Last week, ex-Oasis singer Liam Gallagher and ex-Stone Roses guitarist John Squire teamed up for a new song, 'Just Another Rainbow'. Now they've shared a video for the song, with the duo performing it in a railway tunnel. There is also a remix of the song by psych band Looking Glass Alice. Charles Mehling directed the video. Check it out below, followed by the remix.

“Just Another Rainbow” is the first taste of a yet-to-be-announced joint album.

Squire had this to say about the song in a previous press release: “To me the most obvious take on 'Just Another Rainbow' is that it's about frustration and the feeling is that you never get what you really want. But I don't like to explain songs, I think that's the privilege of the listener, it's whatever you want it to be. For me, it's also one of the most exciting pieces we've done together, which is weird.”

Gallagher had this to say: “I think John is a master songwriter. Everyone always talks about him as a guitar player, but he's also a master songwriter, man, no two ways about it as far as I'm concerned. There isn't enough of his music out there, either with the Roses or by himself. It's nice to see him writing songs and having a good time. The melodies are great and then the guitars are a given. But I think even when you take all the fucking guitars out, you can play the songs all acoustic and they'll still blow your mind.”

Greg Kurstin produced the song during three weeks of sessions with him in Los Angeles and also played bass on the song. Joey Waronker plays drums on the track.

A 16-year-old Gallagher attended a life-changing Stone Roses concert in 1989, and Gallagher and Squire met four years later when Oasis recorded their debut album in 1994. Sure maybe and the Stone Roses were working on their second album released in 1995, The Second Coming. The two later collaborated on a song for Squire's band The Seahorses, who also supported Oasis, and more recently Squire joined Gallagher on stage at his Knebworth Park show, guesting on 'Champagne Supernova'. which led to them working together at Squire's studio before moving to Los Angeles. to work with Kurstin.

In 2023, Gallagher released the 22 Knebworth live album. He released his third solo album, Come on you knowin 2022. This June, Gallagher will launch “Sure maybe 30 Years', a UK tour in which he will perform Oasis' debut album in its entirety, along with various B-sides from the era.

The Stone Roses reunited in 2011 and played some shows. They released two new songs in 2016, “All For One” and “Beautiful Thing”, but then broke up again before releasing a third album.
