Noel Gallagher's new project Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds will be releasing its self-titled debut on November 8th. Gallagher enlisted several longtime friends to round out the High Flying Birds, and he found the process to be more creatively fulfilling than the production of past Oasis records. "I was sick to death of writing out lyrics for other people. It was a very serene, peaceful process of recording," he explained to Rolling Stone earlier this summer.

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds is a personal record for Gallagher. "I just write these songs because they're real to me and they're coming from a place of truth. And that's it. I don't give a shit about behind different. I want to be the same. And that in itself makes me different," he previously told Rolling Stone.

Song Stories

“Everyday People”

Sly and the Family Stone | 1968

"Everyday People" managed to trailblaze in two different ways -- it was one of the first pop hits to deal with the subject of racial harmony, and it utilized Larry Graham's "slap" technique on the bass guitar, which would soon be copied by countless other bassists. Graham once said about his pulsating style, "I'd never done that before … that's where the freedom of creativity came in for the band, that we'd be allowed to do that." In 1978, the song's line "Different strokes for different folks" would be borrowed for the title of the hit television show Diff'rent Strokes.
