‘For What It’s Worth’ is the third single released (10 August)
from Liam Gallagher’s debut solo album As
You Were. The record is set for release on October 6, although he has
already debuted two singles – ‘Wall of Glass’ (1 June) and ‘Chinatown’ (30
June) -- in addition to ‘For What It’s Worth’.
The newest single is one of Gallagher’s most honest compositions,
acting as an apology to all those he has wronged … or in simpler terms, pissed
off. Gallagher opens the track with the lyrics: ‘In my defense all my
intentions were good / And heaven knows a place somewhere for the
misunderstood’. Gallagher then answers his reasoning with an apology to those
he has wronged: ‘For what it’s worth I’m sorry for the hurt / I’ll be the first
to say, I made my own mistakes’.
Gallagher admirably opens himself up with this tune, something
that I wasn’t expecting with this record. As he’s said himself, it’s as Oasis-y
as you can get and is a total ballad. It retains the same wistfulness that ‘Chinatown’
produced and the rawness of ‘Wall of Glass’, but being the slowest of the three
it carves a unique strain of emotion.
Gallagher demonstrates a diversity
through these three songs, and there’s no doubt that As You Were will establish the same.
