You're Gonna Be The One That Saves Me: The Story of Oasis' 'Wonderwall'

For 15 years, (and up until recently) Oasis were officially
not a band.


In 2009, Noel quit just hours before they were set to play a
festival in France. But back then, everyone just assumed Oasis
would return the next week, hatchet buried, ready to pick up
where they left off; If there’s one thing Oasis were known for it
was regularly being on the brink of imploding.


From the very start, Liam and Noel were always squabbling over
something. Very public spats were just something they did. 


Fast forward to 2025, Oasis are back playing live shows again,
heading across the world on a reunion tour that includes two
shows in Toronto.


Of course, Oasis were known for writing big rock anthems in the
‘90s and 2000s - but there is one song of theirs that was bigger
than the rest: A ballad that has become customary to learn for
everyone that owns an acoustic guitar. I’m talking about
“Wonderwall,” a song Noel Gallagher wrote about his imaginary
friend.


This is the true story of Oasis's Wonderwall
with newly unearthed audio from Noel and Liam Gallagher
themselves.
