Forensic in its detail of the songs, Liam's delivery, and singing along.

The avalanching “OHHHH” that comes before “Sally can wait” in “Don’t Look Back in Anger.” The “AYYYYY” of “maybe” and “me” in “Wonderwall.” The “YIYYYY” (plus, the so-called “intrusive R”) of that “champagne supernoverr in the skyiyyy.” Maybe we weren’t singing along so much as joining Oasis in their sound-making, creating new meanings outside the edges of the language we speak.
