    Ok, as far as the Beatles and Oasis goes…it’s not really an issue. I just want to post about the song…It’s about love, as everyone has said. It’s about a man/woman who has these incredibly strong feelings for a significant other and doesn’t know how to express them to him/her. “Because maybe, you’re gonna be the one that saves me…and after all, you’re my wonderwall.” This person means so much to them that they just might be the one to save them from themselves, from life, from any and all difficulties. They’ve both had problems. This other person, however, is their wonderwall…their sheild. Wonderwoman is like superwoman right, well the wonderwall is like a superwall…a wall to the outside world, to pain, and to all things there associated. It’s beautiful. I have my wonderwall.
    …. this is a quote i found from a lyrics website… i agree with what they say

    It comes from an old (1968) George Harrison song.

    It is often claimed that “Wonderwall” was written for Gallagher’s then-girlfriend, Meg Mathews. Noel married Mathews, but they were divorced in 2001. Gallagher now claims that the song was not about Mathews at all, but he felt he had to go along with the rumour, saying “You write a number 1, your bird thinks it’s about her, what can you say?” and “The meaning of that song was taken away from me by the media who jumped on it. And how do you tell your Mrs it’s not about her once she’s read it is? It’s about an imaginary friend who’s going to come and save you from yourself”.[1] Initially Noel wanted to sing this song, but he gave his brother Liam Gallagher the choice, and Noel ended up singing “Don’t Look Back In Anger”.
