Noel: Happy birthday, Liam. Liam: Well, that was a first. Noel: I think you’ll find it’s the thirty-third.

him and the brother he told you not to worry about

“I didn’t know what had been going on between them. It could have been some small comment that sparked things off. Liam spent the evening in the bar with endless vodka and oranges. The MTV awards were being held that evening and there were loads of people arriving — a distraction we didn’t need. We arranged to meet at Noel’s room and when Liam didn’t show up, my heart sank. He’d gone back to the bar straight after breakfast. Yvonne McConaghy, who was assisting me, went to try and coax him out but he flatly refused to go anywhere near Noel’s room. He said he’d do the photo session as long as it wasn’t in Noel’s room, so we got in the bus and he took his drink with him. We stopped off at this bridge and the first thing Liam did was hurl his glass at the side of the bridge. Noel was furious, but I took him aside and said ‘Look, it doesn’t matter. As long as you stand there, I’ll catch him in the frame.’

But Noel was so pissed off, and you can see it in these photos. He is literally gritting his teeth. The body language is incredible. It was awful. You can almost hear the air crackle.”

Noel was also reportedly complaining furiously about French people on bicycles and then had returned to pose, which are these photos.

Lyric Analysis #2 - Lock All The Doors (version 1)

Hi there! It’s been a long time, huh? Anyway: welcome to the new post of Gallaghercest: a lyric analysis of Lock All The Doors — the first one. Because Noel had the boldness of not being satisfied with just one version, so he did three.

Today I’ll do a lyric analysis, and this time I’ll do it in the way I normally do: I’ll go paragraph by paragraph, line by line, and it will be an analysis focused on the meaning of the lyrics. I made this analysis originally in a conversation with María, and I’m going to show it to you now, guys, and I hope you enjoy it!

Disclaimer: this is a theory made by myself, based in conversations I had with my friends and months of analysis, suffering, nights of insomnia and tears. Don’t know if everything is veridical, but at least, it’s a way that I found to “light” up our way and try to find some proper fucking answers to this stuff.
