| And Liam always changes the lyrics when he sings it, at least in the two concerts I've been two and then ten I have on CD. He always sings, "When you take my soul, don't take my pride." A little personal meaning, I suppose. | |

| For me this song is beautiful. I belive it to be about a person bound down by society and its harsh reailty. How todays scoiety can take the dignity and integrity of a person. Hence the chorus 'cast no shadow' as if he has no soul left. Well thats my interpretation. | |

| Just a note of appreciation really, what a song! This has some emotion in the leads singers voice, be he Noel or Liam. I prefer the album version though, is that bad? | |

| Apparently Noel wrote this about Richard Ashcroft originally, but I'm sure that he can relate to it as well. I love the background vocals, they really add a lot to the beautiful melody and vocals | |

| i thought at first this song was about a guy who commited suicide hence the line "As they took his soul they stole his pride" but when i looked in the cover booklet i really understood what it meant | |

| As they took his soul they stole his pride (pride)x3 As he faced the sun he cast no shadow its almost as if somebody stole the man's soul, so when he faces the sun he no longer as a shadow. i mean, what are you without soul? | |
