The Seahorses - Love Me And Leave Me

[jamiec4036]

liam=legend!

Squire=Legend!

the only reason i started listenin to de seahorses is coz liam co wrote this song!!!! Ian brown is a legend 2! jus tot id trow dat in der! lol

[pobhockle]

Cool, I thought that might happen, seeing as Liam's getting more and more into his songwriting.

[jamiec4036]

Yeah squire is quite the legend!! dya like the Roses??

[Scarlet337]

Liam's a prick, Squire Rocks, end of chat, LOL

[PerhapsMaybe]

Direct quote from Wikipedia....

"Liam co-wrote a song (titled "Love Me and Leave Me") with former Stone Roses guitarist and songwriter John Squire for The Seahorses' debut album Do It Yourself (1997).[27]"

With a citation. And the citation is "(1997) Album notes for Do It Yourself by the Seahorses. Geffen Records."

Love this song.

i'm going from memory of an interview here: squire said something like "it was a conversation over some drinks and him being who he is, he's gonna get co-writing credits"

seemed to me squire was saying it wasn't like they sat down and wrote a song together. I thought he meant Liam demanded credit.

just my opinion tho.

[pobhockle]

cool story. Even if he's just put a few words to it, Squire's gotta include Liam's name. They would have kicked up a storm if there was no credit. If Squire was bothered, he shouldn't have been cos collaborations benefit both bands. The people who come here to watch this mightn't like the Seahorses that much but like that Liam had some part in this.

[PerhapsMaybe]

My comment wasn't about how Liam earned songwriting credits....

My comment was directed at people who seemed to think it was Noel that got the credits. I never said anything about what Liam did to wrangle himself said credits.

[pobhockle]

I replied to lazyitus.

[PerhapsMaybe]

Sorry, that stupid option to reply from your email clearly doesn't work...

[pobhockle]

Sorry, I don't know what you're saying :(

[lazyitus]

yeah, i don't know why i made that comment as a reply to your statement, it should have just been it's own comment.

[ChillRing]

Fuckin love it man!

[blurry67]

I can't believe what a w***er Chris Helme has been. He was plucked out from virtually nowhere and put on a stage in a very very cool band, playing along side a true legend and he quit the band b/c he "didn't like [Jonh's] lyrics and melodies" and the "muso wanking"... Who does he think he is?!!

[flamingpiebaker]

Love Me and Leave Me" was Liam Gallagher's first full-credited song as a co writer with John Squire.

Very good song. John Lennon's God a distance influence with the believe lines I think. Good stuff . One album I like it and maybe that's all they had and sometimes it's best that way.

[jenhappy6]

THE most beautiful song ever!!!

[solarizer]

eh? oasis?

[TheTelf79]

Shut Up TWAT, Craig, You DOUGHBALL

[superretrochick1]

I love this song so much, my favourite John Squire song, just beautiful

[giwishihadagf]

This is such a great little song, very heartfelt I might add. *smiles*

[MrCamboya]

I love this amazing song...

[jandean61]

i meant "ahead"

[jandean61]

I love the lyrics to this song, Its a head of what going on at this moment in the world....

[RussellBoyce]

Chris Helme played in my local boozer up the road, in December! Shook his hand, said alright etc, seemed a down to earth cool guy - he went out on the piss with some of my pals after it too! Liam Gallagher did backing vocals on this track eh. Superb.

[jandean61]

didnt OASIS NOEL GALLAGHER GET CREDITS FOR THIS SONG ? I believe its on the album sleeve

[pobhockle]

Nah, it says Squire/Gallagher.

[DaveyBain82]

totaly dude i got the guitar book and its john squire and liam gallagher.sorted!

[blackass212]

Yes got a cover of it with him singing on it!!

[bledzhius]

with who? with gallagher?

[PerhapsMaybe]

Liam Gallagher, not Noel. Wiki could have told you that....

[spooner0770]

Is that the made of stone intro or what????

[TheBrownEyedLady]

ahaha i think so!!!

[rathcooligan2006]

defaintly sounds like it. too much

[geordiekarl2k7]

chris helme is giggin round york playing the seahorses songs without the lead guitar of john

[1991noel]

To all the people who say Liam Gallagher can't write a tune, listen & learn. Even if he did co-write it, this tune still shoes his skill man

[oasisforever00]

well said!

[Toohill]

all he wrote was "i belive in brothers"

[pobhockle]

Just found a Squire interview where he said Liam "did the verse and the melody".

[Madchestermod]

can you gimme the link to it please? ta.

[pobhockle]

YouTube doesn't let you give links in comments but if you google seahorses "did the verse and melody" (with quotes), it finds the page ;)

[Musedmark]

Shame this band bombed, so may bands like it are doing well today.

I guess the trendy movement was not present back then.

[bobnakata]

nice tunes.....are they still giggin around???

[1971000000]

No but the lead singer Chris Helme is still gigging.

[galpzz]

i recall the hype this band created...it didn't last long and not many people remebember them. I do.

Thanks for the post.

[oracle8279]

I love this song...i was 18 when this song got famous

[Toohill]

i was 17 Love is the law came out just as i was studying for my highers, my god has it been that long?

[SneakyPrawn]

anyone else think the into sounds like made of stone?

[geordiekarl2k7]

thought it sounded a bit oasis esque, bloody hell , fancy saying that, but we did they give up on a brilliant idea

[raghigno]

great song , very good band and great liam and john squire

[welshshrew]

Great riff. Perhaps play it backwards....

[samevans1]

One of the most underrated bands of the 90s, in my opinion.

[stonerose99]

never seen this vid but loved the song for years...

[pobhockle]

Yeah, it seems like they've never been shown other than back then..
