Oasis signed to independent record label Creation Records in 1993 and released their record-setting debut album Definitely Maybe (1994). The following year they recorded (What's the Story) Morning Glory? (1995) with drummer Alan White, in the midst of a chart rivalry with peers Blur. Spending ten weeks at number one on the UK Albums Chart, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? was also an international chart success and became one of the best-selling albums of all time. In addition, it stands as the fifth-best-selling album in the UK and the biggest-selling album in the UK of the 1990s. The Gallagher brothers featured regularly in tabloid newspapers for their disputes and wild lifestyles. In 1996, Oasis performed two nights at Knebworth for an audience of 125,000 each time, the largest outdoor concerts in UK history at the time. In 1997, Oasis released their third album, Be Here Now. It became the fastest-selling album in UK chart history.
Oasis' popularity later declined and McGuigan and Arthurs left in 1999 as Oasis released Standing on the Shoulder of Giants (2000). They were replaced by former Heavy Stereo guitarist Gem Archer and former Ride guitarist Andy Bell. White departed in 2004, replaced by Zak Starkey and later Chris Sharrock. Oasis released three more studio albums, Heathen Chemistry (2002), Don't Believe the Truth (2005) and Dig Out Your Soul (2008). The group abruptly disbanded after the departure of Noel Gallagher in August 2009.
As of 2009, Oasis had sold over 70 million records worldwide. They are among the most successful acts on the UK Singles Chart and Albums Chart, with eight UK number-one singles and eight UK number-one albums. The band also achieved three platinum albums in the US. They won 17 NME Awards, nine Q Awards, four MTV Europe Music Awards and six Brit Awards, including one in 2007 for Outstanding Contribution to Music and one for the "Best Album of the Last 30 Years" for (What's the Story) Morning Glory?. They were nominated for two Grammy Awards.

2 Some Might Say
Oasis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go and tell it to the man who cannot shine
Some might say that we should never ponder
On our thoughts today 'cause they hold sway over time
Some might say
We will find a brighter day
Some might say
(Yeah)
'Cause I've been standin' at the station
In need of education in the rain
You made no preparation
For my reputation once again
The sink is full of fishes
She's got dirty dishes on the brain
It was overflowin' gently
But it's all elementary my friend
Some might say they don't believe in heaven
Go and tell it to the man who lives in hell
Some might say you get what you've been given
If you don't get yours I won't get mine as well
'Cause some might say
We will find a brighter day
Some might say
We will find a brighter day
(Yeah)
'Cause I've been standin' at the station
In need of education in the rain
You made no preparation
For my reputation once again
The sink is full of fishes
'Cause she's got dirty dishes on the brain
And my dog's been itchin'
Itchin' in the kitchen once again
Some might say (some might say)
Some might say (some might say)
You know what some might say (you know what some might say)
You know what some might say (you know what some might say)
You know what some might say (you know what some might say)
You know what some might say (you know what some might say)
You know what some might say (you know what some might say)
You know what some might say (you know what some might say)
You know what some might say (you know what some might say)
You know what some might say (you know what some might say)

The lyrics of Oasis's song "Some Might Say" explore themes of optimism and perseverance. The opening lines suggest that even in the midst of difficult times, there is hope for better things to come. The phrase "sunshine follows thunder" implies that after a period of darkness or struggle, there will eventually be a moment of brightness and clarity. However, the line "Go and tell it to the man who cannot shine" suggests that some people may be unable to see or appreciate this optimism, perhaps due to personal struggles or circumstances beyond their control.
The chorus repeats the idea that there is hope for a brighter future, even if it may not be immediately visible: "We will find a brighter day." This sentiment is underscored by the final verse, which suggests that even in the face of hardship and uncertainty, it is important to keep moving forward and not give up. The final lines of the song, "Some might say...You know what some might say" serve as a kind of mantra, emphasizing the importance of positivity and resilience in the face of adversity.

"Some Might Say"
Some might say that sunshine follows thunder
Go and tell it to the man who cannot shine
Some might say that we should never ponder
On our thoughts today cos they will sway over time
Some might say we will find a brighter day
Some might say we will find a brighter day
Cos I've been standing at the station

Some might say they don't believe in heaven
Go and tell it to the man who lives in hell
Some might say you get what you've been given
If you don't get yours I won't get mine as well
Some might say we will find a brighter day

"Some might say they don't believe in heaven, go and tell to the man who lives in hell" what a focking beautiful line.

@@gibranaditama2256 I mean, it doesn't need to be related to "preaching", for me (example), it's about the hell poor people have to go through while we complain about the little things in life.

American here. My mom took a trip to London in 1996, when i was 1. While there she heard Oasis on the radio. She came back to the states and bought definitely maybe and WTSMG. That along with BHN and the masterplan the next few years were 100% the soundtrack to my childhood. Oasis is the only band I can never get enough of and it’s in my blood. Mad fer it. Thank you mom ❤️
