Gotta love it! Liams voice. Noel's finger picking through a trippy effect. Only Liam, Noel & Alan played this song. oasis where in a difficult stage. It's from Liam & Noel heart, who didnt let suden departures affect oasis's future. Oasis nearly broke up in 1999 due to the departures of both Bonehead & Guigsy within the next few weeks.

Quote:

"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), the lyric: "Lets all make believe/were 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'.

I think this is the best ever B-side they have done

yeah, half the world away, talk tonight, take me away and the rest - there all good, but the lyrics and melody of this song are absolutely fantastic.

No-one does B-sides like Oasis
