"I'm Outta Time" is a song by English rock band Oasis, featured on their 2008 seventh studio album Dig Out Your Soul. The second single from the album, succeeding "The Shock of the Lightning", "I'm Outta Time" was written by lead vocalist Liam Gallagher and released on 1 December 2008.[1]

[edit] Composition

The song bears similarity, in style, to John Lennon's work in the early 1970s. The piano which features on the track partly emulates that of Lennon's "Jealous Guy", with the three octave jumps in C major. The song also has a backing piano part similar in content to that of The Beatles' "A Day in the Life".[2] Liam jokingly claims that it took him nine years to write the song.[2]

The song features a short speech sample from John Lennon taken from one of his last interviews in 1980.[3] The speech sample says: "As Churchill said, it's every Englishman's inalienable right to live where the hell he likes. What's it going to do, vanish? Is it not going to be there when I get back?".[4]

[edit] Reception

The song has been noted as one of the highlights of the album by fans, as well as the band themselves, with guitarist Noel Gallagher labelling it "deceptively brilliant".[5] It has also been praised by music critics, with NME calling it a return to form, and comparing it to the music of Oasis-admired rock band The Beatles.[3]

It charted at #12 in the UK Singles Chart - the first Oasis single to miss the top ten since 1994, ending the band's streak of 22 consecutive top tens. It has so far spent a total of 24 week in the French Singles Chart,[6] the most ever by any Oasis single, but spent only two weeks in the UK top 75, the least ever by any Oasis single. Liam Gallagher claimed in an interview that he wrote the song "While sitting on the end of my bed".

[edit] Music video

The music video for "I'm Outta Time" was released in November. Filmed in black and white, it shows Liam Gallagher, the only band member to appear in the clip, on a "surreal journey through a moon-lit English landscape". At the end of the video, Liam is filmed in a close-up profile shot lying down. This bears resemblence to the back cover artwork for John Lennon's album "Imagine".[7]

[edit] Other Versions

The song was covered by singer Lily Allen on BBC's Live Lounge on December 2nd, 2009.
