Be Here Now was a commercial failure, sure it was overblown, completely coked out, and in some cases lyrical trash.... But isn't most real Rock N Roll like that?
i like certain bands for different reasons, Kasabian for their perfect production and crazy songs, arctic monkeys for their style and lyrics, but with oasis its just the perfect package for me, perfect guitar, perfects singing, just perfect
If they ever come back together, and start playing the chord progression acoustically, everyone's going to yell Wonderwall. But true fans are going to yell 'D'you know what I mean?'!
Fuck.. Since I got into Be Here Now Ive always liked this tune. but I never thought there would be some point in lyrics.. Now I listened those Im starting to see the light of it.
This is Oasis at their best live I think. Theres something about the sound here they just cant seem to recapture anymore. Guigsy, bonehead and Alan White added so much more than they were given credit for.
this song is top 3 oasis of all time for me.its out of this world,i love at 4.34 where liam closes his eyes and floats away coz he knows whats coming up....24 seconds of what music is about.best band ever,honest music
Most of the lyrics here are about the Gallagher's father, blood on the tracks and it must be mine and coming in a mess going out in style are reference, to him being a drunken alcoholic who went awol for days at a time then use to come home pissed out of his head and beat up Noel & Liam (plus their other brother Paul)
Noel has never admitted to the lyrics being about this but that's what I think he is referring to.
@Crab1943 I heard it 'Coming in a mess going out in style' is a reference Noel made about the whole bands rise to fame, rough mancunians becoming rich and godly XD
When you "meet your maker" it means you've met someone who will beat you at what you think you're best at. So, if you get too big for your boots someone might say "you'll meet your maker soon".
What Noel's saying is he met his "maker" but beat him instead of his maker beating him. I think it's a cool lyric, like most of them in this song
I agree, man...a lot of people doesn't like Be here now, but for me they are very stupids, they not really like Oasis!Be here now is a fuckin' great album, and that's all!
in my opinion, i think the reason noel doesnt like be here now because it represents a dark time for the Band. It was a time filled with drug use and fights amongst the band.
haha wreeecked!! fuckin wicked no music like this anywhere anymore an probably never will be ever again........fucking geezers in my opinion!!..........
4:34, sends a shiver
