Oasis Till The End @whatsthestoryrkid - Tumblr Blog

Allegedly, you wrote songs almost as soon as you'd learned your third chord. It's a huge leap from copying to creating. Do you remember when it happened?

I was in my bedroom. Winter time. It went G. E minor, C, D, the basic chords, right, and the chorus was, "And life goes on, but the world will never change". I must have been smoking too much pot at the time. It was, I dunno, just to see if I could do it. After that I wrote about 75 songs no one's ever heard.

Did you think, "Great! I'm a songwriter"?

No. I didn't think anything for years. The second stage for me was when I was about 20. I started playing at parties and they'd go, "Wow (spoken with wonderfully quiet awe on his listeners behalf). You should be a professional." That got me over a hurdle of playing my songs to other people -- nobody actually laughed at me. After that I was out to conquer the world, man.

Always those contradictions, boasting and being shy. Working class lad make-up.

like yes when he released TWO fucking songs about “the cold against my shoulder” Liam must have been the target of the attack and it must have hit the target in devastating proportions and all the sun and star allegory in his solo era was also all about. that… but I sometimes think: what else was there? what of kind of secret metaphors and allegories that we were never privy to were put in those songs??? there is so much we don’t know and considering Noel’s entire solo career is about edging Liam (plus exploring new disco pop realms which I support fully), I think we need to take an even closer look into his solo era lyrics

The Mercury Prize in 1995 isn’t exactly the most famous or infamous of Oasis appearances, nor is this necessarily one of Noel’s most famous quotes (in the face of ‘No, I want MORE!’? ‘fork in a world of soup’? ‘Drugs like a cup of tea’? ‘I’m Irish bc I wake up with a hangover’? No way. ‘We’re not Britpop, we’re universal rock’ doesn’t even touch on the public consciousness to the same extent). All this tells me is Gene, like us, is too well versed in the Oasis lore, to the point where he can quote it on command. Relatable tbh.

Noel: “We’re not Britpop, we’re universal rock”

Gene: “We’re not grunge, we’re universal rock”

when and in what context did he say take me to my brother's arms the people need to know

regarding the song you know we can't go back from the album chasing yesterday:

“I had to change a line in it because there’s a bit that says “take me to my lover’s arms” in the second verse, but initially it had a mention of the word “brother”, which fitted a bit better than “lover” and told the story. But I thought I couldn’t go there because I just don’t want Japanese interviewers and Scandinavians and Germans going ‘You say brother in your song, it’s obvious you love the guy’, and it’s like ‘Oh fucking hell, OK, whatever’.” —noel in an interview with the nme in 2015
