I WONDER WHETHER DOMINIC MONAGHAN LIKES IT: You know how some terrific songs get so overplayed that you cannot bear to listen to them any longer? For me, at least, the hiatus period with "Wonderwall" by Oasis lasted over a decade, but I heard it in the car last week and have been playing it a lot since then. I love the deceptively simple acoustic intro. I love the eloquence of the lyrics. I love the dramatic way the drums and strings kick in just before the word "backbeat" is sung about 45 seconds after the song begins. The piano near the end is haunting. And maybe, I believe that love saved me.
