Fade Away Track Comments
Noel Gallagher - It was going to be on the first album. Cos that one was the main song on the set. That probably got taken off the album for Slide Away. I probably wrote it in Manchester. If you listen to the lyrics, I mean they say more about the song that I can tell you write now. 'The dreams we have as children fade away.' I suppose it?s a song about growing up but at the same time not growing old. If that makes any sence. It sounds too good to be one of mine though. I think at the time we were a bit worried cos there was a chance we were going to get sued cos it sounds a bit like a Wham song. Freedom. But it wasn't intentional. And then we done a version of it for the Warchild thing. Which I wanted to do slower. That ended up wrong as well. I mean I like the other version but I like to do it on just a piano as well. A really slow one. Sort of an Imagine part.

3 stars  Good lyrics, but overall..., 04/03/2007, by illinoize88
not a big fan of this song. I never have really got into it. I really like the acoustic versions though. I would have like to have heard an acoustic version with Liam singing.

4 stars  Good tune, 22/12/2006, by livingstrange
i like this music, but the unplugged version at the Danforth Music Hall (Toronto) is sensational...slower, but even better!
