As Oasis prepare to release what could be their final album, we’ve decided to pay homage to one of the greatest bands of all time by posting a series of their videos in the run up to the release of Time Flies... 1994-2009.
Released on 12 January 1998, All Around The Work peaked at number one in the UK Singles Chart; it is the longest single ever to do so. The single went gold in the UK. This was the last Oasis single to be released on the Creation Records label.
"All Around the World", nearly ten minutes long, is embellished with string and horn pieces, and is followed by a two-minute-long instrumental, "All Around the World (Reprise)".
Upon its release the reviews were generally positive. It is in keeping with many Oasis songs, such as "Whatever", "Acquiesce", "Live Forever" in that it preaches the belief that "it's gonna be okay". The song features a backing vocal of "na-na-na"'s in the coda similar to the corresponding section in The Beatles' song "Hey Jude".
