Both interpretations are somewhat true, but you won’t find much ambivalence or (that essential Nineties quality) irony in Faster Than a Cannonball. Although Jones throws in a few sceptical voices, a quote from Blur’s Alex James captures the doggedly celebratory tone: ‘What a totally, utterly brilliant decade. It was certainly a time of peace and prosperity, and fun, when lunches lasted for days and Britain, particularly London, led the world.’ Hooray! Jones was a senior editor at the Sunday Times Magazine in 1995 and seems to have hung out with all of his interviewees, making the interstitial passages a kind of stealth memoir about his adventures with the glitterati. I’m glad he had a wonderful time, but even as someone who was twenty-one then (and whose retrospective essay about 1995 is quoted in the foreword), I grew weary of being told what bliss it was in that dawn to be alive.
Oasis – Champagne Supernova Lyrics | Genius Lyrics
Tristan from Bangor, WalesChampagne = Cocaine. It's simply a song about being off one's head. Hence the nonsensical lyrics at the start. Diablo from Ipswich, Englandthe line 'slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball' is an oxymoron and if you don't know what that means then you have no right to complain about crap lyrics. I belive this line to be very effective. The band went into the studio with a shitload of great Noel-written songs and a ton of raw energy. For all that, they couldn’t get that raw sound they got on stage and eventually wound up playing “live” in the studio. Michael from Henderson, NcOn Wikipedia it stated that Noel said, "I still dosen't know what it is about, but I think it might be about Reincarnation." This isn't really that far fetched because a line of the song reads, "Dream a dream she never dies." Alot of people who believe in reincarnation, see death it as the soul "changing cloathes" as opposed to unbelievers seeing it as living no more. Again this isn't too farfetched because in their song "who feels love" it uses the indian hand drumb the tabala and some of the guitar rifts sound like sitar. "The hindu Times" also has guitar rifts that sound like a sitar, and the obvious refrence to Hinduism in it's tittle. These three lines are admittedly more difficult to analyse than the previous bits: obviously he is consulting-- or asking her to consult -- the source of something; "her", perhaps the source of his inspiration, the subconscious part of his mind that produces these lyrics, "and ask her why": attempt to decipher the true meaning of the song, of if he (Noel) or she is interested in truly understanding its purpose.]
6 ‘Supersonic’
David from Tobyhanna, Paoh and i fogot to ad that he also says but you and i will never die... adding to my supernova idea. it also sounds like he said cause people beleive that there gonna get away from the sun. but i could be wrong. Mark from Perth, AustraliaI was listening to a Velvet Underground song called 'Oh! Sweet Nuthin' of their 1970 album Loaded, and champagne supernova sounds quite a bit like it. Same solos or something. Anyway both great songs, especially this one. Originally there were two works-in-process titled ‘Blue’ and ‘The Mirror And The Razorblade’, which would later be amalgamated to become the title song of Oasis’s second album. Noel has previously stated that the song is about taking drugs with your friends, solving all the world’s problems, then waking up the next day with a massive hangover. The music video was made by legendary director Ridley Scott’s son Jake. Noel suggested the Foo Fighters ripped off the concept when they filmed ‘Monkey Wrench’. Although she does not try to seem so magnificent/intelligent, "Slowly walking. . ." it comes out anyway-- however slow she may be, she is still "faster than a cannon ball" by comparison to those around her.] Rahul from Ottawa, CanadaStop comparing Oasis to the Beatles for God's sake. It's just a ridiculous comparison. Both bands are legends in their own right.
faster way to make cannonballs There needs to be a faster way to make cannonballs
How many lives are living strange`= People live different lives depending on the roles they play. Mothers/Fathers who are raising children most times live differently then single folks. The single folks might feel the parents life is strange and vice versa. It doesnt make either one of them wrong or right, it just makes it different. Perhaps Gallagher's logic is simply posing that fact that there are people out there living their lives the way they choose thouch society might think it 'strange'Gerard from Honikiwi, New ZealandThis is a brilliant song. If it is in fact, about anything in particular I'd suggest estrangement or death due to celebrity excesses: "Where were you while we were getting high," from Noel Gallagher, could only possibly be about drugs. "Champagne supanova" is poetic for party, and "in the sky," could only be heaven, "caught beneath the landslide" means crushed the pressures of life. "How many special people change" is obviously about how fame changes you. "slowly walkin' down the hall [??of fame???], faster than a cannonball" is just being numb, surreal, quite possibly drugged out....
Champagne Supernova – Oasis
It doesn't; a cannonball shot straight up will be deflected due to the Coriolis force. The effect is small in most everyday-life scenarios, though. This acceleration is directed along the equator, to the west, so it will push the cannonball westward before it lands. How far westward? Well, we can integrate the acceleration to get the velocity: Nikki from Tampa, Flalthough this song has many drug references; it is simply a metaphor for the different classes of people and how they interact with one another---and what the world and their values mean to one another. certain persons are trying to be a part of other peoples lives that are not similar to theirs; and they are hoping for a small chance of unity or forgiveness. If the defining narrative of Nineties culture was the journey from tremendous optimism and underdog creativity to excess and disappointment, then neither book completes the picture: Brooke-Smith downplays the good times while Jones minimises the crash. Still, one can’t help but share Finneas’s yearning for a decade when it was reasonable to feel that today is brilliant and tomorrow will be even better. ‘The sense of possibility in the nineties was really important,’ Steve McQueen tells Jones. ‘It was only a moment, and it didn’t last for long, but it was important all the same.’ For People Who Devour Books
5 ‘Live Forever’
Olivia from Perth, AustraliaI read a recent interview with Noel + Liam in an Uncut magazine, and Liam says that Champagne Supernova is about drugs. Noel also says that he never worries/thinks about the lyrics, they're not as important as the music to him, except for songs like "Live Forever"
