Liam and Noel

Needless to say that the main member of OASIS is Liam and Noel. But it's also famous that they often quarrel. This is because their difference of the consciousness as a professional. Both of them are scathing tongue and saying things without any modesty. But Liam behave more as a professional band man than Liam. Liam often drinks while the gig or acts the gig without the best condition.

Here is the example



Noel often got angry over his attitudes toward the gig. And because of that they were often quarreling. Eventually in 2009, Noel quit the OASIS with massage below

"It's with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.

"Apologies to all the people who bought tickets for the shows in Paris, Konstanz and Milan."

On the other hand, Liam formed the new band "Beady Eye" in 2009 and started to make songs for the first album.

Changes of lirics & singing style of Liam

Noel gradually changes the style of song writing. In early days, he often refer to that they were working class. But as time goes, the lyrics changed from strongly message to the fantasy world.
Here is the example.

"Lyla"(2005)


[Lyric]
Calling all the stars to fall
And catch the silver sunlight in your hands
Come for me and set me free
Lift me up and take me where I stand

She believes in everything
And everyone and you and yours and mine
I've waited for a thousand years
For you to come and blow me out my mind

Hey, Lyla!
The stars are about to fall
So what d'you say, Lyla?
The world around us makes me feel so small, Lyla!
If you can't hear me call then I can't say, Lyla!
Heaven'll help you catch me if I fall!

She's the queen of all I've seen
And every song and city far and near
Heaven help my mademoiselle,
She rings the bell for all the world to hear

Hey, Lyla!
The stars are about to fall
So what d'you say, Lyla?
The world around us makes me feel so small, Lyla!
If you can't hear me call then I can't say, Lyla!
Heaven'll help you catch me if I fall!

Hey, Lyla!...


This PV is also good example of singing style of Liam.
His style of singing is to cross his hands back and bend his upper body to the mike.
He often uses tambourine.

Early music of them

Their early music is much influenced by the fact that they were leading their life as a working class.
Here is the example of that.

Cigarretes&Alcohol(1994)



The lyrics of cigarettes and alcohol

Is it my imagination
Or have I finally found something worth living for
I was looking for some action
But all I found was cigarettes and alcohol

You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
Cos when it comes on top . . .

You gotta make it happen!

Is it worth the aggravation

Cigarettes & Alcohol 歌詞
LoveCMSの洋楽歌詞


To find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?
It's a crazy situation
But all I need are cigarettes and alcohol!

You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
Cos when it comes on top . . .


This song is written by Noel. He often borrows the melody from who the Noel was influenced. In this song, he used the guitar riff from "Get it on" (T.Rex)
