Dont Look Back In Anger

Dont Look Back in Anger is a song by the English band Oasis, composed by lead guitarist Noel Gallagher. Released as a single in 1996, it became one of the bands anthems and a hallmark of the 90s Britpop movement. According to Noel, the song was inspired by a conversation he had with the band Ride after a show, where the theme of youthful illusion was discussed. The song is also notorious for its piano usage, inspired by John Lennons song Imagine, ... and for the line Step outside, the summertimes in bloom, which was supposedly suggested by George Harrison at a party.
