With all this extra home time from the coronavirus lockdown, people are finding the wildest things in their house cleaning.

Take Noel Gallagher, former guitarist for Oasis.

Seems he found a never-before-heard song the band recorded about 15 years ago.

With “infinite time to kill lately,” Gallagher said in a social media post that he’s been going through hundreds of unmarked CDs that have been lying around his house.

“As fate would have it, I have stumbled across an old demo which I thought had been lost forever,” he said.

The song was never recorded in a studio. He said up to now, it’s only been available in a recording from a soundcheck made at a concert in Hong Kong.

And so, Gallagher shared the formal demo of “Don’t Stop.”

The band, known mostly in the United States for their 1995 hit “Wonderwall,” broke up in 2009. Tension between Noel and his brother Liam, the band’s frontman, has kept any reunion hopes dashed.

Who knows what else this pandemic might bring for fans.

Still, Noel, who currently plays with Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, wished everyone good cheer.

“Hope everyone is staying safe and trying to ride out the lockdown with the minimum of fuss,” he posted. “You’re welcome by the way.”

Uh, thanks, Noel.
