Here are some soul-stirring masterpieces by Oasis, the rock band that Britain proudly claims.

With the commanding vocals and melodies crafted by the distinctive Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, paired with lyrics that resonate deeply.

Their songs—singing of life’s joys and hopes, love and loneliness, and at times even brotherly love—continue to captivate hearts across generations.

This is a signature love song by Oasis that was also used in a famous movie.

The moment the intro starts and Liam’s vocals come in, you’ll know it’s an inspiring, wonderful track.

It’s especially popular with women, so it’s a must-listen for couples who might not be familiar with Oasis.

It’s the first single from their last album.

They came to Japan at the time and performed live on a certain music program; the playing wasn’t the best, but I vividly remember how the audience was incredibly hyped.

The drum solo in the latter half is striking, and it’s a classic with a strong rock flavor.

The structure in which Liam and Noel share and sing each other’s parts is especially rare among Oasis songs, resonating like a symbol of brotherly love and unity.

Released in 1995 as the B-side to Some Might Say, the track won overwhelming support from devoted fans and was later included in the 1998 B-sides compilation The Masterplan.

It has also been featured across various media, including the film Goal! and appearances on television programs.

It’s a song I highly recommend when you’re struggling with relationships or want to feel a bond with someone.

This is the title track included on Oasis’s third album, “Be Here Now.” It’s also a distinctive song with the unusual backstory that Noel Gallagher of Oasis wrote it while on vacation with Johnny Depp and Kate Moss.

The song also draws on the rhythm of the Rolling Stones’ “Honky Tonk Women.”

Half The World AwayOasis

This is a Britpop classic distinguished by its gently penetrating melody and the calm tone of an acoustic guitar.

Setting itself apart from the powerful sound typical of many of Oasis’s signature tracks, Noel Gallagher’s delicate vocals earnestly sing of liberation from the everyday.

Released to the world in December 1994 as the B-side to the single “Whatever,” the song was later chosen as the theme for the popular British sitcom The Royle Family, capturing the hearts of many viewers.

It was included in the 1998 B-sides compilation album The Masterplan, and in 2015 it was featured in a Christmas commercial for the department store John Lewis, bringing renewed attention.

Beloved by many music fans as a song to listen to when the heart is weary or on a quiet night alone, it continues to be cherished.

HelloOasis

The first track of their second album—which is also their best-selling—is this “HELLO.” It might be the song that the most people have listened to.

Since it’s the opening track, I think I listened to it quite a lot myself.

Noel’s guitar in the latter half is great, and it’s a memorable song for me.

Put Yer Money Where Yer Mouth IsOasis

A soul-stirring track woven by uniquely weighty twin vocals.

Featured on the album “Standing on the Shoulder of Giants,” released by the Gallagher brothers in February 2000, the song reflects influences from ’70s and ’80s rock while showcasing innovative sound design.

Its experimental approach—effectively incorporating drum loops and synthesizers—was a bold step that signaled a new frontier for Oasis.

Created after the establishment of their own label, Big Brother Recordings, the work carries a profound message that questions the weight and responsibility of words.

It topped the UK Albums Chart and became a major hit, selling over 310,000 copies in its first week.

The passionate guitar sound and powerful melody are sure to be a strong ally when you’re at a crossroads in life or need to fire yourself up.
