The Masterplan
The Masterplan is…
Well that’s my favourite song I have ever written I think.
The reason that came about was…
I wrote that in… a hotel room in Japan.
And again it was… you know we needed some more songs for B-sides.
And I remember just sitting down with the guitar
in a hotel room in Japan when it wasn’t really much happening.
Sort of a quiet night,
maybe really early in the morning
about 4 or 5 in the morning.
And I swear the things just came out.
I played the intro out afterwards
It’s the only song that I like every lyric on it.
I like the sound of it.
I like everybody’s playing on it.
And then the singing is really good as well.
I don’t know why Liam didn’t sing that one.
I love all the lyrics on that one.
I think it’s the most complete thing I ever done in the studio.
And when we finished it,
so it left to me and Owen to… sort of…
cause we are the producers sort of like then not to make it all sound you know to turn it older than that (?)
And then anyway comes to the guitar solo bit.
I don’t like playing the guitar solos on tour anymore.
I used to like it at first but I don’t like it anymore
cause I used to play the same thing
sort of over and over different melody and over.
Some might sounds… different but it is the same.
Owen suggested that we turn the tapes over Owen
and play it backwards and play just series of random notes
and then we’ll see if we could get some sort of solo out of it.
We thought it was going to take hours.
When we turned the tapes back over, that was it.
It just all fit in complete…
And I think we maybe had to take a couple of notes out.
And then we spent… a couple of days on the strings and the brass
and then just got the intro
and you know put them on the side of it and that was it.
That is everybody’s favourite song.
Take the time to make some sense
Of what you want to say
And cast your words away upon the waves
Sail them home with acquiesce
On a ship of hope today
And as they land upon the shore
Tell them not to fear no more
Say it loud and sing it proud
Today
And then dance if you wanna dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't know
How it's gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand won't make us understand
We're all part of a masterplan
----------guitar solo----------
Say it loud and sing it proud
today
I'm not saying right is wrong
It's up to us to make
The best of all the things that come our way
'Cause everything that's been has passed
The answer's in the looking glass
There's four and twenty million doors
On life's endless corridor
Say it loud and sing it proud
And they will dance if they wanna dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't know ow it's gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand won't make you understand
We're all part of a masterplan
