Looks like I have nothing to do today, so here's my second post for the day. Don't look back in anger by Oasis, from their hit second album (What's the Story) Morning Glory? The song was written by Noel Gallagher, Oasis's guitarist and main songwriter.
Well, about the meaning of the song, there's lots said and discussed about this song, some say that this song is about not thinking about the past, some say it's to forget the past, but like always, I believe what the songwriter himself has to say about the song.
Noel Gallagher said of the song, "[It] reminds me of a cross between "All the Young Dudes" and [something] The Beatles might have done." Of the character "Sally" referred to in the song he commented, "I don't actually know anybody called Sally. It's just a word that fit, y'know, might as well throw a girl's name in there. It's gotta guarantee somebody a shag off a bird called Sally, hasn't it?"
Noel also accepts that some part of the lyrics are lifted from John lennon, and the opening riff is also similar to John Lennon's Imagine. Noel Gallagher commented on the intro's similarity to "Imagine" saying, "In the case of Don't Look Back in Anger - I mean, the opening piano riff's Imagine. 50% of it's put in there to wind people up, and the other 50% is saying 'look, this is how songs like Don't Look Back in Anger come about - because they're inspired by songs like Imagine'. And no matter what people might think, there will be some 13 year old kid out there who'll read an interview and think 'Imagine? I've never heard that song' and he might go and buy the album, you know what I mean?" Gallagher also admits that he was under the influence of illegal substances when he wrote the song and to this day he claims he does not know what it means.
Alright, so that was about the background of the song, and here are the guitar chords now, very simple and basic chords. I am sure that you would not face any difficulty playing this one.
