Sobre el álbum

"Why Me? Why Not" es el segundo título en la discografía particular del ex Oasis Liam Gallagher. Aparece en el mercado el 20 septiembre 2019, dos años después de su debut en solitario, "As You Were", con el que obtuvo un gran éxito, llegando al número uno en Reino Unido.

En "Why Me? Why Not" Liam eleva el tono, con un sonido guitarrero muy del estilo tradicional del pop rock británico, con temas compuestos por el propio cantante. El álbum cuenta con la producción de Greg Kurstin y Andrew Wyatt, quienes ya colaboraron en el anterior trabajo de Liam Gallagher.

El título del álbum viene dado por dos dibujos realizador por John Lennon y que ahora pertenecen a Liam, uno por compra, titulado "Why Me?" (¿Por qué yo?) y otro que le fue regalado por la viuda de Lennon, Yok Ono, titulado "Why Not" (Por qué no).

El primer sencillo del álbum es el titulado "Shockwave", lanzado el 6 de junio de 2019 y que vino acompañado de un vídeo grabado en Budapest en el que podemos ver al ex miembro de Oasisalejándose de un edificio en llamas o caminando a través de una multitud de manifestantes.

    Hey kid, did you know? Today, 16 years ago It was you and I for the last time You angrily said, with a smoke ring 'round your heads You would see me on the other side C'mon, I know you want more C'mon and open your door After it all, you'll find out You were always one of us Act like you don't remember You said we'd live forever Who do you think you're kidding? You were only one of us in time When you come to mind, disappear a thousand times Keep me hanging onto the the old life Well, I've gotta go, maybe see you down the road Won't you tell the kid I said, "Goodbye" C'mon, I know you want more C'mon and open your door After it all, you'll find out You were always one of us Act like you don't remember You said we'd live forever End up at the beginning You were only one of us in time In In C'mon, I know you want more C'mon and open your door After it all, you'll find out You were always one of us Act like you don't remember You said we'd live forever End up at the beginning You were only one of us in time (It's a shame, a shame you thought you'd change, my friend) (But you were always one of us) (It's a shame, a shame you thought you'd change, my friend) (But you were always one of us)
  3. Once3:33
    vídeo del tema Once
    It was easier to have fun back when we had nothing Nothing much to manage Back when we were damaged Sometimes the freedom we wanted feels so uncool Just clean the pool And send the kids to school But oh, I remember how you used to shine, back then You went down so easy like a glass of wine, my friend When the dawn came up you felt so inspired to do it again But it turns out you only get to do it once I think it's true what they say that the dream is borrowed You give it back tomorrow Minus the sorrow And the pain she just comes in to break up the daydream Her knife edges waving To keep from feeling the same thing But oh, I remember how you used to shine, back then You went down so easy like a glass of wine, my friend When the dawn came up you felt so inspired to do it again But it turns out you only get to do it once You only get to do it once You only get to do it once You only get to do it once But oh, I remember how you used to shine, back then You went down so easy like a glass of wine, my friend When the dawn came up you felt so inspired to do it again But we were wrong, you only get to do it once

    Letra

    Up on the altar of sacrifice Can't get in the habit, of thinking twice Lit up my heart in a funeral blaze Gonna live for something beside yesterdays I've been waiting for this moment for too long My mama said, "Keep moving Though you're down, you're gonna rise again Come on, darling, don't get in your head You know you know the wheels still in spin Even though your heart is breaking And the changes all keep changing You be still" You can try me 'til kingdom come I got a heart like a beating drum I see hot summer lightning, hear the crack in the sky Jump out of the trench, boys, we were born to die I been waiting for this moment for too long My mama said, "Keep moving Though you're down, you're gonna rise again Come on, darling, don't get in your head You know you know the wheels still in spin Even though your heart is breaking And the changes all keep changing You be still" My mama said, "Keep moving Though you're down, you're gonna rise again Come on, darling, don't get in your head You know you know the wheels still in spin Even though your heart is breaking And the changes all keep changing You be still"

    Letra

    Well, you moved to LA first time under the law Yeah, your head jumped fun so you thought it's time to move on But the pretty girls from the underworld made it easier said than done Yeah, soon enough you were hanging out, you were back where you'd begun But maybe it's alright now Well, it rained three days so the street began to flood Everyone took off, they said they had enough Since 26, since 40 licks, you been moving through the fog Yeah, you never said what you really meant, did you think that it would stop? But maybe it's alright now Baby, it's alright now By the pinball lights, you got petrified Your glass in hand, you're staring at the walls You could try to change, but you just stay strange And drink away the emptiness, paranoid, the S.A.S Will end the game by kicking in your door By the pinball lights, you got petrified Your glass in hand, just staring at the walls Yeah, you just stay strange, and you call her name Well, sonny, she can't hear you anymore Sonny, she can't hear you anymore When the lights go down on Broadway I could still hear all the things you used to say From out my window Watch the fires burn down the road At times, I wonder if you're listening, now I know At times, I wonder if you hear me, now I know

    Letra

    Think I'm coming down with something I've begun to feel a chill Woman I said that I would get to know you And I will The rain is blowing at your window And you've come so many miles But hold still don't try to fight the shadows In your mind It's a long, long, long lonely life Sometimes You gotta hold your head up high If you want to break the chains From your past life My dear don't you worry no more Let me find an empty meadow Where the snow falls on the grass Nothing real can ever fade from memory But nothing lasts It's a long, long, long lonely life Sometimes You gotta hold your head up high If you want to break the chains From your past life My dear don't you worry no more It's a long, long, long lonely life Sometimes You gotta hold your head up high If you want to break the chains From your past life My dear don't you worry no more

    Letra

    Well come on, you weak of knees Afraid of the thought police You who say our generation is forsaken Get out of your clouds of weed Get out of your time machines You can say that the sleeper has awakened You gotta scream and shout If you're gonna work this out Change comes when the water falls I've been waiting so long for you down by the river Well the walls are closing in And your head’s in constant spin And the pain in your eyes I do comprehend Don't believe celebrities The money-suckin' MPs The device in your hands, imitation beauty You gotta scream and shout If you're gonna work this out Change comes when the water falls I've been waiting so long for you down by the river Lick your lips like a prize-fighter Surely you can take a punch Your knuckles can't get no whiter They're gonna eat you for lunch boy So come on You gotta scream and shout If you're gonna work this out Change comes when the water falls I've been waiting for you to come down by the river
