Half the World Away

Well, well, you, well, you can see yourself in them sometimes.

And I think w- the, one of the extras which I watched yesterday, and I want to talk about this, have you, um, can you recall in your mind's eye Half the World Away?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

There's, um, there's a lady, I obviously don't know her name, so I'm gonna have to try and describe her.

So, so Matt Welby quoted Noel, "I'd forgotten how much he means to the fans." Um, David Smith, "Noel finally acknowledging how important Liam is to people." Neil, "Noel's newfound respect for Liam." Alberto, "I like the parts where NG is in awe of his brother, giving him the respect." And unnamed reply, "Has to be Noel finally acknowledging how important Liam is to people."

Yeah.

And that's, that's it, isn't it? Because, like, ultimately, especially things like Little By Little, and, you know, the, and Half The World Away and things, it's like, well, that's not that different to when Noel was doing it live.

But then suddenly you throw Liam in the mix, it becomes Oasis, and then it's a different thing, isn't it? And-

Okay, hi there.

I'm Chris and I'm here today with Russ Pritchard, who is someone who co-wrote Ballery for Zootons before playing on the following set of songs, Live Forever, Half the World Away, Stand By Me, Talk Tonight, Cast No Shadow, Little By Little, Whatever.

Don't Look Back in Anger, Wonderwall, and Champagne Supernova as part of Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.

And we're going to find out today in this little segment how he's gone from where he began to playing these arenas, playing these classic songs.

bit.

No, so when I went to see them, that was, obviously, everyone was singing that one, but Master Plan and Half the World Away just erupted everywhere.

And actually, they out-sung on that.

They out-sung on that song.

[laughs]

... you know my song, don't you? Half the World Away.

Away-

He loves singing this

But then the, the way the other film is edited, it makes it feel like no, it was literally the first day.

They're playing, uh, Half the World Away, and Noel's sitting on a chair and he's facing the band.

I don't know if you remember that.

Yeah.
