Sail On, gives me vibes that no other NG songs do. They are reserved for my next vacation dawn walk by the sea. I enjoy WOOO as well but it's not as atmospheric. I hope Noel continues with the "off the track" EPs, I kind of liked and anticipated them more than actual LPs. I want to hear something completely new every release.

[supertronic]

All this has done is make me desperately want to play the This Is The Place EP as soon as I get home. Thus, my answer is, A Dream Is All I Need To Get By.

Dream Is All I Need To Get By All the way

Inventive production, not so obvious melody. A track that has a personality.

The other one is as cheesy as possible. Like a generic big mac.

Noel can do so much better

[modxxii]

WOOWN by miles.

[defmaybe00]

Dream is one of my favourite from the EPs and kind of what I hope for his next album, strong hooks and melody which gives you some sort of familiarity but also different from before production

WOOWN is more traditional, but there's something that keeps me coming back and replaying it, it's got that trademark melancholy that makes Noel's songwriting for me, and I think the verses are some of the best he's written for HFB

May go for the latter, but of course gotta see how it ages

While listening to ADIAINTGB I imagine Noel lying in the bed and talking with Sara about Liam who's shitposting and dreaming about Oasis reunion. I even think this song was written absolutely about Oasis reunion. And Noel... He thought about it sometimes. And one night he with wife discussed it. He just thought - maybe it's time? That's what opening verse is about. He thinks about reunion more and more. Secrets he was meant to keep. But then he crashed it all - should've kept it in my head. But told to Sara instead - shouldn't do it. And second verse is about Liam who's dreaming about big hit machine again. But no, sir, it's over - the bridge says 'Bye, bye'. You dreamt enough for today. But sometimes we need these dreams - just to get by and not to be in the past forevo. Very personal song I think. That is fantastic one. Melody also makes this 'dream' more atmospheric. It's like listening to lullaby. But ofc it's too 'mind gaming' to think it's about latest stuff.

I like new song, especially verses, but don't like chorus performing - it's too triumphant for me, seems even unfinished. Overall EP's song is better for me now. But new song is strong enough, classic Noel and all this stuff. Interesting to see my opinion a year later. As I didn't change it about ADIAINTGB at all - it's still 9/10 for me, oh yes

[Nyron Nosworthy]

A Dream... is excellent. I like Wandering Star, too. We're On Our Way Now is a bit meh for me.

[The Boy Without the Blues]

I really like both, but A Dream is... feels a bit more interesting, sounds fresh and new to me.

[morning_rain]

ADIAINTGB was something new, uplifting and not too obvious from Noel. WOOWN is like a poor version of something I've heard many times before.

[AubreyOasis]

I think "A Dream..." is easily one of his 10 best solo songs and it's also a bit different from his more traditional style, so I voted for it. WOOWN is more classic Noel but it's true it's a grower and there is something genuinely touching in it

[Pudimbell]

Gave one listen to A Dream Is all I Need when it was released, then completely forgot about it. Came back to it a few weeks ago and it was actually better than I remembered. But We're On Our Way Now has a more "traditional" approach and maybe that's why I like it more. Or maybe it's just because it's newer, who knows.
