10 Famous Songs About Real People (That Nobody Can Identify)

While Oasis were dominating the British charts in the early 90's on the back of their record Definitely Maybe, things were a bit more difficult when it came time to cracking the American market. After one particular disastrous show in LA, Noel Gallagher decided he had had enough and went to San Francisco to cool out.

Upon touching down, Noel met up with a girl he had a fling with a few weeks earlier and crashed at her house for a few days. Even though Noel had one foot out the door with Oasis, his new roommate convinced him not to waste the chance he had at becoming a rock star. Seeing her point, Noel returned to the band a few days later and started to take charge of the group. Out of the debacle came "Talk Tonight," one of the most intimate tunes Noel would ever compose.

Looking back now, Noel has said that he can't even picture the girl, but owes her an unpayable debt of gratitude for saving his life. It's a rare breed of person that comes into an artists' life, but they may just be the right person to help you see the enormity of the world around you.
