Release Notes

‘Well, slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball, what's that mean?' and I went: ‘I don’t fucking know. But are you telling me, when you've got 60000 people singing it, they don't know what it means? It means something different to every one of them"

Written by guitarist Noel Gallagher. It serves as the epic, psychedelic-tinged closing track on (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, which was released in 1995. It quickly became one of the bands signature anthems, often played as a set closer on live shows. 

It was released as a single in the USA on May 13th 1996, the sixth and final single from the album. In the USA it topped the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart, making Oasis's second No. 1 after Wonderwall
