Hear Me Out: Oasis 'D'You Know What I Mean?' is music's greatest comeback single (Far Out magazine, Aug. 12, 2025) [View all]

Quite a statement there, but British journalist and music and movie reviewer Tim Bradley does a great job of backing that claim up (at least for the UK) in this new article. The comeback was their first single from their third album, and the hiatus hadn't been terribly long, but it was still a major event for MTV and British media. And the video premiere on MTV lived up to both the hype and fans' hopes.

Three videos below - the original 7:24 minute video, then the shorter (5:45) version, then the first performance of the song from the reunion tour - a real comeback after 16 years - on July 4, 2025. And after those, a link to the full lyrics, and then video of Noel talking about the song, video uploaded to YouTube in 2016.
