"Songbird" is a song by British rock band Oasis, from their fifth studio album Heathen Chemistry. It was released as the fourth single from that album on 3 February 2003 and peaked at #3 in the UK charts. Being written by lead singer Liam Gallagher, it was the first time the band had released a single not written by his brother Noel.
Upon joining Oasis in the early nineties, Noel Gallagher claimed sole-songwriting responsibilities, and allowing little-to-no leeway from the rest of the band. He openly mocked the songwriting output of Liam and Bonehead, who had been in charge of Oasis' songwriting prior to his joining and had written a handful of tracks such as "Take Me" and an acoustic number titled "Life In Vain". Liam elaborated on the situation in 1994, after the release of Definitely Maybe saying "Noel won't let me (write), but I can't really write anyway... In the future if I started writing top tunes, I still don't think he'd be up for it... I know for a fact, even if he was going dry, he wouldn't play my songs... I'm not happy with that, but that's the way it is innit?".
However, after Oasis' third album Be Here Now received a cold reception from music critics, Noel began to loosen his control and allowed Liam to contribute songs. Though his first effort, "Little James" which appeared on Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, was criticised for being too simple and childlike (in particular, rhyming "plasticine" with "trampoline"), Songbird was fairly well received, despite only being based around two simple chords (G + Em7).
The song, written for Liam's long term girlfriend Nicole Appleton, was seen as a surprising break away from Liam's "Hard-Man" image. He explained this away saying "I like beautiful things...It's not all dark in Liam World. I take me shades off every now and again and have a look at the world and see some nice things."
The simplistic video was filmed in Regent's Park in London, and featured Liam playing an acoustic guitar under a tree, and also being chased by a dog.
Songbird is the shortest running Oasis single, at 2:07.
The song is included on Oasis' 2006 'best-of' album Stop The Clocks.

The sun has set on the Sundance Film Festival, which means cinephiles have already moved on to anticipating South by Southwest. One notable feature is Downloaded, a documentary about Napster's rise, fall, and fallout, directed by Alex Winter (better known as the Bill to Keanue Reeves' Ted). A new trailer for the VH1 Rock Doc was unveiled earlier this week (via Deadline), which you can watch up below. The two-minute preview doubles as a time capsule of life circa 2000: Christina Aguilera hadn't yet gone "Dirrty," Jon Stewart hadn't gone gray, Carson Daly was still on MTV, and Newsweek was still in print.
Downloaded features interviews with Napster creators Shawn Fanning and Sean Parker, as well as David Bowie, Noel Gallagher, Dr Dre, Henry Rollins, the Beastie Boys' Mike D, and many other figures in the recording industry. The film's world premiere is scheduled for March 10 at the SXSW Film Festival, which starts on March 8.

The notorious dream team are back to celebrate the Teenage Cancer Trust dates...
Russell Brand is to return to Xfm next month... and he's reuniting with his old friend Noel Gallagher for a special series of shows to mark this year's Teenage Cancer Trust gigs.
The pair are to helm a new programme in the lead up to the week-long set of dates for the charity - the first time in seven years that they've worked with producer Matt Morgan and poet Mr Gee.
Noel told Xfm presenter and Sun columnist Gordon Smart: "Xfm asked me if I wanted to do my own radio show leading up to this year's TCT concerts. I said, I have a better idea. Why don't we resurrect whats-his-name's career? That hairy skinny-legged yogameister, Rustle Brand? Last seen shaming the nation at them Olympics…
"It'll be great to remind people how colossal me, Matt Morgan and Mr Gee were on that bloody show before 'Arthur' got us all the sack. Tune in and see if I'm wrong."
Russell told Gordon: "I miss radio. It was lovely when we did the show. It'll be great to get the old team back together."
This was the show that landed Jonathan Ross and Brand in trouble over the whole Andrew Sachs "Sachsgate" affair. Xfm is excited, ecstatic, pleased - and ever so slightly nervous - at welcoming the Brand/Gallagher team back into our studios.
Noel has curated this year's Teenage Cancer Trust dates, which include performances by Primal Scream, Kasabian, Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon and an evening of comedy featuring Russell Brand, Noel Fielding and more.
The Xfm shows will make a fine prelude to an incredible run of gigs at the Royal Albert Hall.
It's going to be unmissable, and takes place in late March. The TCT shows start on March 19 and run through to March 24.

The women in Russell Brands’s LA yoga class can look forward to a well-earned breather next month.
Bizarre’s four-time Shagger Of The Year is making a return to UK radio with his old on-air sparring partner Noel Gallagher.
The Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid of radio are reuniting with the original team behind the Russell Brand Show.
The lads have signed up for a series of new shows on Xfm, which will promote a week of Teenage Cancer Trust gigs Noel has curated for the charity.
It has been five years since they last sat in a studio together, when they took over TalkSport for an afternoon.
But the original A-Team — Ol’ Russ, Noel, producer Matt Morgan and poet Mr Gee — will be on air for the first time in SEVEN years.
Last night Noel said: “Xfm asked me if I wanted to do my own radio show leading up to this year’s TCT concerts.
“I said, ‘I have a better idea. Why don’t we resurrect whats-hisname’s career?’
“ ‘Who?’ they said.
“ ‘That hairy, skinny-legged, yogameister Rustle Brand? Last seen shaming the nation at them Olympics’, said I. ‘Brilliant!’ they said. ‘You really are a genius’.
“‘I know’, said I. In all seriousness though, it’ll be great to remind people how colossal me, Matt Morgan and Mr Gee were on that bloody show before ‘Arthur’ got us all the sack. Tune in and see if I’m wrong.”
You won’t have to wait long. The good people of Xfm, where I reside on a Sunday morning between 10am and 1pm, have sorted the shows for the end of March.
Russell told me: “I miss radio. It was lovely when we did the show. It will be great to get the old team back together.”
It was the very show that landed Jonathan Ross and Russell in hot water over the Sachsgate business.
You can bet your boots the Ofcom boys will be tuning in and stroking their chins in anticipation of some bad behaviour. Good luck to them — the radio hasn’t been the same without their carry-on.

Russel Brand has been speaking to The Sun about getting Noel Gallagher to take part in "Give It Up For Comic Relief".
He said: “Noel Gallagher was the first person to agree. When Comic Relief asked if I could get anyone to perform, I actually called him from the room and he said ‘Yeah’.
“Although he spends his life with me thinking of novel ways to offend me, when it comes to it he is really, really helpful, loyal and a good person. In the last stand-up show I did, the day after the Olympics, when I was still feeling a flush of national pride and success after overcoming my nerves and being proud that I hadn’t fallen off the top of the bus, Noel left me that message, ‘Oh Mr Skinny Legs on top of a bus, murdering The f***ing Beatles.’
Tickets for "Give It Up For Comic Relief" are on General Sale now here and here.

Noel Gallagher is a huge fan of The Smiths – but his love of Morrissey doesn’t extend as far as wearing a hearing aid in his honour.
The former Ooasis star has been for a brain scan as doctors try to get to the bottom of the constant ringing in his ears.
Funnily enough, they told him it could be down to playing a guitar at ear-shatteringly loud volume for the best part of 20 years.
So well done, Harley Street doctors — give yourselves a pat on the back for that diagnosis.
In all seriousness, though — it can be a nasty one.
The Who’s Pete Townshend suffers from tinnitus, as does Coldplay’s Chris Martin.
Speaking on the one and only Andy Goldstien'ss TalkSport show, he explained: “I went for a brain scan. They did find it!
“I’ve got bizarre ringing in my ears. I think it’s just through playing guitar for the last 20 years so I had to sit in a tube in the hospital.
“It’s an accumulation of many things but I’ve had a bloody great time doing it all and if I do eventually die of brain disease it will have been worth it.
“The funny thing is they give you these headphones and I chose classical music.
“It came on and it was the exact music I play to my little kid when he goes to bed. I was in there for 25 minutes.
“It was horrible. I know what the results will be — ‘There is nothing wrong with you’. It’s another way of fleecing money out of you.”
Noel had the hump on Goldstein’s show the other week about the cost of dental hygienists. It sounds more like Saga Radio.
Good old Goldstein, a friend of the column, chipped in with his own story about his bad back.
Noel poked fun at him and sidekick Jason Cundy, calling them the Frank Lampard and Stevie Gerrard of broadcasting.
Andy asked who the singer would rather be and Noel said: “Lampard or Gerrard? Lampard’s got the better bird.”
Christine Bleakley's got her own money as well — which would appeal to Mr Gallagher and his purse strings...

Sinead OConner
Sinead O'Connor has revealed that she once received a marriage proposal from Noel Gallagher.
The singer's memory was jogged by an interview question from Gallagher's brother Liam, who asked her in this month's issue of Uncut magazine: "You've always been effortlessly cool. How do you manage that?"
O'Connor responded: "Oh, that's sweet. I've never seen myself as cool, but I'm flattered. Actually, Liam's brother Noel once asked me to marry him, just before he married Meg Mathews. He won't remember, as he was off his face at a festival in Amsterdam."
Continuing, O'Connor urged the Gallagher brothers to settle their differences for the sake of their mother Peggy. She said: "I am so glad to hear from Liam because I, as a mammy, am not happy that him and his brother aren't getting along well, and their poor mammy must be very upset. Tell Liam I love him and his brother and I'd like them to get on with each other. Do it for mammy's sake, yer feckers!"
Noel Gallagher wed Meg Mathews in Las Vegas in June 1997, but the pair divorced in January 2001. He subsequently married his longtime partner Sara McDonald in a private ceremony at a New Forest hotel in June 2011. Sinead O'Connor's fourth marriage, to therapist Barry Herridge, came to an end after just 17 days in January 2012.

He famously has a very tumultuous relationship with his brother and Oasis bandmate Noel Gallagher.
But it seems Liam Gallagher is happy to put any animosity between the pair behind him for the sake of Noel’s daughter Anais.
The famous musician was spotted taking his niece and her mother Meg Mathews for lunch on Sunday to help her celebrate her 13th birthday.
The unlikely dinner companions were joined by Liam’s wife Nicole Appleton, their son Gene and Liam’s eldest son Lennon Francis from his first marriage with Patsy Kensit.
Noel Gallagher didn't appear to be have joined them for the family occasion.
The group, which also seemed to include two of the birthday girl’s friends, happily posed for pictures outside Lemonia, a family-run Greek restaurant in Primrose Hill.
Liam’s two sons both opted for bright coloured trousers to help their cousin see in her birthday, while the rest of the family opted for rock ‘n’ roll inspired outfits.
Meg, who split from Noel over a decade ago, was the only member of the group who wore light colours wearing an interesting striped shirt and trousers combo which looked like they had been inspired by pyjamas.
In 2000 Noel and Liam famously fell out after Liam made a derogatory remark about Noel’s then wife Meg, reportedly questioning whether Anais was his legitimate daughter.
The row was just the first of many for the brothers and in 2005 Noel said: ‘He’s my brother but he’s at arm’s length until he apologises for what he’s done.’
In 2009 Noel alleged that Liam came after him with a guitar ‘like an axe’ while the band were in Paris, resulting in Oasis splitting up.
That same year, Liam said: ‘It takes more than blood to be my brother. He doesn’t like me and I don’t like him.’
But now it looks like Liam is extending an olive branch to his brother by taking Anais out for her birthday and it’s clear Meg has no hard feelings towards the rocker.
Anais is signed to leading model agency Select and last year her mother Meg shared a snap of her taken by famous photographer Mario Testino.
Since splitting with his brother and the rest of Oasis, Liam appears to have mellowed somewhat and has been spending his time on his clothing range Pretty Green.

Ross Farrelly
The Strypes
Former Oasis man was among the heaving crowd crammed into the Old Blue Last.
Noel Gallagher was among the crowd that crammed into London's Old Blue Last on Thursday (January 23) to watch The Strypes – you can watch fan shot footage of the gig below.
The gig by the Mercury-signed band, who come from Cavan in Ireland, saw such lengthy queues that the band swiftly added an additional set to avoid disappointing the legions of fans and industry that had thronged to see them.
The band, clad in smart mod suits and with singer Ross Farrelly sporting shades throughout, played energised takes on classic rock and R&B covers including Bo Diddley's 'You Can’t Judge A Book By It's Cover', T-Bone Walker's 'Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday Is Just As Bad)' and Muddy Waters' 'Mannish Boy'.
Gallagher is the latest in a string of celebrities to watch the hype-heavy band - once described as "One Direction in mod suits" on account of having only written two original songs - after Elton John caught them live in Brighton and Miles Kane attended another show.
All four members of The Strypes are aged between just 14 and 16 and they have appeared on Ireland's Late Late Show several times in the past year.
