Oasis was one of the defining bands of the 1990s Britpop movement, known for their raw attitude, working-class swagger, and arena-filling anthems. Formed in Manchester in 1991 by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, the band quickly rose to fame with their debut album Definitely Maybe, which became the fastest-selling debut in UK chart history at the time. Oasis became famous not just for their music, but also for their volatile sibling dynamic, headline-grabbing feuds, and bold claims—Noel once declared they were bigger than The Beatles. Despite lineup changes and eventual disbandment in 2009, their influence endures, with hits like “Wonderwall,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” and “Champagne Supernova” still beloved today.
One of their earliest and most enduring songs, “Live Forever,” came from their 1994 debut album and marked a turning point for the band. Written by Noel Gallagher, the track stood in stark contrast to the grunge-era cynicism dominating the early '90s. With lyrics full of defiance and hope, “Live Forever” was an anthem of resilience and a belief in something more than the bleakness of everyday life. Its soaring chorus and jangly guitars captured the optimism and ambition that would come to define Oasis at their peak. More than just a fan favorite, the song helped cement Oasis as a band with staying power—and one that wasn’t afraid to dream big.
