‘Songbird’ - Oasis, 2002
A short post today with a link to a sweet song and the second sub-three minute song which will kinda tell you my tolerance level this week for long, complex songs. Songbird is an Oasis song, the first single that was written by Liam Gallagher, and is taken from their fifth studio album Heathen Chemistry. I think if we discussed whether or not Oasis are a great band we could be here till the end of the century because the views on the band are so disjointed. During their time they’ve definitely promoted a great deal of attention which is fair enough in my opinion, all bands want to be heard.
The song was written for Liam’s girlfriend. I’m not going to say a whole lot more about it - you can read more about it here if you’re interested but it does show that the younger sibling has a softer side or he’s just mellowing with age. Probably no coincidence the song is called Songbird considering the Beatles are one of their favourite bands and the song they got called ‘Blackbird’ but then again I may just have too wild an imagination. Anyway here’s a live version .
