[00:01.26]The Masterplan is… [00:02.56]Well that’s my favourite song I have ever written I think. [00:06.29]The reason that came about was… [00:08.44]I wrote that in… a hotel room in Japan. [00:11.90]And again it was… you know we needed some more songs for B-sides. [00:16.63]And I remember just sitting down with the guitar [00:19.840]in a hotel room in Japan when it wasn’t really much happening. [00:24.14]Sort of a quiet night, [00:24.99]maybe really early in the morning [00:26.44]about 4 or 5 in the morning. [00:28.45]And I swear the things just came out. [00:30.37]I played the intro out afterwards [00:32.02]It’s the only song that I like every lyric on it. [00:33.77]I like the sound of it. [00:35.20]I like everybody’s playing on it. [00:36.95]And then the singing is really good as well. [00:38.45]I don’t know why Liam didn’t sing that one. [00:40.36]I love all the lyrics on that one. [00:41.66]I think it’s the most complete thing I ever done in the studio. [00:44.38]And when we finished it, [00:46.53]so it left to me and Owen to… sort of… [00:49.70]cause we are the producers sort of like then not to make it all sound you know to turn it older than that (?) [00:54.38]And then anyway comes to the guitar solo bit. [00:56.86]I don’t like playing the guitar solos on tour anymore. [00:59.17]I used to like it at first but I don’t like it anymore [01:01.05]cause I used to play the same thing [01:04.03]sort of over and over different melody and over. [01:06.03]Some might sounds… different but it is the same. [01:08.76]Owen suggested that we turn the tapes over Owen [01:10.92]and play it backwards and play just series of random notes [01:13.93]and then we’ll see if we could get some sort of solo out of it. [01:17.22]We thought it was going to take hours. [01:19.12]When we turned the tapes back over, that was it. [01:21.40]It just all fit in complete… [01:22.60]And I think we maybe had to take a couple of notes out. [01:26.08]And then we spent… a couple of days on the strings and the brass [01:30.08]and then just got the intro [01:31.55]and you know put them on the side of it and that was it. [01:35.62]That is everybody’s favourite song. [01:38.00]Take the time to make some sense [01:41.18]Of what you want to say [01:44.33]And cast your words away upon the waves [01:50.87]Sail them home with acquiesce [01:53.94]On a ship of hope today [01:57.32]And as they land upon the shore [02:00.67]Tell them not to fear no more [02:03.85]Say it loud and sing it proud [02:06.85]Today [02:09.88]And then dance if you wanna dance [02:12.13]Please brother take a chance [02:13.72]You know they're gonna go which way they wanna go [02:17.20]All we know is that we don't know [02:23.87]How it's gonna be [02:25.12]Please brother let it be [02:26.67]Life on the other hand won't make us understand [02:31.80]We're all part of a masterplan [02:36.49]----------guitar solo---------- [02:58.94]Say it loud and sing it proud [03:02.02]today [03:05.64]I'm not saying right is wrong [03:08.71]It's up to us to make [03:11.92]The best of all the things that come our way [03:18.39]'Cause everything that's been has passed [03:21.68]The answer's in the looking glass [03:24.88]There's four and twenty million doors [03:28.34]On life's endless corridor [03:31.40]Say it loud and sing it proud [03:34.66]And they will dance if they wanna dance [03:39.69]Please brother take a chance [03:41.34]You know they're gonna go which way they wanna go [03:45.14]All we know is that we don't know ow it's gonna be [03:52.70]Please brother let it be [03:54.23]Life on the other hand won't make you understand [03:59.36]We're all part of a masterplan
