Live Forever

Roger Greenway, Bill Backer and Billy Davis.

Anyway, their third single, Live Forever, was their first enter the top 10 of the UK singles chart, and Live Forever is awesome.

Live Forever-

Uh

... which Noel Gallagher claims, he's like, "Yeah, then I just sat down and wrote it, and it was great." And it was like- [laughs]

Come on

... like in like half an hour he's like, "I just wrote Live Forever, and it's a great song, and I did it." That's Noel Gallagher.

[laughs]

You can have one song in your camera roll for the rest of time.

Is that song Wonderwall? Don't Look Back in Anger, Rock and Roll Star, Live Forever, or for many people, the moment of the 2025 gigs, Little by Little.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Which is the shortest, because I haven't got much data.

I used all of mine up on Richard Ashcroft, so I left when Oasis came on last time at Wembley.

So Matt, would you film Wonderwall, would you film Don't Look Back at Anger, Rock and Roll Star,

Live Forever or

Little by

Can you give us a guess one at a time? What have you got?

So I have Live Forever.

Peace.

Great choice.

Sure.

Mm.

Does Live Forever make it in the top 10 list?

It does.

So anyway, all to say Oasis was one of these bands that got famous because they actually wrote really great kinda classic rock tunes, kind of beautifully catchy and melodic tunes.

They had songs like "Wonderwall" and "Live Forever" and "Don't Look Back in Anger." Um, and again, just, just bands that j- just they knew how to write a classic chorus, right? You, they used the classic chord changes, you know, the melodies that were all just, they got stuck in your head and they were, you know, they kinda had that mixture of melancholy and euphoria.

Again, the way all good pop songs should be.

Um, I'm not here to give you a lesson on pop songwriting.

But until Liam or No- Noel sang as well, but until Liam's voice, he was the, he was the primary lead singer.

Until his voice like hits the tracks, they, they sound, they sound like nothing, which again, sounds very harsh.

I don't mean it to, to be harsh 'cause I'm-- I actually like Oasis, right? Because again, you listen to a song like "Live Forever," and it's like, I don't know, it's like one of the greatest pop songs ever written.

But musically, there's nothing to it.
