Live Forever by Noel Gallagher
“A modern classic, written by Noel, in 1991, before he joined the band. It's said to be about his mother and inspired by The Rolling Stones' "Shine a Light". Later in an interview he said: "It was written in the middle of grunge and all that, and I remember Nirvana had a tune called 'I Hate Myself and Want to Die', and I was like . . . 'Well, I'm not fucking having that.' As much as I fucking like him [Kurt Cobain] and all that shit, I'm not having that." Clip is from the late show 1996.”

Great songs always still sound great (or better) stripped back to just an acoustic guitar, here is Noel singing one of his best.

How it really was intended to be performed.
