Songbird is a song by Oasis, from their fifth studio album Heathen Chemistry. It was written by Liam Gallagher and included on Oasis' 2006 compilation album Stop The Clocks.
The song was released as the fourth single from that album on February 3rd 2003 and peaked at number three in the UK charts. It was the first time the band had released a single not written Noel Gallagher.
It is the shortest running Oasis single at 2:07.
Liam has said of the song: "I like beautiful things...It's not all dark in Liam World. I take my shades off every now and again and have a look at the world and see some nice things." The demo of the song is a typical Oasis approach to the song, featuring overdriven guitar and a stronger beat, as well as a guitar solo.
The 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.
