A lot of other folks here on Skool have posted a group song for their community, so I thought it's about time Worth Waker got one. To be honest, there's only one choice to be had here, and that track is Supersonic by Oasis. *Oasis nerd alert* In the Oasis catalogue, Supersonic stands out on its own in terms of how it was written and recorded where the writer Noel Gallagher wrote it in a few minutes during a break in the recording studio where they were trying to nail the recording of a debut single for their management. Supersonic was written 'in whatever time it takes for 6 guys to finish a Chinese takeaway' and was recorded in full by the band in 1 take - no editing, redoing or filtering done, just created and recorded in 1 go, and that is the version you hear on the album today. After the distinctive drumbeat mixed with the instantly recognisable riff to kick the song off, the F#m chord roars in with the 2 opening lines: 🎵 I need to be myself, I can't be no-one else 🎵 Symptomatic of the whole song, both lines are delivered with utter conviction and swagger by the singer Liam Gallagher. This opening couplet itself reminds me that being myself is something I’d forgotten in the face of trying to fit in with a crowd, because showing my true emotions/self wasn’t ‘acceptable’ to those around me. Suppressing my true emotions only meant that they’d burst out later at some point, which wasn’t healthy. Also, trying to be someone else would be trying to live up to expectations set externally, be it from someone else or society in general. This approach invariably means that if I didn’t meet those expectations, I’d feel like I failed, generate low self worth and hence wouldn’t feel good enough. I hence took responsibility for everything in my life. That doesn’t mean no-one else has any responsibility, it just means I am completely responsible for everything happening to me, and don't need to alter my values for anything or anyone. Hence: I need to be myself, I can’t be no-one else.
