| From the Where2sing.com forum: WHAT’S IN A SONG : An interesting article from NEW YORK Monday 20 Nov 2006 (Reuters):
Rock icons Oasis will release their greatest songs album on Tuesday capturing more than a decade of hits, but the band's main songwriter Noel Gallagher says his best-known tunes are not so great.
For many Oasis fans, three songs : 'Wonderwall,' 'Don't Look Back in Anger' and 'Champagne Supernova' from the blockbuster hit 1995 album '(What's the Story) Morning Glory?' were the defining moments for the band.
For Gallagher, the album was overrated!!
'Morning Glory, I don't think it's the best-sounding record we have ever done,' Gallagher told Reuters in an interview. 'Some of the songs are not as great as people think they are.'
As for the notion that 'Don't Look Back in Anger' and 'Wonderwall' captured the spirit of British optimism of the mid-1990s, Gallagher puts much of it down to timing. 'There was always going to be one defining British album that came out at that time, it just so happened we put ours out at the right time and the songs, being about hope and love, just struck a chord with people,' Gallagher said.
'I don't much like 'Wonderwall', but the effect that song has on people, I can't deny it,' he said. 'Great music is in the ear of the beholder.'
'I still don't know who this chick Sally is?', he said of the heroine in 'Don't Look Back in Anger.' 'I wrote the thing and I don't know what it means, but for some reason, for (fans) it means the world to them,' he said.
'All those lyrics, like 'Champagne Supernova' and that, they were just nonsense. You can think about those lyrics for the next 500 years and they still won't mean anything.'
