"Just You And Me In Paris! "

"Just you and me in Paris! "

Noel and Liam Gallagher are each other. Same hair, same scowl, same swagger, same security guards: brothers. In matching Kangol parkas.

"I swear I didn't know he was going to wear his," says Noel, fingering his designer logo. "Do you think I'd have turned up wearing the same clobber as that c*** on purpose?"

(...)

Liam swivels round looking for his security guard. "Get us a couple of beers, mate. I'm going to hit f***ing Paris tonight! I've been in for three days and nights doing f*** all, just watching Neighbours twice a day. I'm getting a thing for Helen f***ing Daniels and it's not healthy! I am gasping for a proper night out. It's going to be top!" Noel momentarily brightens. It's not been a great morning but the future smells sweeter.

"Yeah," he says, nudging his brother, "just you and me in Paris! We're going to have a right party! Patsy and Meg will be panicking, ringing the hotel rooms, wondering where we are and we won't be there. We'll be out!"

"Yeah," agrees Liam decisively, "we'll be right out!"

So, yeah, Liam is mad for many things, but chat?

"No, I'm mad for that."

And he is, he's mad for chat. Mad for it right up until he sits down in the brightly lit make-up room and gets himself involved in the question-and-answer thing. He's polite and accommodating, he'll answer any question asked. But if he can answer it in one word, then he will. See, he's also pretty mad for getting out of here and going to Paris. Contrivance isn't really his bag.

(...)

Another cough from outside and Noel winks. "That's my signal. I'll have to get off or I'll miss me train to Paris, and I don't want to do that, I'm looking forward to our night out too much."

So you're telling me that when Noel sang the forbidden song Lock all the doors in March 2024 and Liam in June 2024 (for the 1st time live?) they were talking ? ..........ok.............

no further comments

The way I interpret it is that there's a double meaning, (it's subjective so i'm just adding to that, not saying I'm right) But it seemed to me Noel sometimes refers to music/inspiration/smth compelling as "she" like in Pretty Boy and other songs from older albums. And I thought "I love you more than love" is the key phrase here because he chose him/music/freedom over love.

But before the song ends "told him that I loved you more" sounds like it refers to a person right. So my guess was, it encompasses that Noel told Liam he loved Sara more than him (also said this in interviews, I love Liam yes but not the way I love Sara and the kids, and it sounded carefully crafted because why would you need to stress you love your brother differently than your wife and kids) but in reality, he meant music/freedom and whatever else he puts under this umbrella.

Or it could also be a direct reference to Noel leaving Oasis/Liam, since he (thought?) he liked his music more than Love (if the devil asked me to choose between music and my mother wife or even liam quote) he abandoned Liam at that time to pursue his own things and broke his heart. (And it’s interesting because usually Noel focuses on how his own heart was broken)

Could you possibly pls do a there she blows song analysis ? I love this song but the lyrics confuse me sm

I mean all music is up to interpretation that's why it's so enjoyable the way I see it is that the song is a comparison of the love noel had between liam and sara, and how he's choosing sara over liam. It's a song about being out at sea and ships and how they signify vessels of, or for, love

the commander of the ship (liam) has died of a broken heart because the singer told him that he loved someone more than him, self explanatory:

but what's interesting is that the singer loves this unnamed "you" more than love which maybe points towards obsession or an ideal (noel talks about running away with this "you" a lot in his songs, and they tend to have religious undertones where this person acts as an angelic force saving him from his old life) so the ideal "you" can be the idea of freedom. here's some of those religious undertones just a few lines later:

and if you've listened to enough interviews you'll know that noel saw sara as this angelic figure, describing her as someone who appeared out of smoke from a nightclub and saved him. the verses repeat a few times before ending with "told him that i loved you more / loved you more than love"

so, its all very interesting to me ...

Noel’s deep rooted need to own control and dominate Liam.

"Liam's like a dog and I'm like a cat. Cats are very independent creatures. They don't give a fuck, right bastards. Dogs are fucking... "Play with me, play with me, please, fucking throw that ball for me", because they fucking need some company. It's as basic as that. Can't change the way that you are."
