“Music is magic. You know this already. You’ve known this from the first time a record sent a divine shiver down your spine or a band changed the way you dressed forever. How does something that’s just noises arranged in sequence do that? No one knows. It’s just magic. Everyone knows that.

Sample lyrics:
“I’m all over my hearts desire / I feel cold but I’m back in the fire”
“Love is a time machine / Upon a silver screen”

Quote from Noel Gallagher re. ‘Shock Of The Lightning’:
“If The Shock of the Lightning sounds instant and compelling to you, it’s because it was written dead fast. And recorded dead fast. The Shock of the Lightning basically is the demo. And it has retained its energy. And there’s a lot to be said for that, I think. The first time you record something is always the best”

Translates to:
“If the lyrics to The Shock of the Lightning sound really really shit, it’s because like all my lyrics, they were written dead fast. And because we were too busy knocking about with supermodels and stuff, we ended up recording it dead fast. The Shock of the Lightning basically is the demo because we ended up thinking ‘fuck it, that’ll do’. And there’s a lot to be said for that, I think. We’ve lived by that rule for fourteen years now and people are still buying into it.”

Needless to say, the song is a bag of wank. But hey! There are still some Oasis fans out there who think they are relevant, so enjoy the track below. You’ll probably fucking love it!
