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.

Must Be The Music
Oasis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And then when I tune in I think no that's not the way
Sometimes I listen to what people have to say
And then when I tune in I think no that's not the way
It must be the music
It sounds so confusing
It must be the music
It must be the music
It sounds so confusing
It must be the music
Making me satisfied
Sometimes I listen to what people try to say
And then when I tune in I think no that's not the way
Sometimes I listen to what people have to say
And then when I tune in I think no that's not the way
It must be the music
It sounds so confusing
It must be the music
That's opening my eyes
It must be the music
It sounds so confusing
It must be the music
Making me satisfied
The lyrics of "Must Be The Music" by Oasis reflect a feeling of confusion when trying to make sense of the world and the opinions of others. The singer admits to listening to people's thoughts and ideas, but ultimately rejecting them as not being the right way. However, there is something that helps them make sense of things and find satisfaction, and that is music.
The repetition of the lines "It must be the music" emphasizes the importance of this art form in the singer's life. Music is portrayed as a tool that has the power to open their eyes and provide clarity in a confusing world. It becomes a source of comfort and fulfillment, giving them the satisfaction they need.
Moreover, the use of the word "tune in" suggests that music is a medium of communication that allows them to connect with their true selves and with others. The lyrics imply that music has a universal language that can bring people together and help them overcome their differences.
Overall, "Must Be The Music" can be interpreted as a tribute to the power of music, which can serve as a guiding light in the midst of confusion and uncertainty.
Line by Line Meaning
Sometimes I listen to what people try to say
I occasionally take heed of others' words
And then when I tune in I think no that's not the way
Yet upon careful consideration, I find their message unsatisfactory
It must be the music
The explanation for my state is likely the rhythm and melody
It sounds so confusing
The auditory stimulus perplexes me
That's opening my eyes
But it has the effect of expanding my perspective
Making me satisfied
Actually, it leads to contentment and pleasure
