I'M 61 years old now. 1968 seems so far away. Sometimes I will go back and sit on the river bank where Annie and I would sit and watch the water slowly pass on It's way to the sea. It took a part of us with it. A long kiss would seem to stop the river and time, and for a moment we lived in the eternal present. Much too soon she, like that span of river, was gone. I've never loved that way again.
@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 !
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!
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.
@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!
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?
@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.
ha, i never knew he actually covered this, but this is what he based half the world away on, he said himself "it sounds exactly like it, i cant believe he hasnt sued me yet!"
I've heard this song over the years...many different versions and liked it but never knew it's origins or even its name. This is the most killer rendition I have heard.
holy shit ,i just thought what the fuck would i do if ,,, noel ,kicked my door in and said,, right you ..you fucker ..im going to teach you how to sing this song even if it kills me..wow .yeah..cool.scarey -cool
am i the only stupid idiot here?..i wrote 23 lines and forgot to ....post comment..what i wrote was...noel or LIAM...when you come over bring the real bacardi no cheap shitte...no james cook or morgans spiced..i can only sing if its bacardi ..ok kid..sorry again for bull sh....ng
oooops ,ah shit noel,,i forgot i cant sing when im sobre,,is that how you spell sober?..but anyway ,,,when you come over i think i would need a few........thousand lessons,,you can stay with her ma .while you teach me ,,her sister is sound
ach ..noel,,,belfast calling .same as me after 8 bacardis hic up,,,m8,,,,put that band outside my door and i think i could do a simular job..ok..ok i spelt it wrong ....im tipsy, ,,one thing i think,, my wife needs it ,,no!...i think she needs me singing this song to her..hi kid contact me ,,,and lets give it a go kid,,,love sean.d...age 44
Wow...I can't believe it's him. Some parts it sounds like him but overall wow! It sounds quite different. His voice is very...versatile. He's so great.
Really love this tune. . . brings back memories in N.O. Bobby Sherman's version is cool too. But one commenter said it all: this dude's got loads of emotion packed into it. Should have made it longer. . . . . .NICE JOB!!!
he´s just singing the notes, he knows nothing....better keep on being the secondary rockstar, that job needs to be done as well and he´s certainly great at that. What´s his next bus stop gonna be?
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
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.
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.
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.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
For fucks sakes open your mouth and sing!!! No wonder oasis gets there asses kicked on a regular basis when they come to the states...Oasis, who see themselves as "untouchables" with no superiors in the music fields, need to check out the faith no more version.. Patton by far out does this british twat in every note of this song. And the sad thing is.. this particular song aint even Faith no mores kind of style. Noel, you drone like a fucking airplane, and you have NO charisma, and plainly SUCK
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
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....
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.
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
