  • noel hace que todo suene bien

  • Wooow this song really reflects what I feel now for a girl

    Don't let me be the last to know, my hands are shaking don't let my heart keep breaking 'cos I need your love...

    I really need her love man

  • I'm in love with this guy :)

    Noel has the sweetest voice.

    Live4Ever.

  • how can someone who looks so agressive have such a soft voice? his voice always amazes me.

  • Amazing cover of an amazing song, probably the best version. So much emotion in his voice.

  • His voice makes me melt!

  • oh gee, noel what a voice

  • Wow! Excellent version!

  • Love this version! Noel should have sung much more than Liam...

    

  • good version hard song but he is a top singer

  • I wished he was in love with me... 

  • one awesome version mate!

  • ME MUERO DE AMOOOR :| <3

  • I hear "Half the World Away" in there 

  • Noel Gallagher's "soul" side..

  • @OasisKid99 bo@@ocks he 's totally ripped off the beatles with the vast majority of his songs and freely admits burt bacharach would have been well with in his rights to sue for copyright for 'half the world away' for this very song you deluded oasis fan your the poor disgruntled soul listen and learn or should I say copy the chord structure and progression like noel has and call it a new song !

  • @daveyhop Haha, that is hilarious. It was funny at first, but it comes across that you are actually deadly serious - cheers for that.

  • If only that guy was in love with me <3 Lovely cover :)

  • at 2:08, is that a trumpet or a saxophone? i'm having an argument with someone over it!

  • @bassetts1899 It sounds like a trumpet... Hope you win that bet! :p

  • Weirdly one of Noel's best performance, my god his singing is really brilliant there

  • Usually i feckin hate noel gallagher, on the account of him being liam's brother etc, but this is on the head for me, so i say, for the first time e v e r ; good one Noel!

  • piss flaps

  • stubbly testicles

  • this guy is a fucking genius

  • @pudsy21 yes, burt bacharach and hal david are genii.

  • este tipo si que tiene buen gusto, con razon s habilidad para hacer numeros 1 en los charts, un genio

  • A beautiful song and Noel ''makes it his own'', showed this to my GF who hates Oasis, and she couldn't believe it was Noel lol

  • @dazdavies3342 I agree, cant stand Oasis but this is actually much much better than i thought it would be, good call.

  • This could have been shit, but it's beautiful. Bravo Noel on doing Mr Bacharach proud!

  • is there no end 2 this guys talent ,, fookin awsome BIG TIME NOEL......

  • Best version for me.

  • MJ !!!!!!!!!!

  • Big Oasis fan, but i prefer Herb Alpert's original.

  • I cry when I hear Burt sing this song. I smile when Herb sings it. Noel makes me cry, smile and desire to love again. Good version my friend. Simply lovely! Those damn Gallagher boys...you love them despite of their flaws & exult them for their limited virtues.

  • Bacharach was at piano,Noel sung it....LEGENDLY!

  • Noel's voice is in love with everybody.

  • @kimallenbewick no, everyone's in love with noel's voice. :)

  • @BelleVue1969. This song was Noel's inspiration for writing 'half the world away'...he basically admitted copying it but you'd probably like the later song too!

  • what a beautiful voice he has...i\m in love with this guy

  • Hands up,I'm an old guy and dismissed this guy out of hand but credit where credit is due,he handles this like a dream. Have to up my respect for him and listen to some Oasis!!! Fabulous posting. 5* Any idea why he chose this? Mother's favourite?

    Be interested to know.

  • @BelleVue1969 Noel is a songwriter and acknowledges the debt he owes to the songwriters that influenced him. Anyone who appreciates songwriting respects the work of The Beatles, Bacharach & David, Paul Weller, Morrissey & Marr and many others. Beautiful songs like this never age and their craft is as relevant today as when they were written. One can only learn the art of songwriting by knowing the best of what went before. This song is one of the best.

  • it's WAY better with faith no more.

    Nobody like Mike Patton for this cover...

    well, nobody like Mike Patton for anything....he is just the best! he can sing everything

  • Wow! Noel sounds great! To sing one of Bacharach's songs just shows how talented he is.

  • Sounds really like "Half The World Away".

  • this is pants compared to the Faith No More version. he just doesn't have the range for it. Mike Patton ftw :D

  • This so todally gay

  • @berrygirl1964 I presume you mean Burt Bacharach and not Noel Gallagher...though he makes an decent enough try at it !

  • There is no one better to sing this song....it's hauntingly beautiful.

    Mel

  • bj thomas sings it better.

  • I love you noel <3

  • omg his voice is really attractive

  • @pist75  listen minx things will never change lets face it be gxxood i love you xx

  • Would like to hear Noel sing this now cos his voice has improved so much since 1996.

  • Beautiful, Noel Gallgaher; Thank god it wasn't Liam

  • Sheer unadulterated brilliance. Who'd ever have thought the manc had it in him to do this any justice whatsoever! I need more!

    thums up..to you

  • Comment removed

  • Simple Brilliance is sometimes all we need in our up and down lives. Thanks Burt for a wonderful song & Noel Gallagher for the voice and balls.

    BM

  • Not an Oasis fan but nevertheless a cracking cover,it has to be said !!!

  • what a vocal from Noely G

  • This is Noel. Burt Bach. is the huge picture on the cover of Definately maybe. This was recorded at the Royal Albert Hall.

  • i seen them at SLANE CASTLE CO.MEATH IRELAND YESTERDAY along wit the blizzards glasvegas kasabian PRODIDGY AND URS TRULY AND IT FUKIN ROCKED I LOVE MY GIRLFRIEND:)

  • This IS Noel Gallagher..my mum & Dad were at this concert (Big Burt fans )...remember them coming home & telling me that Noel had performed with him...theres pics floating around online of this..search google images

    Thanks to uploader!

  • No ofcourse not its not.. just sounds exactly like him. your the wanker mate.

  • chill out

  • It very much is Noel!

  • It is and its proved ;D

  • Yes it is, I was at the concert. You're the wanker

  • Faith no more. ,mike patton does this much better. check it out.

  • noel..legend..brits...the only worthwhile island of ppl on the planet...and england...well we rule the earth.

  • it doesn't really sound like Noel....

  • I love this music, but the version of Faith No More is better than the Oasis, alias music that sounded good with the timbre of Mike Patton, Noel failed version. I like the Oasis, this song is much better with the Faith No More.

  • ur a prick, and the name was inspired by an inspiral carets poster

  • Who plays the piano and conducts the orchestra is BURT BACHARACH himself!

    Karaoke?

    Are you nuts???

  • Noel has said he likes tis song, he claims that it was his inspiration behind half a world away, you can see the similaities i suppose. Great song, great artist.

  • search for "noel gallagher burt bacharach teh url" in google and klick on the first link

  • Whoa.. Clint Eastwood xD

  • DId he really???? Noel? wow! never knew he was up to standard music. I actually like it!

    No vid?

  • Wow this is really great.

  • partiture please!!!!! Zenk Iu

  • Noel doing a song lihe that sounds so weird, but so magical . <33

    Noel's voice is magical, you can fall deeply in love with him just because of his voice . It's so... i dunno, his voice it self sounds so sad sometimes . It always touches ours souls.

  • I feel so different about now ....well done ,he must be a fan ..is that Noel or Liam that's doing it

  • Noel

  • what a voice....somethin,special about noel...loads of kissesto him,xxxxx

  • noel is absolutely brilliant at this..he appreciates great songs..love him...jesus hes great at this song..greatttttt..

  • TRIVIA - Burt Bacharach appeared and did a very brief interview in 2004's Definitley Maybe Documentary by Oasis

  • Respect to Noel... a legendary song

  • this is so awesome but bits of this is actualy from the half the world away song.

    easily 5 stars*****

  • jordhl, respect and everything, but NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!

  • If this was sung by Noel then good on him!

  • who the fuck are faith no more?

  • a band that shit over anything those pathetic excuses for musicians called Oasis have ever done

  • go back to them, then. we don't care about americans on oasis videos

  • i dedicate this song to a person very close to my heart and although i did not always approve of your particular taste in music, you should know that you will always be with me, in one way or another

  • he sounds better singing burt bachurach then his own songs! lol

  • Noel's pic at 1:39, oh my.

  • crackin sing

  • was this version sang by NOEL Gallagher ?

  • yes, noel.... it was a while back. 96 i think. bacharach is on the front cover to definitely maybe (like a tribute....) so they pal-ed up in the late 90's. noel kinda plagerised this for "half the world away". and so....

    this kicks the shit out of robbie williams' "swing when when your winning" in my opinion....

  • great version

  • love this, but check the version by sammy davis jr on a british tv show from the 60's.dave dee too cool for words.them msg back .peace

  • Noel is awesome...what a voice and it sounds awesome.

  • This version is incredible! Great job to a great love song!

  • I was there at that night at Royal Festival Hall in London. It was recorded and was later on BBC radio, (Burt was playing the with BBC Light Orchestra) I am a big Bacharach fan and I can't help thinking that Burt knew that Noel couldn't carry this off as he did 'his' version earlier in the concert.

  • jesus i didnt even notice that was noel singin at the start. fuck me it doesnt sound at all like him. hes got a great voice.

  • Indeed.  What a voice.

  • Sends the hairs on the back of my neck on edge, something completely different for Noel, I think he does the song justice!

  • I am afraid he does'nt nail it..he sounds nervous, out of place and too high pitched. I think he was a bit intimidated cos mr Burt Bacharach was in the audeince. Best swing covers by the brit artists is probably robbie williams (my way and mr bo jangles) check them out
