" All Around The World" by Oasis, reportedly one of Noel Gallagher's best songs, took years to produce due to its extravagant nature. Despite not appearing on their first two albums, it topped the UK singles chart with a record-breaking duration of 9 minutes and 38 seconds. The song was a product of early 1992 rehearsals.

The song of the day for today is a song by Oasis. All Around The World. The song was one of the first to be written by Noel, and there are recorded sessions of the band rehearsing it at the Boardwalk club as early as 1992. However, despite Noel’s fondness for the song, it did not appear on their first two albums—Definitely Maybe and (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?—as he wanted to wait until the band could afford to produce the song in the extravagant manner in which it eventually appeared.
