“You can have it all but how much do you want it?” – ‘Supersonic’
They say a debut single can set the foundations for the rest of a band’s career, so it’s bloody good that ‘’Supersonic’ was Oasis’. The song as a whole is magnificent, but what takes it cuts above is this lyric. It singlehandedly displays the fear of the unknown, the want to do something in life, but the reluctance to do it. This lyric puts the future right in front of the listener, making it all the more striking at the times in life when the future is there for you to grab with both hands – for me, this lyric played over and over in my mind before my A Level exams. It displays isolation alongside the knowledge that you are in control of what happens in your life, showing the difference between what will happen when you want it all and when you don’t.
