Faster Than A Cannonball: 1995 and All That

Product Information

If we shot a cannonball weighing 10 kg at an initial velocity of 200 m/s (still subsonic, but definitely a respectable speed for a cannonball) straight up at the equator, the magnitude of the Coriolis force on the cannonball would be I think they were the right band at the right time. Some decent tunes. Swagger. Attitude. They appealed to a particular audience. That whole cultural impact thing. Noel unveiled the song when the band were touring Europe in November 1994. He explained in 2006: "Just before we went in to record Morning Glory, we were sat on the tour bus in Germany. We'd got to the hotel early, so we sat in the car park.

Adam from Jersey, United KingdomNo offense to anybody, but I feel you guys are trivializing the song when you say "It's just about drugs". To me, at least, it's clear there's something far more to this song than just "O' I woz off me head mate an' there's now't you can do about't". I personally can't discern what it's about, whether it's life or their father or whatever, all I know is that it's 15 years later and this song still stirs something up deep down inside of me. This isn't a song you listen to, boys and girls, it's a song you _experience_. Tristan from Bangor, WalesChampagne = Cocaine. It's simply a song about being off one's head. Hence the nonsensical lyrics at the start. Craig from Scotland, United KingdomAlot of people, including me, think this song is about their father, who walked out on them when the were boys, and the result it had on their lives. Noel had an impressive criminal record by the time he was in his teens and had been using drugs. The line "Where were you when we were gettin' high?" is a challenge to there father. There’s been some stupid right wing propaganda – I’ve been reading things about how the last election (in NZ and USA, they were around the same time last year) was the last chance to stave off socialism. I’d argue that both governments are fine, but way too centrist and need to push left to deal with crises.Gerard from Honikiwi, New ZealandThis is a brilliant song. If it is in fact, about anything in particular I'd suggest estrangement or death due to celebrity excesses: "Where were you while we were getting high," from Noel Gallagher, could only possibly be about drugs. "Champagne supanova" is poetic for party, and "in the sky," could only be heaven, "caught beneath the landslide" means crushed the pressures of life. "How many special people change" is obviously about how fame changes you. "slowly walkin' down the hall [??of fame???], faster than a cannonball" is just being numb, surreal, quite possibly drugged out.... The next time you’re on a bus, in a car or on a plane, toss a coin or pen up and down. When the motion is smooth and unchanging, it will go straight up and down. Only when the vehicles speed is changing, faster or slower, will is miss its launching spot.

I know that album well Doc, That and the first. I’m light on the rest. Will so the Oasis fest this week Ever since the release of the song in 1995, fans have wondered about the lyrics. What exactly is a Champagne Supernova? What does it all mean? This album contains “Some Might Say,” which was Oasis’ first hit single. It’s hard to overestimate how perfectly Liam’s vocals go with his brothers’ songs. I remember watching the Bee Gees documentary and someone commenting on how only siblings can get to that place. In the documentary Supersonic, they talked about how Liam could usually just nail the songs within one or two tries, almost as if he’d written them.

Using 1995 as a grounding point, former GQ editor Dylan Jones uses each chapter to explore a facet of Cool Britannia such as Britpop, the Young British Artists, New Labour, Loaded magazine, the Premier League, Kate Moss and The Beatles, as well as making a link with the deaths of Kurt Cobain (April 1994) and John Smith (May 1994), both of which heralded the beginning of both Britpop and New Labour respectively and, seemingly, helped Britain shake off its recent past and party like it was 1965/1999. Michael from Henderson, NcOn Wikipedia it stated that Noel said, "I still dosen't know what it is about, but I think it might be about Reincarnation." This isn't really that far fetched because a line of the song reads, "Dream a dream she never dies." Alot of people who believe in reincarnation, see death it as the soul "changing cloathes" as opposed to unbelievers seeing it as living no more. Again this isn't too farfetched because in their song "who feels love" it uses the indian hand drumb the tabala and some of the guitar rifts sound like sitar. "The hindu Times" also has guitar rifts that sound like a sitar, and the obvious refrence to Hinduism in it's tittle. And the line everyone seems to be talking about, the oxymoron (thanks Diablo!) 'saw you walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball'. I think the way it's so self-condridictory is to give it more effect, although it might be like people say, that while the person he is watching is moving slowly, they are still fast in comparison to everyone else. I also love the opening (I know I'm writing about the start at the end of my post but hey, that's the way I work!) how he descibes what's happening, how he's 'living strange' and the special people in his life are changing. I think it sets the mood for the song, slightly bitter but very much in love. Hac Barton from Las Vegas, NvActually, I have Gregorian chants on my iPod and I'm here to let you know, the part where they howl like monkeys actually is a little better than anything on So, with a recent slew of books proclaiming the 1990’s to be the last true decade of freedom and, in the case of Faster Than a Cannonball, their hefty lengths may encourage some that this is true. It’s important to have your critical filters on.
