”Don’t Look Back in Anger — Unless You’re a Gallagher”
I grew up in the 80s & 90s, with vinyl and cassette. My heart never left the 80s, I was shaped by guitar solos, grunge screams, Britpop dreams & art-pop ghosts.
I wanna talk a little about Oasis, their reunion, and what they ment to me & and I’m sure, my whole generation..
Oasis — back, thirty years later, and the question still lingers like it did in ’95: What’s the Story, Morning Glory?
Their chaos made noise — but their songs made history.
I grew up in Åmål — a small Swedish town best known for a 1998 film with a title ”Fucking Åmål”. We weren’t Manchester, but we had our own kind of grit — kids who thought we could live forever. And if Oasis can come back thirty years later and still rock the stage like they never left, maybe we all can.
Just like the chaos of Britpop and 1990s Manchester, Oasis became a kind of rebellion and relief.
I didn’t just listen — I lived it.
My skin says in ink, what I never stopped being: A Rebel
While the rest of the world had moved on to CDs, I was still spinning vinyl at home and rewinding cassettes on the go. Side A was “Wonderwall.” Side B, “Don’t Look Back in Anger.” I knew exactly when to flip — my own analog playlist.
Oasis didn’t just play rockstars — they lived it.
Hotel brawls. Blown interviews.
Noel walked out mid-tour. Liam got arrested in Germany after a drunken fight with police.
They weren’t hard to write about — every journalist’s dream, really.
Maybe that’s why we believed them. Still do. Nothing about Oasis was clean — it was real. And every note hit something true.
As a songwriter, I can tell you — lyrics don’t hit unless they’ve been lived.
Oasis is calling it a reunion — summer stadium tour or not, they´re back, never really been gone.
The thing is, real legends don’t ever leave.
They echo forever.

“If bubblegum-country ever had a crown, early Taylor wore it — and Beyoncé knew better than to chase it.”
Tough going for songwriters in Japan
The Asian market is getting more and more important for international songwriters. The Asian share of the worldwide music market is growing, both in size and importance.
There are a lot of “songwriting camps” where professional songwriters meet, collaborate and write songs that are aimed for “pitching” to artists in Japan and Korea. They are usually held for a few days but the tempo and expectations are high.
So what does “pitch” means? When you “pitch” your music, you send your song to an A&R...
