It's just the same note over and over.

Plus a wonderwall isn't even a thing.

I really like gve song but it's down beat

Give it a rest. It's a really good song. Yeah, fair play, people singing it in parks is tedious but on the whole it is an excellent, memorable song which has objectively stood the test of time. Even if it's not to your taste calling it "dirge" is objectively absurd. It's artistically very impressive. I couldn't do better.

It always was a load of wank and remains so.
Best tribute to Liam was Kathy burkes
Perrys return from Manchester.

Agree. Hate the song, can’t stand Oasis. Status Quoaisis. The most yawnsome band.

I don't get why 'Wonderwall' has to be a thing. Was St Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band real? What's an Egg man,
or a walrus?

Hallucinogenics.

After that amazing game last night Wonderwall and Don’t look Back in Anger will be in my heart forever. Stunning performance. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Noel writing 2 anthems. One that became defined by a tragedy and one becoming a song for the terraces

I think David Bowie heros would have been so much better ? And it really lifts half way through !! .

Heroes was used during the 2012 London Olympics. A while ago, granted, but still quite recent in the scheme of things.
In any case, to use that song as an unironic anthem about someone being a hero is to misuse/misunderstand it.
