“Champagne Supernova” by Oasis
Song of the Day
“Someday you will find me,
caught beneath the landslide,
in a champagne supernova in the sky.”
“Champagne Supernova” was written by Noel Gallagher. The 7-minute anthemic song is the last track off of the (What’s the Story) Morning Glory album. The single was released in the US as a “radio single” to great success, becoming the band’s 2nd # 1 single on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. The track also hit # 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Oasis’ 3rd top 40 single according to that chart.
Guest guitar and backing vocals on “Champagne Supernova” were provided by the Mod-Father, and lyriquediscorde favorite, Paul Weller.
It took me a good long while to embrace Oasis. Between the fighting Gallagher’s and an Ex who was obsessed with them, Oasis had left a bad taste in my mouth (and ears, and feelings). But, I got over it. I forgave the dueling siblings.
I got over the Ex-effect on their albums. I realized the songwriter that Noel was, and the harmonies and melodies, and just how sing-a-long-able their music is. I mean, Britpop is one of my all-time favorite musical genres, how could I not embrace their music?
This song, “Champagne Supernova”, I have actually sung myself. Okay, it was in a karaoke bar, and yes, I was surrounded by friends, and strangers who had been drinking, but I still got up there and belted this one out. The coolest part? When the bar all started swaying back-and-forth and loudly singing-a-long.
See, they have that sing-a-long-able quality. They really do.
I hate when an ex-whoever ruins a band! But, happy to hear you were able to take the control back. Did you see that hilarious video of Liam talking about making tea recently? He’s such a shit. It was great.
No I didn’t see it! I would love to see that. Is it on YouTube?
Watch watch!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckUKrUqEesc
Oh my stars!!! HAHAHA Oh, Liam.
“some other little fuckin idiot doing that!” love it!
That’s where I lost it laughing! And then the end, blaming having to make their own tea to the decline of rock. HAHA
YES! And then he called us “fuckers.” So great.
I’ve been listening to “Chinatown” non-stop too & a few other new ones. So happy he’s doing his thing.
