'All my people right here, right now. D'you know what I mean?'
Noel Gallagher, is a genius. Apart from cracking out tune after tune, he doesn't bullshit about some meaning it might have. He just writes, but boy can he write. He's also an interviewer's dream.
He had this to say about 'D'You Know What I Mean?'
"I was going to make up some profound statement in the chorus but I couldn't come up with anything that fitted. then I just thought "All my people right here, right now. D'You Know What I Mean? Yeah, Yeah" Very vague, very ambiguous, that'll do. Look in the mirror and wink while you're singing it and it's quite saucy. And I fuckiing love that line, 'Coming in a mess, going out in style'. We were a bunch of scruffs from Manchester and we're going out in a Rolls Royce."
And something vaguely serious:
"The morse code in the background was inspired by Strawberry Fields. We got hold of a code book and tried to tap out 'Bugger All' to follow that line 'Don't look back cos you know what you might see'. But if anyone can tell me what we really said, please let me know. Profound lagerisms..."
Anyway, other my introductory bit of gush about Noel, watch this:
