I was driving down the road the other day, listening to my Oasis discography and I caught a B-side that really struck me. “Carry Us All,” the flip side of, the British number one single, “Sunday Morning Call” was enough to flip my brain on and not just listen to pass the time.

I am a Secular Humanist, and this song falls perfectly in line with my belief structure, as well as being a good tune to listen to. Noel Gallagher is by far my favorite songwriter, and this isn’t the crowd-friendly sing-along that he is known for, but for those who have studied him, it makes perfect sense.

There is the reference by the religious-lyrical lexicon such as, ‘Prophet,’ ‘Sin,’ and ‘Keeper of right and wrong.’ The song provides an optimistic theme of hope, “Have faith in what you’ve got, and it will carry us all.”

For me, it’s much more satisfying to hear an optimism of hope, than a blind belief in a power that will never be. Make the best of your days, only you are able to live them.
