Biography

Manchester became the center of the mid-90s Britpop movement thanks to the incredible success of Oasis. Their first two albums, Definitely Maybe and (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, were multi-million sellers that made the swaggering Gallagher brothers the biggest rock stars in the land.

Formed by brothers Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher, they built a formidable live reputation locally after… Read more in Amazon's Oasis Store

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Oasis' best CD singles, June 21, 2006
By S. Zayas (Detroit) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Stand by Me (Audio CD)
"Stand By Me" is, by no means, Oasis' best single track, but the import CD single -- EP if you will -- is fantastic. "Stand By Me," though a bit cliche and overblown (in terms of sound and production) is a catchy, enjoyable tune. It is certainly one of the stronger tracks on the (widely panned) Be Here Now album.

But, if "Stand By Me" were the best song on the CD single, it wouldn't be worth buying. It's not. "(I Got) The Fever" is a solid rock song, with big guitars, powerful vocals, and a catchy, melodic chorus. "My Sister Lover" appears to be about an incestuous relationship. Lyrics aside, like "(I Got) The Fever," it's a hard rocker with a nice hook. "Going Nowhere" is slower Noel-sung song which, in terms of quality, is fairly typical of spare Oasis material. There have been worse songs that have found their way onto albums.

I have a lot of Oasis singles -- maybe all of them -- and this is one of my favorites. Good stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, November 19, 2003
This is just a brilliant, fantastic, great, awsome and marvellous song. I've run out of superlatives to throw at this Oasis tune, my second best from them behind Champagne Supernova (and that is a amazing song). I just love this band. If you've never heard this song before than you are missing a gem.

5.0 out of 5 stars a terrific CD single--Oasis' seemingly magic touch is on full display here, August 9, 2005
Oasis were already legendary by this time for their terrific non-LP b-sides, and by all means, the trend continued with the "Stand By Me" UK CD single. In addition to the great title track, you get 3 additional tracks, all of which are terrific songs written by Noel Gallagher, and of these, only "Going Nowhere" appears on the b-sides compilation "The Masterplan". The rocker "(I Got) The Fever", which somewhat recalls the Happy Mondays' "Kinky Afro", has jangly guitars, a bluesy guitar riff, and neatly switches from minor-keyed verses to a major-keyed chorus. The religion-themed "My Sister Lover" does have noticeably weak and surprisingly simplistic lyrics, but despite this, it's an irresisible rocker with an absolutely larger-than-life sound, with an ultra-distorted fuzzy lead guitar tone from Noel, and superb harmony on the chorus. The disc closes with the breezy, wistful ballad "Going Nowhere" which recalls Burt Bacharach with its electric piano and horn arrangement. For any genuine Oasis fan, this single ranks as a must-have.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of creative energy from Oasis during this time
Looking back, "Stand By Me" was a puzzling choice as a single from the mighty Be Here Now CD, which featured many other songs that were better. Read more
