Anniversary Single ''Stand by Me'' dari Oasis

Kemarin hari anniversary salah satu single Britpop terbaik dari Oasis

Single "Stand by Me" yg dirilis pada tanggal 22 September 1997 yg terdapat di album Be Here Now. Lagu ini diciptakan oleh Noel Gallagher saat dia keracunan makanan yg pertama kali ketika pindah ke kota London dan dia berusaha menenangkan ibunya yg sering menelponnya saat itu. Noel Gallagher berbohong kepada ibunya dgn mangatakan di telpon bahwa dia baik2 saja, padahal habis keracunan makanan. Judul lagu ini sepertinya diambil dari salah satu lagu idola Gallagher bersodara yaitu John Lennon.

Noel Gallagher mencoba membuat musik2 yg dia suka dan diulang2 dan juga terinspirasi dari lagu ciptaannya David Bowie yg berjudul "All the Young Dudes" yg dinyanyikan oleh Mott the Hoople. Video klip lagu ini dibuat 2 versi dan versi akustik sangat disukai oleh penggemar yg mereka bermusik di pinggir kolam renang. Lagu ini cukup sukses dgn berada diperingkat 2 di UK Singles dan peringkat 1 masih dipegang lagu "Candle In The Wind" milik Elton John, lalu diperingkat 48 di Australia dan peringkat 50 di Jepang, tapi di US Billboard tidak masuk dalam chart.

Lirik :

*) intro

Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday, I've...
got a lot of things to learn
Said I would and I'll be leaving one day
Before my heart starts to burn.

(Bridge) :
So what's the matter with you?
Sing me something new ...
Don't you know,
The cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away.....

Times are hard when things have got no meaning, I've....
found a key upon the floor
Maybe you and I will not believe in
the things we find behind the door

kembali ke (Bridge)

(Reff) :
Stand By Me...
Nobody knows, the way it's gonna be (3x)
Stand By Me...
Nobody knows, yeah, nobody knows...
the way it's gonna be

If you're leaving will you take me with you
I'm tired of talking on my phone
There is one thing I can never give you
My heart will never be your home

kembali ke (Bridge) dan (Reff)

The way it's gonna be
Maybe I can see, yeah...
Don't you know,
The cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away....
Hey, heeeyyy....
