Side B:
2. Talk Tonight

The song is now legendary and contains one of the most poignant lyrics every put to paper: “Some might say they don′t believe in heaven. Go and tell it to the man who lives in hell.”

Everyone, including Noel, calls it the quintessential Oasis song, but how do I personally rank it? Highly. Very highly. On WTSMG, it only ranks below Morning Glory. I think it’s because the elements such as it’s got a sunny vibe, Liam’s vocals and Noel’s backing are on point, plus it has a killer solo, of course.

As for the now infamous cover art shot, well it was basically a visual interpretation of the lyrics. Noel had wanted to have the photograph set at a working train station but the photographer, Michael Spencer thought it would make for a more interesting and surreal shot if the station was disused, with a set of characters waiting for a train that would never arrive.

As he himself says, “The platform could act as the stage. I must have spent two weeks reccying the shot all around England. In the end a neighbor who I had been chatting to about the shot suggested Cromford station near Matlock in Derbyshire. I checked it out and it was the ideal location. I shot it on black and white film and spent a week or so hand painting the photograph with watercolors and a brush to create more of a surrealist effect.”
