For me, the best track from the album and the last truly great classic Oasis single. I think the secret of its success is the harmony of Noel and Liam's vocals in the chorus making it a genuinely uplifting song. Anyone love this track? Or have you just found it thanks to an advert?

Both are good but far too long. Needed 4 min.lopping off each.

It's not significantly different but it's a bit less OTT... I think it was a Noel Gallagher rerecording / production: xKsT0Z6HW5k (I doubt it will convince anyone otherwise if they think it's awful in the first place)
