Noel Gallagher On 'Soldier Boys And Jesus Freaks'

Noel Gallagher has told the current issue of the NME his thoughts on each track from Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds debut album.

This is what Noel had to say about the seventh track 'Soldier Boys And Jesus Freaks'.

"Very Kinks sounding; the opening line about the village green is a clue as to where it all came from. I was listening to that album ['The Kinks Arc The Village Green Preservation Society1] a lot on the last Oasis tour. The title itself, people are gonna think, 'What the fucking hell's this going to be about?' Each line is like the scene of a film, it's really visual. In my head, it reminds me of that scene in The Deer Hunter where the guy gets back from Vietnam, and the girl puts the record on the jukebox in the bar. The second half of the album, from here onwards, has got a separate feel. They're all darker sounding. It's night-time music. "
