Oasis: 'I'm Outta Time'

It apparently took Liam Gallagher nine years to write 'I'm Outta Time', so it's disappointing that he still didn't manage to jettison stale lyrical ideas like "keep on keepin' on" and "getting hard to fly" from the final cut. Then again, no one ever turned to the younger Gallagher for Morrissey-esque wordplay.

Lyrical shortcomings notwithstanding, this well-meaning piano ballad is actually pretty touching. Conceived as a tribute to John Lennon, it features a lovely, wistful melody, a shamelessly misty-eyed guitar solo and even a speech sample from one of the late Beatle's last ever interviews. Hardly one of Oasis's most indelible moments, but it's nice to be reminded of the band's tender side.
