}} "Wonderwall" is a song by the English rock band Oasis, written by the band's guitarist and main songwriter Noel Gallagher. The song was produced by Owen Morris for their second studio album ''(What's the Story) Morning Glory?'' (1995). According to Gallagher, "Wonderwall" describes "an imaginary friend who's gonna come and save you from yourself". The song was released as the third single from the album in October 1995. "Wonderwall" topped the chart in Australia, New Zealand and Spain, reached the top ten on other ten charts, including the Canada and United States at number 5 and 8 respectively, as well as number two on the both UK Singles Chart and Irish Singles Chart. The single was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry and certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. It remains one of the band's most popular songs; on 9 June 2013, it was voted number one on Australian alternative music radio station Triple J's "20 Years of the Hottest 100".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Countdown – Twenty Years of triple j's Hottest 100 – triple j )〕 Many notable artists have also covered the song, such as rock singer Ryan Adams in 2003, folk singer Cat Power, and jazz musician Brad Mehldau in 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Brad Mehldau Trio Add To The "Wonderwall" Cover Canon, Ryan Adams To Tour With The Guys Who First Recorded That Song )〕 ==Background== Noel Gallagher told ''NME'' in 1996, that "Wonderwall" was written for his then-girlfriend, Meg Mathews. However, after Gallagher divorced Matthews in 2001, he said the song was not about Matthews: "The meaning of that song was taken away from me by the media who jumped on it, and how do you tell your missus it's not about her once she's read it is? It's a song about an imaginary friend who's gonna come and save you from yourself."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wonderwall (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
