The US single from Noel Gallaghers forthcoming solo album was played on KrOQ yesterday and it exceeds even my high expectations.

No word of a lie I've had on constant repeat ( YouTube on my iPhone) all day and I still want to hear it again and again.

It's an achingly beautiful love song even better I reckon than Wonderwall.

People are going nuts about it and I wouldnt be surprised if it was a top 10 hit in the US.

Seriously good

Reminds me of Travis / Fran Healy. Interestingly he's just gone solo too.

Fran's got a better voice (and smaller ego) IMHO.
 
I just can't enough of it and listen to it over and over.

It touches me I have to say.

The new album will be incredible and I think it will be one of my favorites of all time. Sound stupid thing to say but I've heard some of the demos at sound checks and the reviews it's been getting from those who's heard some or all of it are unanimously positive.

Epic, magnificent, anthemic is said a lot.

This is why Noel is considered something of a God in the UK. These are songs put out as B sides or not as singles which most people outside of the Uk will not have heard.

These are why I know this album will be very special.

I saw Noel in Sydney when he played his solo tour with Gem? Two rows back this song was the highlight
