From the new single released yesterday titled "<i>The Death of You and Me</i>," that most people assumed is about the death of Oasis, we are sure to expect more Oasis-like tunes from Noel; after all, he wrote most of the Oasis songs. This song did remind me of "<i>The Importance of Being Idle</i>" from the album <b>Don't Believe the Truth</b> but with a more colorful and joyful message behind it. Simply can't wait to see Noel live for his solo tour.<br />

The new album will be release on Jan 25,2011. And she will also be playing at <a href="http://www.boweryballroom.com/event/5644">Bowery Ballroom</a> on Feb 9. <br />

His version is more simple and straight forward; I still like the original one better though, but I really appreciate their cover version and hopefully helped promote The Suburbs!</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
