Both his brother Liam and Alan McGee, head of Creation Records, thought it was much too good to be used as a B side. Liam was mad Noel hadn't waited to record the song for their next album. Noel has sometimes said it's the best song he ever wrote (which is wrong; that was Don't Look Back In Anger), and it's often ranked as one of the band's ten greatest songs, or close to the top ten.
