That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
but I don't know how
Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now
And all the roads that lead you there are winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
Wonderwall (Oasis Cover)
Phish's rendition of Oasis's "Wonderwall" stands as a staple of their extensive live repertoire, showcasing the band's ability to reinterpret classic rock anthems through their signature improvisational lens. While the original track is a defining moment of 1990s Britpop, Phish transforms the song into a dynamic vehicle for extended jam sessions, often altering the tempo and intensity to engage audiences during concerts. This cover highlights the group's versatility and their deep connection to rock traditions beyond their own psychedelic and funk-influenced compositions. The performance frequently serves as a communal moment, bridging the gap between the band's experimental tendencies and the melodic accessibility of the source material. It remains a beloved fixture in their live catalogue, demonstrating how the group honors influential predecessors while maintaining their unique sonic identity on stage.
