"Setting Sun" is a song by The Chemical Brothers, released as a single in 1996 from their second album Dig Your Own Hole. With vocals by Noel Gallagher, it reached number 1 on the UK Singles Chart.[1] The song has been known to have been played by Gallagher during Oasis's Be Here Now Tour, primarily with just him playing the acoustic guitar and a drone playing in the background. The song was often coupled with the track Fade In-Out from the album. The origins of the song are rooted in Oasis's formative years, whilst playing in the Boardwalk.[clarification needed] The original recording of the song had Liam Gallagher on vocals, and featured slightly different lyrics to that of the final version, but has commonalities with the version played by Noel during live concerts.[citation needed]
