Hello, this is Jay Sniper.Let me tell you a story about my life. When I was a young boy around 13 years ago, I found out about a band called Oasis. It was the mid-90s and I was at a low point in my life. I was addicted to drugs, food, water, mouthwash, and also addicted to sex. S-E-X, sex. However, things were going to change. August 30th, 1994. The hit album by Oasis titled "Definitely Maybe" came out and my life was forever changed by these pieces of music put together on a single album in tape format.Never before have so many songs flowed together so nicely with such great style. It was true cock and roll. I stopped taking drugs, I forgot about all of my addictions and Oasis saved my life. Even though they are now dead and they only had like two good albums, they remain a large part of my life and they have influenced me with their music and their IRL attitudes, both on and off the field. In a recent British poll, run by NME and the book of British Hit Singles and Albums, Definitely Maybe was voted the best album of all time with The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band finishing second and Revolver third. Q magazine readers placed it at five on their greatest albums of all time list in 2006 and in that same year NME hailed it as the greatest album of all time. In a 2008 poll by Q and HMV in 2008, Definitely Maybe was ranked first on a list of the greatest British album of all time.The first time I heard this song called Half the World Away, it was when Oasis had released their B-side compilation album "The Masterplan". I had been listening to it and enjoying it when all of a sudden this song came on. Suddenly, I was surrounded by light and the music of Oasis... nothing else. I had reached a peak in my life and God and His son Jesus Christ were coming to pay me a visit. After they had left, the song was coming to an end. Noel Franklin Gallagher sung directly into my earholes: "I don't feel down, don't feel down" and I felt something I had not felt since my childhood... a warm tear, slowly rolling down my right cheek. I felt warm and safe, something I hadn't felt in so long. It's a feeling I thought I would never feel again but Oasis took me there, took me to the promised land. I will never forget you, Noel Gallagher. Rest in peace.So, enjoy this cover, mother fucker!ALL INSTRUMENTS WERE PLAYED BY ME AND ME ONLY EXCEPT THE HAND CLAPS, THOSE WERE DONE AT A PROFESSIONAL STUDIO.Personnel:Jay Sniper - lead vocals, lead guitar, rhythm guitarMeepus Christ - clapsThanks to Abbey Road studio palace for letting us record the claps heard in the song, we owe you one! |
