Heathen Chemistry

Product Information

When I was a teenager surfing the Oasisinet.com message boards I met a woman in her twenties from Buenos Aires. I lied and said I was also in my twenties, and we managed to bridge the language gap enough to become internet friends. I thought she was the coolest person ever. I had somehow managed to miss Slide Away on Definitely Maybe (I was early into my Oasis-listening career at the time) and she turned me onto it. It was her favorite song. I wonder what she’s up to these days.

One of Noel’s favorite songs- and this time he’s not just saying it because he’s on a promotional cycle. This one was called the best song of 2005 by Q Magazine.

First off the album's production is less than admirable it's bland and sounds murky just like Liam's voice, which had taken a toll from excessive touring and drinking. Liam at times (despite his vocals ) is the saviour his elegantly simple : Songbird shows that when the brothers aren't feeling the pressure and are focusing they can make an awe inducing tune . Born on a different cloud is one of the few non-singles I like it's mostly John Lennon and Beatles song titles cobbled together to make a meaningful song topped of with the minimal approach to the guitars and driven by the piano. Alright, I might catch some flak for this, so let me say with certainty: Any of the top three songs could occupy this spot, or hell, even a handful from the top 15. But I believe this isn’t just the best Oasis song ever, it’s one of the best songs ever period. It’s some kind of dreamy anthem that transcends music. Every moment is precious. It captures a feeling in a way that’s never really been put to tape. Heathen Chemistry was recorded between 2001 and early 2002 and is the first Oasis album to have significant writing contributions from members other than chief songwriter Noel Gallagher. Front man Liam Gallagher contributed three songs, and new bassist Andy Bell and rhythm guitarist Gem Archer contributed one song each as well. [5]

I’m just gonna rip this off Wikipedia: “Upon first hearing the song, the man who discovered the band, Alan McGee, boisterously claimed that the song was ‘one of the greatest social statements of the past 25 years.’” And uhh yeah, he’s not wrong. Perfectly encapsulating disenfranchised youth, it scratched a cultural itch to just come out and say it: In a post-Thatcher UK, drinking and smoking was way better than chasing runaway capitalism. The defining advice Oasis could give, but unfortunately could not follow. If one band captured youthful exuberance in a bottle, it’s Oasis. “Stay Young” - if only it were that easy. The band’s name was taken from Swindon Oasis Leisure Centre in south west England, a clothes shop in the Manchester Arndale shopping center called Oasis, and a taxi rank round the corner from where they lived. Liam Gallagher told NME in 2013: “It meant that we were out there, because we were different. It was a s–t name.” a b Collis, Clark (August 2002). "Oasis: Heathen Chemistry". Blender (8): 120.
