Heard this on a local radio station the other day and really like this song-but this is a rather short version and what i heard was much longer - is there a longer version of this song out there somewhere?
Weller has got 4 generations through the angst of youth, this is just another future classic, the man is a musical genius, he captures emotion in his lyrics, and his music is modern yet so though the ages, a real MOD!
I hope this makes you smile. I grew up with Paul and lived about 100 yards from him and went to Maybury School at the same time although I am 3 years younger. My friend and I used to hear him playing guitar in the summer with the windows open and we thought he was rubbish and used to laugh our heads off. I guess we aren't laughing now and I am really proud of him and just in awe of his talent. Sorry for laughing Paul not that you ever knew.
@MrTinlizzy i agree man, hes also doing some of the soundtrack for a film called soulboy being released next year, bout the wigan casino and the northern soul scene, theyre using artists like duffy (for her tribute to northern soul 'mercy') and weller to cover old classics, i think its coming out in october, should be good KTF
Thanks so much for this, I agree this bears more than a passing resemblance to the Walker Brothers sound. Also just love the 60s icon 'Mods' imagery here. Nice one !
Love this,,, much more than a nod to the Walker Brothers records in the Sixties, he must have been listening to the arrangements on those when he recorded this... anyone who hasn't heard them, they are available here
Cheers Guys, appreciate the comments, i just thought that the song deserves some worthwhile images as there isn't an official video. Brilliant song, why bury it on a 'b' side?
QUALITY.....
