I don't even like Oasis that much. I am, however, looking forward to the "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" reissue that should be coming out later this year. "Definitely Maybe" isn't my thing. I've never listened to "Morning Glory" before; I've never been a great a fan of Oasis to actually buy it or even download it without paying, but I know that it contains some of Oasis' best songs and the reissue will probably include the great B-Sides that were recorded during the making of the album. I'm sure it will be worth the wait.
"Don't Look Back in Anger" is a song from "Morning Glory". It was released as the album's fifth single, the band's first to have Noel Gallagher on lead vocals, and got to number one in the charts.
Nothing much else I can say. Well, there's nothing much I can be bothered to say. Whatever I would say has most likely been said before. The song's good. You've all heard it before. It's only like.... one of the biggest anthems out of Britain from the nineties.
OK. So it's 2006. I'm eleven years old and have just started secondary school. But nothing really matters during that time. I could go to school, come back home and watch as much TV or play games on my PS2 for hours on end, without having to worry about anything. No exams. Nothing.
I can't remember the very first time I saw the video for 'Acquiesce'. But I was probably very confused as why it was following a Japanese Liam Gallagher guy practising to impersonate the real Liam Gallagher through karaoke until he finally gets to do the real thing on stage. It didn't make any sense.
Normally at the beginning of a video that showed on MTV2 UK, it would show the artist name, song name, and album name. 'Stop the Clocks' was the name of the new compilation that was coming out at the time. And the video was repeated endlessly on the music channel, and I ended up really liking it. You've got the rare moment with Liam and Noel both at lead vocals, and even though it was because Liam couldn't reach the high notes in the chorus, it stills works really well.
Could you imagine Liam singing it? "'CAUSSE WE BELLLIEEIEEVVEBVEHEEEUH."
No thanks.
But yeah, I didn't have an Oasis album before, so Stop the Clocks was a good place to start.
