OASIS: Idler's Dream

[queenraver01]

this song is very poignant and heart felt! not bad considering they were meant to be a bunch of bad boy alcoholic drug takers! beautiful song one of so many gr8 b - sides n like many have said they should of be on the album!

[oasisthebest03]

this is beautiful.. who can say oasis were rude? if noel had been so rude he would have never written such a breathtaking love song.. I feel in love just listenin to it !

[TheLukaraptor]

should have been on Heathen Chem along with 'Thankyou For The Good Times'.

[jimbob2185]

one of the most beautifiul oasis songs ever wrote brings a tear to my eye jst as so many oasis songs do greatest band ever live forever . . . .

[van1980]

I'd like to hear this on acoustic instead of piano.

[redgaz26]

@van1980 no the piano is what makes it different from his other slow songs , its perfect

[SoupyGeorge]

Shit quality

[TheModFather2]

hope your dads ok billy boy

[jasonWhoress]

I never understood why did not put a song like beautiful in their own album...

[Sandman29Enter]

a wonderful song coming from someone who always thought they were a typical 90s brit band,, something so exeptional and beautiful about this one..

[1234mhgj]

All oasis songs helps you get through life it tells you about love life and all that shit its just the fucking truth those haters out there need to fucking listen too these lyrics they think there so cool listening to there shitty rap and all that bollocks but this is true music it gives you a feeling and thats what a true band/song writter is thanks too liam noel and the rest of the band we have them to thank for coming into our lifes.

[ASassyVulture]

This and Who Put The Weight Of The World On My Shoulders are the best unreleased Oasis songs!!

[LukeResende]

@ASassyVulture This was released.

[ASassyVulture]

@LukeResende no i mean like non album, sorry for not clarifying :)

[elephantsmemoryband]

Proof how Oasis's b-sides always wiped the floor with their a-sides.

[1983BillyBoy]

My dad's on his last legs. This track always tugs my heart strings but me & my mum just sat hugging to this in tears. Beautiful. x

[johnoeliam]

8 people must be insane.

[supersonic5660]

havent listened to this 4 ages used to dedicate this to my missis wot a tune, noels a genius

[TBBTV1]

my favourite oasis song by a country mile.

[pablogday]

It takes my soul heaven and back in 3 minutes, it makes me feel something I can't explain, I've never felt before. It's just heaven.

[Kentyyy123]

this song never fails to give me goosebumps!

[StaceyIsBored]

:(

[Stereotype23]

The Hindu Times single is one of my favorites ever - this song is better than any on Heathen Chemistry imo.. (and DBTT for that matter)

[akara86]

probably the most beatiful b-side ever.

[hollyw1se]

I love Oasis so much that it hurts.

[izvunzemen]

@hollyw1se you just lied :) it doesn't hurt ... it's just somethin you never felt before :P

[jaydelmitch]

pure perfection

[carlphone]

@jaydelmitch Until 1.45 yes.

[keistevo]

3 minutes of premature ejaculation!

[dubateer]

@keistevo i think the word your looking for is 'constant' ejaculation

[leeBwatson]

The living legend and genius that is ..........Noel gallagher.........Respect.

[md47bot]

the dream of a man called Noel Gallagher

[Alexxxman2006]

one of noels finer pieces

[skint0n0minted]

i only like the songs noel sings - hes amazing. i have no time for the gobby lennon wannabe the lazy arogant cunt

[Thetrinity93]

Love oasis the best band forever love this song

[pretty9reenpark4]

what an amazing song never heard this all the time ive been listening to oasis noel gallagher is a true songwiter i agree noelsplectrum9 from ubeat tunes like supersonic to songs like this so different brilliant i love noel on acoustic love oasis and i think noel has a better voice than liam and dont send the hate comments i kno liam was a wicked singer in his hay day but noel is awsome.

[TheJosef1980]

Top top tune.

[oz1641]

The 90s were the 60s all over again,

and Oasis were the Beatles,

why did it have to end...........

[chema18690]

preciosa canción

[PlaceboMode]

This is freaking beautiful.

[Chio95nwfan]

It's Liam on the piano isn't he? It would be very nice to be him,you know,he plays the piano since childhood so it must be him(I hope)By the way,what means idler?anyone knows?

[Epicsinger]

@Chio95nwfan

It's probably Gem. He plays the piano also.

An Idler is a lazy person, cos "idle" means "lazy" in english, doesn't it?

[TheMrbollox]

This should have been an album closer.

[indiebaloo]

dont think theres any words for how amazin that song is to be honest.

[alty567]

i agree SOOO much!!!!!

[cataphractus]

The video info says it all - great song for, er, great people maybe, but surely from GREAT MAN.

God bless ya, Noel Thomas David Gallagher, God bless ya and thanks...

[PlaceboMode]

Like it.

[giusimadferit]

Noel the best songwriter ever.

[bondiish]

hes better than Paul Mc cartney . Noel and john lennon are the two greats

[quickmantan]

@bondiish

george harrison is the best song writer, along with lennon.. pauls a good song writer but his voice sucks...

[tomandyshow]

@quickmantan are you insane, paul was the best singer, then lennon then george harrison.

[quickmantan]

@tomandyshow

no yoru insane for thinking paul is the best singer,, pauls voice is plane and crappy

[ignition1011]

great song

[balzingmacs]

I simply love this song. Oasis and The Beatles, both are cannot be compared with other bands. Noel's behavior may not be liked by most of the people but as a lyricist, he is no less than Paul McCartney.

[craigmcdonagh1]

its liams behaviour people dont like, people love noel

[BobzurUncle1]

3 minutes of heaven

[yeneewSSweeney]

@BobzurUncle1

3 minutes and one second of heaven. :) I like to be an asshole,

[felix8989]

Love the lyrics.

[TheModFather2]

i think it means someone who is a lazy lad but his girl will still be there for him hence idlers dream

[utwothefly1]

beautiful song ...what does idlers dream mean at the end though??

[noelsplectrum9]

i love oasis more than anythin it frustrates the life out of me when people say they all sound the same!!! but i think noel shouldve had the balls to put more b sides on albums this on heathen chemistry lets all make believe on sotsog eyeball tickler etc instead hes played it safe on the albums!!!! dont start givin me the thumbs down the albums are great but these songs shouldnt be b sides no way!!!

[leeBwatson]

@noelsplectrum9 time for another masterplan i think!

[noelsplectrum9]

definitely mate maybe the sessions they did with death in vegas that would be good

[MOJORISIN92]

@noelsplectrum9 yip he threw away b-sides that wouldve made some band careers

[ALANJONESism]

@noelsplectrum9 100% X 100%

[LeJennii]

wonderful song!

[oasis12003]

i think its good these are b sides because thats what all legendary bands are about finding them hidden gems that every other run of the mill band would base there career around oasis are a wall off sheer brilliant noise an i love them for these moments

[tiptoppunter]

couldnt agree with you more, they have got so many hidden tunes that only the real oasis fans know!! he is in my opinion the best songwriter the world has ever seen and he has he acoustic performances to go with it!! a true god...

[Jcm9991]

Yeah I agree with that.

[MsAngelChild]

I have been saying this forever. We need another B-side album!

I admit that I have been downloading B-sides illegally (i live in N America so I can't find the singles EP's)

But I would LOVE to be able to pay Oasis to hear these songs!

[leeBwatson]

wow Noel is juyst champion!

[Jcm9991]

Oasis would definitely be considered as one of the greatest bands of all time if they would have released these amazing B sides. Just visualize an album with songs like:- Carry Us All, Full On, Idlers Dream, You've Got The Heart Of A Star, Cigarettes In Hell, It's Better People, Just Getting Older, One Way Road etc .... Absolutely amazing band.

[shaneodono]

eh, dont forget the unreleased gold.. See the sun, Take me.... Unreal!

[Jcm9991]

Yeah I could have listed so many. Just shows how good this band are. I recently started getting into Sitting Here In Silence (On My Own) and Shout It Out Loud. Great songs.

[thebomber1983]

this is an unbelievble song, so different even from noels acoustic guitar sound. kiss and make the fuck up boys. oasis represent the dying breed of old fasioned rock n roll bands, brillant live, do great acoustic ballads and dont give fuck .these days its the internet driven pop rubbish like lady gaga, cheryl cole, and x factor. Oasis are the last of the legendry bands. Long live Oasis

[Jcm9991]

Yeah I definitely agree with that. Most music today is shit. The only two bands I like at the moment and are still together are Muse and Kasabian. Both awesome bands.....But Oasis are beyond comparison!! Best band of all time!!!

[Snivellus19]

a masterpice... i love Noel's voice here!

[BobzurUncle1]

beautiful song.

still prayin for the solo album.

[MrTrevormctrevor]

wot a tool, beatles are most overatted ever.

[List3nUpp]

your name should be: have no life.

[arcticGO]

Noel told that he would´ve experimented new sounds if it hadn´t been for liam so i hope he does it now

[bengraham1250]

TUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNE

[SONGBlRD]

io ce l'ho .. le ho tutte

MITICOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[KennyMark89]

anybody got this on mp3 cant get it anywhere :( ?

[dukeniko]

this is from the single "The Hindu Times"

[2627murph]

what the fuck do you know about rock and roll? what the fuck do you know about lyrics? you are bent you COCK. i bet your a yank.

[Juliaze93]

Oh my god.I'm amazed. I love that song.And C'mon guys. Find together again.

[callycap3]

this song is 100% noel

noel written, noel sung

probably even noel on the piano.

im upset about their breakup but noel has such a huge amount of potentional to thrive in a solo career.

hes gna be one of the greatest solo musicians ever

[tandard5]

Fa venire semplicemente i brividi

[iangard]

perfection!

[dontlookbackinanger0]

when they I asked noel "how you define oasis in one word? he said "ME "that is true.

[bubsa]

truely amazing lyrics ...

[filthygallagher]

perfect

[OasisGirlAmberxx]

love this song so lovely and mellow thanks to great old Noel

[EnglishCanary]

Theres a bit of The Beatles, a bit of The Kinks, a bit of The Smiths, another bit of The Beatles... And hell, a lil' bit of Elton John in Oasis! ;)

Oasis, forever the greatest. That encapsulates all that is great about British music.

[TheModFather2]

i'll meet you on a day that never ends,that is quality, at least we've had the pleasure.

[alty567]

agreed!!

[DrinkCarling]

:(((((

[chucklebug13]

listen to this and then read the last tales from the middle of nowhere on the oasis website,

guarrentee you will cry

[alty567]

AGREED!

[oaSisFANatiC1000]

lol i never noticed the breathing

Noel come back, Oasis needs you

[jono86]

Oasis do need Noel, but Noel doesn't need Oasis. His solo record will be better than Oasis record of this decade.

[XxF1cexX]

ez hermoza...T-T

[carrotandcoriander]

never gets old.Oasis til i die.

[alty567]

SNAP!

[Shadnia89]

anyone have the notes to this? Cheers

[Finnbo96]

yeah i didn`t mean it like this lady gaga is big shit but idlers dream would be higher in the charts than falling down or sth. like this

[00nillynolly00]

Pure Perfection........

[cndn85MB]

I don't know why...but I love that you can hear him breathing before each line...is that weird?

[ashley1lloyd]

no its a class song :]

[jayduf]

Yes, yes it is

[cndn85MB]

I'm female...if that makes it less wierd...lol

[unitedrd99]

absolutely amazing the guy that brought us cigarettes and alcohol also came up with this genius

[09mrPNJ]

one man so many classics go noel

[CosmicComplex]

@ finnbo96

I don't agree with that germans like lady gaga , but lady gaga sucks !!!

[cndn85MB]

I think that if Noel ever actually does a solo record it'll be mega...

[jamesosix]

i could not agree more tbh...the next big thing after john lennon..

[LesHorreurs]

Easily my favourite Oasis song of all time.

[THthefirst]

Really like this one.

Has anyone noticed how, in the last 30 secs or so, when he's singing "shangri la" etc, you can sing over it some might say, slide away, stop crying your heart out etc!!

[dannyhoban]

the chords in that bit are the same as the 'slide away' chorus bit

[CiTyLiGhTsDoNtShInE]

Perhaps you should watch tripods oasis medley.

- Noel fan

[Finnbo96]

with this song they would easily be no. 1 in Germany, cause the German like this kind og music!

[leeBwatson]

no 1 anywhere if it had been an a-side ........but hey! oasis are the b-side kings ................noel rules ! .............what a songwriter he has been and Is. up there with the best IMO.

[willber94]

whats theis a b-side to

[1690rfc1690]

how can this be a b-side unbelievable this is when you know oasis are gods when they write b-sides that could easily be a number 1

[flenost]

sounds a bit like jungleland with bruce springsteen in the intro

[EdEckersley]

Who plays piano on this?

[Radiofied666]

idlers dream, carry us all, one way road, lets all make belive, cigarettes in hell, round our way, step up, i got the fever, flashbax, its better ppl, and youve got the heart of a star

[caustic77755]

got them all a week ago, been listening to them on a loop lol

[matt9ah]

Could be one of my favourite Oasis songs of all time!! Awesome!!

[luchob19]

fucking awesome!!

[gertiusmaximus]

awesome

[EDF87]

anyone who knows the notes???I want to learn how to play it on piano!i love this song I love Noel I love Oasis!!!!totally mad fer it!

[guernseyterrier]

i can quite happily just listen to this over and over again!

[cndn85MB]

OASIS NEEDS TO RELEASE ANOTHER B-SIDE COLLECTION!

Idlers Dream

Cigarettes in Hell

Full On

Eyeball Tickler

Half the World Away

Angel Child

Just of the top of my head.

The one thing that has disappointed me about DOYS is that they have only released one orginal B-side! The rest of the B-sides are remixes!

[ChrisinBoro]

nice idea, how about:

Carry Us All

The Fame

(I Got) The Fever

Solve My Mystery

Lets All Make Believe

Wasn't Half the world away ion the masterplan album?

[cndn85MB]

LOL...yeah...it was...realized my mistake after I had left the page and was too lazy to come back and correct myself.

My fault for going from memory...my memory is crap!

Good suggestions all from you though. Heres hoping for a Masterplan II. =)

[caustic77755]

oh god where to start

flashbax and one way road, also when everyone hears let's all make believe i hope oasis get more fans than the beatles

[alex573573]

one of the best they have done!

[thecarolineproject]

This has to be the best pieces of songwriting Noel Gallagher has written. It has the perfect combination of lyrics and melody, instrament arrangement, and features what I think is the most honest and meaningful vocal he has ever done.Not to mention a sneaky musical key change which isnt always a feature in Oasis' music (Unless you count the end of 'all around the world', which has about 100...) As a songwriter myself, this comes pretty bloody close to "The perfect song".

[BeHonestYouShatIt]

GOD BLESS NOEL AND OASIS

[catney11]

What a song, how it was only a B-side is beyond me. This song is timeless!

[Robinson4332]

HOLY SHIT forget the masterplan this is an epic song

[LNGoasis]

best band since the beatles definately! such an amazing tune

[jdsupernova]

Bought hindu times and was just completely gobsmacked when i heard this b-side.... still my favourite noel tune of all time ( and christ there is a load of stiff competition).... but this is just such a beautiful song. Proof that Noel is the finest songwriter of his generation.

[welland3]

brilliant writing beatuful song

[samburf]

dont know why, but im on the edge of tears when i listen to this. No word can describe this song

[piemorgan]

i know that feeling

[19911995]

this must be on a future album

[tyandshell79]

nah mate it was the B-side to Hindu times

[JonToal1]

tune and a half

oasis are shit hot

[bebbi]

One of the best oasis tunes ever

[aqualux999]

i'm a huge oasis fan, but this one had passed me by. wow, its simply beautiful. if they had put all of these b-sides onto another couple of studio albums, no one would have doubted that they are the best in the world.EVER.

[lordovopio]

a song that talks about god.....

so nice.....

i like oasis each day more

[gromit789]

i know this is a bold statement but BEST SONG EVER WRITTEN (in my opionon before people start calling me a twat lol)

[noelgallagherismydad]

wow i better than live forever u think

[bombshell1990]

wow...i'm a masisve oasis fan but this is just incredable. It sounds so different somehow. I reckon if they put this out as a single theyd really top the charts again.

[rossm820]

bside to hindu times son, but good song as u point out

[Fadeaway54]

Should of been on the album.

[bioquimical]

You could think this song as a kind of desperate and honest pray to God as well (im thinking on Jesus), to someone who is in Shangrila, drinking heavenly waters, and you are asking to him: please don´t leave me fucking alone, don´t take my loves away, you can treat me nice, cause i´m just a human being and i'm an idler. Then shows up the weight of reality , you "realise" it's just a dream, but you will always search for Shangrila.

[badburns1992]

?????? its just a song

[shitstainedb4lls]

lol. i was thinkin the same thing

[carlmoss88]

i'll bet your a big hit on a night out

[tomandshow]

bioquimical.. no offence but youre a pretentious prick. your comment looks like an essay... my comment, for what its worth is WHO GIVES A SHIT!! Its a top tune. full stop..... no offence like!

[zooey0]

I love this... it's gorgeous :]]

How can Noel be so brilliant?

[phillmoasis91]

anyone know who played piano on this ??

[badburns1992]

prps noel

[live4ever1994]

fuckin brilliant

[ktbarks3]

Last night my boyfriend played this song and told me he loved me for the first time and it felt amasing. I'll never forget it for being the best night of my life!!!!

[TOBYTAYLES]

this was wifes favourate oasis she sadly passed away on 11 nov 08 i hope she can still listen to it now,god bless you sarah jayne.

Oasis awakens my so
