Let There Be Love is a song by Oasis from their sixth studio album, Don't Believe The Truth and was written by Noel Gallagher. It was released on November 28th 2005 as the third and final single from the album in the United Kingdom and as the second single in the United States.
It reached number two in the UK charts, capping a very successful year for the band. Many critics cited this song as proof that Oasis had returned to the form seen in the mid-'90s.
A demo for the track was recorded during sessions for Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants. A bootleg of these demo sessions was leaked onto the Internet in early 2000. This track was given the unofficial title It's A Crime on many bootlegs as the track was unknown and unreferenced anywhere before then. The album version of the song is structurally almost exactly the same as the demo with a slight change in melody in the part that Noel sings. The lyrics to the chorus remains intact, but the verses and bridge have totally rewritten lyrics.
The single version of the song omits the second verse and chorus.
A second, Noel-sung demo was released on the Let There Be Love DVD single. It has the same lyrics as the album version, and in fact the album version takes some elements from the demo such as the piano. It was probably recorded sometime in 2003 or 2004, prior to the main Don't Believe The Truth recording sessions.
The video is a montage of some of Oasis' live shows during the summer of 2005 including clips of the gigs at Hampden Park and the City Of Manchester Stadium. The clips don't actually show the band playing Let There Be Love.
