Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds - “Ballad Of The Mighty I” (Feat. Johnny Marr) Official Video

“Ballad Of The Mighty I” is a surprisingly dancey Johnny Marr collaboration from Noel Gallagher’s upcoming album Chasing Yesterday, one that matches a hi-hat-heavy drum track and infectiously snaky guitar parts with a soaring symphonic background. It’s an unprecedented sound for Gallagher, and its video is just as unexpected. Gallagher has been outspoken about how much he hates making music videos, and this one plays on that reputation, tracing his interactions with a pompous director who hilariously addresses him as “Liam” and seems way more into the filmmaking process than Gallagher himself. All in all it’s the most fascinating thing Gallagher’s done since the dissolution of Oasis, so press play.
