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.

Oasis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you shoulda somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do, about you now
Backbeat, the word was on the street
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I
Would like to say to you but I don't know how
'Cause maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you're my wonderwall
Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you shoulda somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do, about you now
And all the roads that lead you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I
Would like to say to you but I don't know how
I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you're my wonderwall
I said maybe (I said maybe)
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you're my wonderwall
I said maybe (I said maybe)
You're gonna be the one that saves me (that saves me)
You're gonna be the one that saves me (that saves me)
You're gonna be the one that saves me (that saves me)
The song "Wonderwall" by Oasis is a nostalgic, yearning love song that is universally hailed as a timeless classic. The lyrics conjure up a past love that has never truly been forgotten, despite the passing of time, and reflect the desire to rekindle that love. The song is built around a simple, yet effective chord progression and features the unmistakable singing style of Liam Gallagher.
The opening lines of "Today is gonna be the day, That they're gonna throw it back to you" suggests that the singer is at a point in his life where he is ready to confront the past and perhaps try to reconnect with an old flame. The chorus repeats the phrase "Wonderwall", which acts as a metaphor for the person who is seen as a potential savior, the one who can make everything right again. The line "I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now" is especially poignant, as it highlights the idea that no one else could possibly understand or relate to the depth of his emotions.
Line by Line Meaning
Today is gonna be the day
Today could be the day of a big change in your life
That they're gonna throw it back to you
That someone is going to give you a chance to show who you are
By now you should've somehow
At this point, you should have already understood what you need to do
Realized what you gotta do
Understood what you have to do to move forward
I don't believe that anybody
I think that nobody else
Feels the way I do, about you now
Feels the same way I do about you right now
Backbeat, the word was on the street
There's a rumor going around
That the fire in your heart is out
That you've lost your passion
I'm sure you've heard it all before
I bet you've been told this many times
But you never really had a doubt
But you've always been confident in yourself
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
The paths we have to take are not straightforward
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
The opportunities that come along can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate
There are many things that I
There are a lot of things that I
Would like to say to you but I don't know how
I want to tell you things but I struggle to express them
Because maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
Perhaps you will be the person who helps me when I need it most
And after all, you're my wonderwall
Ultimately, you are the one who keeps me safe, and who I rely on
Today was gonna be the day
Today should have been the day that changed everything
But they'll never throw it back to you
But that chance won't come around again
By now you should've somehow
At this point, you were supposed to have realized
Realized what you're not to do
Understood what actions to avoid making progress
I don't believe that anybody
I do not think that anyone
Feels the way I do, about you now
Has the same kind of feelings as I do right now
I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
I only hope that you will be the one to help me find my way
And after all, you're my wonderwall
The one person I rely on, who protects and shields me from life's troubles
You're gonna be the one that saves me
I believe it's you who can help me when I most need it
You're gonna be the one that saves me
I still believe that you will help me when I need it

@mordiger
when they were children they use to write words or songs on a wall in their bedroom. they use to call it their "wonderwall".
@ROCKSOLID19
It is impossible to get bored with Oasis. I can listen to them all day, everyday. The only band that achieves this for me, I hope its the same for you.
@hopebgood
A timeless classic that will live on for decades.
