"Who Feels Love?" is a song by English rock band Oasis, written by the band's lead guitarist Noel Gallagher. It became the second single to be released from the album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants , peaking at number four on the UK Singles Chart (their first not to reach the top three since 1994's "Cigarettes & Alcohol") and entering the top 20 in Ireland, Italy, and Spain.

Reception

Standing on the Shoulder of Giants was noted for its psychedelic feel, and "Who Feels Love?" was held up as the most extreme example of this. Mark Stent was praised for his production on the song, creating a "trippy" feel like that found on Beatles songs such as "Rain". With the psychedelic and Eastern sound, the song also reminds of George Harrison achievements like "Within You Without You" and also some of his solo work. However, despite the acclaimed production, the song itself was not well received by the critics, with NME stating that the production "triumphs over any real sort of feeling... pure mock Maharishi spirituality that not even Liam can salvage from the realm of self-parody".

Music video

The song's music video was shot in Death Valley, California in December 1999.

B-sides

One of the B-sides is a cover of The Beatles' "Helter Skelter". It was played live during the SOTSOG tour of 2000. Paul Weller recorded a version of B-side "One Way Road" for his covers-album Studio 150 in 2004. The Weller version was subsequently used as the theme tune to Jack Dee's sitcom Lead Balloon .

Track listings

All songs were written by Noel Gallagher except "Helter Skelter", written by Lennon–McCartney. "Helter Skelter" was recorded during the sessions for Be Here Now and was produced by Owen Morris.
