best part of this song is when liam sings the "hey now" part 10 times at the end, and on the 11th time you sing along bc you know thats when the dirty guitar and snare drum starts kickin.
What's the Story was released the year I was born. It's a shame that the great legacy of Oasis is diluted into Wonderwall by most people, as any fan will tell you that there of many other equally good tunes. My biggest regret is not being able to see them live, although I can say that Oasis changed my life.
I had just bought "Morning Glory" a few weeks back but I own other albums by Oasis. With the chorus of this track I went, "Hey that chord structure sounds familiar." So I was going through my memory to see if I could find where I knew it from. And all of a sudden I knew it, Noel used that same chord structure in the chorus for "who feels love"
Noel said in a couple of interviews that this song was the cool one that nobody mentions and damn he was right! Really underrated tune, there's something about it that makes it so soothing and reinvigorating, whenever I heard those lyrics I can't help but realize that time indeed flies and that you gotta live for today and not for yesterday or else you would have spend your whole life trying to figure it out instead of enjoying it.
i wasn't really alive during the 90's, i was too young to remember it. My mom told me that music in the 90's wasn't good. Obviously, that was a lie. I LOVE OASIS.
Probably one of Oasis' most underrated and yet best songs. the lyrics are just amazing. I remember being 9 when the old man first played this for me and I am still in love 13 years later. long live Oasis.
It's 6am and I just got out of the shower, getting ready for work. Ever since I opened my eyes an hour ago, this song was playing in my head. While showering, I was debating what's it about this song...raw lyrics, Liam's voice, Noel's guitar...? Harmony. Madferit.
This song always reminds me of the movie Hellraiser. I got this album listened to it all day then got to see Hellraiser for the 1st time,what a day it was :)
I just wanna write a comment in my favourite song video. I think that it's better than Some might say, Roll with it, or Hello, so, why you didn't play it live? I thought that i heard someone say now, there's a chance for playin' Hey Now, hey now...hey now
Noels writing skills are ridiculously good, this along with many many other b sides and album tracks could easily be released as singles even now and smash the shit that is in the charts nowadays!
top song. im sick of my mates and other knobheads saying this is shite. this song flows perfect and i think it might possibly be liams best vox on the album. the lyrics make me laugh too, very positive.
Great tune, one of my favourites from Oasis. However, and it's probably coincidental, but compare this to 'Nat King Cole - Walkin' My Way Back Home'...
It's a hot summer's day in 1996 and I'm sitting in my living room listening to this after having saved up my pocket money to buy this on cassette on the way home from school... good memories :)
This song is very easily overlooked, especially on this album because of how mellow it sound at first. The more you listen to it, the more powerful it becomes because it solidly illustrates adolescent introversion, disillusion, and overall detachment from mainstream society. It does just what Weezer's "sweater song" does, it highlights the dark side of fame.
@fieldpool I'm not making a list of the greatest songwriters here. That list could go on and on, and of course there will always be great debate about which order is correct. Ultimately there will always be the influence of opinion and personal taste in music even among the greats and the experts no matter how objective you attempt to be. My comment was adressed specifically to one person who was claiming that Liam belongs on that top list which is a bit far fetched, but I see it's been removed.
NOEL Y LIAM SON LOS MEJORES CANTANTES DEL MUNDO DESPUES DE LENNON Y McCARTNEY..........NOEL AND LIAM ARE THE GREATES SONGWRITERS IN THE WORLD AFTER LENNON AND McCARTEY
@alfitagisel I don't know if I would go that far. I would agree with you that Noel is the greatest songwriter in the world after lennon/mccarney, but Liam just hasn't written nearly enough of those top quality amazing songs to be compared with the other three. His voice though was obviously epic.
@pegger18636 ok, but you forget songwriter like Ben Harper, Ray Davies and above all Billy Corgan. This last one is the very best songwriter in the world ...
@11caulfield lol why do people lack any degree of objectivity when it comes to bands they like. I like a lot of bands, but I would never go around making ridiculous claims that have no foundation.
I was 20. Never forget it. Got the album on my birthday. Felt like a special time in my life. Went clubbing for the first time and early next morning i played Champagne supernove in the kitchen while the sun was coming up. A memory i'll never forget.
Who-ever disliked this song must be a modern kid, who Thinks Ndubz are good,and unless the songs got something in it about sex,money or killing its shit.. fuckin hell. This era is fucked up! - Shocking
I never did find my way back - THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE OASIS SONGS, BUT AS MANY OF YOU MAY NOTICE, ALL THE BEST ONE'S ARE UNDER-RATED AND ALL THE NOT SO GOOD ONE'S LIKE WONDERWALL ARE OVER-RATED, - FACT
@StokeySaxon I like Wonderwall, but I agree it's terribly overplayed. Whenever anyone puts on an Oasis song at a party, 99% of the time it's Wonderwall, and 1% of the time it's Don't Look Back in Anger (which I also really like, but still).
I'm always thinking 'come on!! Why not just play the whole first two albums!!'
I still think their debut is better, and the b side album is on par with the quality of morning glory. they had too many tunes at their disposal at that time.
The start of the guitar at 1:00 (1 second before "I thought that i heard someone say now...) ... i get goosebumps everytime when i listen to it... so fuckin underated
best part of this song is when liam sings the "hey now" part 10 times at the end, and on the 11th time you sing along bc you know thats when the dirty guitar and snare drum starts kickin.
