When he was asked to choose between ‘Live Forever’ and ‘Riverman’ Noel Gallagher answered:

“Well.. (makes a balancing movement with his hands) Pfff.. Then I would have to discard the historical significance of ‘Live Forever’. ‘Live Forever’ is of course the bigger tune, that has proven its significance. I find it to be a beautiful song and I’m proud of it and it’s great that many people feel the same way about it. But I don’t play it anymore, it’s standing further away from me then ‘Riverman’ is. So I’d have to go with ‘Riverman’. That is now, that is how I am now. From the two it’s the song I want to hear, play and let all the people experience right now. Fuck , I’m so immensely pleased with it. Ask me this in ten years, then we’ll see if it stood the test of time. I haven’t got a clue if these new tunes will be seen in line with ‘Live Forever’ and ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’. I do hope so, you never know—I knew directly I’d written a world hit when I finished ‘Live Forever’. But I feel exactly the same about Riverman: it’s fucking great. We’ll see down the line.”
