'The Dreams We Have As Children' is a collection of songs recorded by Noel at the London Royal Albert Hall on March 27, 2007, along with fellow Oasis member Gem Archer. The album's title stems from a lyric in the Oasis song, "Fade Away". The album also features Paul Weller on "All You Need Is Love" and "The Butterfly Collector".
Five of the songs were released over the course of 5 days as free downloads on iTunes, followed by a physical CD give-away with The Sunday Times, which contained an additional 11 recordings from the performance. The album then went on sale digitally in its entirety the following day.
The album was compiled and released in order to raise the profile of Teenage Cancer Trust gigs being held at the Royal Albert Hall in March 2009.
After a high-profile bust-up with his brother Liam in Oasis, Noel quit the band 2009 to pursue solo interests.
For months, Noel remained silent on his plans for his post-Oasis. Finally, on the 6th of July 2011, Noel held a press conference to reveal plans for solo releases, with his new band Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. Recorded in 2010 and 2011 and co-produced by David Sardy, their first album, titled Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, was released in 2011. In 2015, Chasing Yesterday was their second album. Their third album Who Built the Moon? was released in 2017. All three albums went to No. 1 in the UK Albums Chart. In 2023, the fourth album Council Skies was released and peaked at No. 2 in the UK.
Everybody's On The Run
Noel Gallagher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all is the same, the pouring rain
You know, you know.
It's coming out of the ceiling,
Falling from above,
Falling in and out of love.
A broken heart is still beating,
In and out of time,
You know, you know.
But you can't stop the bleeding,
Sing to yourself and hold on.
'Cause everybody's on the run, everybody's on the run
Hang in there love,
You gotta hold on.
Hang in there love,
You gotta hold on.
'Cause everybody's on the run, everybody's on the run
Everybody's on the run, everybody's on the run
You've been drifting and stealing,
Trying to walk in my shoes,
But they don't belong to you..
You know, you know, you know they don't.
But you can't find the meaning,
Sing to yourself and hold on.
'Cause everybody's on the run, everybody's on the run
Hang in there love,
You gotta hold on.
Hang in there love,
You gotta hold on.
'Cause everybody's on the run
Hang in there love,
You gotta hold on.
Hang in there love,
You gotta hold on.
'Cause everybody's on the run, everybody's on the run
Everybody's on the run, everybody's on the run
Hang in there love,
You gotta hold on.
You gotta be strong enough for love
You know, you know.
Hang in there love,
You gotta hold on.
You gotta be strong enough for love
You know, you know.
Hang in there love,
You gotta hold on.
You gotta be strong enough for love
You know, you know.
Hang in there love,
You gotta hold on.
'Cause everybody's on the run, everybody's on the run
Everybody's on the run, everybody's on the run
The lyrics of "Everybody's On The Run" by Noel Gallagher´s High Flying Birds is about feeling powerless when it comes to love. The lyricist suggests that we can't fight the feeling of love, it comes and goes just like the pouring rain. The metaphor of rain being water that comes out of the ceiling, and the fact that it falls in and out of love, creates a beautiful image of how love can be unpredictable and unstable. Even if someone has experienced heartbreak, their broken heart is still beating, but it falls in and out of time. The lyrics suggest holding on to someone during difficult moments. However, despite our efforts to stop the bleeding, everybody's on the run, seemingly referring to the idea that love is constantly moving and changing.
The chorus of "Hang in there love, you gotta hold on" explains that love can be difficult, but if we hold on, we can weather the storm. The singer talks about how we've all been drifting and stealing, referencing the idea that people tend to imitate others when it comes to love, but they don't belong together. The lyrics suggest trying to find meaning in love but when we can´t find it, we should continue singing to ourselves and hold on. The overall message is that we all have to maintain our strength and persevere in love because everybody´s on the run and it can be tough to keep up.
