__**Introduction **__

 The band was formed in 1991 in Manchester, it was originally known as The Rain. The group was formed by Liam Gallagher Paul Arthurs, Paul McGuigan and Tony McCarroll but later they added Liam's Brother, Noel Gallagher which ended up being the bandleader and changed the band's name to Oasis, who also wrote Little by Little.

**__Choice song__**

The reason for choosing this song is not only because I like the sound, slowly but powerful, it is also the lyrics. They seem simple, easy to read and to understand, but you have to think, look behind the words and listen to the music until you get the overall message.

There are 2 verses and a chorus. It doesn’t have that much of repetion within the two verses, but it does have a great upbeat and tune. The song starts slowly but when it reaches to the chorus it goes higher up, which emphasise even more the meaning of those phrases and the importance of the chorus.

We the people fight for our existence  We don't claim to be perfect <span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal;"> But we're free <span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal;"> We dream our dreams alone <span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal;"> With no resistance <span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal;"> Fading like the stars we wish to be

<span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal;"> True perfection has to be imperfect <span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal;"> I know that that sounds foolish but it's true <span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal;"> The day has come <span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal;"> And now you'll have to accept <span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal;"> The life inside your head we give to you

__**<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">About Lyrics **__

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">At the first verse, it talks about people in general. People not knowing why they are here, in this world, and questioning their existence. How the human race has taken everything for guaranteed.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">The chorus is a big part in the song as it gives lots of information and detail. Is divided into two stanzas:

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">The first stanza is addressed to his daughter or son and he tells her/him how he didn’t mean to say what he said to his/her mother and he regrets so. Even if he is sorry, he still places the blame partly on God “But my God woke up on the wrong side of his bed”. But now he has realised there isn’t much he can do, but be the best he can, because is all done and finished “ And it just don’t matter now”.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Second stanza it refers to the mother and him (the father) bringing up their child, teaching what’s wrong and what’s right, giving him/her all the love, everything they could afford to, basically being the best parents they could be. But the child has grown, it was their time for them to move on without him/her, and the child had to start planning his/her own life, and think for himself/herself, but his/her life has lost control “the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off”. <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">The father gives the child an advice which he has learned from his errors during his life; in this life you have to give it all and try your best, even if you don’t exactly now why, you have to. If you don’t do so, you could end up losing important things, which you don’t won’t to, altough in that moment you don't realise it, but after the years you will regret not having done anything to stop it from happening.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">The Second verse the father is saying that perfection isn’t perfect, and neither is life and you have to believe it “I know that that sounds foolish but it’s true”. Now you, the child, have to accept that and move on with your life.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">The last two lines of the last verse goes back towards the first verse, "Why am I here?" humans still doubt why they are in this world and the reason of their existence.



__**<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Overall message **__

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">We, the humans doubt of our existence, but we know we want to have it all. Life is what you get little by little, as well as giving it to people you love. The overall message is saying when you have everything you always dreamed of, you then realise it isn’t that great at all, and it doesn’t make you as happy as you thought it would. And then you won’t have much to strive for anymore and this will make you feel like there’s no reason for your existence.
