Speaking of the album, Noel Gallagher says:
Ā āItās going back to the beginning. Daydreaming, looking up at the sky and wondering about what life could beā¦ thatās as true to me now as it was in the early ā90s. When I was growing up in poverty and unemployment, music took me out of that,āĀ he says.Ā āTop of the Pops on TV transformed your Thursday night into this fantasy world, and thatās what I think music should be. I want my music to be elevating and transforming in some way.ā
