On This Day In Oasis History...

Lyla is a song by the English rock band Oasis. The song was released on May 16th 2005 as the first single from the band's sixth album Don't Believe the Truth.

The song was written by Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher, who has varyingly described the track as "specifically designed for pogoing", "annoyingly catchy", and the "poppiest thing since Roll with It".

Gallagher says that the song existed in an early form as a song called Sing and dated from the Heathen Chemistry-era. He also says that the title for the final song should have been Smiler, but was changed seeing as guitarist Gem Archer's previous band, Heavy Stereo, also had a song called "Smiler".

Sony's insistence that it should be released as the first single from the album has helped to fuel the tension between the band and their record label, which has led to Oasis not renewing their contract with the record label following the release of Don't Believe the Truth.

Lyla became the band's seventh UK number one when it reached top spot in its first week of release. The song also debuted at #31 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart and has reached #19 since then. It is the first Oasis song to appear on any US singles chart since 2000 when Go Let It Out hit number 14 on the Modern Rock chart.

Noel has also joked with the fact that the Lyla in the song is actually the sister of the Sally mentioned in the Oasis single Don't Look Back in Anger. Also, he had said that the song is a "love song", being about Sally Cinnamon's sister.

Originally claiming that he wasn't very fond of the song, Noel has said that Lyla "isn't even the fifth best track on the album". The song had existed as a demo since the early recording sessions for the album but was all but forgotten until practically the last minute. However, on the Lock the Box feature on the Stop the Clocks, Noel admitted that he "didn't realise how good it was until [we] played it live," and admitted he loved the "guitars, the drums, and the vocals" of the song.



Live performances

When performing on the UK music chart show Top of the Pops, Liam, who was forced to mime to the music, made no secret of the fact, walking away from the microphone with his mouth closed mid-way through lines that he was supposedly 'singing'. It would be Liam's last performance on the programme before its demise in late 2006. However, Noel and the rest of the band would return in August 2005 to perform The Importance of Being Idle and later in 2009 to perform their last ever released single Falling Down.



Lyla was covered by the Foo Fighters during a performance at BBC Studios.

The song is included on Oasis' compilation album Stop the Clocks. It is also included in FIFA 06 as a track.

Is Noel Gallagher Planning On Taking Two Years Off?

Noel Gallagher is planning two years off when he finishes touring with his High Flying Birds, on his wife’s orders.

The musician said that wife Sara wants him to have time at home to be with their children after what will have been a year on the road.

Noel also revealed that he has softened his war with brother Liam.

The pair now communicate through their peacemaker mum Peggy and Noel is back on speaking terms with ex-Oasis bandmate Gem Archer.

Noel, 44, said: “It’s a happy camp at the moment because the record has been really well received. It is selling like hot cakes in England.“We can’t get rid of them fast enough. I did not expect it.

“I’m going to tour the a*** out of it until the wheels fall off. Then I’m going to indulge my wife for a year or two.”

The band will be at this summer’s festivals across Europe before Noel’s break.

Arctic Monkeys: 'We Pretended To Be Oasis In School'

Alex Turner has revealed that he and Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders once dressed up and pretended to be Oasis during school assembly.

In a new interview with US website Pitchfork, Turner reveals that he and Helders performed in front of his primary school, using a tennis racket in place of a guitar.

"So me and Matt and some of our friends put on 'Morning Glory' – we 'played' some tennis racquets and pretended to be Oasis," says Turner. "Matt was Liam Gallagher, he had the bucket hat on. I was the bass player."

He also adds that the performance wasn't as well received as a rival performance by a group of girls pretending to be the Spice Girls, adding: "We were just standing there, doing what Oasis did onstage," he said. "Which was not a great deal. I don't think we got as good a reaction as the Spice Girls."

Alex Turner also names Oasis's 1995 album '(What's The Story) Morning Glory' as one of the records that influenced him as a teenager to pursue a career in music.

"With Oasis, it's just that attitude, like it's resistant against everything else that's going on in music," he says. "I don't know if you can fully understand that - it's like an impulse, innit? Especially at that age, you don't rationalize, you're just like, 'That looks cool.'

"And I feel like that's the ****ing way it should be now, in a way. Guitar music or rock'n'roll or whatever you want to call it sort of goes away with trends, but it'll never go away completely. It can't die because it's so fundamentally attractive."

5-Star Noel Gallagher Told Maroon Where To Go

Noel Gallagher tells a great story about a night in LA when Oasis were recording Dig Out Your Soul.

A musician kept pestering him in a restaurant, saying he was a huge fan. Eventually, Noel told the guy where to go.

The band then went a party in LA. But the same bloke came over and got the same treatment.

Then he reminded them the party was in HIS house.

I met Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine in LA last month and he explained: “That was Mickey Madden from our band. Noel met him and came back to the house and didn’t even know he was in the band.

“Then one of the Gallaghers talked s*** about it.”
