An Oasis song that epitomizes ’90s Britpop opens with a strikingly picked guitar that immediately captures the listener and won’t let go.

Its lyrics vividly portray a desperate longing to lean on someone, an unshakable sense of loneliness, and a faint hope that still reaches for salvation.

Liam Gallagher’s vocals—powerful yet tinged with melancholy—delicately express those complex emotions.

Released as a single in October 1995, this classic appears on the landmark album (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, which became a monumental hit in British music history.

In October 2020, it became the first song from the 1990s to surpass one billion streams.

It’s the kind of track that offers a quiet warmth, as if gently staying by your side, when you’re at a crossroads in life or on a night when your heart feels a little weary.

The brothers Liam and Noel are known as die-hard Manchester City supporters, and they were once thrown out of a stadium for causing a disturbance during a match.

It’s a song where the world-weary vocals delivering life-lesson-like lyrics somehow linger in the heart.
