Funeral Blues Funeral Blues "Funeral Blues" or "Stop all the clocks" is a poem by W. H. Auden. An early version was published in 1936, but the poem in its final, familiar form was first published in "The Year's Poetry" (London, 1938). The first, and less widely known, version of the poem, written and published in 1936, has five stanzas; the 1938 final version has four. Only the first two stanzas are the same in both versions. The 1936 version was a satiric poem of mourning for a political leader, written for the verse play "The Ascent of F6", by Auden and
Stop the Clocks (song) "Stop the Clocks", which would have been a great title but, because these songs were so new, that song began to feel very old because it was written in 2001. But it will come out eventually." Noel later revealed that part of Oasis' next studio album could include songs which were written for "Don't Believe the Truth" and are, in his opinion, equal to anything on that album, but weren't included on it as they didn't quite fit the feel of the record. However, when the album "Dig Out Your Soul" was released, the song once again was not included.
