#3 -- Live Forever
Album: Definitely Maybe
"That´s for our mam. It´s quite simply one of the ten greatest songs of all time. I said that when I first wrote it and I stand by it now. I challenge anyone else in the next ten years to come up with anything as good. Except for us of course. Well, it´s about relationships that people have, not necessarily with girlfriends, about friends and friendships that live forever.. commitment. It´s not about anything, it´s not a love song, the word love, you can love Mars bars, and I love my bike. It´s a song about respect, having respect for your girlfriend, your mother or your father or your friends. The line `We see things they´ll never see´, only two best friends would say that to each other, two twins maybe. It´s a song of hope, a song about being young and trendy. A fucking good song but I think I can do better." (Noel, 1994)
The guitar solo takes me to another place. Perfect tune if there ever was one.

Pat (CastleCraver) has been an Oasis fan since the early days,
and couldn't be more excited about the upcoming tour. When being mad fer it isn't consuming him, he's studying away at grad
school in Cleveland, Ohio. Originally from Indianapolis, he curses the heartless twat that caused the car accident back in Summer '01
and the subsequent cancellation of three tour dates. Although he's still awaiting his fanclub tickets, he's sure you'll find him 15th row,
dead center on the floor for the MSG gig, singing/screaming his lungs out and generally being a drunken ass. His rankings reflect his opinions
alone, and constitute nothing but a fun diversion to count down the days until the gig. See you there!

Noel's solo is the closest he ever got to John Squire. Not the superfluous, coked Squire... the "every note is so perfect that if you took one out the song would falter" Squire.
