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.

Talk Tonight
Oasis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A thousand million miles from home
When something hit me
Somewhere right between the eyes
Sleepin' on a plane, you know you can't complain
You took your last chance once again
I landed, stranded
Hardly even knew your name
I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'Bout how you saved my life
You and me see how we are
You and me see how we are
All your dreams are made of strawberry lemonade
And you make sure I eat today
You take me walking
To where you played when you were young
I'll never say that I won't ever make you cry
And this I'll say, I don't know why
I know I'm leavin'
But I'll be back another day
I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'Bout how you saved my life
(You saved my life)
I wanna talk tonight
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
(I wanna talk tonight)
(I wanna talk tonight)
(I wanna talk tonight)
The lyrics of "Talk Tonight" by Oasis talk about a chance encounter with a stranger who ended up saving the singer's life. The song begins with the singer feeling lonely and far from home, but then something hits him "somewhere right between the eyes," which could be interpreted as a moment of realization or insight. Later on, the singer meets someone who takes care of him and shows him around, even though they hardly know each other. The singer acknowledges that he might hurt this person and leave, but he hopes to come back one day.
The chorus, where the singer repeatedly states "I wanna talk tonight," emphasizes the importance of communication and connection. The singer wants to express his gratitude and maybe even deepen his bond with the person who helped him. The mention of "strawberry lemonade" suggests a childlike and innocent world that the singer wants to immerse himself in, away from the complexities and difficulties of his adult life. The song has a bittersweet quality to it, as the singer is grateful for the moment he's in but also aware that it might not last.

Maybe they are going to release a Deluxe Edition of The Masterplan like they have of Definitely Maybe, (What's the Story) Morning Glory and Be Here Now. I remember reading last year there are more plans for Deluxe Editions of Oasis albums after 'Be Here Now' and with The Masterplan they could make it into a 3CD set and include a lot of the B-sides and rarities it was missing. For example CD2
1) Whatever
2)Let's All Make Believe
3) The Fame
4) Round Are Way
5) (I Got) The Fever
6) Step Out
7) Weight of the World
8) Cloudburst
9) Just Getting Older
10) Alive
11)(As Long As They've Got) Cigarettes In Hell
12) Carry Us All
13) The Quiet Ones
14) Revolution Song
CD3)
1) Lord Don't Slow Me Down
2) See the Sun
3) Boy With the Blues
4) Sad Song
5) I Believe In All
6) Helter Skelter
7) Take Me
8) Flashbax
9) Must Be the Music
10) Pass Me Down The Wine
11) Cum On Feel the Noize
12) Better Let You Know
13) D'Yer Wanna Be A Spaceman
14) Can You See It Now?? (I Can See It Now)
I would buy that and I know a lot of Oasis fans who want a second B-Sides album so making a Deluxe Edition of The Masterplan would be doing that in a way.

Buying original records in Eastern Europe in the 90s was pretty much impossible. First of all, original records were only available in certain shops and second, you couldn't even afford it. So eastern europe was a pirate records paradise 😂
I remember that it was in April when I got my hands on the fake copy of The Masterplan.
The harsh winter was going away and the sun was warming up the earth. I was wearing my new denim jacket as I wandered into the shop and I saw it. I had only heard outtakes of certain songs on MTV. I was so excited. I ran home and I put it on. Oh it was heaven! Talk Tonight was immediately my favourite, along with The Masterplan and Going Nowhere. I played it for days...on and on, before school, after school. Heavenly, magical music. Beautiful times, beautiful life. Pure happiness, innocence and enjoyment.
I'm still trying to rekindle those feelings from those distant times 😢. Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't... but the music is always with me and gives me hope for better days!
I'm thankful that I was alive when the best band in the world was in their prime

I think that’s his gift as a songwriter. He’s able to tap into emotions in music that can’t be said in his normal life. There’s a lot of vulnerability in this song and yet it’s said with words that won’t get you beaten up “I want to talk to night” because he can’t say “I need you”

Sicarius Angelus I’ve watched supersonic twice but Idk what you’re talking about?
@dylanstewart2697
@@conorneary01 he was in America. No one knew where he was he disappeared. He had done crystal meth which fucks you up badly. He went to this woman's house and she took him in for and kept talking to him all night so he didn't do anything. He didn't even remember her name. Or the place. But he remembers her saving him. Pretty deep.
