POST-IT: GLI OASIS SI SCIOLGONO? NO. ANZI, SI




Qualche giorno fa, il Sun, popolare testata inglese, riportava la probabile e prossima scissione degli Oasis a causa dell'ennesima lite tra Liam e Noel, anticipando che il concerto in programma a Milano il 30 agosto sarebbe stato l'ultimo nella storia della band di Manchester. La notizia è stata ovviamente ripresa dai blog di mezzo mondo, salvo poi essere più o meno smentita (l'autorevole The Guardian l'aveva liquidata come "il solito business" dei fratelli Gallagher). Ieri sera, invece, pochi istanti prima di salire sul palco del Rock En Seine di Parigi, i due hanno di nuovo avuto un alterco, questa volta piuttosto violento, venendo persino alle mani. Pare addirittura che Liam abbia distrutto la preziosa chitarra del fratello. Ci sarebbe anche un testimone, la malcapitata cantautrice scozzese Amy MacDonald, anche lei nella line-up del festival parigino, che sulla sua pagina di Twitter ha scritto testualmente: "Oasis cancelled again with one minute to stage time!!! Liam smashesd Noels guitar, huuuge fight!". Fatto sta che, sul MySpace ufficiale degli Oasis è comparso un post, a firma Noel Gallagher, nel quale il musicista annuncia, con tristezza e con gran sollievo, di aver lasciato il gruppo, e che non importa cosa dirà la gente, ma lui semplicemente non può andare avanti così con Liam neanche un altro giorno. Noel inoltre si scusa con tutti i fan che avevano acquistato i biglietti per lo show di ieri a Parigi, e per le date previste per questa sera al Rock Am See Festival di Costanza, in Germania, e per domani all'I-Day Urban Festival di Milano, che a questo punto sembrano definitivamente cancellate. Certo, non si tratta assolutamente della prima lotta interna ai Gallagher Brothers, ma stavolta le cose potrebbero essersi spinte oltre il punto di non ritorno.
Di seguito il testo originale del comunicato pubblicato da Noel su MySpace:

A STATEMENT FROM NOEL

"It's with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer

"Apologies to all the people who bought tickets for the shows in Paris, Konstanz and Milan."

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LOVE SPREADS/THE STONE ROSES





Love spreads her arms, waits there for the nails
I forgive you boy, I will prevail
Too much to take, some cross to bear
I'm hiding in the trees with a picnic, she's over there

She didn't scream, she didn't make a sound
I forgive you boy, but don't leave town
Cold black skin, naked in the rain
Hammer flash in the lightning
They're hurting her again

Let me put you in the picture
Let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister
Ain't no king man she's my queen
Let me put you in the picture
Let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister
Ain't no king man she's my queen

I have a dream, I've seen the light
Don't put it out, say she's alright
She's my sister

She didn't scream, she didn't make a sound
I forgive you boy, but don't leave town
Cold black skin, naked in the rain
Hammer flash in the lightning
They're hurting her again

Let me put you in the picture
Let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister
Ain't no king man she's my queen
Let me put you in the picture
Let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister
Ain't no king man she's my queen

I have a dream, I've seen the light
Don't put it out, say she's alright
She's my sister

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LIVE FOREVER/OASIS





Maybe I don't really want to know
How your garden grows
I just want to fly Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks it to the bone

Maybe I just want to fly
I want to live I don't want to die
Maybe I just want to breath
Maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Maybe I don't really want to know
How your garden grows
I just want to fly Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks it to the bone

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I want to be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
We're gonna live forever
Gonna live forever
Live forever
Forever

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ROCK 'N' ROLL STAR/OASIS





I live my life in the city
There's no easy way out
The day's moving just too fast for me
I need some time in the sunshine
I gotta slow it right down
The day's moving just too fast for me

I live my life for the stars that shine
People say it's just a waste of time
When they said I should feed my head
That to me was just a day in bed
I'll take my car and I drive real far
To where they're not concerned about the way we are
In my mind my dreams are real
Are you concerned about the way I feel

Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star

I live my life in the city
There's no easy way out
The day's moving just too fast for me
I need some time in the sunshine
I gotta slow it right down
The day's moving just too fast for me

I live my life for the stars that shine
People say it's just a waste of time
When they said I should feed my head
That to me was just a day in bed
I'll take my car and I drive real far
To where they're not concerned about the way we are
In my mind my dreams are real
Are you concerned about the way I feel

Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star

You're not down with who I am
Look at you now you're all in my hands tonight

Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star

It's just rock 'n' roll

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING IDLE/OASIS




Diretto da DAWN SHADFORTH

I sold my soul for the second time
'Cos the man, he don't pay me
I begged my landlord for some more time
He said "Son, the bills' waiting"
My best friend called me the other night
He said "Man - are you crazy"
My girlfriend told me to get a life
She said "Boy, are you lazy?"

But I don't mind
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
I'll be fine
If you give me a minute, a man's got a limit
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it

I don't mind
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
I'll be fine
If you give me a minute, a man's got a limit
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it

I lost my faith in the summer time
'Cos it don't stop raining
The sky all day is as black as night
But I'm not complaining
I begged my doctor for one more line
He said "Son, oh words fail me"
It ain't no place to be killing time
I guess I'm just lazy

I don't mind
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
I'll be fine, if you give me a minute, a man's got a limit
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ROLL WITH IT/OASIS





You gotta roll with it
You gotta take your time
You gotta say what you say don't let anybody get in your way 'cause it's all too much for me to take
Don't ever stand aside
Don't ever be denied
You wanna be who you'd be if you're comin' with me
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I'm gonna take me away and hide
I'm thinking things that I just can't abide

I know the roads down which your life will drive (life will drive)
I find the key that lets you slip inside (slip inside)
Kiss the girl, she's not behind the door (behind the door)
But you know I think I recognize your face, but I've never seen you before

You gotta roll with it
You gotta take your time
You gotta say what you say don't let anybody get in your way 'cause it's all too much for me to take

I know the roads down which your life will drive (life will drive)
I find the key that lets you slip inside (slip inside)
Kiss the girl, she's not behind the door (behind the door)
But you know I think I recognize your face, but I've never seen you before

You gotta roll with it
You gotta take your time
You gotta say what you say don't let anybody get in your way 'cause it's all too much for me to take
Don't ever stand aside
Don't ever be denied
You wanna be who you'd be if you're comin' with me
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside (so take me away)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FALLING DOWN/OASIS





A summer sun that blows my mind
Is falling down on all that I've ever known
Time to kiss the world goodbye
Falling down on all that I've ever known
Is all that I've ever known

A dying scream, it makes no sound
Calling out to all that I've ever known
Here am I, lost and found
Calling out to all

We live a dying dream
If you know what I mean
All that I've ever known
It's all that I've ever known

Catch the wheel that breaks the butterfly
I cried the rain that fills the ocean wide
I tried to talk to God to no avail
Calling my name from out of nowhere
I said if you won't save me, please don't waste my time

Catch the wheel that breaks the butterfly
I cried the rain that fills the ocean wide
I tried to talk to God to no avail
Calling my name from out of nowhere
I said if you won't save me, please don't waste my time

Summer sun that blows my mind
Is falling down on all that I've ever known
Time to kiss the world goodbye
Falling down on all that I've ever known
Is all that I've ever known

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SLIDE AWAY/OASIS





Slide away, and give it all you've got
My today, fell in from the top
I dream of you, and all the things you say
I wonder where you are now?

Hold me down, all the world's asleep
I need you now, you knocked me off my feet,
I dream of you, we talk of growing old
But you said please don't

Slide in baby, together we'll fly
I've tried praying, but I don't know what you're saying to me

Now that you're mine
We'll find a way
Of chasing the sun
Let me be the one, that shines with you
In the morning, I don't know what to do
Two of a kind
We'll find a way
To do what we've done
Let me be the one, that shines with you
And we can slide away, slide away, slide away

Slide away, and give it all you've got
My today, fell in from the top
I dream of you, and all the things you say
I wonder where you are now?

Slide in baby, together we'll fly
I've tried praying, and I know just what you're saying to me

Now that you're mine
We'll find a way
Of chasing the sun
Let me be the one that shines with you
In the morning when you don't know what to do
Two of a kind
We'll find a way
To do what we've done
Oh, let me be the one
That shines with you, and we can slide away

Slide away, slide away, slide away, slide away
(And I wanna try now, i wanna make you mine now)

I don't know, I don't care, all I know is you can take me there
(Slide away)
Take me there
