Warum ist dein Weblog mit “Listen Up” betitelt?

“Listen Up” ist der Titel einer B-Seite von Oasis, und dabei mit einer meiner liebsten Songs. Muss man gehört haben, um die Faszination zu verstehen. Der Song ist 2000 auf “The Masterplan” erschienen. Hier kann man mal reinhören.

Noel Gallagher zu diesem Song: “Listen Up was done in the same day as Fade away I think. Never played it live. No, we played it live once I think. Could never really get the pace of it right cos the last drummer that we had wasn’t really up to much. The start sounds a bit like Live Forever and then the guitar riff from Supersonic comes in. Which is quite funny. It’s another melancholic titled song about you know; “Sailing down the river alone trying to find your way back home. And I don’t believe in magic, but life is automatic.” It’s all about being on your own. I don’t know if it’s an old one or if it was written specific for the single. But it sounds like an old one cos I was in a traveling phase then. Living in Manchester and living in London.”
