Everybody’s On The Run - Noel Gallagher Demo

[Thought Art]

Hang in there love
You've got to hold on
You've got to be strong enough for love
'Cause everybody's on the run

Everybody's On The Run

When you can't fight the feeling
And all is the same and the pouring rain
Is coming out of the ceiling - falling from above
Falling in and out of love

A broken heart is still beating
In and out of time - hold your body next to mine
But you can't stop the bleeding
Sing to yourself and hold on
'Cause everybody's on the run

Hang in there love
You've got to hold on
'Cause everybody's on the run

You've been drifting and stealing
Trying to walk in my shoes
But they don't belong to you (you know they don't)
If you can't find the meaning
Sing to yourself and hold on
'Cause everybody's on the run

Hang in there love
You've got to hold on
You've got to be strong enough for love
'Cause everybody's on the run

Great share.

The way it meditates on that classic Britpop chord progression - the emotional grammar of youthful swagger and universal uplift - only to dissolve, slowly, into more ambiguous harmonies in the final minutes, is the perfect analogy for Gallagher’s, and with him Britpop’s, maturation.

From the radiant confidence of youth to the layered ambivalence of adulthood, the music expands without ever quite resolving - neither in hope nor in despair, but into something more complex: a suspended, unresolved intensity.

You hear it - the ghosts of the past shimmering behind the melodies. The youthful anthems still echo, but they’re folded now into richer textures, refracted through a deeper palette of feeling. The music doesn’t announce a new beginning, but it doesn’t mourn a clean end either. It hovers.

What a great post-Britpop track - and what a hauntingly beautiful version of it this is.

lol

95% of everything I write is me.

I just feed it through ChatGPT to tighten up my disorganized stream of consciousness.

Sometimes it suggests a phrase or formulation I wouldn’t have come up with myself, but that fits perfectly.

Still, I think it would be very vulgar to speak on behalf of a machine.

I’ve actually explicitly trained it not to mess with my formulations, because working in high-ticket sales is a very delicate rhetorical business - one wrong word can be a huge legal liability and undermine entire negotiations.

@Nilsi Interesting.

We think very differently about music. 
 

For me it’s more a spiritual thing I don’t fixate m genre that much.

Definitely a spiritual thing for me aswell.

I have a very active mind, but a job that demands full focus - so I need some outlet for all the obsessive thinking that builds up during the week. I usually don't have the cognitive bandwidth or time to sit down with dense philosophical texts, but there are always small windows where I can grab a coffee, light up a cigarette, put my headphones on and listen to music - jot down thoughts in my Notes app, check RateYourMusic, or read up on genres, trivia, and so on.

Music naturally became that outlet - a way to vent all the intellectual energy. And like with anything you stick with, once you gain some proficiency, you start building momentum. You realize you actually have something interesting to say here and there - and that's just fun and rewarding.
