"Valley Of A Thousand Thoughts" - perfect for Shenmue III if speculation regarding magical elements transpire to be true. Even if it's just when Shenhua gets out some peyote in that cave we've all been stuck in for 15 years.
Back in the mid 90's I had this on repeat after taking mushrooms with my best friend. We ended up sitting patiently on the end of his bed staring at the wardrobe, sincerely waiting for a train to come through to take us on a trip, and moaning about British Rail. Then the wardrobe doors started breathing in and out and things got very interesting indeed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VG9CAd1d1yU
Also been playing "Kick Muck" while jamming along on my bass. It's the track I'm muting my tv and kicking Lan Di's ass to. 70 man battle is seriously intense with this blasting out my 1000 watt rig... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Kxr3N2ht6Q
Noel had some good tunes. Liam had a good voice. But in Oasis they couldn't buy a lyric worth a f*ck. They had a massive platform for years and they said absolutely f*ck all.
I heard them introduce their tracks with "Here's another song with shite lyrics". So at least they were honest about it.
On the subject of lyrics, Noel gets too much shit for his lyrics. There's a lot of nonsense in there but there are just as many great lines. I think he's gotten even better lyrically since he started the High Flying Birds too.
Seriously though, lyrics are such a personal thing. I'm sure Oasis lyrics mean the world to a lot of people. Some 20+ years ago, I learned the bass part to every Oasis track for an Oasis-mad band I'd just joined. The words done nothing for me and all I can remember now is something about a wall and a Sally.
I was more into Blur at the time. I'm not a fan of Albarn's voice but, in the absence of a decant vocal (or lyrics sometimes), great music goes a long way. (Ozric Tentacles!). Also I'm a big fan of Graham Coxon's guitar playing.
Have you seen this? Once upon a time Noel and Damon performing together would have devastated some Blur/Oasis fans and spiked the suicide rate.
This could be the Shenmue III Kickstarter theme song: "We've Got The Power!"
