All Around the World专辑介绍
"All Around the World" is a song by the English rock band Oasis, written by the band's lead guitarist and principal songwriter Noel Gallagher. Released on 12 January 1998, the track peaked at number one in the UK Singles Chart; it is the longest single ever to do so (the track on both the CD and 12" release is 18 seconds longer than the album version found on Be Here Now). It is also the longest song ever recorded by Oasis. The single went gold in the UK. This was the last Oasis single to be released on the Creation Records label. The song also reached #15 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart.
"All Around the World", nearly ten minutes long, is embellished with string and horn pieces, and is followed by a two-minute-long instrumental, "All Around the World (Reprise)". Upon its release the reviews were generally positive. As with many Oasis songs, such as "Whatever", "Acquiesce", "Live Forever" it sends the message that "everything's gonna be okay". The song features a backing vocal of "na-na-na"'s in the coda similar to the corresponding section in The Beatles' song "Hey Jude".
