A lyric video for She’s Electric has been uploaded as Oasis‘ huge selling album (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? clicks over to its 23rd year.
Featuring a Terry Gilliam-esque collage, the video offers a timely reminder of the almost uniquely ubiquitous nature of Oasis’ 1995 second studio LP, given it was never released as a single but is now one of their most commonly heard ditties.
…Morning Glory, along with its predecessor Definitely Maybe and follow-up Be Here Now, received a remastered re-release in 2014 under the banner Chasing The Sun, when Live4ever used the reissue series to look back on those heady Britpop days:
“It’s likely, halfway through 1994 as one continued the incessant touring trail after finally completing work on his band’s debut album, and the other came to an agreement which would see him adopt the mantle of leader of the Labour Party, that Noel Gallagher and Tony Blair had never even heard of each other.”
“However, just three short years later the pair would meet inside 10 Downing Street with a handshake and a glass of champagne for an image which now – in all its superficiality – suitably defines an era. By then Noel Gallagher was rich, successful and exhalted. Tony Blair, equally, had just been carried to power in the UK on a landslide, himself now carrying the hopes of a nation blossoming with colour after a generation of grey Tory decline. Or so went the narrative anyway.”
