Stunning album closer and superb ending to their discography, Liam can pen a great tune when he wants.

Noel Gallagher told the story of how this song came to be on the album to Mojo magazine August 2008: "We'd not started recording, but we'd started gathering together tunes that had a certain feel to them. I was doing the Electric Proms with The Coral, who'd recorded their album at my studio, and it turns out they'd come across a hard drive in the Pro Tools that said New Oasis Stuff, and they'd had a sneaky listen. So (Coral Singer) James Skelly, a bit sheepish, asks me, 'Are you gonna do that tune Soldier On?' Now I don't remember it, Gem doesn't remember it, Liam certainly doesn't remember it, but the other lads in The Coral are, 'You've gotta record this tune, it's f---ing boss!' So I ransack this hard drive, can't find a track called Soldier On. So we get to Abbey Road and we're chatting away, and Andy Bell goes, 'Soldier on? Brilliant! I've got a CD of it in my bag.' Turns out he recorded it with Liam, but Liam still doesn't remember it. 'Well, ' says Andy, 'you were pretty f---ing pissed.'
So we stick it on. Like all Liam's songs it's got one verse and one chorus just repeated, but it's ended up being the last track on the album. It reminds me of a guy walking through sand, carrying a big block on his back, and it just goes on for ages. It goes quite dubby at the end, and I play melodica on it, in the reverb chamber that The Beatles used!"

Hypnotic song that could go on and underrated.

"Soldier On" and "I'm Outta Time" are probably the two best songs on Dig Your Soul Out.
Both written by Liam ;-)

Shine a light,
For me tonight,
Don't be long,
Soldier on.
Whose to say,
That you were right,
And I was wrong,
Soldier on.

Honestly shows that, if Liam really puts his mind to something, he can write a great song
Wish he wrote more, really!!

Liam's work on their last album was a wonderful surprise..

I remember hearing this song when it was released and no knowing it was Oasis, I thought it was brilliant at the time. Years later having discovered Oasis a couple of years ago I have stumbled upon soldier on. Best band ever.

On of my favorites in the album and written by Liam Very Underrated

strangly enough this is probably my favourite song off the album. it's so chill and just a perfect closer

Maybe Oasis aren't the greatest band, the most high brow, or even the most consistent bad. But I don't think they could have chosen a better note to go out on than this one. For a group who made their career out of self empowerment anthems intended as an antidote to the nihilism of mainstream alt rock, this is the perfect final statement. When I feel like I can't keep going, this is always a go-to tune from a vastly underrated album.
