As Oasis prepare to release what could be their final album, we’ve decided to pay homage to one of the greatest bands of all time by posting a series of their videos in the run up to the release of Time Flies... 1994-2009.
Falling Down was released as the third single from the album and is also the final single released by the band with the digital release occurring a day earlier. The song debuted at 10 in the UK Singles Chart with first week sales of 21,448, but the song only achieved a chart position of number 37 in the UK download chart in the same week, most likely due to its leak on iTunes prior to the album or first single's release.
"Falling Down" is the fifth Oasis single to be sung by Noel rather than Liam (not including "Lord Don't Slow Me Down"). It is also the second Oasis song to be used in a TV series (the first being "Half the World Away").
The video depicts a woman who is supposed to be part of the Royal Family who enjoys parties, one night stands and drugs. When she meets the band in the video, the members refuse to shake her hand because of the way she hides her party lifestyle. When the 'Princess' offers her hand to Noel Gallagher he is seen to say "Nah" and turns away in disdain. Prince Charles appears at the conclusion of the video.
