While Liam's vocal is amazing, it does dominate the song (rightly, in my opinion). But as a result, and the fact that there are sub-par versions being performed around the world every hour, Wonderwall routinely gets dismissed as overly simple as well as being overplayed. It is actually something of a modern musical masterpieces, and I say that without a hint of irony! Even the basic rhythm guitar is a masterclass in playing rhythm guitar. It drives the entire song, and yes - it's only four chords, but it's concise strumming and it does what all expert acoustic rhythm guitar parts should do - highlight particular notes and subtleties within those chords while carrying the song. The lead guitar - specifically the arpeggio on the bridge - is not only beautiful, but technically brilliant. It's quite loose - and basically he's just hammering notes and strings of the same chords as the rhythm guitar - but it varies each time and is one of those hidden intricacies that display the brilliance of Noel Gallagher (besides crafting timeless songs from timeless chords). Lastly, the bass and drums. I'm not sure if it's Guigsy playing or if Noel chipped in again, but its easily the nimblest bass playing on any Oasis song and, while staying with the general rhythm, it also bounces all over the place to great effect. Lastly, Alan White has played an absolute blinder. Just listen to the drum track alone - you can tell he's trained in jazz. It's partly or perhaps wholly improvised, with supreme use of ghost notes, and again - as intricate as any Oasis song or indeed any chart hit in 1996. Add in those haunting viola, cello and piano parts and you have one of the most beautiful pop/rock songs of all time - and this is all without that astonishing vocal and melody!
dave790 I'm so glad somebody finally has said it. Wonderwall is dismissed as an overplayed song when it's legitimately beautiful composition wise. The final part of the song where the piano kicks into full force with the rest of the instruments is probably my single favorite piece of music of all time. I adore Wonderwall as a song so much, it's my absolute favorite song and I think it's legitimately gorgeous and the instrumental absolutely proves that. On a side note though, the haunting cellos (which are actually probably my favorite part of the whole composition when it comes to the instruments) isn't actually a cello at all! It's a mellotron!
This song inspired me to learn playing guitar. Probably the best song of the last 25 years; at least it is, for me. You know a song is iconic when its instrumental is even better than the studio version.
For you of course. Cos oasis has 10 songs better than Wonderwall. Live Forever, don't look back in anger, Slide Away, the Masterplan, supersonic, Acquiesce Whatever,Listen up, Columbia,gas panic, cigarettes and alcohol. Oasis is more than Wonderwall Even Wonderwall is a great song but definitely life Forever is their best work

"Wonderwall" Today is gonna be the day That they're gonna throw it back to you By now you should've somehow Realized what you gotta do I don't believe that anybody Feels the way I do about you now Back beat, the word is on the street That the fire in your heart is out I'm sure you've heard it all before But you never really had a doubt I don't believe that anybody feels The way I do about you now And all the roads we have to walk are winding And all the lights that lead us there are blinding There are many things that I would Like to say to you But I don't know how Because maybe You're gonna be the one that saves me And after all You're my wonderwall Today was gonna be the day But they'll never throw it back to you By now you should've somehow Realized what you're not to do I don't believe that anybody Feels the way I do About you now And all the roads that lead you there were winding And all the lights that light the way are blinding There are many things that I would like to say to you But I don't know how I said maybe You're gonna be the one that saves me And after all You're my wonderwall I said maybe You're gonna be the one that saves me And after all You're my wonderwall I said maybe You're gonna be the one that saves me You're gonna be the one that saves me You're gonna be the one that saves me
Sing the lyrics to Jumper to this. I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend, You could cut ties with all the lies, that you've been living in, And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand. I would understand. The angry boy, a bit too insane, Icing over a secret pain, You know you don't belong, You're the first to fight, You're way too loud, You're The flash of light, on a burial shroud, I know something's wrong,
Well today was the day that i thought you'd taken me back again Should have known, that even tho the sex is great, that theres some things said where you cant take away the pain So here i sit with a bottle remembering those days when it was good before our ways ruined all of our days and created all of this hate so now we cant even talk for a minute without needing a fuckin break cant look at each other without it all getting in the way gotten to the stage where your face just makes me wanna nail the next little thing that shows her face so i dont remember your face that night in the hail because ive never seen a woman look so beautiful as that time the weather did its damndest to fucking screw up our night when we were stuck miles away from any lights and it was just you and me and what we might have been and we found that little bnb and just fell into each other and it felt right do you remember that night where those stars above might have just been fucking right and we had nothing but ourselves. Does the memory weaken the walls Does it break down the hate that came so late And make you wanna just fucking go irate When you realise what we wasted. Does the memory weaken the walls Does it break down the hate that came so late And make you wanna just fucking go irate When you realise what we wasted... and theres no reclaiming this shit
Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you By now you should've somehow realized what you gotta do I don't believe that anybody, feels the way I do about you now Backbeat the word was on the street that the fire in your heart is out I'm sure you've heard it all before, but you never really had a doubt I don't believe that anybody, feels the way I do about you now And all the roads we have to walk are winding And all the lights that lead us there are blinding There are many things that I would like to say to you, but I don't know how Because maybe You're gonna be the one that saves me And after all You're my wonderwall Today was gonna be the day, but they'll never throw it back to you By now you should've somehow realized what you're not to do I don't believe that anybody, feels the way I do about you now And all the roads that lead you there were winding And all the lights that light the way are blinding There are many things that I would like to say to you, but I don't know how I said; maybe You're gonna be the one that saves me And after all You're my wonderwall I said; maybe You're gonna be the one that saves me And after all You're my wonderwall I said; maybe You're gonna be the one that saves me You're gonna be the one that saves me You're gonna be the one that saves me
Lyrics I'm a puppet on a string Tracy island, time-traveling diamond Could a shaped heartaches Come to find ya fall in some velvet morning Years too late She's a silver lining lone ranger riding Through an open space In my mind when she's not right there beside me I go crazy 'cause here isn't where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can't help myself All I wanna hear her say is are you mine? Are you mine? Are you mine? Are you mine? I guess what I'm trying to say is I need the deep end Keep imagining meeting, wished away entire lifetimes Unfair we're not somewhere misbehaving for days Great escape lost track of time and space She's a silver lining climbing on my desire And I go crazy 'cause here isn't where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can't help myself All I wanna hear her say is are you mine? Are you mine? Are you mine? Are you mine? And the thrill of the chase moves in mysterious ways So in case I'm mistaken I just wanna hear you say you got me baby Are you mine? She's a silver lining lone ranger riding through an open space In my mind when she's not right there beside me And I go crazy cause here isn't where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can't help myself All I wanna hear her say is are you mine? Well are you mine? (are you mine tomorrow?) Are you mine? (or just mine tonight?) Are you mine? (are you mine tomorrow?) (Or just mine tonight?)
Today is gonna be the day that's is gonna be the day that's is gonna be the day that's is gonna be the day that's is gonna be the day that's is gonna be the day that's is gonna be the day that's is gonna be the day that's is gonna be the day that's is gonna be the day that's is gonna be the day that's is gonna be the day…
