We're On Our Way Now

This song finds Noel Gallagher looking back with regret at the last time he spent with a lady friend before she died. Remember what might have been Had to walked you home, I said I'll see you later You were living the dream But when the morning come you'd gone meet your maker Gallagher said: "It's a song about not getting to say goodbye and the frustration of things left unsaid."

This is one of two songs Gallagher recorded for his compilation album Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-2021), which presents highlights from the first decade of Gallagher's work with The High Flying Birds. He nostalgically nods to his former band Oasis' 1995 (What's the Story) Morning Glory? track "Cast No Shadow." Good luck in the afterlife I hear the morning sun doesn't cast no shadow You chose to drift away, but look at you now

Dan Cadan and Jonathan Mowatt directed the black-and-white video, which stars Doctor Who and The Crown actor Matt Smith and actor/model Gala Gordon. Nodding to French New Wave cinema, the clip focuses on Smith and Gordon's characters' lovestruck relationship. Gallagher appears briefly when he meets Smith's character in a bar along with two other friends.
