Oasis - 'Stand By Me' (1997)

 

If I had a bucket list, I'd have a few things ticked off by now. Some of those include... Going to Madison Square Gardens and watching live Ice Hockey #letsgorangers. Sleeping with a pop star (see previous post). Learning to Scuba dive...
Back in 1997 I also was able to cross one off of the list. Oasis back were huger than huge... They mahoosive, and word got around that they were filming the video for an upcoming song in my hometown of Feltham. These words were true as they used many of the closed down/boarded up shops in the town centre as mock shops for the video of Stand By Me... Now you cover afficionados might make the mistake that I did in thinking this was a Britpop version of Ben E King's classic, but no, it's the Gallagher's through and through.
On the days that they were filming, I was hard at work slaving away behind the counter of a well known High Street Bank. And if I'm honest you can't actually see me in the video, but at 00:24 the Bank is clearly shown and I was in the Bank. Ergo I was in the video... I rest my case

Oasis - 'Talk Tonight'(1995)

 I saw a picture in the newspaper of this beautiful building and fell in love with it. It was lit up, surrounded by water fountains, and statues and beautifully shaped hedges and I decided I had to see it in real life. Problem was the picture had no caption and I had no idea where it was. A lot of research led me to it. It was in Vienna. Ticket booked for five days. I was happy when I finally found the building, but disappointed that a lot had been covered and boarded up for restoration work. Next time, I reasoned. Five days in Vienna is a long time. I spent many hours in the hotel room, with this song on repeat. Gallagher’s genius song writing at its best: “All your dreams are made of strawberry lemonade…” This song is for A. whom I miss every day. “You and me see how we are.”
