The Masterplan Track Comments
Noel Gallagher - That's my favourite song I have ever written I think. I wrote that one in an hotel room in Japan and again it was that we needed some more songs for B-sides. I remember just sitting down with the guitar when it wasn't really much happening. Sort of a quiet night, maybe really early in the morning. I swear the things just came out. I like the sound of it. I like everybody's playing on it. I like the singing as well. I don't know why Liam didn't sing that one. I love all the lyrics on that one.

I think it's the most complete song I've ever done in the studio. I don't like playing the guitar solos on tour anymore. I used to like it at first but I don't like it anymore cos I used to play the same thing sort of over and over on a different melody. It sounds different but it is the same.

Owen suggested that we turn the tapes over and play it backwards and play just some series of random notes and then we'll see if we could get some sort of solo out of it. We thought it was going to take hours. When we turned the tapes back over, that was it. And I think we maybe had to take a couple of notes out. And then we spent a couple of days on the strings and the brass and then just got the intro and you know put them on the side of it and that was it.

That is everybody's favourite song I think. All the fans that used to surround the band was always going 'You got to save that for the next album.' But the next album was like two years away at that point. I don't mind thinking of it as being a B-side. I guess the masterplan was to be the biggest band in the world and we probably were for a good year periodly... And then it sort of leveled off since then. Which is climax and taking a bit of the heat off really.

The first line 'Take the time to make some sence of what you want to say', that's probably me sitting down thinking about what I want to say I think, but that's a good line and then. 'Cast your words upon the waves', means the air waves. I suppose it's about peoples fear of growing old... Well you know, all we know is that we don't know. You know if you wanna dance, dance. If you don't, don't. I suppose it's saying that there is no masterplan.

Seriously, this song is truly stunning. Noel's lyrics are truly perfect for the music. Awesome, shame it wasn't on WTSMG or BHN.

Definitely the greatest b-side. Just great lyrics and melody and vocals and backwards guitar solo and everything else.
