I can't believe this generation of great music is over. It seems like it was just yesterday when I was in grade 7 rushing home to watch the top 30 countdown on muchmusic. Now I could care less about most of today's "popluar" music.
The hype leading up to this album was HUGE. Because everyone was expecting another "What's The Story (Morning Glory?)" So the day of release they sold well over 500,000 copies of it, and over 8 million the first two weeks. But people realized after that it wasn't another WTS(MG) and sales dwindled after that.
Plus it has been said that this is their most drug-influenced album.
you all are such idiots to confirm thats not a pretty green jacket hes wearing in this video this was made in 1997 and his brand didnt come out until like what 2 years ago??? idiots
this may be the same as wonderwall but its a million times better, and before you yanks go and say its not and give it a thumbs down, fuck off and get into oasis instead of just sticking to there most well known song, i started liking oasis for stand by me and never really liked wonderwall
before the song starts there's 45 seconds of feedback, seagull birds and even a airoplane taking off .. only oasis could do that and still end up with a fucking banger of a song .. oasis 4ever (c)
@cill1990 Wrong, My dad's got that jacket. It's A massimo otsi Designed one. it could me: 6876, left hand, or M.A strum. Arn't 100% sure, but i know it's deffinitely a massimo otsi designed one.
This is probably the best Oasis music video! I'm surprized they don't have cooler ones or even creative ones like The Verve or Radiohead do. I guess the Gallagher's didn't care that much for music videos? Maybe they didn't have creative control over them? Who knows!
people people!!! yes its the same chords as wonderwall. but lets be realistic. its impossible to rip your own music off. this song is like wonderwall's cooler older brother. so stop fuck#n analyzin
I am in Vienna having a glass of orange juice and vodka (screwdriver) listening to this song. I love it. Everybody out there I love you, I am feeling a little sentimetal. Cheers from Vienna.
@Sreybk I agree. One could mix this song seamlessly into "Wonderwall". Right after he says, "You know what I meeeean... yeah yeah", then it goes into "Maybeeeee.... your gonna be the one that saaaaaves meeeeee. Then after allllllllll your my......". Perfect.
this is oasis's third best album, with some of their bet songs ever on there. for me, this song defines oasis. so much swagger! seen them 6 times, and cant believe its neva again!
Man this is my fav band of all time and just once i want to see them live in concert!!!! they probably wont come back toronto after what happend....THAT FUCKING GUY WHO HAD TO PUSH NOEL THAT JUST RUINED EVERYTHING... >:(
this is 540fox just on my updated account. I definitely think that Be Here Now was an album ahead of its time and it wasn't ready for the main stream during the time. It's by far my favourite Oasis album at this point in time, although that changes constantly :L
Great song, remember when it was released and having to wait for the CD to come out. That's right, all these kids and the internet, we had CD's back then! And ordering them took a painful period of time.
people critisize it becuase its nowhere near as good as the others, and is the epitamy of liam and noels phase of believed "invincibilty" amidst the drugs
read Don't laugh at this! Just do it Start thinking something you really really want cause this is astounding the person that sent this to me said their wish came true 10 mins after they read the mail so I thought what the heck You have just been visited by DrSuess's Cat in the Hat. He will grant you one wish Make your wish when the count down is over 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 MAKE A WISH Send this to 10 videos within the hour you read this. If you do, your wish will come
HAHA cant believe the album got so much criticism if it was released now by and other band they would become the biggest band in the world but no other band can and thats why oasis are the best band in the fuckin world!!!
im glad u american n north american's like it, however u need to learn Manchester is NOWHERE near London!! Its a 2 hour drive at least and its just as big a place!(well...nearly!)
Easily in my top 10 Oasis tunes...Got 2nd row center tix for their gig in Illinois tomorrow night, hope they play this one, but I'm not expecting it. Long as they play "Acquiesce"...
My fave Oasis track by a fuckin mile and has been for years!!! Hate the way it never gets mentioned anymore and how they NEVER put it on setlists at their gigs anymore, I know Noel hates Be Here Now, but for fucks sake, this is an anthem if ive ever heard one! BEST OASIS TRACK IN THE HISTORY OF THE BAND!!!
I agree with you! One of my favorite Oasis songs, really high up there for me! Noel hates BHN though, thinks it's rubbish! Only got to hear this live once on the tour promoting this album, other than that, just saw them in 3rd December, and definitely did not play this song nor anything off BHN, which I think is my second favorite Oasis album after DM!!
@MattyLaa no, not the best one of the best songs though...no offense, but its not the best. but i can't even name the best, to me, they are all simply awesome.
At this time this song is one of my favourite Oasis songs.... when you're listening to it seems that you're diving in a big music ocean...love it...and great lyrics:)
Nice choppers. Pity we see more of them lying in fields upside down here (IRA Bandit Country). The old tail-rotor is partial to an armour piercing DhSk round, or fifty.
I've never figured out why this album was so slated. It was awesome! And anthemic!! But...sadly, its always linked to the "failure" of Oasis, who havent been able to back up their previous success, and the death of Britpop. Unfair, I say
Never understood what that song talks about, I mean I love Oasis, and I know I'm pretty deep, but sometimes I just lose it! And I can't what he's talking about.. lol, can some1 respond me with explanation? And if some1 really knows about oasis, lol, add me as friend, cause he might become my dictionary.. XD
I've been searching for this song and three others(Elastica - "Stutter" & "Connection" and Republica - "Ready to Go" & bonus find "Drop Dead Gorgeous") for years, and I found 'em all today!!
Dare you to listen to this and not feel a tingling sensation down the back of your neck!
