Little By Little
Oasis · Time Flies... 1994-2009 [2010]
We don't claim to be perfect but we're free
We dream our dreams alone with no resistance
Fadin' like the stars we wish to be
Y'know I didn't mean
What I just said
But my god woke up on the wrong side of his bed
And it just don't matter now
'Cause Little by little
We gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Little by little
The wheels of your life they're slowly fallin off
Little by little
You have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why are you really here?
True perfection has to be imperfect
I know that that sounds foolish but it's true
The day has come and now you'll have to accept
The life inside your head we give to you
Y'know I didn't mean
What I just said
But my god woke up on the wrong side of his bed
And it just don't matter now
'Cause Little by little
We gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Little by little
The wheels of your life they're slowly fallin off
Little by little
You have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why are you really here?
Hey!!!
Little by little
We gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Little by little
The wheels of your life they're slowly fallin off
Little by little you have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why you're really here?
Why am I really here?
Why am I really here?
Little By Little
Little By Little stands as a defining track from Oasis's 1994 debut album, Definitely Maybe. Written by Noel Gallagher, the song captures the band's signature blend of swagger and melancholy that characterized their early Britpop era. The recording features a driving rhythm section and soaring guitar lines that build into an anthemic chorus, showcasing the Gallagher brothers' dynamic interplay. As a staple of the group's live performances, the track highlights their ability to craft memorable melodies that resonate with audiences decades later. Its inclusion on the 2010 compilation Time Flies... 1994-2009 underscores its enduring status within the band's extensive catalogue. The song remains a testament to Oasis's impact on British rock, reflecting the optimism and energy that propelled them to international stardom during the mid-1990s.
