"Who Feels Love?" is a song by British rock band Oasis, written by the band's lead guitarist Noel Gallagher. It became the second single to be released from the album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, peaking at number 4 in the UK charts when released on 17th of April 2000.
The album was noted for its psychedelic feel, and "Who Feels Love?" was held up as the most extreme example of this. Mark Stent was praised for his production on the song, creating a "trippy" feel like that found on Beatles songs such as "Rain". With the psychedelic and Eastern sound, the song also reminds of George Harrison achievements like "Within You Without You" and also some of his solo work.
However, despite the high-quality production, the song was not well received by the critics, NME said that the production "triumphs over any real sort of feeling... pure mock Maharishi spirituality that not even Liam can salvage from the realm of self-parody".
One of the B-sides is a cover of The Beatles' "Helter Skelter". It was played live during the Shoulders tour of 2000. Paul Weller recorded a version of b-side "One Way Road" for his covers-album Studio 150 in 2004. The Weller version was subsequently used as the theme tune to Jack Dee's sitcom Lead Balloon.

Liam Gallagher
Noel Gallagher
Oasis
He spent two decades as the main creative force behind the most successful U.K. rock act of his generation, writing such modern pop classics as "Wonderwall" and "Champagne Supernova" while ceding the spotlight in concert to Liam Gallagher, his younger, more front-man-ish brother.
But ask Noel Gallagher if he felt any pressure to top what he'd done in Oasis when launching his own band, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, and the pride he was always so quick to express when it came to Oasis would appear to be unshaken by the breakup.
"Well, no," he replies, a bit taken aback. "You could never do that anyway, which is one of the reasons why I didn't start another band. Once you've been in a band like Oasis, what's the point of being in another band? You could never really achieve a millionth of the success Oasis had, d'ya know what I mean? Particularly in England. It would be virtually impossible. Well, it would be impossible."
Hearing him say things as cocky as "Once you've been in a band like Oasis, what's the point of being in another band?," you can't help wondering if his reputation for unbridled arrogance is based, in part, on how those words are destined to appear in print. In conversation, it's hard to miss that he's often just playing the role of the blustering rock star for a laugh. That doesn't mean he isn't confident or proud of what he's done. Or even arrogant. But there's a playful charm that doesn't always translate. And speaking of translate, there are certain things that lose all sense of being said by Gallagher if you attempt to change the way he says it. It's "innit," not "isn't it," d'ya know what I mean?
He quit Oasis in the summer of 2009, the same day they canceled a festival gig near Paris, posting a statement on their website within hours of the cancellation. "With some sadness and great relief," he wrote, "I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer."
It was two years later when "The Death of You and Me," a bittersweet ballad with obvious echos of the Kinks' best work, arrived. His first single with High Flying Birds, it went Top 20 on the U.K. pop charts, followed in October by a self-titled full-length debut that topped the U.K. charts on its way to going double platinum.
Asked how he feels the new album compares to, for example, "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?," the 1995 Oasis masterpiece that won a special Brit Award in 2010 for the best British album of the last 30 years, he chooses not to take a side.
"Well, that's all open to conjecture, innit?" Gallagher responds. "There will be some people who will say it's the best album I've made. There's some people that say Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds are better than Oasis. Who's to say? I can't, can I? I'm too close to both of them. But this is now. Oasis was then. And I don't even know what's gonna happen in the future. I might get to the end of this tour and be (expletive) bored of being solo. I might join another band or start a supergroup or just (expletive) sit at home and smoke some cigarettes."
It seems worth pointing out that there's a second solo album he's already started in collaboration with the Future Sound of London, using their alias of Amorphous Androgynous.
"Well, yes, it's recorded," Gallagher replies. "But it's not mixed. And whether it'll ever see the light of day or not, I don't know. There's a lot of work left to be done. A lot of work. I just did my bits in the studio and left it up to the Amorphous Androgynous to artistically direct it. And unfortunately for everybody, they've not finished it."
In the meantime, he's touring the self-titled album, whose sound is sure to speak to anyone who ever cared about Oasis. Asked if he would call it a continuation of the music he was making with Oasis, he'd prefer to sit that judgment out as well.
"I'm just kind of writing songs for a living," he says. "I don't make calculated moves, like 'This is gonna be a continuation of Oasis' or 'It's gonna be completely different' or 'I'm gonna do some jazz' or 'I really want to explore this reggae kind of thing.' I write songs, I record them and I put them out."
But having put them out, does he see that they sound a bit like what one might expect Noel Gallagher to write at this point?
"I know what you mean," he responds with laugh. "(Expletive) brilliant."
One major difference between the new album and Oasis is the number of guitarists. He's the only one on the High Flying Birds album, allowing for more space in the recording. It's different live, though, with touring guitarist David McConnell fleshing out the sound.
"People are not coming to your shows to listen to the record," Gallagher explains. "They might as well put headphones on and watch you mime it if that's what they want. The record is 1,000 takes and 1,000 edits over a three-month period. We try to nail it every night but I personally have never subscribed to the fact that we have to make it sound like the record. Some some of the songs sound a lot better live. They've got a lot more energy. There's more guitars and it's a bit more electric, a bit more 'Wow' and in-your face."
As to his new position as a front man, the guitarist says, "I'm comfortable enough that I don't get nervous. I don't walk out there with any trepidation. But I don't think I'll ever feel fully at home. I mean, I was 20 years as a backing vocalist and lead guitarist. I'm not gonna suddenly shed that skin in eight months. But I don't feel inhibited. I'm not Mick Jagger, put it that way. But I can engage an audience. I'm lucky in the sense that what I'm really good at is being me. There's nobody better in the world at being me. I'm very confident in that (expletive) fact. So if you come to see me, you're coming to see an expert."
Gallagher is not the type to take his duties as a front man lightly.
"I don't want somebody walking on stage who looks like he'd rather be somewhere else," he says. "This is rock and roll, baby. This is for heroes and rock stars, not the (expletive) guy next door."
Of course, part of what makes him a rock star is the fact that he wrote all those songs for Oasis. And he's not about to put them out to pasture just because he couldn't bear to go on working with his brother.
"Why would I throw away 20 years of music to start again?" he asks. "They're my songs. I don't give a (expletive) what people say. What, would you rather go see Paul McCartney and have him not play anything by the Beatles because the (expletive) Beatles aren't together anymore? Please. Come on. (Expletive) grow up. D'ya know what I mean? I've always looked at the live thing like this. As long as I get to play what I want to play, then I'll play what you want to hear. So out of 20 songs, I'm playing 13 or 14 new ones. And then, if you want to hear some Oasis songs, yeah, I'll play some."
As to whether he sees himself playing those songs with Oasis again, he declares it a moot point.
"If you're asking me now? I just don't see it," he says. "I close my eyes and I don't see it. And I listen to my heart and I don't want it. So there's no point in even talking about it."
Asked if he's spoken to Liam, who's formed his own band, Beady Eye, since the breakup, Gallagher says, "We texted over Christmas, stuff like that. Beady Eye are off being the best band in the world and I'm doing my thing and there we go. That's it. But it's not like we were together for a year and made one album, then split up and people are going, 'Oh man, I never got to see them.' We were together for 20 years. We made 10 (expletive) albums. If you didn't see us, tough (expletive)."
And yes, that last part sounded charming, too.

Noel Gallagher
The Stone Roses
There was a security nightmare for Noel G when Coachella staff kicked off over his Sleeping Pills.
The former Oasis star was stopped and searched three times on his way into the festival near Palm Springs, California, on Saturday.
And the jobsworth officials were unimpressed when they pulled a bag of 30 white and yellow pills from his backpack.
Noel explained: “We got body-searched coming in. It was like an airport.
“It is me, I suppose, so they might know the history.
“They pulled out my sleeping tablets and asked me to explain them.
“There were about 30 little yellow and white tablets.
“I said, ‘In all seriousness Chuck, or whatever your name is, do you not think these would at least be down my sock? They are sleeping tablets.
“ ‘What do you want me to do? Take one before I go on stage to prove what they are?’”
It wasn’t the only problem globetrotter Noel has encountered on his travels. He was rattled by an earthquake after playing a gig in Mexico last week.
I bumped into the High Flying Birds at Coachella, not far from earthquake central — the San Andreas Fault.
Speaking in his Winnebago backstage, he said: “We were involved in a proper earthquake the day before yesterday.
“I was doing an interview and they asked me if I would say ‘come to Mexico on holiday’ because they have all these problems with people getting their heads cut off by gangs and loads of crime.
“I was trying to wriggle out of it and the lamps they brought into the room started swaying.
“I had been out the night before and just brushed it off thinking it was a bit weird.
“You know... we had been enjoying ourselves a bit.
“The cameraman just stopped and said really calmly, ‘We better go, there is an earthquake’.
“It was like being on a ship. We had to do a runner. The buildings were swaying.
“It was 6.4 on the Richter scale.
“We were all over the place walking out to the car park.
“I was stood there thinking, ‘This is brilliant’, as the whole place wobbled about. The locals were really laid back about it, sparking up fags and talking. But it was pretty hairy.”
Noel also talked about Manchester City’s race for the title, The Stone Roses, how he copes with being away from his kids on tour — and his old pal the previous King of Tonga, RIP.

Noel Gallagher
Oasis
In 2002, Noel Gallagher and his former band, Oasis, headlined the Coachella Valley Arts and Music Festival. As Gallagher tells Rolling Stone in his backstage trailer on Saturday at this year's fest, things were wildly different back then – both in regards to the festival and his own musical situation. "It was very much just a gig in a field," Gallagher recalls of Coachella. "And people [outside America] were going, 'What? Who? They have festivals in America?'"
Gallagher was also in a dysfunctional band. "With Oasis, you didn't really know if the gig was going to take place until we went on," he says. "You would sit around and think, 'well somebody's gonna have a fucking problem sooner or later so are we actually gonna do it?'
But now, returning to Coachella a decade later, this time to perform with his own band, Noel Gallagher and The High-Flying Birds, the guitarist is completely at ease. “I'm strangely relaxed," he says.
Gallagher, who left Oasis in 2009 and released his solo debut last fall, has been busy touring. But Gallagher tells Rolling Stone he has other projects in the works. The guitarist says he's finished recording an album with UK electro duo Amorphous Androgynous. He had intended to release this summer but due to a holdup in the mixing process, it likely won't see the light of day until 2013.
"[Amorphous Androgynous] mixed it and then I didn't like it," he explains. "And then they tried to mix it while I was on the road and I didn't like that. So I'm gonna have to wait until I get back off this tour which is in November." The collection was originally set to include b-sides from the debut album, as well as brand-new tracks, but with the time now elapsed since his debut album Gallagher no longer sees this plan being sensible.
So he’s started writing new songs. It's what, Gallagher says, keeps him sane on the road. "Once you've fucking been through the drug thing, and the girls and the booze and all that, what do you fucking do on the road?" he says. “There're only so many club sandwiches you can eat." Gallagher estimates he's got another album's worth of demos recorded, but he’s in no rush to get back into the studio. Says Gallagher, "My wife will decide when she's sick of me and she'll usher me out into the fucking cold and then I'll go into the studio."

"It was very much just a gig in a field," Gallagher recalls of Coachella. "And people [outside America] were going, 'What? Who? They have festivals in America?'"
Gallagher was also in a dysfunctional band. "With Oasis, you didn't really know if the gig was going to take place until we went on," he says. "You would sit around and think, 'well somebody's gonna have a fucking problem sooner or later so are we actually gonna do it?'
But now, returning to Coachella a decade later, this time to perform with his own band, Noel Gallagher and The High-Flying Birds, the guitarist is completely at ease. “I'm strangely relaxed," he says.
Gallagher, who left Oasis in 2009 and released his solo debut last fall, has been busy touring. But Gallagher tells Rolling Stone he has other projects in the works. The guitarist says he's finished recording an album with UK electro duo Amorphous Androgynous. He had intended to release this summer but due to a holdup in the mixing process, it likely won't see the light of day until 2013.
"[Amorphous Androgynous] mixed it and then I didn't like it," he explains. "And then they tried to mix it while I was on the road and I didn't like that. So I'm gonna have to wait until I get back off this tour which is in November." The collection was originally set to include b-sides from the debut album, as well as brand-new tracks, but with the time now elapsed since his debut album Gallagher no longer sees this plan being sensible.
So he’s started writing new songs. It's what, Gallagher says, keeps him sane on the road. "Once you've fucking been through the drug thing, and the girls and the booze and all that, what do you fucking do on the road?" he says. “There're only so many club sandwiches you can eat." Gallagher estimates he's got another album's worth of demos recorded, but he’s in no rush to get back into the studio. Says Gallagher, "My wife will decide when she's sick of me and she'll usher me out into the fucking cold and then I'll go into the studio."

Oasis
'The Hindu Times' is a song by English rock group Oasis, and was the first single to be released from their fifth album Heathen Chemistry on 15 April 2002. It was written by Noel Gallagher. Noel got the name "The Hindu Times" from a t-shirt he saw in a charity shop. The song was the band's sixth UK #1 single, staying on top for one week before being dislodged by the Sugababes' "Freak Like Me".
The title has little to do with the lyrics of the song, which are more in the vein of Definitely Maybe's "Rock 'n' Roll Star". It has been speculated that the title refers to the main riffs' similarity to Indian music in sound, sounding as if they were played on a sitar. Gallagher himself says that it is because he had already named the song before any lyrics were written for it.
The song, which combines the powerful fast rock of their earlier work with the psychedelic feel of their later work, was one of the first Oasis singles since (What's the Story) Morning Glory to receive almost unanimously positive reviews from the critics. However, some fans have criticised the song, stating that the main guitar riff was lifted from the Stereophonics song, "Same Size Feet", which was released in 1997 on their Word Gets Around album and uses the exact same, or at least very similar, guitar riff.
The song was unveiled during Oasis' Autumn 2001 Noise and Confusion Tour. The song was due to be released commercially at the same time but Noel decided the track needed more work done on it to be suitable for release.
The B-side, "Just Getting Older", was written at the time of the release of Standing on the Shoulder of Giants.

The demo version of The Hindu Times is radically different from the finished album version. Most of the lyrics (sung by Noel) are different, and the slower sound of the song is much more "grungy", with a heavy drum loop running throughout the song. It is also a semitone higher in the demo.
The "10 Minutes..." documentary is the first part of a unique feature covering 48 hours on the road with Oasis during the Tour of Brotherly Love which took place in the USA with the Black Crowes during May and June 2001.
