Wonderwall - Oasis
By Daniel Brewer
Wonderwall - OASIS
Wonderwall seems to be quite a repetitive song with what seems to be 2 main verses (that
are slightly changed and then repeated) with a simple chorus.
The chorus: Because maybe, youre gonna be the one that saves me and after all youre my
wonderwall has three variations. The choruses are repeated four times throughout the
duration of the song.
Along with the chorus there is two main verses that are changed slightly throughout the
song, these being (as they are first found): Today is gonna be the day, that theyre gonna
throw it back to you, by now you shouldve somehow realised what you gotta do, I dont
believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now the second verse being And all the
roads we have to walk 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 dont know how.These verses and
chorus account for 8/9 of the overall song, thus showing a large amount of repeatability
Intertextual References
It appears as though there are no onscreen intertextual relations within
Wonderwall, however Noel Gallagher (lead
guitarist and principal songwriter of Oasis)
has said to have been inspired from
Wonderwall Music. Wonderwall music is an
instrumental album from George Harrison
which was written in 1968 for the Movie
Wonderwall.
Beat The beat of the song is slow and melodic, this is also
shown in the editing of the individual clips as they are long
clips with slow fades between each clip. Occasionally there is
a quick edit of roughly three clips which can show the
confusion between the male and female in the relationship.
Lighting and Colour The lighting within Wonderwall is predominantly white with no colour,
just black and white imagery and occasional colour pops. This black and white colour can
show the depression and sadness within the band for losing the relationship. The colour
pops are blue green and yellow. Each of these colours can have a negative connotation. Blue
for depression from the loss of the relationship, Yellow for the fear of being alone and green,
the colour of envy and wanting the girl.
Mise - en - scene The main setting for Wonderwall seems to be a warehouse or storage
unit. The props being used seem to be like those found in a barber shop along with
instruments and a random rack of saws.
Costuming for Oasis seems to be a simple shirt (plain or checked) with jeans (and some with
a big coat on) which shows the audience that theyre just normal people feeling normal
emotions. The emotions seen within the video are either happiness or sadness and
depression. There are also some scenes of boredom.
