Wonderwall - Remastered

The general consensus is that this song is about Noel Gallagher's then-girlfriend Meg Mathews, who is compared with a schoolboy's wall to which posters of footballers and pop stars are attached. He told Select magazine at the time: "It's about my girlfriend. She was out of work, and that, a bit down on her luck, so it's just saying, 'Cheer up and f---in get on with it.'" Noel later married then divorced Meg Mathews. However, according to Q magazine's 1001 Best Songs Ever, this was not about Mathews. Noel is quoted as saying, "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."

The music is based on Wonderwall Music, an instrumental album George Harrison wrote for the movie Wonderwall in 1968. This was the first solo album released by any of The Beatles.

The full title of the 1968 film that introduced the term Wonderwall is Wonderwall - from Psychedelia to Surrealism. It stars Jane Birkin as the object of obsession for the man lives next door. When he becomes fascinated with her, he slowly makes holes in his wall so he can watch her through it. This is the "Wonderwall." It's one of those films that can only be understood through the use of mind-altering substances.
