How Don’t Look Back in Anger was written

[@TheWorldisAccessible]

I got really emotional and happy for Noel, hearing about how growing old with his wife gives his life purpose, and then I remembered he's getting divorced.

[@sirmikemurray]

🤣🤣🤣

[@bulja80085]

People can get divorced and still love and respect each other, not every divorce is messy

[@MrCuriocat]

I was one of those first 12,000 people to hear the song at Sheffield Arena. It was my 21st birthday. One of the best days of my life, and obviously this song means a lot to me for that reason. Happy days.

[@akialter]

"Slowly walking down the hall, faster than the cannonball" means absolutely nothing, but induces feelings

[@iaindickson]

Not sure it means absolutely nothing mate.......have you ever been high?? Cos that line perfectly describes it haha. Pretty sure Noel has talked about it

[@spiritbird1366]

It also means that your body is calm but your mind is chaos. Something people with depression or panic disorder can probably relate to.

[@iaindickson]

@@spiritbird1366 it's about getting stoned mate 😂 Noel has spoken about this more than once (think he asked the guy who directed the video to "make a drug video without making it obvious it's a drug video"

Oh he's GREAT at interviews these days.

[@peternoble3691]

Saw a great interview on a guitar pedal show, and it completely changed how I felt about him!

[@signoguns8501]

I think every British person has heard the line "stand up beside the fire place, take that look off your face" at some point or another, from a moody parent or grandparent. And "you might find a better place to play." Theyre relatable images, scenes that EVERYONE experienced during childhood. That might explain why it has such a nostalgic sentimental feel, to millions upon millions of people. Because we all know those lines. We lived those lines.

[@edpaterson3529]

No British person has ever heard 'stand up beside the fireplace' outside of the lyrics of this song. Don't be silly.

[@cozimo64]

@@edpaterson3529 Not word for word, but “stand by the fireplace” to pose for a photo was always a thing because it made a nice backdrop. It won’t be as much of a thing nowadays probably, but even as a 32-year old I remember my grandparents having some of us pose for photos with my cousins for family photos in front of the fireplace.

[@signoguns8501]

​@@edpaterson3529 Not sure how common fireplaces are nowadays, but posing for pictures by the fireplace was a very common thing not long ago. Ive got a few of me and my brothers.

[@cedricwork1670]

@@Jominycrocket0 I'm inclined to agree with Jamie, just as Noel was. They didn't mean anything. You look at them individually, and they don't mean anything. They're just a collage of good lines, but they don't paint any real story except for whatever you ascribe to it. And I think that's actually what I loved about what Noel said here. It was not an extraordinary song, but the people made it extraordinary in the way it brought them together by some sort of force nobody could just conjure. From Noel's perspective, I can't imagine how humbling yet honouring that must feel -- that whatever you did there was something HUGE but you had absolutely no clue or plan to it because you were just being you. That's amazing.

[@Lonewolf__666]

I love Noel’s ambition.. “ we came that close to being as big as the Beatles, but we lost momentum “ respect ✊

[@Givea_shit]

Nah not close Beatles was super huge in US even they haven't been there Once they arrive states it was wild Oasis still struggles with the fan base in US Paul said we r bigger than Jesus I don't think Noel dare said that

[@Lonewolf__666]

@@Givea_shit think it was John Lennon who said we are bigger than Jesus. Or more popular. The Beatles were the Beatles. Oasis were Oasis. Personally I felt John Lennon was the only special one. The rest came along for the ride.. Same as Noel was the only talented one.

[@MorningGlory-uu4hf]

@@Givea_shit That's it mate, they struggled in US, but they got a chance to hit big there but they lost it. Liam went back to UK in the middle of their MG US tour (which would've been very important), they also messed up their MTV Awards presentation and last but not least: Be Here Now wasn't as great as WSTMG (even though I like the album). If Be Here Now were as great as WTSMG, and trust me it had the potential to (b-sides, better production and better length), they would've have been a big hit in US, though I don't think they would be as big as The Beatles, but I think they would've deserrved to be called the 90's Beatles (for its success not music, please don't get it wrong)

[@SuperChrisDub]

Noel is totally right about life. The point is the journey, and if you don't get that, you've missed the point. Even if you get to where you wanted to be, you'll get restless and want to be somewhere else so just enjoy the journey.

I often think the lyrics in D'You Know What I Mean: I met my maker, I made him cry And on my shoulder he asked me why His people won’t fly through the storm I said “Hey, listen up now, they don’t even know you’re born” Is Noel writing about meeting with his dad as an adult.

It's classic song and even though Don't Look Back in Anger is a beloved song, I think it's still underrated and overlooked to degree. There's something about it that just evokes a feeIing and that's what great art does. Always catch myself singing it randomly even if I haven't listed to the recording in awhile

[@3minuteswithMarc]

👌

[@carlcordova2332]

Brothers forever. Sally has a life of her own. Ditto Major Tom.

[@3minuteswithMarc]

Thanks a lot!

[@DonTrump-sv1si]

Usually the best art just comes out of nowhere and the artist is compelled to make it happen; almost as if its being channeled through the artist from some other realm.

[@wizardofods]

I don't really get emotional when watching videos like this but, man...that last interview with Noel talking about life made me shed real tears, bruv. Don't worry about the destination--just enjoy the trip!

[@thegael791]

"Enjoy the scenery on the way" Profound words made a grown man cry.

[@guitar91fly]

Actually made me cry. I think we take life for granted sometimes too much. Fighting with our loved ones, losing our job, stressing for time and space. I think everything we are seeking is within us and these brothers make it possible for us to see that.

[@everythingiseverything6740]

Most amazing experience in Liverpool, late night, drinking binge, after fish and chips, heard the chords to this song coming from across the street in a local pub. I grabbed my girls hand we ran across the street into the bar and the entire pub sang the words to this song. I jumped up on the bench and sang my head off with the crowd. It was a magical zen moment, one I will never forget.

[@gregjones8412]

Noel expressed some of the most meaningful comments ever uttered in this video

[@Thedarkknight2244]

The lyrics and chords give a similar feeling to watching a Dennis villeneuve movie. The editor of his movies calls his images “brain stemmy”. It invokes stimulus at the back of your brain in a way that can’t be articulated with words, but it’s from a place that’s deep and familiar. The flow and vague, yet relatable, lyrics with the notes (I’m not a music theory guy) of the song give those same feelings.

[@3minuteswithMarc]

Amazing, I'm a huge Villeneuve fan, I get what you mean

[@thethrowawaythatstayed7055]

Well it makes me want to cry.

[@stephenstuckey]

I mean lyrics, are supposed to be open for interpretation. I feel like most bands do this. It just sounds cool, it invokes a feeling. Its up to the listener to figure it out. It's poetry.

[@Coddywaffle]

[@flamingjob2]

[@barbztherapy2685]

Remember the first time I ever listened to oasis, had just gotten in the car bout to drive back home from school and was switching through radio stations then I heard about two seconds of a song and my mom turned off the radio and I said "wait what was that song" and she said thats oasis and I said "I love it" and for the rest of the day the song kept playing in my head over and over, it sounded like butter i had never heard a song of such sort that really scratched the itch in my brain.

[@carolinebedford9836]

@barbztherapy2685. That is an absolutely perfect way to describe what oasis tunes does to your brain, it is magical in every way & that will never fade over time.

[@tylerthompson1842]

You’d think that with the reverence they had for the Beatles, and the competitive spirit they had with everyone, they’d use that tenacity they had for fighting each other to keep the band going.

[@developingtank]

You killed it with this one.

[@88rollins]

Oasis is one band that is different than all the others. They tap into a different level of people's emotions and feelings. Noel was correct in the beginning of this video when he said they were nearly as big as the Beatles.

An interesting theory is that it's about when Noel was going to leave Oasis after the Whiskey Agogo gig. He went to stay with a woman he'd met in San Francisco for solace and to escape the band and the press. The woman, Elissa, or something like that, ended up convincing Noel not to throw it all away, and even at the expense of their falling in love with each other, to go and rejoin Liam and the band, and reassured Noel that she would not be angry with him if he did, quoting that she understood his situation and that she would not look back in anger for the time they had together. She also advised him that he did not have to put his identity or who he is in the hands of a rock and roll band - he could rejoin the madness of touring and fame without losing himself. Other songs from this writing period often reflected on the woman he loved who was now 'half the world away', and that she may see him sometimes back in the madness - 'in a champagne supernova in the sky'. In fact the whole What's the Story Morning Glory album reflects this period of Noel's life. The term (What's the story) Morning Glory was the way 'Alissa' (?) would great him if he called her. So... (Drum Roll), this woman is likely to be Sally, even though the original lyric was 'So, sorry can wait'. A happy accident to be sure... But it ties up nicely. Aaaannnnd that's the story (Morning glory).
