Oasis

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, you up in the sky
Learning to fly, tell me how high
Do you think you'd go
Before you start falling?
Hey you up in the tree
You wanna be me, well, that couldn't be
'Cause the people here
They don't hear you calling

[Chorus]
How does it feel
When you're inside me?

[Verse 2]
Hey you wearing the crown
Making no sound, I've heard you feel down
Well, that's just too bad
Welcome to my world
Hey you stealing the light
I heard that the shine's gone out of your life
Well, that's just too bad
Welcome to my world

[Chorus]
How does it feel
When you're inside me?
[Bridge]
You'll need assistance with the things that you
Have never ever seen
It's just a case of never breathing out
Before you breathe it in
How does it feel
When you're inside?
I can feel you
Can you feel me?

[Verse 1]
Hey you up in the sky
Learning to fly, tell me how high
Do you think you'll go
Before you start falling?
Hey you up in a tree
You wanna be me, well, that couldn't be
'Cause the people here
They don't hear you calling

[Chorus]
How does it feel
When you're inside me?

[Bridge]
You'll need assistance with the things that you
Have never ever seen
It's just a case of never breathing out
Before you breathe it in
How does it feel
When you're inside?

Up in the Sky

If you're an avid fan of Oasis or just a casual listener, you may have come across the song “Up in the Sky” at some point. Released in 1994, it is one of the band's more underrated tracks, providing a glimpse of a highly charged and fiery side to Oasis. It may not have been one of their most popular tracks, but it still has a dedicated fanbase that appreciates the band's unique sound.

About Up in the Sky

Sung by Oasis's lead vocalist, Liam Gallagher, “Up in the Sky” features straightforward and honest lyrics that speak to a feeling of frustration and the desire to escape from a difficult situation. The song's lyrics describe an emotion that many people can relate to - the feeling of being trapped by life's circumstances but also the desire to break free and find some kind of redemption.

The song starts out with a driving guitar beat and soon, Gallagher's vocals come in, setting a rebellious tone for what is to come. The lyrics are straightforward and easy to understand, making it easy for listeners to connect with the emotion behind the song. The verses lead up to the soaring chorus, which envisions a brighter future, “I will be higher than the pilot, Up in the sky”.

“Up in the Sky” oozes confidence, highlighting the brash and bold personality of the band. It is undeniably a classic rock tune, blending together the best of British rock with the raw energy of a young band on the rise. The lyrical content may be angry at times, but the music is upbeat and melodic. It is a perfect representation of what Oasis is all about - rock and roll with a hint of rebellion.

The acoustic version of “Up in the Sky” is also worth listening to. While it may not have the same driving energy as the original, the stripped-down acoustic sound adds a layer of depth and vulnerability to the song, making it a more personal and emotional experience.
