No real success. But I played the cavern in Liverpool. I love oasis. Through them any man could, through will alone, like them, achieve something. Love your work. God bless Keep it up

    I’m glad someone’s covered this. This is the song that made me want to start a band when I saw the scene from the Supersonic documentary. I went to the location of the old boardwalk which was abit surreal to think they played this tune there, 30 years ago. I covered this by ear when I was 15 so 2/3 years ago now which has kinda become my like spirit song as I know it inside and out haha. I also did this for a project at college which sounded immense to hear through huge monitors after my own rebuild. I did play this at an open mic once when I said, here’s take me by oasis. Everyone was so confused. Just a banger which deserves some shine
