Back to the future
According to NME, Oasis’ next single will be “Acquiesce,” a track they originally released 11 years ago! It was a b-side for “Some Might Say,” the seventh song on 1994’s (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, which came out when even Liam Gallagher was still in short pants.
Since then, the band — which at that point had released two albums — have put out four albums, a two-disc live CD/DVD (on which “Acquiesce” was the sixth track), and a compilation of b-sides, (on which it was the first).
It’ll still be their best song to come out in years, since the last three albums — Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, Heathen Chemistry, and Don’t Believe the Truth — have been pretty forgettable, but retirement becomes an option at some point, right?
Or have Oasis been covering “Hey Hey, My My” for so long that they’ve stopped paying attention to the words?
