Here are the points:

1. "Love" is directly mentioned twice in the chorus (Love is a time machine / Up on the silver screen / Its all in my mind / Love is a litany /
A magical mystery / And all in good time)

2. The lyrics are full of metaphors about falling or being in love: "I'm all over my hearts desire", "I feel love in the shock of the lightning", "I fall into the binding light", "I can't stop flying", "My head's in the clouds"

So, basically, the "Shock of the Lightning" is when a feeling hits you like a bag o bricks or something? Nice way to sing about love in a 150% rock n roll way!

This all is very surprising, because Oasis don't have a lot of love songs in their catalog (Slide Away, She's Electric, Stand By Me, Who Feels Love, Songbird, She is Love, Love Like A Bomb, Let there Be Love, some others) - which is good, because they sing about 1000000 other important subjects overlooked by the majority of musicians

Do you agree with this interpretation? If you don't, how do you understand TSOTL's lyrics (although I understand that there's no particular strong meaning behind it)?

It sounds like it's about when you first meet a girl that you're really fucking into.

Noel said Lyla is about Sarah, and it wouldn't surprise me if this was as well.

Or even, as he's said before the songs are about his "Psychedelic Trips Of A Younger Man"... if they're about when he met his first love?

Don't know.

Not sure how much I care either, it's a fucking great song though.

as compared to, say, the Beatles, or the industry average, they don't (which is good - on grounds described above)

Shoutbox

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

colincarrot: Hello! I'm new here and looking to download Liam Gallagher bootlegs from here and found this thread here - forum.live4ever.uk.com/thread/86703/liam-gallagher-tour-2017-2018 - with a list of concerts but if I click on any of the links... (1/2) Sept 23, 2024 10:47:13 GMT -5

colincarrot: ...it says I don't have permission to access this thread, maybe it's because I only joined today but I'm not sure what to do, could somebody help or know what to do?

mimmihopps: colincarrot, the thread is still active, but you do need to log in to access to the thread as it's in Sound & Vision board. Hope it helps. Sept 24, 2024 4:26:30 GMT -5 *

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5

Bonehead's Barber: Why has the banner gone black? Oct 11, 2024 12:36:27 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Halloween theme I reckon bonehead's barber Oct 13, 2024 14:08:59 GMT -5

Bonehead's Barber: spooky! Oct 17, 2024 8:13:01 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Well my Halloween theory might not have been true... I wish the banner came back in its original form
