In this excerpt from Icons with Noel Gallagher, Noel opens up about the creative process behind writing the legendary Oasis albums “Definitely Maybe” and “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” Listen as Gallagher shares stories from the early days of Oasis when the songs that appeared on the “Definitely Maybe” album were written so they could play local gigs, and how he had no idea he was actually writing his first album, which would go on to sell millions of copies worldwide. Hear Noel reflect on what it is to be a songwriter and how Oasis was constantly refining their set by replacing weaker songs with stronger ones the more gigs they played.

Noel discusses the recording process of “Definitely Maybe,” describing it as an anomaly within the Oasis catalog, as the album was recorded live in Clear Studios in Manchester, England, with producer Owen Morris, a studio similar in size to their rehearsal space, capturing the essence of their live performances and their live sound. Listen as he talks about the writing process of “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” and how he dealt with the pressure of writing a follow-up album to their debut record, choosing to record it at Rockfield Studios immediately after touring.

Gallagher reflects on the difficulties of maintaining creative integrity while dealing with the immense pressure of Oasis being in the spotlight and talks about how the success of their early work came from a place of innocence and trust, touching on the struggle of balancing his role as the primary songwriter in Oasis and not having a songwriting partner similar to his heroes.

For fans of Oasis and anyone out there who wants to be a songwriter, this interview with one of our generation’s most iconic songwriters is a must-see. It offers a rare glimpse into Noel Gallagher’s thoughts on the early years of Oasis, the evolution of his songwriting process through “Definitely Maybe,” “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?,” and eventually “Be Here Now,” and who his songwriting heroes are. This clip from Icons is a closer look at how some of the most iconic music of the 90s was written.
