Comments on individual songs
Hello
Hello begins with the same guitar riff as Wonderwall. The image is initially relatively low and is therefore hardly noticed by many listeners. The line " It's good to be back ," which is taken from the song Hello, Hello, I'm Back Again by Gary Glitter, is alluded to as guitar riff towards the end of the song in the album version and supported by a gentle effect vocals in live appearances, however, this text line occurs mostly in the form of singing in the foreground.
Wonderwall
The song was written on the original interpretation by Noel Gallagher for his then girlfriend Meg Matthews. After their separation Noel denied a relationship and pointed to the media that the piece had misinterpreted. The title Wonderwall comes from the album of the same name published in 1968 George Harrison, which in turn is the soundtrack to the little-known film Wonderwall.
