I remember seeing Noel interviewed on tv back when this was released. He said people were getting it wrong thinking it was a usual love song. He said it was a love song but to his mum. He then said 'that one was for you mum, we're gonna live forever!' Always stuck in my mind because then it made more sense.
'Lately, I don't really want to know, how your garden grows, cos I just wanna fly' sums up exactly how adolescent lads feel as they drift apart from their mums and want to go out having it and making the most of the world around them.
I think the sad chord change at the end is because he knows his mum isn't going to live forever. Beautiful song.
