Beady Eye are preparing to release the follow up to 2011's Different Gear Still Speeding this June, and the first taste of the Dave Sitek produced album is by way of a song titled "Flick of the Finger." As it turns out the track is a revamped demo Liam Gallagher wrote for Oasis in 2004 (originally titled "Velvet Morning"). The song was recently given new lyrics, retitled, and chosen as the lead track from Beady Eye's forthcoming album Be.
Today Beady Eye premiered the video for "Flick of the Finger" and interestingly enough the entire clip is footage of a shark attacking a group of - you guessed it - birds that are High Flying. Sly, that Liam!
As it turns out, there are even more Noel Gallagher digs coming from the Beady Eye camp. Liam Gallagher revealed another song on Be is titled "Don't Brother Me." Take one guess who that song is about? Liam even confirmed it in a feature interview with Shortlist:
"Yeah, yeah, people will pick up on it, but I’m ready to go there. So yeah: it’s about Our Kid...I could’ve tried to call it to something else, but that’s what it is. And that is it. It’s a lovely f*cking song."
