Chords for Noel Gallagher I’ll get OASIS Back together Who built the moon interview [ subtitled ]

[N] are in order, being the first UK [A] artist to get 10 [Db] consecutive number one [D] studio
albums.
I mean it's a tremendous [Gb] achievement.
We've seen this [Bbm] picture
Noel [D] and we can't work out how you feel about it. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ You don't look over the moon.
But that's me looking overwhelmed.
[Gb] Is it?
_ Yeah, that was, [Ab] I wasn't, [Gb] we weren't aware of the record until [Db] like a couple of days before the [Eb] people from the chart company phoned up and asked for a quote.
We had to go and do a count and go, [C] my word it's 10 [D] number ones in a row.
_ And I [B] don't like to make a big deal of it but I like to make a really big deal of it.
_ So everything I do for [Bb] the minute I'm getting people to mention [A] it.
Yeah well, _ [F] it's great.
I think it's fabulous.
[Em] The inductees have been [Gb] announced for the Rock and Roll Hall of [G] Fame for 2018.
They are, it's quite [Ab] a list, Bon Jovi, The Cars, [Gb] Dire [G] Straits, The Moody Blues [B] and Nina Simone.
Now [E] the criteria [Ab] are that single [G] or album has to be released 25 years [F] prior to the [E] date of being inducted.
We did a bit of [Gm] maths [Bb] and [Eb] Definitely Maybe was released in _ [Bb] 1994.
Which means _ [Db] 2019, Oasis [Bb] _ are in.
[B] _ But it would mean, [Db] _
[Bb] you might [Eb] have to [Bb] reform for that.
I mean how would you feel [B] about that?
I'd do it.
Would you? _ _ _
_ _ [Db] _ [Ab] _ [E] Would you?
Would you?
You'd have to [Bb] accept it I guess.
I [Db] guess you'd have to to accept it, yeah.
_ [Cm] That's if you accept it.
[Eb] Would you?
_ [B] _ _ _ [G] I'm gonna [C] [B] say [Bb] no.
_ But there [Ab] was a hesitation.
[Gb] _ _ [A] _ _ [Ab] _ [C]
Your instinct said yes.
I mean I can't, we can say yes. _
_ [Db] _ [C] Let's do it again and say yes.
Would [F] you _ [Gb] reform?
Absolutely, [C] I would be thrilled [Bb] to do it.
_ _ [Cm] Ready [G] and waiting, you heard it here first.
Use that bit as a soundbite.
Well [B] whatever, you are flying high at the moment.
[G] We're gonna be talking about your new music [F] as the evening progresses.
[G] Thank you.
Now your name, or [Bm] variations of it, get thrown [E] around a lot at this [Gb] time of the year.
Well my name_
Around the [Ab] age of 18.
I [Eb] really? _ _
[Gm] _ [Cm] Yeah, that's you.
_ [C] Yes.
Yeah, yeah, [Db] yeah.
_ So all this stuff's gonna be on the [Ab] radar for you then as a [B] dad?
Yeah, I guess, yeah, [Bb] I mean it's a good thing.
It's open to a bit [Eb] _ [N] of_
[Ab] It's [Gb] open, I mean imagine if you just [D] like_
[Gb] Because the clubs [Db] I used to go to used to have taxi [Gm] ranks outside.
Imagine if you just wanted to jump the queue.
[F] _
_ [A] _ _ [Bb] See Angela. _
You know what I mean?
Just put it [B] straight in the can and go home, wouldn't you?
[Bbm] _
I'm not suggesting people do that, I mean it is a very serious thing.
No, no, no, [Eb] absolutely not, I take it very seriously.
_ Who Built The Moon, [A] your brand new album, _ is out now.
Elton John, no less, has said it is
the happiest thing he's ever listened [Db] to.
And he would [A] know.
He [D] would know.
Was that the intention, [Eb] to make a joyous record?
_ [G] _ [Db] Well, no, I [Bb] was not going into it.
I didn't know what I was going to get out of it,
because I [Cm] was writing it in the studio.
_ [Db] _ But the [Eb] backing tracks that I [Bb] came up with [C] just suggested
[Db] _ things that were quite upbeat [D] and uplifting.
And _ it's the most difficult thing to achieve in music,
is to _
[Bb] [C] get some kind of [B] joy in a song.
It's very easy [D] _ to pick up a guitar [C] and watch [Bbm] the news
[B] and write about the [Bbm] things that are going on in the [B] news.
It's very difficult to write about the [C] universal truths
of happiness and love, I [G] think.
Especially in that climate.
So that was something then that you were trying to do?
Is it something you've been working on for a long time
to try and nail that [Eb] concept?
No, _ _ _ [Ab] when I'm writing a [E] song, I would always try
and put some kind of hope in it.
Even if the song [D] lends itself to being a bit sad,
I would [C] always try and round it off lyrically
with a bit of hope in it or a bit [Bm] of joy.
But it's [Db] difficult to do. _ _ _
_ [N] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [C] Happy songs can _ be slightly _ banal, [D] you know.
But [F] _ _ it's_
And you don't do it often.
I mean, if you could do it all the time, it'd be great. _
_ [N] _ _ _ Yeah, I managed to do it, [Db] though.
Nailed it.
Nailed it.
And Holy Mountain, you [Eb] say_
Now, that is banal.
_ [Ebm] But one of your favourite pieces of music ever?
[B] Well, when we kind of got_
[Gb] _
The [C] flute thing is a sample from a record from the [Bb] 70s,
and my producer [C] said,
what do you think [Eb] of this?
And when I heard it going around, I thought,
[Db] it's possibly the most annoying [B] thing I've ever heard
in my [Bb] entire life.
It's [Gb] going to be a hit.
_ And he [C] said, do you think we ought to get a song out of it?
And I was like, [Gb] if it kills me, I'll get songs [Db]
and finish [B] them
and then go to a studio [Bb] _ and we pick [B] the best songs
and that's it, and you know where you're going
and you aim for it and [Cm]
you do your best.
But with this one, my producer, David Holmes_
Hello, [A] David, wherever you are.
He's in Northern Ireland.
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] He said, let's just [Gb] write it in the studio.
So the main difference of that was,
[Bb] any time I did anything that was starting to remotely sound
like Oasis or High Flying Birds,
he'd stop me and say, well, you've done all that,
[Bm] let's try something slightly more [A] annoying. _
LAUGHTER
_ _ _ _ And it ended up sounding quite different.
As _ _ a songwriter, you [D] do lapse into lazy [Bm] habits, _
you kind of [Cm] lean on the things that you're known for.
But you need _ _ kind of pushing sometimes in a [Bb] different direction.
And for you, you know, your whole career,
playing live [Em] is the holy grail, really, isn't [C] it?
Well, that's the payoff.
Yeah, so do you think about that?
It's literally the payoff these days.
[G] LAUGHTER
_ [Db] _ Do [C] you think about [E] that payoff while you're writing?
_ No, [G] I would generally treat [F] the three _ things,
writing, recording [B] and playing live, as different things.
I wouldn't, when I'm writing,
[C] I wouldn't think about how it's going to sound on record.
You just write the best that you can.
[Bm] And when you're in the studio, you're [Eb] just trying to get out
of the speakers what you've got in your head.
But then when you get on [Gb] tour,
it's [Ab] only then that you know how good your songs [B] are,
because you're placing them beside other [C] songs
from the rest of your career.
And how good are they?
Yeah, and are they going to stand up?
And [D] you'll see what people are reacting to the best.
So the first few weeks of a tour can [B]
be pretty, [Gm] not difficult,
but _ [Db] _
you're kind of working out what's going to work best in a set.
[C] But you only get to really know them after about six, seven weeks. _
And so for you, then, it's very much about that [B] kind of, the audience.
I mean, how competitive would you say you are
with your music these days?
Because back in the day, in the 90s, you know, Oasis, Blur,
there was a lot [Dbm] of good [Bb] conflict there, and the Brit-pot,
and the way that music was going [Gb] then.
These days, [Ab] you know, being knocked off [G] the top spot
by Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, I mean, how bothered are you?
I've been trying to gold Sam Smith into [A] a war of words.
_ _ _ [F] _ _
[Dbm] Unfortunately, people these days are so nice.
Is that the problem?
_ [Bb] I'll get him, though.
Him and Harry Styles.
_ [Db] _
_ So does that annoy you, the kind of clean [Ab]-cut persona feels?
[F] _ _ _ _ [D] Erm, er_
I tell you what they have got.
I was doing a thing at Radio [E] 1 the other week,
and Sam Smith was there.
[Db] _ Lovely [F] lad.
He had [Ab] a bigger entourage [Gb] than the Pope.
[Db] _ _ [Em]
Honestly, there's about [Ab] 60 people with him.
And I was like, wow, good God.
I was there on my own.
[F] _ _ _ _
And, erm_
[Bb] As you have done [Ab] today.
Yeah, but the _ _ [D] current crop of [Db] _ pop stars,
_ [A] yeah, they're a bit [Bb] clean [D]-cut and a bit nice.
I [Bbm] mean, you know, bless them [D] and all that,
but in the 90s, the 90s [Db] was a bloodbath, man. _ _
His [D] eyes lighten up as he says bloodbath.
One Direction [Bb] wouldn't have got to Elevenses
if they'd have been done before [F] lunch.
Brilliant.
Exciting times.
