“Some might say they don’t believe in heaven, go and tell it to the man who lives in hell.” – ‘Some Might Say’
Again, from the brilliant ‘Some Might Say,’ this lyric presents a state of mind everyone should aspire to have. A deep empathy for someone else, whoever it may be, is presented here, warning us that everything is subjective. For someone to dismiss an idea as a whole because it has no meaning in their life is quite ignorant. Noel begs us to understand the life and heartbreak of someone else, urging us to appreciate what gives hope to another person. To say this that was written after the huge success of Definitely, Maybe, when the Gallaghers could easily have lived in idle fame, is admirable – Noel had not lost his compassion, and the passionate way Liam sings it only hints that he hadn’t either.
