Interesting facts and trivia about Some Might Say - Remastered. By Songfacts®.

"Some Might Say" was written by the lead guitarist of the English rock band Oasis, Noel Gallagher, and released as the first single from their second album (What's the Story) Morning Glory? in 1995. The song captured the spirit of the day, that something was about to happen - "Some might say we will find a brighter day" - and it was no surprise when it became Oasis's first UK #1.

The head of Oasis' record company, Alan McGee, wanted to release the single as a double A-side with "Acquiesce." However, Noel Gallagher disagreed and stood firm, so despite becoming a concert favorite, "Acquiesce" remained only this song's B-side.

(What's the Story) Morning Glory? producer Owen Morris recalled the recording of this song in the February 2011 edition of Q magazine: "We'd demoed 'Some Might Say' in Maison Rouge (France) six months or so before. The version from there was slow and heavy and dark, really quite cool in a Rolling Stones way. Then we turn up in Loco studios in Wales and spend the day doing lots of good versions, slightly faster than the demo. I edit the best bits together backing track done! Then Noel wakes the band in the middle of the night, insists they get out of bed and re-record it. We do one take and decide we're all f--king geniuses and that we've definitely nailed it. Next day, I wake up, hangover and hazy, Liam wants to sing. So Liam sings his lead vocal in two takes. F--king on-fire singing. Thing is, the backing track was faster than we'd ever intended, which Noel and I hadn't noticed when drunk the night before. There was a really bad speed up during the first three bars of the first chorus. But we had to f--king use it because Liam's singing was undeniably brilliant."
