"Wonderwall", by Oasis, is the song that Charlie performs on the street in London when Desmond encounters him in "Flashes Before Your Eyes". Charlie was seen performing it again in "Greatest Hits", but without Desmond's presence. Oasis is a group that has had strong influence on Drive Shaft (see main article) (Backstage with Drive Shaft).
Salvation is the general subject of the song, and is also a recurring theme on the show. More specifically, this episode reveals that Desmond literally saves Charlie's life repeatedly. Desmond encounters Charlie as he finishes the song, including the line "You're gonna be the one who saves me".
