The songs on Be, in Beady Eye’s words
1. Flick Of The Finger
Liam: “We had to go first with it. I get a bit of an I Wanna Be Adored vibe.”
Andy: “To me, it’s a Gimme Shelter moment.”
2. Soul Love
Liam: “This started as a Songbird-y thing, but I changed it the night before we recorded it.”
3. Face The Crowd
Liam: “Face The Crowd is just f*cking…”
Gem: “…a banger.”
4. Second Bite Of The Apple
Liam: “This is the one Sitek changed the most… There’s a lot more magic on this album.”
5. Soon Come Tomorrow
Andy: “One of my tunes, a bit of a quieter, slower thing.”
Liam: “Great tune. Hendrix-y.”
6. Iz Rite
Liam: “The Beatles on E.”
7. I’m Just Saying
Andy: “Anyone longing for a bit of Morning Glory-era Oasis, this is for them.”
8. Don’t Brother Me
Liam: “It’s a beautiful f*cking song and I like the title. I didn’t want to change it.”
9. Shine A Light
Andy: “The intro to this we called ‘the Scarface bit’: like an old black-and-white movie. Very dramatic.”
10. Ballroom Figured
Liam: “It’s a bit Marley to me: Redemption Song. Beautiful.”
11. Start Anew
Andy: “My favourite vocal on the album. It’s an epic: starts off as an acoustic tune then ends up like Neil Young in Boca Juniors’ stadium, in 35C heat, with fireworks going off.”
