歌曲簡介
主歌是爛唱的，副歌是諾唱的，因為諾說爛上不去調。這首歌便成了第一支兄弟倆共同主唱的歌曲。兩人共同主唱的只有兩首，另外一首是let there be love。
這歌是諾在去錄音棚錄definitely maybe的路上寫的。當時火車晚點，趁著這個功夫，他寫下了acquiesce的部分歌詞。The masterplan專輯封套這樣描述：這首歌說的是廣義的友誼，並不特指gallagher兄弟倆之間的關係（The song is about friendship in the widest sense and not, as often speculated, about the Gallagher brothers themselves.）。
很多歌迷認為這首歌有資格進入專輯morning glory，也有歌迷認為這首歌足以作為單曲發行。Alan MaGee試圖說服諾用acquiesce代替some might say作為單曲發行。諾拒絕了，因為他覺得some might say已經完成，而且他不願意再為acquiesce錄一個B-side。但是noel承認，包括acquiesce，the masterplan在內的幾首歌完全應該作為單曲和專輯歌曲發行。
歌中的對白來自noel，liam和製作人Owen Morris:
Owen: Where's Noel? 諾呢？
Liam: Gone for a walk 外邊兒溜達呢。
Unknown voice: Sacked him 把他開除掉！！
Owen: <indecipherable> <聽不出來>
Liam: I've sacked him 我已經開除他了
完整歌詞
I don't know what it is
That makes me feel alive
I don't know how to wake
The things that sleep inside
I only wanna see the light
That shines behind your eyes
I hope that I can say
The things I wish I'd said
To sing my soul to sleep
And take me back to bed
Who wants to be alone
When we can feel alive instead
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul
There are many things
That I would like to know
And there are many places
That I wish to go
But everything's depending
On the way the wind may blow
I don't know what it is
That makes me feel alive
I don't know how to wake
The things that sleep inside
I only wanna see the light
That shines behind your eyes
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul
Cos we believe
Cos we believe
Yeah we believe
Cos we believe
Cos we believe
Cos we believe
Because we need
Because we need
樂隊介紹
綠洲樂隊(Oasis)是近十年來英國最受歡迎和最受評論家承認的樂隊之一；他們在將英國的guitar-pop 推向頂峰的過程中起了不小的作用。 這個來自曼徹斯特的演唱組沿襲了 Stones 和 the Who 的粗糙灰暗的形象，融合了 Beatles 的曲調並帶有明顯的英國抒情色彩的主題。他們將這一切用吉他的吼叫聲串起來。而他們的挑釁式的譏笑可以和 Sex Pistols 的叛逆與 Stone Rose 的傲慢自大媲美。起初，組合是由 Liam Gallagher , Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs , Paul McGuigan , 和 Tony McCaroll 幾個同學組成的. 他們最初是為 Stone Roses 做吉他伴奏。當 Noel Gallagher 回到曼徹斯特是發現他的兄弟成立了一個樂隊後便提出要加入。但是前提是他能夠完全的控制這個組合，其中包括創作所有的歌曲；樂隊的其他成員同意了他的提議並將樂隊更名為 Oasis 。
