How Did Noel Gallagher Write So Many Classic Songs?

In this video, Oasis's rhythm and lead guitar player Noel Gallagher discusses songwriting concepts on electric and acoustic guitar. Noel played lead guitar up until 2000, after which he shared both rhythm and lead with fellow band member Gem Archer. Songwriting on the guitar is an essential skill for most musicians and guitarists.
Songwriting is the creative process of crafting lyrics, melodies, and often musical arrangements to create a song. It involves combining words, emotions, and musical elements to convey a message, tell a story, or evoke certain feelings in the listener. Songwriting can be done by individual artists or collaborative teams and can encompass a wide range of genres and styles, including pop, rock, hip-hop, country, folk, and more.
The process of songwriting typically involves brainstorming ideas, developing a theme or concept, crafting lyrics that fit the chosen theme, creating a melody that complements the lyrics, and arranging instrumentation or musical accompaniment to enhance the overall sound of the song. Successful songwriting requires a balance between creativity and structure, as well as an understanding of musical theory, storytelling, and emotional expression.
Songwriters draw inspiration from various sources, such as personal experiences, emotions, current events, literature, and cultural influences. The goal of songwriting is to connect with listeners on an emotional level and create a memorable and impactful musical piece.

This elegant compilation of interviews with Noel Gallagher about the craft of songwriting is a real treat. It is hard to believe 'Live Forever' is 30 years old now and still sounding as exuberant as it did when I first heard it. And what's inspiring is to learn how competitive Noel Gallagher is about his vocation and wants to write songs as great as the ones "caught" by Bono or Chris Martin. Another interesting thing I learned is that Noel Gallagher cannot write anything good when he is sad! He leaves the angst-induced songwriting to Thom Yorke! Don't you think Noel is in the minority of creators with this mindset? Bono, in another video speaks about how depressed he was when he wrote 'With Or Without You.' And Bono speaks openly about the darkness that always engulfs him. Usually, an artist needs a lot of pain to generate anything that could make a big impact on the world. But, Noel is that rare exception! He has to be happy to write good songs! So, let's hope his beloved Manchester City keeps winning everything! And, regardless of how anyone ends up writing songs that become classics, we must realise that great songs, just like its creators get to live forever. (Thank you to the person or persons behind this KZfaq channel Music Matters for this inspiring video). 23 September 2023.

For some reason a comment Noel made right back in an early 90s interview came back to me recently and I realised for me it is the key to his genius. He talked about being taken to see Manchester City at main road by his dad, who would then promptly disappear to the bar and leave him with his mates for ages. He said he didn’t mind, because he was surrounded by good people who would sing their hearts out to either football chants of the day, or their favourite records that came over the stadium PA. Think of that from the perspective of a young kid, he’s literally getting a psychological masterclass in what makes people want to sing their hearts out and that’s why, love them or hate them, Oasis set was full of stadium-filling mega tunes.. it’s in his DNA.

A key distinction to make is that whilst Noel (and other pop songwriters) didn't formally study music, they all did informally. Noel spent years learning music by ear, figuring out chords, keys and scales. He just did it in his bedroom rather than in a classroom. Nobody is born with complete knowledge of the craft of songwriting, it has to be learnt and harnessed. And the craft element is probably more important. I'm a songwriter myself and whilst talent and inspiration are natural and very important, knowledge and skill on an instrument are necessary to be able to compose music. Just because Noel doesn't know the language of music theory (he actually does know a fair bit, if you dig around) that doesn't mean he doesn't understand musical composition because he obviously does. There's a difference between knowledge and understanding. A good video on this: 'How much music theory did The Beatles know?' kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ftOahbBkpuDNhI0.html
@MusicMatters_SC 8 ай бұрын
Yeah I really agree, great comment 👍🏼 I think generally since people prefer to program music now using a DAW there has been a decline in people spending the time to learn an instrument. It’s a craft and takes patience but leads to more creative output in my opinion. Expediency brought by technology isn’t always progressive.

From what I understand, Noel did this more often, and evidently 'lifting' lol, lines, notes, even lyrics (whatever he really liked &/or felt HIS song(s) needed) sometimes 'wholesale', when he was younger & just getting Oasis going... Still he's a great musician, song-writer, & artist, & at the end of the day, you gotta - no, not roll with it, lol (but that too, if ya like)- give it to him that he totally MASTERED his art!!...

Noel’s right. It’s all about the numbers. Interestingly, it’s more about appearance than the songs these days, even playing them in the studio is generally not yet to chances. Finally they do sing songs that are assigned to them and almost everything is fixed in silico.

Oh for sure, songwriting is fast becoming a dead industry. The rise of the internet basically, and ironically killed music as a marketable art form. It’s corporate through and through.

I think for most great songwriters it all comes quite naturally to them, they’re not trying to write a great song if that makes any sense, they’re just doing what they think sounds good. That seems to be why they can’t really explain how to do it.

If you think about how the beginning of, "Going Nowhere" is just a lift from, "This Guy's In Love With You" by Burt Bacharach. It's not a mystery. It's not, "stealing" but it's like, "getting at tune in your head that you're a fan of and using it as a take off." I don't think Noel is really a proper songwriter but more like a massive music fan that figured out a genius kind of angle.

As opposed to what? Please give comparable tunes. The thing about music is that it affects different people in different way, and they relate to to for personal reason that other don’t, so I suppose nobody is actually right or wrong. Eg I’ve never listened to country music but Americans that have and do, think it’s the only music in town, but it’s alien to me . and you can say that about any music genre.
