Oasis’s gemlike masterpieces. Soulful vocals woven by the Gallagher brothers.

The Shock Of The LightningOasis

Oasis – The Shock Of The Lightning (Official Video)

It’s the first single from their last album.

They came to Japan at the time and performed live on a certain music program; the playing wasn’t the best, but I vividly remember how the audience was incredibly hyped.

The drum solo in the latter half is striking, and it’s a classic with a strong rock flavor.

AcquiesceOasis

Oasis – Acquiesce

The structure in which Liam and Noel share and sing each other’s parts is especially rare among Oasis songs, resonating like a symbol of brotherly love and unity.

Released in 1995 as the B-side to Some Might Say, the track won overwhelming support from devoted fans and was later included in the 1998 B-sides compilation The Masterplan.

It has also been featured across various media, including the film Goal! and appearances on television programs.

It’s a song I highly recommend when you’re struggling with relationships or want to feel a bond with someone.

Be Here NowOasis

Oasis – Be Here Now (album version)

This is the title track included on Oasis’s third album, “Be Here Now.” It’s also a distinctive song with the unusual backstory that Noel Gallagher of Oasis wrote it while on vacation with Johnny Depp and Kate Moss.

The song also draws on the rhythm of the Rolling Stones’ “Honky Tonk Women.”

HelloOasis

Oasis – Hello (Official Lyric Video)

The first track of their second album—which is also their best-selling—is this “HELLO.” It might be the song that the most people have listened to.

Since it’s the opening track, I think I listened to it quite a lot myself.

Noel’s guitar in the latter half is great, and it’s a memorable song for me.

Stop crying your heartOasis

Oasis – Stop Crying Your Heart Out (Official Video)

Oasis, from Manchester, England.

As a band representing Britpop and rock, they became popular in the 1990s.

This song, released in 2002, is a ballad included on the album Heathen Chemistry.

Fucking in the bushesOasis

Snatch Soundtrack – Fucking In The Bushes – Oasis

An instrumental track that’s rare for Oasis, with a highly impressive intro where a huge groove swirls.

Since there are no lyrics, the guitar riff is very simple, but it’s super cool, right? The bending section where the tension gradually ramps up is the kind of playing that would make any guitarist think, “I want to try playing that myself!!” By the way, the spoken lines that come in partway through are said to be sampled from the documentary The Isle of Wight Festival.

Sunday Morning CallOasis

Oasis – Sunday Morning Call (Official Video)

A song written by Noel Gallagher, with him on lead vocals.

It was the first track where he sang lead instead of Liam Gallagher.

The music video was inspired by the film “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and was filmed in an old psychiatric hospital in Vancouver, Canada.
