"Go Let It Out" is a song by English rock band Oasis, written by the band's lead guitarist Noel Gallagher.
It was released on February 7th 2000 as the first single from the fourth studio album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants. The song peaked at #1 in the UK charts where it went Silver.
The lyrics are a similar vein to "Roll With It" in that it encourages the listener to get on with their life without being specific about how this is to be achieved. The song samples the drums from Johnny Jenkins' version of Dr John's "I Walk on Gilded Splinters". The title may be a reference to the line in "Hey Jude" by The Beatles, "So let it out and let it in, hey, Jude, begin". Noel described the song as "the closest we came to sounding like a modern day Beatles" in the 'Lock the Box' interview found on the DVD in the special edition of Stop the Clocks.
The song, along with B-side "(As Long As They've Got) Cigarettes in Hell", also embodies the psychedelic feel which the band experimented with on the album. It couples this with an acoustic guitar chord sequence. "Let's All Make Believe", the second B-Side is considered by many to be one of the best Oasis B-sides. Some people believe the lyrics of this song to relate to the cracks that began forming in the group at the time (see below), for example: "So let's all make believe/that we're still friends and we like each other."
Due to the departure of guitarist Bonehead and bassist Guigsy in the early recording sessions for Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, the track features only Liam Gallagher (vocals), Noel Gallagher (rhythm guitar, bass guitar, lead guitar) and Alan White (drums).
Oasis were looking for replacements for founding members Bonehead and Guigsy and while Bonehead was quickly replaced with fellow Creation signing and former Heavy Stereo frontman Gem Archer, Guigsy proved harder to replace. Thus the trippy video for "Go Let It Out" had to be filmed with Noel on bass, Archer in Noel's role as lead guitarist and Liam in Archer's role as rhythm guitarist.
The b-side "Let's All Make Believe" has recently been included in several lists as a 'hidden gem', such as Q magazine placing it at number one on its list of '500 best lost tracks' and at 4 on its 'list of songs to download this month - January 2006.' Q magazine said in the description 'If Standing on the Shoulder of Giants had contained this track, it would have probably got another star'.
In the "lock the box" interview, Noel considers "Go Let It Out" to be "head and shoulders" above any other songs he had written during this time, and its "up there with some of the best things I've ever done."
"Go Let It Out" is included on Oasis' compilation album Stop the Clocks, and is the only song from Standing on the Shoulder of Giants on that album.

This was the first Oasis product to be released via their new Big Brother record label, that is ten years old today.
The catalogue numbers across all formats include RKID 001.
Due to new regulations concerning the length of singles in the UK, this was the first Oasis single to only include 2 b-sides.
Adam Ant has said that Russell Brand's behaviour was typical of many modern celebrities, a breed for whom he has little time. "I've never liked people like that," he says, waving his hands, "like Damien Hirst – that's not art, it's commerce! – and I've always hated stroppy [celebrity] behaviour, like that of the Gallaghers. Not the older one, Noel, he's OK, but Liam. His attitude, well, it's unacceptable."
Ant is currently at war with the younger Gallagher, a state prompted after he collaborated with the former Oasis bassist Andy Bell – now in Liam's new band Beady Eye – on a song called "Cool Zombie", which features on Ant's new album. "He told me there'd be trouble if I put the song on my record, but nobody tells me what to do, nobody. This is a personal thing between me and him, and we will deal with it man-to-man."

Liam Gallagher has warned his estranged brother Noel to "stay away from my f***ing Irish concert" as he barred him from his first post-Oasis gig in Dublin.
The feuding brothers split in 2009 after a series of blazing rows and now Liam is set to premier his new group Beady Eye at the Olympia on April 15.
But sources have revealed the singer has banned Noel from the show, fearing he could gatecrash the gig.
An insider revealed: "Liam has said that Noel is 100% barred from the Dublin gig. The order has been made very clear.
"The brothers haven't spoken in more than a year and there's clearly no love lost between them. They are 100% at war.
"Liam is worried Noel will try and turn up to a couple of the gigs on his tour and stir things up.
"He's already infuriated Liam by claiming all his new songs are just cast-offs from the ones Oasis didn't want to use from their last album. He's very bitter.
Liam doesn't want to go on stage for those concerts worrying about Noel turning it into a song and dance.
"He's the only person Liam has prevented from going to the gig - which is unusual for him. It just shows how bad the feeling between them is."
Liam recently insisted there was no chance of reconciling with Noel.
He said: "What I'm saying is all from me. This is not a band feud.
"Everyone else gets on great with Noel. Me and him have got the arse with each other and will have for a long, long time.
"I've been around this absurd circus and I've just gone, 'You're a f***ing idiot what kind of behaviour's this? Have you just come out of the sandpit?' "I admit I am annoying sometimes on tour. But, believe you me, I am not the only one."
Now Liam is preparing to win over an army of new fans with the gig at the Olympia.
The source added: "Liam is on a mission to prove there is life after Oasis so the Dublin gig is huge for him.
"It's understandable he is worried Noel turning up would ruin the whole thing."
DJ Jason Thomas talks to Liam Gallagher and Gem Archer about their new album and upcoming tour , why they are chosing to kick it off in intimate venues and the differences between Man U and Man City fans.
The Oasis fan who bought Noel Gallagher's web domain name, Noelgallagher.com, 10 years ago has got in touch with NME to say he never negotiated a deal to give it back to the guitarist, as had been reported in the papers.
Javier Romero said he was more than pleased with his dealings with Noel, and he offered to give him back the domain name for free. "They offered me a soundcheck pass [for one of his shows at the London Royal Albert Hall last March], then the meet and greet," he said.
"All Noel's crew were very friendly. I can only say good things to about Noel, and hope he can say the same about me."
Beady Eye are pleased to announce that long-time friend Steve Cradock will be supporting them on seven of their forthcoming UK dates in April.
Steve, who is a founding-member of Ocean Colour Scene and plays with Paul Weller, also duetted on the song 'Carnation' with Liam on The Jam tribute album, 'Fire & Skill - The Songs Of The Jam' back in 1999.

Nottingham Rock City - Monday 11th April Liverpool Guild Of Students - Tuesday 12th April Leeds O2 Academy - Thursday 21st April Newport Centre - Saturday 23rd April Wolverhampton Civic Hall - Sunday 24th April Southampton Guildhall - Tuesday 26th April Brighton Centre - Wednesday 27th April
