“I live my life for the stars that shine / People say it’s just a waste of time” – Rock ‘n’ Roll Star
When Noel Gallagher wrote this opening track to Oasis’ career making debut album Definitely Maybe in 1994, the Gallaghers were not quite actual Rock ‘n’ Roll stars yet. Like many of Oasis’ lyrics, this line highlights the carefree, optimistic feel that a lot of Oasis hits radiate. It shows us that, yes, people will have their opinions about what you do/believe in (“people say it’s just a waste of time”) but ultimately, ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Star’ is all about being who you want to be, not letting what other people think affect what you believe in and basically doing whatever the hell makes you happy.
