Noel Gallagher Song facts Composer Noel Gallagher Album (What's The Story) Morning Glory? Genre Rock Released 1995 UK Chart 1 Admitting to borrowing the music, he hoped it would encourage new listeners to the Fab Four. “I suppose fifty percent of it’s put there to wind people up. And the other fifty percent is saying ‘Look this is how songs like ‘Look Back In Anger’ come about. Because they’re inspired by songs like ‘Imagine’. ..there’s some kid out there will read the interview and say Imagine well I’ve never heard that song. And he might go and buy the album..” A cursory glance at the lyrics sheet leaves you just as confused as Wonderwall but somehow it doesn’t matter. Oasis have way of making you feel you have heard all before, and you probably have if you listen to the Beatles and yet the idiosyncratic Gallagher vocal style and post modern dream like lyrics make the song unique. Three singles came off the What’s the Story, the album also gave us Some Might Say and Wonderwall, as well as the explosive Champagne Supernova and raucous pub rock of Roll With It. A multi platinum album with Don’t Look Back taking no 1 in the UK singles chart in March 1995. Oasis were never better than this. In the studio
