SONG: "Greedy Soul"
ARTIST: Liam Gallagher
ALBUM: "As You Were"
YEAR: 2017
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Manchester, England
YEARS ACTIVE: 1991 - present
WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
"Greedy Soul" is a song about standing up against someone who has been dishonest and self-serving, and warning them that their actions will have consequences. The repeated reference to the "Midas touch" suggests a sense of pride and power in the protagonist's resistance to this individual. Some say the song was written about his rival brother Noel. It's up for debate I guess.

MY THOUGHTS ON LIAM GALLAGHER:
Liam Gallagher's musical start goes back to 1991 in Manchester, England. Of course, he and his brother Noel were a part of one of the biggest rock and roll bands to do it. I'm talking about Oasis. Oasis took the musical world by storm with a steroids injected Beatles sound! Oasis was active from 1991 to 2009 when Noel decided he could no longer work with his brother Liam. The band left a serious dent though! Liam would go on to form Beady Eye with the other members of Oasis. That project lasted from 2009 till 2014. Liam had no intentions of starting a solo career but by 2017, that's exactly what he did with the release of his debut album "As You Were". The lead single "Wall Of Glass" just crushed proving that Liam still had the goods. His sophomore effort, 2019's "Why Me? Why Not", continued the positive success for Liam as a solo act. 2022 saw Liam drop his third album, "C'mon You Know". The lead single "Everything's Electric" was written for Liam by Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters who also provided drums for the track. Liam's most recent release was the live album "Knebworth 22" in 2023. It's true, it's true... Liam Gallagher is a rock and roll star!! While his brother Noel wrote 99 percent of Oasis' material, Liam started to contribute some songs towards the latter part of the band, then he did even more for his band Beady Eye. Liam writes a lot more as a solo, though he does have some collaborations when it comes to the songwriting. His solo albums have been incredible though. I personally think his solo material is better than Noel's. Deep down however, Liam wants Oasis to reunite. The way he is contributing so much more to his own music, I could imagine how good a new Oasis collaboration could be. Unfortunately, Noel doesn't seem interested in bringing Oasis back from the dead. Until then, Liam is dropping bombs with his solo stuff. D'you know what I mean?!!
