Noel Gallagher admits he never understood the lyrics of “Champagne Supernova”.
Noel Gallagher recently dismissed face masks in an interview. But in a new chat, he drops a bigger surprise.
The former Oasis guitarist says he’s been speaking nonsense for years. And he’s not joking about his usual quotes.
Looking Back at “(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?”
Noel Gallagher spoke with SiriusXM Lithium, a ’90s rock station. The occasion was the 25th anniversary of the iconic album.
He recalled performing “Champagne Supernova” during his recent tour. He admitted something surprising about the lyrics.
Lines like “Slowly walking down the hall/ Faster than a cannonball” confuse even him. He called them “complete gibberish.”
Another line, “Someday you will find me/ Caught beneath the landslide,” also makes no sense to him. Still, fans love it.
Despite confusion, the track remains one of the most beloved rock anthems in history.

“Champagne Supernova” Still Resonates With Fans
On stage, Noel Gallagher finds himself lost in the moment. He still wonders, “What does it fucking mean?”
He remembers performing up north. He looked at the crowd — full of teenagers, singing every line.
The band had split before most were even born. But the song keeps reaching new generations.
Noel now believes that’s what gives it meaning — its timeless appeal to young people, decades later.
Why Liam Gallagher Sang “Wonderwall” Instead
In the same interview, Noel Gallagher spoke about the song “Wonderwall.”
He revealed people often ask his daughter about it. He also said he almost sang it himself.
While Noel sang “Don’t Look Back In Anger” beautifully, Liam Gallagher had the better voice for “Wonderwall” and “Champagne Supernova.”
Noel had the songwriting talent. Liam had the voice that made the songs unforgettable.
And fans everywhere are still grateful for that decision.
