"Whatever" is a single by British rock band Oasis, written by the band's lead guitarist Noel Gallagher. It was released on December 18th 1994 as a stand-alone single bridging the gap between Oasis' debut album, Definitely Maybe, and their second album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory?. "Whatever" entered the UK Singles Chart at #3, their first single to enter the top 5. The strings were played by the London Session Orchestra, arranged by Nick Ingham and Noel Gallagher.
The song joins the infectious pop-rock melodies of Definitely Maybe with the more sophisticated lyrics of (What's the Story) Morning Glory, preaching universal tolerance and the acceptance of all ideas and beliefs in a typically straightforward, Mancunian way. The first lines ("I'm free to be whatever I/Whatever I choose/And I'll sing the blues if I want") may have been Noel's reaction to his father's insistence that he join the building trade.
"Whatever" was released as a contender for the coveted position of Christmas #1, 1994
It is a testament to Noel Gallagher's all-conquering self confidence that he should predict "Whatever"'s success before he was even given a record contract, saying "In the beginning, there was a masterplan, to the extent that I knew that 'Whatever,' one of the first songs I ever wrote, would be a Christmas Top Five hit, but I think anyone who heard the song could have told you that."
When Oasis performed the song for Top of the Pops, they mimed and one of the cello players from the symphony was replaced by Bonehead, who clearly had no idea how his instrument is supposed to be played. Towards the end of the song, he gave up the pretense and started using the bow to conduct. A woman plays his rhythm guitar. The song was introduced by Damon Albarn of Blur who would later famously feud with Oasis. As Albarn introduced the song, the Gallagher brothers made hand gestures behind him, which only served to heighten the feud between the bands.
"Whatever" has been performed live by Oasis many times, sometimes with the ambitious symphony which accompanies the single version, sometimes without. They often end live versions of the song with lyrics adapted from the Beatles song "Octopus's Garden." They have also been known to add the lines "All the young blues....carry the news...", in reference to the Mott the Hoople song "All The Young Dudes". The "blues" are the fans of the Gallaghers' beloved Manchester City F.C.. At their famous performances at Knebworth in August 1996, the song was accompanied throughout by harmonica player Mark Feltham and is generally regarded by fans as one of the highlights of their set.
The B-Sides of "Whatever" were quite famous as well. One of them, "Slide Away" was already featured on their debut album, Definitely Maybe. The other two - "(It's Good) To Be Free" and "Half the World Away" - were later featured on The Masterplan, a collection of Oasis's best b-sides. "Slide Away" and "Half the World Away" would also be featured on Oasis' 2006 "best of" album Stop the Clocks, although "Whatever" itself was not included.
'Whatever' spent a total of 50 weeks in the UK Singles chart, more than any Oasis single to date.

Oasis
Noel Gallagher has revealed that he is planning to complete his third solo album by next June.
The former Oasis chief, who is working on the follow up to 2015’s ‘Chasing Yesterday’ with producer David Holmes, previously said he was hoping to finish the record by the end of this year.
But he has now said he wants everything wrapped up before Glastonbury.
“I think we’re into the home straight now. I’ve been given the deadline which is to have everything finished – mastered, artwork, videos, the lot – done by the time I go to Glastonbury in June,” he told BBC Radio 6 Music.
Gallagher regularly goes to Glastonbury, but he is yet to perform there. He gave no indication that he will be playing at the festival next year.
Of the recording process he added: “All the songs that I was writing towards making a record have not been used because when we decided to make a record with David Holmes the way he works is that all the writing gets done in the studio.
“So I started this record at his house in Belfast. The process is the complete opposite to the way that I’ve always worked. With this, you have no idea what you’ve got until it’s there, and the end results are great because they’re constantly evolving.”
Holmes previously said that “people are going to be surprised” by the “fun” feel of the record.
“It’s going really good,” He added. “We’re a good bit into it now, we’ve got nearly five tracks done now.”
“People are going to be surprised. I think people love Noel and they’re desperate for him to make a really big, bold, uptempo beast of a record – a lot of Noel’s music is quite mid-tempo. This one is quite fun.”
His comments prompted Liam Gallagher to label Holmes a “yes man” and Noel a “potato” before tweeting “FUCK OASIS”.

Emeli Sandé
Noel Gallagher
Noel Gallagher has recalled the sense of shock he felt when he saw Emeli Sandé collect a top songwriting award.
When Sandé’s hit ‘Next To Me’ was named Best Song Musically and Lyrically at the Ivor Novello Awards in 2013, the Oasis man was surprised by the number of people who went on stage to collect the trophy.
Gallagher recalled during a chat with Steve Lamacq on BBC Radio 6 Music: “Eight people got an award for it. Eight people? I was sat there saying to Ray [Davies], ‘How do eight people write a song? If I try to write a song with someone else, it freaks me out.’ I was compelled to go to [their] table and say to them, ‘How have eight of you wrote this song?'”
Gallagher then shared the explanation he was given by the songwriting team: “Well, two of us do the beats, two of us do the chords, two do the lyrics, and then there’s thing called a topliner – do you know what a topliner is? He’s the guy that when they’ve done all that, he sits there… humming the melody and then someone else does the words.”
Gallagher added: “And I’m saying, here’s a question for ya, ‘What’s Emeli Sandé doing when all this is going on?’ ‘Oh, she’s at the White House.’ It blows my mind.”
During the same interview, Noel Gallagher also shared his thoughts on Oasis doc ‘Supersonic’, and revealed that he was asked to appear on two very high-profile BBC TV shows.
Meanwhile, he told NME recently that he is “halfway” into work on his next album and hopes to release it next year.

Steve Lamacq
Noel Gallagher has shared his thoughts on this year’s Oasis documentary film Supersonic.
Gallagher explained that he thinks the film has struck a chord because “it’s all about the glory” of Oasis’s imperial phase and doesn’t delve into the band’s messier later years.
“The thing why people have responded to the film so well is this: it finishes at the right point,” he told Steve Lamacq on BBC Radio 6 Music. “So it doesn’t discuss the long, protracted fall-out, which nobody wants to get into. So it’s kind of this rise to the biggest gigs there ever was at that time. So it’s all about the glory.”
Gallagher added: “I think Liam comes out of it quite well, as some kind of mad drunken mystic from another time. If only that had lasted, you know…”
Gallagher went on to explain that he hopes the film will inspire a new generation of musicians to make guitar music, because it shows what people who form bands can achieve even if they aren’t a “genius”.
He continued: “When I finished watching it and I had to sign off of it, I was saying, ‘Honestly, if this doesn’t inspire people to pick up guitars, I don’t know what will.’ Because no one in that band was a genius – no one, not even me, and I wrote all the songs.
“It’s quite sad in a way because it kind of shines a light on the way the music business was, particularly for guitar music, which hasn’t got a presence on national radio any more. And it makes you feel kind of happy that it happened, but kind of quite sad that it’s not like that any more.”
During the same interview, Noel Gallagher also revealed that he was asked to appear on two very high-profile BBC TV shows.
