Never seen or heard a version of ‘listen up’ that I don’t like. Possibly my favourite Oasis tune. Other fans will probably disagree, but I don’t mind being on my own!
"I don't believe in magic Life is automatic" I got tattooed on my arm. My opinion the best song of Oasis. The tune, lyrics, the voice of Liam and Noel is fantastic
That guitar riff repeatedly played & the bass line is just work brilliantly. I've played bass for 40 years.. the bassist on this has so much control.. I couldn't help walking around the frets if it was me playing.. great bass work on this .. can't fault the guy
I loved the original recording with leam on vocals!! But I love this version even more! In my opinion Noel Galagher is probably the most Talented musician/singer/song writer to have emerged from the 1990s !
I think I was virtually alone when I heard this song live for the first time on youtube at the Cabernet or wherever, it was in the early 2000's. The lyrics passed right through the blood brain barrier and it's been ingrained ever since. I think in those feelings of isolation I discovered strength and realized I was perfectly fine on my own! Didn't need abusers and would rather have 1 friend or zero friends than A-holes. "get on the bus, cause no fuss, I"m free!" (not the same song but the message is there in so many of his songs). Love this tune, it will always be one of my favorites by him and its one of those songs that cannot be duplicated in a studio, it's straight from the soul and meant to be performed just how it is.
Noel is a true genius of music, but we have to admit that Gem is very, very good and brought many things to Oasis, and is a perfect complement for Noel.
Marcus Rogers Nah his best version was the one he did with Gem when he was still in oasis (the semi acoustic session). Guitar playing was better, better groove.
Always thought of the Oasis original as one of their best. So raw and encapsulated Oasis at their very best. Love this though. Wish they would get back together. The world needs Oasis back doing what they do. Cmon guys .
Hearing this song always tears me up because is like traveling back in time 10 or 13 years when I was a 6 year old kid seeing myself with the innocence that I've lost
Listen up, what's the time? Said today, I'm gonna speak my mind Take me up to the top of the world I wanna see my crime Day by day there's a man in a suit Who's gonna make you pay For the thoughts that you think and the words They won't let you say One fine day Gonna leave you all behind It wouldn't be so bad If I had more time Sailin' down a river alone I've been trying to find my way back home But I don't believe in magic Life is automatic But I don't mind being on my own No, I don't mind being on my own Listen up, what's the time?

It’s funny cause I actually disagree with you. I think Noel sings this song way better than Liam and Noels live versions of the song are way better than the studio version. But Liam still sounds good.
Brilliant song and perfectly written 👌 I appreciate these songs now more than I did back in the day...more mature maybe and can relate to situations 😊🎸💜
I often feel like Noel makes a concerted effort to sing his songs the opposite way Liam did. I personally don't have a problem with that. It's like a totally different song in the best way possible
Oh how I live this song 🙏🏻 one of my favorites. Such a beautiful version this one and how about the guitar solo. Noel just had to have a little wink to Gem to top it off 😉
I think it makes him even more genius that he uses the exact same chords as wonderwall and it’s a completely different sounding song. True about a lot of Oasis’ songs. What a guy. What a tune.
As a player myself it's incredible to get so many songs using the same 3 to 3 chords. In different keys (using the capo) but many are in the SAME key and sound unique. That's a skill of simplicity in guitar playing that is actually hard to allow yourself to do these days. Just adding the backing rift of a triad pretty much changed the sound of listen up so much its amazing.
@@Eastsidechris Thanks a lot for your knowledge in your reply Chris. I play too and can appreciate a lot of what you're saying, but you're definitely ahead of me with some of your musical theory. Thank you for sharing
@@JasonC1704 I'm sure someone will come by and put me in my place too. It's just the level I understand it but in advanced theory like the sus2 and add9s he uses, there's reasons he uses them....bc they were easy open chords he was taught around town.. but now that he has the experience of playing lead live...I'm sure guitarists have told him just how brilliant the chord variation is and why and when tonuse them. The Beatles had good people in the srudio..studio. so did oasis after WTSMG

Favourite songwriter, singer and musician. Love your work Noel.
What a hidden little gem on youtube this is.
He’s quite big actually
@@Jimbo-qd5zz I meant this performance, but I like your reply! 😃
@@dw7090 simple man I love it lmfao

1996 unplugged MTV is a great version if you haven't seen
@@deec3960 yes, it’s awesome, often play it!
The biggest Oasis song that was never a single. Amazing!
I agree, this version is the best. My 15 year old daughter isn't really into music but whenever this comes on she smiles and dances
Spot on lad
"I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic" I got tattooed on my arm. My opinion the best song of Oasis. The tune, lyrics, the voice of Liam and Noel is fantastic
I know. This song and The Masterplan are probably my favourites. There’s just something about Noel’s writing that is out of this world.
Noel is fantastic
What do you think it means? Or it doesn't matter?
@@Ale-ml3pk Everything that needs to happen in life will happen. Good things or bad things. You can not change that . That's what it means to me
The bass in this version is unreal, Noel’s voice and the backing vocals, it’s just perfect.
i know it gets me rock hard. love this version
Singing these songs now he wrote as a young man gives them another quality. Like they've been lived in.
Beautiful comment, thank you for that kind stranger.
Just as wine
great comment !
Noel is also far better singer now than he used to be.
so true , i love that noel speaks to my soul.
Keep finding myself playing this particular version over & over again. 1st class.
An incredible tune. An incredible b side. An incredible songwriter and musician. That’s all.
That guitar riff repeatedly played & the bass line is just work brilliantly. I've played bass for 40 years.. the bassist on this has so much control.. I couldn't help walking around the frets if it was me playing.. great bass work on this .. can't fault the guy
It's the bass player from the Zutons, he's great.
Juniour seniour on extacy
Simplicity works best for some genres and songs, and as a musician it's hard not to overstep that and start putting in too much stuff, isn't it?
Same here!!!!
Russ Pritchard,, zutons,, great. Bassist
Cara, essa música me traz uma sensação de paz imediata e eu não consigo explicar
Melancholy and peace
2:28 this riff always tears me up, its like traveling back in time and seeing myself with all the innocence of a child.. Heartbreaking riff.
One of his best songs for sure 👌

Flawless. Enough said.
When he said "You have no idea what it is". I wish someone had shouted out "Listen Up"!!
Já ouvi um milhão de vezes só hj...linda!!
Vc tem toda razão, esse cara é um gênio
Você tem um ótimo gosto musical
Pop😘al
Mt boa msm
Se gosta de Oasis eu caso na hora. Viva o bom gosto musical.
Noels songs make you want to live!
This is possibly my favourite oasis tune. Noel is a legend.
Tem coisas que são impossíveis de dar dislike, e as canções de Noel estão entre elas.
VIDA LONGA NOEL
E VIVA A BOA MÚSICA 😎🎼🎻🎺🎹👨🎤🎶🎷🎧🎙️🥁📻💽🎵
I cry when hear this beautiful song remember a god time.
I loved the original recording with leam on vocals!! But I love this version even more! In my opinion Noel Galagher is probably the most Talented musician/singer/song writer to have emerged from the 1990s !
Kurt Cobain, Elliott Smith, Jeff Buckley, Thom Yorke. Noel is up there amongst them.
Richard Ashcroft
Tem como não amar as letras que o Noel faz! Fora que ele canta muito, lindo demais.❤️
Noel ! Don’t ever stop making Music 🎶 🎵 🎼 🎶 !!
this version is sublime
Happy birthday Noel.

This is why Noel is the king and always will be
Agreed. Such a beautiful rock n roll tune
It’s always great when, as an adult, you hear a song you loved back when you were a kid and you think “Yeah, I got this one right!”
Guitars on this are class
Gem Archer IS class
0:06 "You have no idea of what it is, do you?" LMAO
Bass guitarist is amazing!
Noel is a true genius of music, but we have to admit that Gem is very, very good and brought many things to Oasis, and is a perfect complement for Noel.
Gem improved Oasis and he improves The HFB’s. Brilliant guitarist.
Lol!
Fantastic version..........
Will always love you Noel no matter what happens.
Che meraviglia
Pure class.. best version of the song
Marcus Rogers Nah his best version was the one he did with Gem when he was still in oasis (the semi acoustic session). Guitar playing was better, better groove.
@@badgasaurus4211 is the version you mentioned on UA-cam? If so , what is the title i should search to find it? Cheers.👍

@@marcusrogers6917 i agree with you
noel, take a sad song and make it even more sad. that's why i love when he replaces liam on vocals
Listen Up is incredible acoustically, love it 🔥
Always thought of the Oasis original as one of their best. So raw and encapsulated Oasis at their very best. Love this though. Wish they would get back together. The world needs Oasis back doing what they do. Cmon guys .
Great music and guitar sounds like I newer hear before 👌👏🙏
Amazing version of this song outstanding 👌
Makes me feel like the lost young dreamer I was all over again. Amazing song
I can’t get enough of this version
Hearing this song always tears me up because is like traveling back in time 10 or 13 years when I was a 6 year old kid seeing myself with the innocence that I've lost
You lost your innocence at 19 ????
You kids 😅
las versiones con Noel son mágicas
Foda mesmo. Que coisa mais linda...
The way he signs the whole song is magical and especially when he sings, "But I don't mind being on my own...". Just hits right in the feels
Never mind Noel. Hats off to gem and russ
What a song!!!! Genius
Essa canção vai no fundo do meu coração
It's beautiful
When the bass kicks in at 0:20 is just phenomenal!
Some talent right there !! Special
Anything special??
This song has a feeling on its own, a bittersweet feeling that I just love. One of the best melodies Noel has ever written, for sure.
Listen up, what's the time?
Said today, I'm gonna speak my mind
Take me up to the top of the world
I wanna see my crime
Day by day there's a man in a suit
Who's gonna make you pay
For the thoughts that you think and the words
They won't let you say
One fine day
Gonna leave you all behind
It wouldn't be so bad
If I had more time
Sailin' down a river alone
I've been trying to find my way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic
But I don't mind being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own

legend
A masterpiece. Great times such good vibes need to get back to that
Fell out of love with Oasis, thought they were puerile but now in my 40th year, just realised what legends they are
If u fell out of love stay out. Obviously not a real fan. As u fuckin were son...
Pure bliss 💚💚💚 the Masai 🙌🏻🙌🏻
The version with Liam on the vocals has no rivals,but this is sweet as well
It’s funny cause I actually disagree with you. I think Noel sings this song way better than Liam and Noels live versions of the song are way better than the studio version. But Liam still sounds good.
I think Noel's version from the Dreams We Have As Children concert in 2007 is the best version of Listen Up.
@@tashrif46 Absolutely. My favourite performance of Wonderwall as well.
What a fucking tune. One of the best versions I have heard of this song.
Best description ever 😊
Brilliant song and perfectly written 👌 I appreciate these songs now more than I did back in the day...more mature maybe and can relate to situations 😊🎸💜
Russ is class on bass...brilliant
show d mais meu deus...obrigado irmão
Insuperable....Masterpiece....Biblical
Always loved this tune 😃
this one for genuine fans..
holy moley where did 1993 go? we who were once young,..
I love you Noel you’re the best artist ever born on planet earth ❤️ for me
I often feel like Noel makes a concerted effort to sing his songs the opposite way Liam did. I personally don't have a problem with that. It's like a totally different song in the best way possible
This is how Noel would have written the song......both version are epic but the Liam version with the guitar solo is fantastic
In a daydream this is me acting in a movie to this soundtrack. Sad scene of course.. Only discovered this recently but my god its good.
Brilliant version of this tune should been on one of the albums
Who Knew 22 - Masterplan
Noel Gallagher is a 21st century masterpiece
I love both of 'em!

Noel Gallagher and a guitar and a mic . . . class.

Superb, beautiful!
This song is a masterpiece
Muito bom ver o Gem tocando com o Noel
My favourite Oasis song. Really wish it was on Definitely Maybe. Didn’t notice it was Gem on the guitar at first lol
Best version ever!!
Currently obsessed with this
Thanks for the upload. That version is tragic
Wow … an absolute favourite but this is a whole new level of
Arise sir Noel

Oh how I live this song 🙏🏻 one of my favorites. Such a beautiful version this one and how about the guitar solo. Noel just had to have a little wink to Gem to top it off 😉
This version hits a chord of emotion im living in New York away from my wife an kids an this is my go to song to make it alright ❤
This song comes from an entire other galaxy
Esa transición del solo de vuelta al coro 🌀🌀🌀🌀🌀 que locura ❤️
Great work uploading just this 👍
That’s a fucking masterpiece
SIMPLEMENTE NOEL GALLAGHER 👏🏽
Rocking chair, listen up, hope i think i know. Thee best oasis songs with no doubt
I believe in magic. Noel made it automatic.
como eu n achei isso antes????, mt bom
