Evidence #7568 - Starchild (Early Angel Child version)
How come I've never spoke about one of THE most 1nc3stu0us songs Noel has ever written? (Yes I Say That About All His Songs) If you don't know me, my name is Julia and I've been writing about Liam and Noel's complex and polemic relationship in this blog since 2016. The picture attached shows us the lyrics of a demo written by Noel in late 1994. It's from that old notebook of his that got sold on an auction for 23k quid. Because of its title, it seems to me it's an early version of Angel Child, which is also a very........... interesting song. I can even sing a few bits of Angel Child on top of this old demo's lyrics, but I'll talk about it later. We know the final demo released was only recorded in 1996 during Noel's trip to Mustique, but this draft makes me think it existed way before that. I'll transcribe the lyrics below so you don't have to read through Noel's horrendous handwriting: Starchild! Give me a cigarette It's all I can get Lately... Don't take the memories You might remember me Vaguely... I look to the sky - that I've kissed Dreams that were lost - hopes missed At times when I feel - like this I think I'll never see the sun (Chorus): I'd rather feel all the pain in the world than loss... And I can't afford the price it seems to cost (repeat) Save me the time of day It was born to me anyway Starchild... I'm not gonna run to you But if you ask me to I might... I fall from the sky - we've kissed Dreams were now lost - hopes missed I'll sing for your hope - but you insist We will never see the sun Repeat chorus...
This website is FUCKING RIDICULOUS and it won't let me post my lyric analysis because it's too long, but you can read it here! https://tinyurl.com/starchild-lyrics Remember, Noel: you can escape everyone, but me.
