Half The World Away

“Another one about leaving cities. Doesn’t mention telephones or rain, though, does it? It could do. We done that the same day as we did Talk Tonight in Texas. The drumming bit that comes in on the brushes, our ex-drummer had these two brushes which he was looking at and going, ‘What do they do?’ ‘Well you do that with that one and you play it like that…’ And after about two hours I got annoyed with him and threw him out of the studio. So I played the drums on that track, and the bass. I like some of the lyrics: “Scratching around in the same old hole/My body feels young but my mind is very old…”

- Noel.

This is one of the first songs I teach my guitar students to play.

— Noel Gallagher"
