More about "Don't Look Back in Anger"
Noel Gallagher was so excited about the potential of the song when he first wrote it that he used an acoustic set to perform a work-in-progress version, without the second verse and with a few other slight lyrical differences, at an Oasis concert at the Sheffield Arena on 22 April 1995. He said before playing that he'd only written it the previous Tuesday (18 April 1995) and that he didn't even have a title for it yet. Noel Gallagher said of the song, "It reminds me of a cross between "All the Young Dudes" and something the Beatles might have done." Of the character "Sally" referred to in the song, he commented, "I don't actually know anybody called Sally. It's just a word that fit, y'know, might as well throw a girl's name in there." He explained the song by saying, "It's about not being upset about the things you might have said or done yesterday, which is quite appropriate at the moment. It's about looking forward rather than looking back. I hate people who look back on the past or talk about what might have been."
In August 2007, Gallagher told Uncut magazine, "We were in Paris playing with the Verve, and I had the chords for that song and started writing it. We were due to play two days later. Our first-ever big arena gig, it's called Sheffield Arena now. At the sound check, I was strumming away on the acoustic guitar, and our kid (Liam) said, 'What's that you're singin'?' I wasn't singing anyway, I was just making it up. And our kid said, 'Are you singing, 'So Sally can wait'?' And I was like-that's genius! So I started singing, 'So Sally can wait.' I remember going back to the dressing room and writing it out. It all came really quickly after that." Gallagher claims that the character "Lyla", from Oasis's 2005 single, is Sally's sister. In the interview on the DVD released with the special edition of Stop the Clocks, he also revealed that a girl approached him and asked him if Sally was the same girl mentioned in the Stone Roses track "Sally Cinnamon". He replied that he had never thought of that, but thought it was good reference anyway.

Lyrics:
Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen
Slowly fade away
So I start a revolution from my bed
'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside, summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out
And so Sally can wait
She knows it's too late
As we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say
Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows
If it's night or day
But please don't put your life in the hands
Of a rock and roll band
Who'll throw it all away
I'm gonna start a revolution from my bed
'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside 'cause summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
'Cause you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out
And so Sally can wait
She knows it's too late
As she's walking on by
My soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say
So Sally can wait
She knows it's too late
As we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say
So Sally can wait
She knows it's too late
As she's walking on by
My soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
I heard you say
At least not today

I've been playing this song for 25 years and I've never heard a better rendition than this. My hat's off to you sir, well done.

[@chicagomusicexchange]

Thanks you!!

[@pvictormesquita]

someday in the future youtube will recomend this video and it will blow the internet up

[@chicagomusicexchange]

We hope so!!

[@johnkennethcorteza4877]

Saw the whole video of him having to own his dream guitar. Man literally was in tears. One down on his bucketlist

[@garfmaul3327]

Loved the improvised drum fill ! Sweet playing , was a joy to watch and hear .

[@adrechsel]

Air drums! 😂

[@fabiorosa62]

Man... 4 minutes and twenty-two seconds of pure marvel. Nathaniel does give himself to playing. It is visible. Congratulations! I really enjoyed a lot.

[@chicagomusicexchange]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!!

[@RaymondwLin]

It's magical watching you play, I see movements but no idea how the sounds and music are coming out. Just so good!

[@chicagomusicexchange]

Thanks!!

[@thympanu]

So smooth..so accurate..love this

[@christophercolling9392]

I reckon Noel Gallagher will be here in the comments somewhere asking for tabs for this 🎸

[@karenpapoyan4163]

Can anybody explain why this video doesn't have at least a couple million views?! 🎉❤ Hands down the best cover ever!!!

[@d00b22]

This guy is so underrated. I mean why he's not a guitar hero or something ? easily one of the very best I ve watched since the last 2O years... his rendition of 'crazy little thing Called love" ... speelech, really. Extremely talented and ofc a lot of hard word. Keep on the great job 👏

[@chicagomusicexchange]

We will let him know your kind words! Check out our playlist with all of Nathaniel's videos - kzbin.info/aero/PLdJNAByAv7xPc_U4KLZyO_S7kvaHpvpR7 Thanks for watching!!

[@samlibar6469]

Zeppelinbarnatra is a guitar hero. Underrated but still a guitar hero and highly respected by the whole community. We all love this guy.❤️

[@dbo4506]

Guitar hero…? Confusing comment. Hendrix, slash, Clapton, Hetfield, Mayer, Rory Gallagher, Page and so on. He’s not in that conversation for playing a nice cover 😂

[@samlibar6469]

@@dbo4506 - I think you misunderstood something. Slash, Clapton and Company are moreover Gods or Legends. A guitar Hero is beneath that my friend. The terminology was right, don‘t worry. :)

[@ryanstalks3709]

I really wish noel would let him play a whole acoustic show with him. Nobody plays acoustic oasis quite like him its truely the greatest

[@FlagadaJohn]

OMG, epic! That drum fill was hilarious 😂

[@OrthodoxyChronicles]

Flawless playing... flawless piece of kit. What a great guitar. Noel wouldn't dare put his name on it if it wasn't.

[@lanceconnolly3954]

I can't get enough of his playing but seeing him play OAsis, his all time favroite band, was just F'ing Brillaint! Thanks.

Unreal. Genuinely baffled by how good that is!

Beautiful guitar and great guitarist Thankyou

[@ChiliPumpTheFunk]

Always a joy to watch you play

[@sleepwalkerdee]

this made me an oasis fan.

[@pjakobsen]

Great cover, super well done! Re. the title, I had the displeasure of opening for Oasis in a band I played in in the early 90s. They were an arrogant group of drunk cocaine enraged blue collar lads class lads spoiling for a fight and constantly threatening to beat us up. That had us locked in our chill room as soon as we got off stage. Luckily we had kind security guards working the venue who helped us bolt with our gear and faces intact. Don't look Back in Anger is thus the ultimate ironic title for me.

Great stuff, Nathaniel. Simply adorable 🤗

[@chicagomusicexchange]

Thanks so much!

[@1BlackParade]

Unreal mate. Fucking unreal.

Sad Physical things Sally got wings and she’s learning to fly. I worked with a guy who thought these were the words to the song lol. Beautiful guitar and some nifty playing on and around those F and C chords. Proper strumming guitars Gibson make.
