  • You can't compare a solo artist to a band, ever. Compare Weller to any Beatle that went solo and he wins hands down, no arguments. The finest songwriter of my generation by far!!!

  • i never feel like ive been shit on.It is i that shats on myself..omce you know that....your gonnna be ok!

  • I seen him live in Dublin a few years ago and looking at his acoustic guitars and him playing tunes i never heard i knew this guy was for want of a better word really special cheers to you weller

  • i listen to this to remind me that i can get through antidepressant addiction.

    everyday is a nightmare,but this song takes me through.

    thank you Paul.

  • @paulopezz same here man i was fairly depressed a while ago the world turned up side down etc i kept singin this on my acoustic and it IS the tune that got me through - all the best to ya man

  • @daveindublin1

    dude, everything turns for a reason. i choose to write. this is one of my own.

    ''Having a bad day makes you like everyone else, getting through that bad day is what make you, You.''

    think of the positive and work towards it.

  • Musical legend - 46 year old who's wife recently shit on him - you can always rely on Weller to have a song when you need one.

  • search weller and you get one of his best songs, not even on his recent best of albums. would love if noel got anywhere near wellers solo stuff

  • WELLERS A DIFFERENT CLASS ............NO ONE IN THE WORLD GETS CLOSE.

  • When he says "Im gonna fix up the yard" I just love it

  • Beautiful :-)

    

  • Why is everyone comparing Weller to The Beatles? I honestly do not like any Beatles songs. This song however is so passionate. Fuck the beatles. Skanky old druggies.

  • @HeathcliffeJ

    Paul Weller was credited with "re-inventing" the mod movement in which The Beatles were heavily involved in. I personally think he's better than the Beatles, but don't forget, The Beatles influenced Paul Weller. The Beatles do have some good songs though, they were better towards the late sixties than the early sixties. Please have a listen than dismiss my comments. Check out songs like Get Back, Back in the USSR, Revolution, and Let It Be and tell me you're not impressed.

  • @lostlemming Weller will never achieve what the Beatles achieved. Given the four songs you listed by the Beatles in that comment, i can see that you have never listened to the Beatles properly. My 3 year old niece knows those songs. I love Weller and most of his work, he is a music legend and makes me proud to be British, but better than The Beatles? Don't talk shit and do some homework on it man.

  • @worjackiethelad i couldn`t less agree w u.

    in fact for me, his voice is ok, but his composition skills not more than average..

    nothing really special. unlesss u can show me some unprecedent track...

    thx

  • Bigger than Jesus

  • Oh my god!!!! I love this version so bloody much, not really a fan of the original but this one has so much emotion!

  • this song made me get through it thats tellin ya straight

  • great song

  • Its always the simple songs you go back to when you need them.

    *Raises glass to all the people making a brand new start*

  • sort of therapeutical but exactly what i need. wonderful music.

  • Stunning x

  • age 19. a girl and I had a daughter. age 22 she had cheated on me... and left me with the child and completely cutted of all strings. This song motivated me to do so much and get back on track with life. Today at age 30 I am a multi-million dollar business owner that makes his own schedule on when to go into the office. According to facebook the biological mother of the child works at a gas station.

  • @Blackeyemofo

    well done brilliant!!

  • At the Speed of Sound - just brilliant! One of the best live discs ever!

  • Hey folks, i do love Paul Weller but why do they call him modfather when he was in the Jam which to my knowledge was a punk band.

  • @BUMDRIP ,,,,,TOSSER!!

  • I love this so much

  • Awesome!

  • Consistantly Brilliant since day1.

    The Modfather!

  • was this on jools holland show,it seems to come to mind,because i remember him doing a rendition of the loved.

  • god, this amazing man is my hero!!!

  • Thanks to the 10 dislike who have made the bar look like a number burning :)

  • Up there with Lennon and McCartney in my opinion.

  • @PAFCdave

    Very good but not fit to lace their boots mate..sorry.

  • @clarence47a you have got to be kidding mate....Paul Weller as a singer songwriter is at the very least on a level playing field with Lennon and McCartney.......at the very least 

  • @scotthart2 Either you are very young or havn't heard the Lennon McCartney catalogue. I like Paul Weller, LOVED The Jam but to put him on a level playing field with L and M is madness...utter madness.

    Even he'll admit most of what he has done is borne of L and M. They did it first and best. If you havn't been to one of his gigs my advice from a fan is...Don't bother..biggest disappointment I can remember.

    Having said all that is IS still a great talent.. Each to their own anyhow

  • @PAFCdave Undoubtedly!

  • @PAFCdave id hv to agree mate!

  • @PAFCdave easily could be the fifth Beatle!! besides the fact that his song are not Beatles' style!!

  • THE MODFATHER

  • Been listening to this since 99 still haven't cleaned it out!

  • 10 dislikes were rockers

  • im a massive weller fan, and do a version of this in my live set clip on my channel if anyones interested ... peace =]

  • words of wisdom.

  • somehow he didnt put this on his hits parade album, aways been one of my favourite songs of his

  • As good as it gets!

  • Wow, this is the first time I see him. I was watching Alter Bridge - Brand New Start (Acoustic) and I accidentally pressed on this video, and I must say, thank God that I did :D

    This is awesome! I'll go check more his vids.

    Peace!

  • He's a no-nonsense dude!!

  • this performance makes me emotional.. Woking town hero!

  • what a tune mate!

  • Just awesome and so true in his words 'theres something more i can find ,its ony up to me' !!!

  • What's The Story Morning Glory? zegt: een geniale paul wat een nummer

  • totally sublime

  • such a fantastic song...

  • He is a lyrical poet of his generation, a truly awesome artist who doesn't get half the recognition he deserves, simply awesome

  • @Carphunter1970 as far as i know

    he is a god in the UK .

    don't know and he would be in the U.S

    if he toured more over there

  • He makes music for people who appreciate good lyrics and great melodies and the global superstar thing is not really what he is about. having seen documentaries where he comments on his music, he says that he makes the songs primarily for himself and if other people like them, that is a bonus! Yes, he is a God in the UK !

  • this is one of the best Weller songs ever- and if you've been fortunated enough to see him perform this live you probably appreciate it even more- weller gets better with age! love!

  • @italianpeaches I agree with everything you say cause am weller daft son
