Oasis of childhood years

If your a kid growing up from the 90's, for sure you'll know this song by the Gallagher brothers Liam and Noel in their band Oasis ' Champagne Supernova ' who wouldn't? tell me really? then you must be a dork! haha kidding though funny I grew up knowing only one song from this awesome band from Manchester (yup you guess it right) Wonderwall. I guess I lost nearly half my childhood not knowing much about Oasis though you can't blame me though cause I was only about 6 or 7 years and I wasn't paying much attention to the rock scene then.
Champagne Supernova gives me that relaxing feeling of being back in those days when guitars ruled the world and not hiphop, or that feeling of wanting to follow the footsteps of your favorite rock stars (or bands in the case). The lyrics itself makes me feel as if i'm in a state of nostalgic drunken revelry induced by a mind affecting lyric-drug. 


Maybe it's just the effect of feeling getting older and not being able to have achieved one of the deliverables you promised yourself. Like setting your path yet you strayed far away from your intended destination. Frustration suddenly kicks-in to me because I have given up so many of my goals in life. 


I know I have given up on my dream a long time ago yet I really don't know why I still keep looking back at that fertile green land in the middle of the desert. It's perhaps I have left something there or perhaps something is calling me back there. 


The memories perhaps?


I can't post the youtube MTV of Champagne Supernova due to the owner disabling embeds by request, here's a link though if you really want to listen to it

Lyrics -

How many special people change?
How many lives are living strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?

Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?

Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky

Wake up the dawn and ask her why
A dreamer dreams, she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from your eye

Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?

Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova
'Cuz people believe
That they're gonna get away from the summer

But you and I will never die
The world's still spinning around we don't know why
Why-why-why-why-i-i

As seen in the movies


Not a new shoot, rather a backlog of photos I still have to send to Edge Mangahas (hehe if you're reading this edge sorry for the much delay).
