What I Am Listening To

It was little over a year ago that I started listening to this album, and it still is in my rotating playlist. Who Built The Moon? is the third album from Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, the band fronted by the former Oasis lead guitarist and songwriter. The album shows all of Gallagher’s talents, with beautifully crafted songs such as She Taught Me How To Fly and powerhouse tracks like Holy Mountain. The real gift on this album however comes with the bonus track Dead In The Water. In keeping with typical Gallagher songwriting legend, he wrote this song in two hours and recorded it live during a radio session in Ireland. This is the version included on the album, a masterpiece of writing and performing recorded as an afterthought which exemplifies Gallagher’s gift, which he thankfully continues to share with us.
