Lyrics
I hope we’ve found our sweet release
I hope I fill that hole in your soul
I hope that at last we get some peace
I hope the light shines on we as one
There’ll never be enough to learn
The river’s deep and the road is long
And every which way we turn
Always seems insane
But it makes me feel alive
Shout it out loud
When I’m alive
Shout it out loud
When I’m alive
Shout it out loud
When I’m alive
Shout it out loud
As we wish the world away
D’you think it’s all a dream
Cos’ that’s what it seems
Every night we hope and pray
That we can do enough
To keep our love
There’ll never be enough to learn
The river’s deep and the road is long
And every which way we turn
Always seems insane
But it makes me feel alive
Listen / Watch
Notes
It was released as a B-side to their single "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" from the fifth studio album Heathen Chemistry, on June 17, 2002, via Big Brother Recordings.
The track runs for 4 minutes and 20 seconds, produced by the band, and features a melodic, laid-back sound with Noel Gallagher on lead vocals.
The song's lyrics explore themes of hope, emotional healing, and unity, with lines like "I hope we've found our sweet release / I hope I fill that hole in your soul / I hope that at last we get some peace / I hope the light shines on we as one." The chorus builds to "There'll never be enough done / There'll never be enough of us."
Fans often compare its vibe to Pink Floyd or Neil Young influences, noting its anthemic chorus and introspective feel. It didn't chart independently but contributed to the "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" single's success, which reached No. 2 in the UK. Critics and fans regard it as an underrated gem in Oasis's discography, with some calling it one of their best post-Be Here Now tracks.
