Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds release ‘We’re On Our Way Now’ video

Noel Gallagher announced as 2021’s Official Record Store Day UK Ambassador

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds have released the official music video for ‘We’re On Our Way Now’. The first of two new singles to feature on the forthcoming release of Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-2021). Released on June 11th via Sour Mash Records, the set is a definitive 18 track best of package, and a timely reminder of the breadth and depth of classic songs from the first decade of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.

Directed by Dan Cadan & Jonathan Mowatt for Rankin and inspired by French New Wave cinema, the music video for “We’re On Our Way Now” stars actors Matt Smith and Gala Gordon, alongside a cameo appearance from Noel Gallagher.

“It’s a song about not getting to say goodbye and the frustration of things left unsaid,” Gallagher shares.

“It was Scully’s genius idea to pay homage to French New Wave cinema,” adds Director Dan Cadan. “He cut together a brilliant video using footage from the Jean-Luc Godard game-changer, ‘A Bout De Souffle’ (Breathless), to show how it would work. Everyone was convinced and so we set about writing a treatment that would pay homage to the movement, paying particular attention to that film and another Godard classic, ‘Band A Part’. Renowned for rejecting convention and tradition, French New Wave has a timeless aesthetic that boldly favours experimentation and an iconoclastic spirit. NG embodies all of the above, so it’s the perfect fit.”

Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-2021) is also available on limited edition deluxe formats with a bonus disc including previously unreleased acoustic versions, remixes, instrumentals and an unheard demo. There will also be a limited edition numbered, hand pressed, colored double LP with exclusive art print released for Record Store Day on the June 12th, of which Noel Gallagher has been announced as the official ambassador for this year’s celebrations.

With his long history of supporting indie record stores, and five Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds Record Store Day releases amongst the event’s best selling vinyl, Noel Gallagher is undeniably the perfect artist to take on this year’s ambassador role.

Curated and compiled entirely by Gallagher, the track listing of Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-2021) encompasses songs from High Flying Birds’ three UK No. 1 albums and the three acclaimed EPs. Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-2021) also features two brand new songs produced by Noel Gallagher & Paul “Strangeboy” Stacey, “We’re On Our Way Now” and “Flying On The Ground.”
