Oasis - Some Might Say (Official video, Knebworth 8/11/1996, MetLife Stadium NJ 8/31/2025, Noel on the song, demo)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Some_Might_Say

"Some Might Say" is a song by the English rock band Oasis. It was released by Creation Records as the first single from their second studio album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? (1995), on 24 April 1995. The song was written by the band's lead guitarist Noel Gallagher. "Some Might Say" provided Oasis with their first number one on the UK Singles Chart and reached the top 10 in Finland, Iceland, Ireland and Sweden. ...
The planned promo video for the song was cancelled due to Liam not turning up for the shoot. Instead, a makeshift video was created using footage from the "Cigarettes & Alcohol", US "Supersonic" and UK "Whatever" videos.














From Wikipedia, about the demo below:

"Some Might Say" was one of three songs from (What's the Story) Morning Glory? for which Noel Gallagher recorded a demo (the others being "She's Electric" and "Hey Now!" ). He recorded it in July 1994 at Maison Rouge Studios, during the recording of the single "Whatever" with producer Owen Morris, who was at the time in Wales recording The Verve's A Northern Soul album; Noel used The Verve's equipment in the studio, playing guitar, the bass and the drums himself. However, no parts from the demo were eventually used in the album version; Noel played the demo to the band who then re-recorded everything, speeding up the tempo.[3] The demo version of the song lasts 6:33 while the final version is 5:26 long.

Noel Gallagher says he prefers the demo version of "Some Might Say" to the final version, describing the demo as "dirtier and sleazier" than the Oasis version which is "more Britpop".[4] The demo version was later released as a bonus track on the Japanese CD single.

This is a really good prep for seeing the boys live - to get an idea of a history as well as the words. 👍👍
