“When I feel like a drop in the ocean
But there's no one else at sea
And my body's bent and broken
Let the Lord shine a light on me
Now the voices in the distance
Trying to sing their soul to sleep
When I'm drifting in the silence
Let the Lord shine a light on me
Let the Lord shine a light on me”
- From Let The Lord Shine A Light On Me
My good friend Gary Bradley tipped me off to this Noel Gallagher song which is found on the b-side of the single AKA... What A Life. For those who read my review of Gallagher’s album you will know how surprisingly impressed I was by the sound that his new found freedom from Liam has brought. This song reveals that liberty in all its fullness. It is a lush ambient sound, soft in mood and perfect for a song that seems to suggest that Gallagher is seeking God when he looks into his insignificance, needs interruptions of grace in his life and while counting his many blessings. No deep theology but a nod to transcendence and a chance for Noel to go Gospel! It’s a beaut!
