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.

It's Better People
Oasis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause livin' your life can be tough
It's better people, speak to each other
Your shame is not enough
If everybody came alive
And stayed alive
And lived their lives instead, yeah
And feel the light
It's cold inside
But it's lonely in your bed, in your bed
And you though we might be
But what you heard before
Was only sleepin' in your brain
But if you came with me
The days'd never end
Would never be the same
They'd never be the same
They'd never be the same
Never be the same
It's better people, love one another
'Cause livin' your life can be tough
It's better people, speak to each other
Your shame is not enough
If everybody came alive
And stayed alive
And lived their lives instead, yeah
So come outside
And feel the light
It's cold inside
And it's lonely in your bed, in your bed
And you though we might be
But what you heard before
Is sleepin' in your brain
But if you came with me
The days'd never end
Would never be the same
They'd never be the same
This is goin by a different name
They'd never be the same
The song "It's Better People" by Oasis is a call for unity and love among people. The lyrics emphasize the struggles of living life and how it can be tough to get through it alone. The first two lines of the chorus, "It's better people, love one another, 'Cause livin' your life can be tough," highlight the importance of coming together and supporting one another during difficult times. The phrase "Your shame is not enough" suggests that isolating oneself and hiding their true emotions is not enough to overcome their struggles.
The song also encourages people to break out of their comfort zones and experience life to the fullest. The lines "And you thought we might be, But what you heard before, Was only sleepin' in your brain" suggest that the listener may have had preconceived notions about the possibilities in life which they are yet to discover. The lyrics "So come outside and feel the light, It's cold inside and it's lonely in your bed, in your bed" further emphasize the importance of taking action and not remaining in a state of inaction.
Overall, "It's Better People" is a message of hope, encouraging people to love and support one another and to pursue life with an open mind and heart.

And despite what you might have assumed
But what you heard before
What you thought you knew before
Is sleepin' in your brain
Is merely a memory
But if you came with me
But if you joined me
The days'd never end
Life would be more fulfilled
Would never be the same
Life would change for the better
This is goin by a different name
A new chapter in life is beginning
They'd never be the same
Life would forever be changed

It's better people love one another
서로 사랑하는 사람이 더 나은 사람이에요
'Cause livin' your life can be tough
당시의 삶을 살기는 너무나 힘겹기때문에
It's better people speak to each other
서로에게 이야기하는 사람이 더 나은 사람이에요
Your shame is not enough
당신은 부끄러움은 충분하지않아요
If everybody came alive
만약 모든 사라들이 활기차다면
And stayed alive
그리고 그렇게만 살아간다면
And lived their lives instead, yeah
그들의 삶을 살아가는 것 대신에 말이죠
So come outside
그러니 밖으로 나와요
And feel the light
그리고 빛을 느껴봐요
It's cold inside
안은 추운데다
And it's lonely in your bed
당신의 침대는 외로우니까요
In your bed
And you thought we might be
당신은 우리가 당신이 전에 들은 걸 알거라고 생각해요
But what you heard before
그건 당신의 머릿 속에
Is sleeping in your brain
잠들어 있는 것에 지나지 않아요
But if you came with me
하지만 당신이 나와 함께라면을거예요
The days'd never end
이 날들은 끝나지 않을거예요
Would never be the same
같지 않을거예요
They'd never be the same
같지 않을거예요
They'd just go by a different name
그들은 같지 않을거예요
They'd never be the same
같지 않아요

I remember the thrill of hunting around for Oasis singles. As an American Oasis fan, you had to get them as imports, and they were hard to come by. This was obviously before you could buy them online. Certain stores would have some and then other stores miles away might have another one. It was like searching for treasure and was always exciting to hear the incredible B-sides which were as good, if not better than most other bands’ A-sides.
@Marathon97
Yes! The only single I came across was Wonderwall. I was full on learning how to play guitar in 1995. Cut my teeth on those tunes. Played Talk Tonight and Rockin' Chair at my future wife's birthday party/1st blind date way back in 2000.
A friend of mine who also played music couldn't stand Oasis. I took a lot of heat! Played him the I Am The Walrus cover and he came over to my side just a tiny bit.
I wore that single out.

Hey there! Is Oasis big in japan? Oddly enough, I'm a wee bit curious about it.

I feel like every song you write speaks to me. I am glad Oasis is here because this matrix wouldn’t be the same.
