Oasis were an English rock band formed in Manchester in 1991.
They were originally known as the Rain before evolving into Oasis, and
initially consisted of Liam Gallagher(lead
vocals, tambourine), Paul Arthurs(guitar),
Paul McGuigan(bass
guitar), and Tony McCarroll(drums). Upon
returning to Manchester, Liam's older brother Noel(lead
guitar, vocals) joined as a fifth member, finalising the band's core line-up. During the course of their
existence, they had various line-up changes, though the Gallagher brothers
remained as the staple members.
Oasis signed to independent record label Creation Records in 1993 and released their record-setting debut album Definitely Maybe(1994).
The following year they recorded(What's the
Story) Morning Glory?(1995) with drummer Alan White,
in the midst of a chart rivalry with Britpop peers Blur.
Spending ten weeks at number one on the UK Albums Chart,(What's
the Story) Morning Glory? was also an international chart success, and became
one of the best-selling
albums of all time. In addition, it stands as the fifth-best-selling album in the UK,
and the biggest-selling album in the UK of the 1990s.
The Gallagher brothers featured regularly in tabloid
newspapers for their disputes and wild
lifestyles. In 1996, Oasis performed two nights at Knebworth for an audience of 125,000 each night, the largest outdoor concerts
in UK history at the time. In 1997, Oasis released their third album, Be Here Now;
becoming the fastest-selling album in UK chart history. However, its popularity declined
quickly.
McGuigan and Arthurs left in 1999 as Oasis
released Standing on
the Shoulder of Giants(2000). They were replaced by
former Heavy Stereo guitarist
Gem Archer and
former Ride guitarist Andy Bell.
White departed in 2004, replaced by Zak Starkey and later Chris Sharrock as touring members. Oasis released three more studio albums, Heathen Chemistry(2002), Don't Believe
the Truth(2005) and Dig Out Your Soul(2008). The group abruptly disbanded
after the departure of Noel in August 2009.
As of 2009, Oasis have sold over 70 million
records worldwide. They are among the most successful acts on the UK Singles Chart and Albums Chart, with
eight UK number-one singles and eight UK number-one albums. The band also
achieved three platinum albums in the US. They won 17 NME Awards,
nine Q Awards, four MTV Europe
Music Awards and six Brit Awards,
including one in 2007 for Outstanding Contribution to
Music and one for the "Best Album of
the Last 30 Years" for(What's the Story) Morning Glory?. They were
nominated for two Grammy Awards.
Don't Believe the Truth is the sixth studio
album by English rock band Oasis. It was
released on 30 May 2005 by Big Brother
Recordings. It reached number one in the UK Albums Chart with first week sales of 237,865, and is the 32nd fastest selling
album ever in the UK. The album entered the US charts at number 12, with 65,000
copies sold in the first week, the highest any Oasis album had reached there
since 1997's Be Here Now,
although its chart stay was brief. Don't Believe the Truth went triple platinum
in the UK in the first week of 2006 (900,000+ sales), and in the US has sold
more than 200,000 copies.
As with the previous album, Don't Believe The
Truth had significant writing contributions from members other than chief
songwriter Noel Gallagher, and the album is the first where all duties were
divided between the band members. On some of the tracks regular bass player Andy Bell handled guitar, while Gem Archer and Noel Gallagher contributed bass to other songs. Don't Believe the Truth is the
first Oasis record to feature the drumming of Zak Starkey, an
auxiliary member of Oasis, who performed and toured with them following the
departure of longtime drummer Alan White,
and appeared on the DVD praising all members' contributions. The album received positive
reviews from critics, and many cited it as Oasis's best album in a decade.
Liam Gallagher also had a larger impact on the album through his developing
songwriting. Noel
has said that the album is his favourite of Oasis' last four, because all
members contributed to it. This, he claims, has given it a different feel from
a typically Noel-written Oasis album.
The band embarked on a massive worldwide tour
that started off at the London Astoria for their Don't Believe
the Truth Tour, visiting 26 countries and
playing to 3.2million people at a total of 113 concerts. This resulted in the
making of Lord Don't
Slow Me Down, a film later released on DVD. To
date, the album has sold more than six million copies worldwide.
One, two, three, four
Who kicked a hole in
the sky so the heavens would cry over me?
Who stole the soul from the sun in a world come undone at the seams?
Let there be love
Let there be love
I hope the weather is
calm as you sail up your heavenly stream
Suspended clear in the sky are the words that we sing in our dreams
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Come on baby blue
Shake up your tired eyes
The world is waiting for you
May all your dreaming fill the empty sky
But if it makes you
happy
Keep on clapping
Just remember I'll be by your side
And if you don't let go, it's gonna pass you by
Who kicked a hole in
the sky so the heavens would cry over me?
Who stole the soul from the sun in a world come undone at the seams?
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love.
