This track, a B side for Oasis in 2000, topped Q magazine's list of 500 best lost tracks: Let's All Make Believe

Saw a social media post about this from an Oasis fan who considers it a favorite, with Liam's best vocals. Studio track below, then what Q magazine said about it, then Noel's demo.

From Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_Let_It_Out

The B-side "Let's All Make Believe" was placed by Q magazine placing at number one on its list of the '500 best lost tracks' and at number four on its list of songs to download for the month of January 2006. Q magazine said in the description, "If Standing on the Shoulder of Giants had contained this track, it would have probably got another star."

Another quote from Q, from an Oasis forum, quoting the article on the 500 best lost tracks...and I'm leaving the typos in. This board post was apparently typed up by the fan from a print copy of the magazine, not copied from an article online:

"Not just one of the best songs Noel Gallagher has written, Lets All Make Belive is also his most reveaking, betraying a cynicism utterly at odds with the idealist who penned Live Forever. More prescisely, its the anti-acquiesce, reflecting both on his fractious relationship with brother Liam and the acrimony that witnessed founding members Bonehead and Guigsy quit the band during its original recording sessions.

That Liam delivers Noel's wounding sarcasm 'Lets All Make Belive we're still friends and we like each other' serves to double the song's poignancy, so too its sombre chords and epic chorus. Reviews of 2000's SOSOG album would have probably carried an extra star had it been included: instead, it was frittered away as the b-side to Go Let It Out. Never played live, and one of the umteen treasures absent from the flawed 'greatest hits' collection STC, this is definitly (not maybe) their great lost classic.

Noel's demo, recorded in 1998:

1. I wish Liam had sung more songs that way.

It would have been easier on his voice too.

2. So do I. And I love that t-shirt.
