"I don't believe in magic Life is automatic" I got tattooed on my arm. My opinion the best song of Oasis. The tune, lyrics, the voice of Liam and Noel is fantastic

What a hidden little gem on youtube this is.

Never seen or heard a version of ‘listen up’ that I don’t like. Possibly my favourite Oasis tune. Other fans will probably disagree, but I don’t mind being on my own!

The bass in this version is unreal, Noel’s voice and the backing vocals, it’s just perfect.

Singing these songs now he wrote as a young man gives them another quality. Like they've been lived in.

2:28 this riff always tears me up, its like traveling back in time and seeing myself with all the innocence of a child.. Heartbreaking riff.

Favourite songwriter, singer and musician. Love your work Noel.

An incredible tune. An incredible b side. An incredible songwriter and musician. That’s all.

That guitar riff repeatedly played & the bass line is just work brilliantly. I've played bass for 40 years.. the bassist on this has so much control.. I couldn't help walking around the frets if it was me playing.. great bass work on this .. can't fault the guy

When he said "You have no idea what it is". I wish someone had shouted out "Listen Up"!!

Keep finding myself playing this particular version over & over again. 1st class.

noel, take a sad song and make it even more sad. that's why i love when he replaces liam on vocals

One of the most stunning sings ever written

It’s always great when, as an adult, you hear a song you loved back when you were a kid and you think “Yeah, I got this one right!”

This is possibly my favourite oasis tune. Noel is a legend.

Cara, essa música me traz uma sensação de paz imediata e eu não consigo explicar

Tem coisas que são impossíveis de dar dislike, e as canções de Noel estão entre elas. VIDA LONGA NOEL E VIVA A BOA MÚSICA 😎🎼🎻🎺🎹👨‍🎤🎶🎷🎧🎙️🥁📻💽🎵

0:06 "You have no idea of what it is, do you?" LMAO

Flawless. Enough said.

I think I was virtually alone when I heard this song live for the first time on youtube at the Cabernet or wherever, it was in the early 2000's. The lyrics passed right through the blood brain barrier and it's been ingrained ever since. I think in those feelings of isolation I discovered strength and realized I was perfectly fine on my own! Didn't need abusers and would rather have 1 friend or zero friends than A-holes. "get on the bus, cause no fuss, I"m free!" (not the same song but the message is there in so many of his songs). Love this tune, it will always be one of my favorites by him and its one of those songs that cannot be duplicated in a studio, it's straight from the soul and meant to be performed just how it is.

Já ouvi um milhão de vezes só hj...linda!!

Noel is a true genius of music, but we have to admit that Gem is very, very good and brought many things to Oasis, and is a perfect complement for Noel.

Tem como não amar as letras que o Noel faz! Fora que ele canta muito, lindo demais.❤️

I loved the original recording with leam on vocals!! But I love this version even more! In my opinion Noel Galagher is probably the most Talented musician/singer/song writer to have emerged from the 1990s !

Always thought of the Oasis original as one of their best. So raw and encapsulated Oasis at their very best. Love this though. Wish they would get back together. The world needs Oasis back doing what they do. Cmon guys .

I cry when hear this beautiful song remember a god time.

Bass guitarist is amazing!

This is why Noel is the king and always will be

Noels songs make you want to live!

this version is sublime

Guitars on this are class

Hearing this song always tears me up because is like traveling back in time 10 or 13 years when I was a 6 year old kid seeing myself with the innocence that I've lost

I often feel like Noel makes a concerted effort to sing his songs the opposite way Liam did. I personally don't have a problem with that. It's like a totally different song in the best way possible

Noel ! Don’t ever stop making Music 🎶 🎵 🎼 🎶 !!

Happy birthday Noel.

The version with Liam on the vocals has no rivals,but this is sweet as well

The way he signs the whole song is magical and especially when he sings, "But I don't mind being on my own...". Just hits right in the feels

Will always love you Noel no matter what happens.

Listen up, what's the time? Said today, I'm gonna speak my mind Take me up to the top of the world I wanna see my crime Day by day there's a man in a suit Who's gonna make you pay For the thoughts that you think and the words They won't let you say One fine day Gonna leave you all behind It wouldn't be so bad If I had more time Sailin' down a river alone I've been trying to find my way back home But I don't believe in magic Life is automatic But I don't mind being on my own No, I don't mind being on my own Listen up, what's the time? Said today, I'm gonna speak my mind Take me up to the top of the world I wanna see my crime Day by day there's a man in a suit Who's gonna make you pay For the thoughts that you think and the words They won't let you say One fine day Gonna leave you all behind It wouldn't be so bad If I had more time Sailin' down a river alone I've been trying to find my way back home But I don't believe in magic Life is automatic But I don't mind being on my own No, I don't mind being on my own No, I don't mind being on my own I said, that I don't mind being on my own Sailin' down a river alone I've been trying to find my way back home But I don't believe in magic Life is automatic But I don't mind being on my own I said, that I don't mind being on my own No, I don't mind being on my own I said, that I don't mind being on my own No, I don't mind being on my own I said, that I don't mind being on my own

Never mind Noel. Hats off to gem and russ

Fell out of love with Oasis, thought they were puerile but now in my 40th year, just realised what legends they are

Pure class.. best version of the song

Amazing version of this song outstanding 👌

Fantastic version..........

When the bass kicks in at 0:20 is just phenomenal!

las versiones con Noel son mágicas

Listen Up is incredible acoustically, love it 🔥

Makes me feel like the lost young dreamer I was all over again. Amazing song

What a fucking tune. One of the best versions I have heard of this song.

This song has a feeling on its own, a bittersweet feeling that I just love. One of the best melodies Noel has ever written, for sure.

Great music and guitar sounds like I newer hear before 👌👏🙏

I can’t get enough of this version

In a daydream this is me acting in a movie to this soundtrack. Sad scene of course.. Only discovered this recently but my god its good.

My favourite Oasis song. Really wish it was on Definitely Maybe. Didn’t notice it was Gem on the guitar at first lol

Russ is class on bass...brilliant

Foda mesmo. Que coisa mais linda...

Noel Gallagher is a 21st century masterpiece

Che meraviglia

I think it makes him even more genius that he uses the exact same chords as wonderwall and it’s a completely different sounding song. True about a lot of Oasis’ songs. What a guy. What a tune.

It's beautiful

holy moley where did 1993 go? we who were once young,..

A masterpiece. Great times such good vibes need to get back to that

I love you Noel you’re the best artist ever born on planet earth ❤️ for me

What a song!!!! Genius

Pure bliss 💚💚💚 the Masai 🙌🏻🙌🏻

show d mais meu deus...obrigado irmão

Essa canção vai no fundo do meu coração

Insuperable....Masterpiece....Biblical

Muito bom ver o Gem tocando com o Noel

This song comes from an entire other galaxy

Brilliant song and perfectly written 👌 I appreciate these songs now more than I did back in the day...more mature maybe and can relate to situations 😊🎸💜

Noel Gallagher and a guitar and a mic . . . class.

I believe in magic. Noel made it automatic.

Always loved this tune 😃

Perfeito!

Apparently Noel was ill during this performance but this and slide away are up there with some of his and their best live performances

SIMPLEMENTE NOEL GALLAGHER 👏🏽

Brilliant version of this tune should been on one of the albums

Bless you Noel Gallagher ✌🏼💙

Where he says to the crowd "you don't know what it is yet" marks the difference between him and his brother

What a Tune! Great version!

Best version ever!!

Thanks for the upload. That version is tragic

Superb, beautiful!

This version hits a chord of emotion im living in New York away from my wife an kids an this is my go to song to make it alright ❤

That’s a fucking masterpiece

Wow … an absolute favourite but this is a whole new level of Arise sir Noel

Gem’s tone is lovely

I love both of 'em! The Goat Rockstars!

Gem Archer is solid on this

Simplemente genial

This song is a masterpiece

Truly Stunning.

Great work uploading just this 👍

Esa transición del solo de vuelta al coro 🌀🌀🌀🌀🌀 que locura ❤️

Não curto oasis, mas essa música é pika.

Oh how I live this song 🙏🏻 one of my favorites. Such a beautiful version this one and how about the guitar solo. Noel just had to have a little wink to Gem to top it off 😉

como eu n achei isso antes????, mt bom

Currently obsessed with this

Thanks Noel, this is my anthem, you're a genius
