"Stand By Me" by Liam Gallagher was originally recorded by Oasis, the legendary Britpop band where Liam was the lead vocalist. Released in 1997 as part of Oasis's third album, Be Here Now, the song was written by Noel Gallagher, Liam's brother and the band's primary songwriter.
The lyrics explore themes of loyalty, resilience, and support through difficult times, with the chorus powerfully asking, "Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be." It was inspired by a time when Noel was hospitalized and became reflective on the value of having people who truly support you. The song resonates with many as a message of hope and strength, and Liam's passionate delivery became iconic for Oasis fans.
"Stand By Me" remains one of the standout tracks from Be Here Now and is often performed by Liam Gallagher during his solo concerts, carrying forward the legacy of Oasis while adding his own flair to the song.
