Oasis throater Noel Gallagher has opened up about a lack of inspiration as the recording process for the band’s next album picks up pace.
Dipping in and out of Abbey Road Studios for the past six weeks, the quintet have several tracks on tape already, but Noel is struggling for lyrics.
"I've literally got nothing left to write about,” admitted Gallagher in a typical show of honesty.
“I've wrote about being a youth, and I've wrote about being a rock star, and I've wrote about living life in the big city."
‘Cause really, what else is there? Tackling:
"[I’ve been] re-visiting some of my more psychedelic trips of a younger man, because I remember them all you see... putting them to music."
Recording resumes on Monday (5 Nov), with the act looking to finish mixing it sometime close to the advent of the new year.
So, Oasis kick nostalgia’s bucket; bite the waylaid bullet – finally?
Time may’ve made up rapid ground since the release of Be Here Now, but it’s refreshing to hear the band give up one ghost to chase another. You reckon?
DiScuss.

WRITTEN!
The word he was looking for was 'written'
It's time to go psychedelic, eh?
So he's emulating everything the Beatles did, then - apart from the "second album onwards also being good bit"...
Every Beatles album after With...
wasn't half as good as it or PPM.
Noel Gallagher admits to lack of inspiration
for the last decade*
*Noel Gallagher reaches end of record collection
I didnt think The Beatles back catalogue was that vast.
what took him so long?
Has he ever
written about castles? People like songs about living in castles...
If I was Noel's mommy
I'd say, Try dropping out of the London hi-life and put yourself in an uncomfortable situation, the way Bowie did moving to Berlin to buy his own groceries.
That advice is free, but next time it's $200/hr.
So it's just a lack of inspiration lyrically...
Their lyrics have never meant anything!
It'll still be shite.
silly boy
noel's lyrics are brilliant, wise and uplifting and actually quite deep and honest although simple, vague and very samey within their structure, the fact that most people don't notice this is their charm. The fact that Liam doesn't know what they mean (most of the time) is the most perfect thing ever...a brother to sing his songs that are too personal for him to sing
there's more to Oasis (to Noel's world) than meets the eye!
If you're short of inspiration
make stuff up? Or just work a desk job and end up getting lost in your own imagination.
this is
the most genuinely frightening thing i've seen all year.
"Noel Gallagher short of inspiration"
NO SHITT!
The sink is full of fishes
What else is there left to say?
Noel ran out of inspiration after Def. Maybe...
this new LP then promises to be their worst ever
OASIS'
previous attempts at psycadelia have always been embarrasing. Who Feels Love was like a song by the Rutles and Probably All In The Mind was pretty naff too.
Noel is right, whats left to write about? Hang on, you've just had a kid.. surely theres some inspiration there no? (personally, i hope not)
Why do a record
if you've got no inspiration? Go away and do something else.
As we near 2008
It is criminal that Oasis should still be thinking of putting records out...They should have stopped in 98!
