Today is gonna be the day,
That they're gonna give it back to you.
By now you should've somehow,
Realized what you gotta do.
I don't believe that anybody,
Feels the way I do about you now.
Not even sure what's in store, though it's more
Backbeat the word was on the street,
That the fire in your heart is out.
And I'm sure you've heard it all before,
But you never really had a doubt.
I don't believe that anybody,
Feels the way I do about you now.
In your armchair, just lying in wait, waiting
And all the roads we have to walk are winding.
And all the lights that lead the way are blinding.
There are many things that I would like to say to you,
But I don't know how...
And a little bit hungrier for that tiny prize.
I said maybe...
You're gonna be the one that saves me...
And after all...
You're my wonderwall...
Find that part in someone else and you'll do good," so I thought that I would.
Today was gonna be the day,
But they'll never bring it back to you.
By now you should've somehow,
Realized what you gotta do.
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now.
Propped up and pushed into your place
And all the roads we have to walk are winding.
And all the lights that lead the way are blinding.
There are many things that I would like to say to you,
But I don't know how...
You should know that it won't
I said maybe...
You're gonna be the one that saves me...
You're gonna be the one that saves me...
And after all...
You're my wonderwall...
You're my wonderwall...
You're my wonderwall...
You're my wonderwall...

I would have problems liking this song even if The Beatles sang it in perfect harmony, though admittedly Ryan Adams's voice raises it to 2 from the original's 1.

The spirit and engaging melody of the original are utterly absent, replaced by some hungover adolescent whining and echo/phasing production.

I don't know why the majority of the audience here hate this cover.... I find it magic.... at the time I used to love this OASIS song in 1995 but I felt in love with Ryan just listening his personal evocative version... this one....and the whole album love is hell is incredible

The best cover (and as far as I'm concerned only worthwhile version of this song, including the original) is more or less a parody by the Mike Flowers Pops Orchestra...best heard in context of the video...

The worst cover version I have ever heard. This is so essentially Oasis, that this soulless, esoteric and unnecessary cover is flawed in its conception, weak in its execution and could only be liked by numpties who cant tell Noel from Liam. PS I didnt like it

Seeing as I'm commenting on this not after hearing it on RP, I'm not sure which version of this cover was played. I've heard the one on the album, as well as one from an acoustic set Adams did. Personally, I think the latter version kicks the ass of the former, but I find his take on the song, in general, quite loverly. The song has always held a certain significance for me, and I'm glad to find a cover that did not butcher the original, but was even comparable. Kudos, sir Ryan.

An Meandering Essay Commending the Efforts of Ryan Adams: Why This Version of Oasis' Wonderwall Kicks ARS First of all, I find it disgusting when a so called "artist" covers a song and doesn't claim it or do anything creative to make it their own. An example of a bad cover: "last Kiss"covered by pearl jam, or "Landslide" by the pumpkins. Oasis themselves said that they didn't feel proper doing the song Wonderwll anymore after hearing Ryan Adams version because he did it so immaculately. This is hands down a fabulous cover. To reiterate the point that claiming a cover as your own is much more pleasurable and flattering, notice the wide range of covers on A Perfect Circles album "Emotive" they cover Marvin Gaye, Depeche Mode, John Lennon, and Joni Mitchell. Each song is orchestrated newly to capture the meaning it has to them. Kudos Ryan, Maynard, and all those creative enough to hear the music in it's endless possibility!

After reading some of the terrible comments about the previously played "Champagne Supernova", I'm surprised to find so many people liking this shockingly awful cover 8O I'm certainly not Oasis's No.1 fan by any stretch of the imagination - but some songs should, and generally can, only sound any good when sung by certain people. Wonderwall for me will always sound best when it's by Oasis.

Not much and not often... A "local" band covers this song often (they do have 5 albums of their own which are pretty good folk/rock), I should try to find a bootleg of their cover and upload it so it can replace this one :D

I've heard Anka's version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" a time or two. Barely recognized it without the angry guitars. But I have to admit I got a kick out of it. Bonus points for sheer balls!

I applaud his effort to do something different with a cover version (so many covers these days seem to be an effort simply to reproduce the original as closely as possible) but I can't say I enjoyed it. I kept trying to forget the original and listen to this as a composition in its own right, but I couldn't. In the end it just sounded like he was trying too hard to make it sound different, and lost the plot completely.

interesting follow to the actual oasis. the songs were catchy, and reading the posts its true that if anyone else sang them, or didnt talk the trash that oasis did people would actually like them.

They were so cool at that one concert! Ha ha! Right, right. So anyway, we wondered if you'd do a cover we could play. People are loving you right now... Seriously, I mean it. You're welcome. So maybe if you could take a song or two... Oh my god, I was thinking 'Wonderwall' too! Great minds think alike, eh? Ha ha ha. So anyway... Sure, just shoot us an MP3. Or maybe...

I can't believe people get so upset about stuff like this. Doesn't anybody have anything better to do? To me, the question to ponder is: What would I think of this recording if I had never heard the Oasis version? Of course, there's no way to know that. So I'm stuck thinking, "This is an interesting take on a familiar song." And definitely a change of pace. I like the song; I like the emotional intensity its infused with here. Call that "oversinging" if you want.

Ryan Adams scored a Grammy nomination for this cover from 2004. Here's the competition. I haven't heard a single one of the other songs, and I've heard this version about a million times, so I figure it's gotta win. But what do I know? I've never even seen the Grammys. But I love it when a record company doesn't want to release a record that goes on to huge success...and I love "Love is Hell" even more than this song.
