My favourite love song by my favourite singer, guitarist and writer. Only problem for me is that he wrote this song about his first wife Dee and i always thought that anyone who could write such a beautiful song had to be genuine and felt true everlasting love. He has been married twice since then. Ah those poets and their words. Still Paul is tops for me after all these years,
This song, A Year Late, ranks, I think among his overall best work, both as writer and performer. A crystalline piece of songcraft with the twin Weller attack of being brutal and gentle at once is on fine display here. You only need to hear this song once to INSTANTLY know what he meant by the title. Lachrymose and brutal simultaneously, as only the rogue Weller can do, in song, at least. This is the only Weller track that to me seems almost too private to release. Anyone?
I was so possessed by this version last month I immediately set out to figure out how to get the audio. I can't say I did the best job of it...but I am glad I did. I listened to it about 30 times in a row.
I absoutuely love this song. Does anyone know the correct guitar chords for this one. Been learning this song for ages but not using the correct cords. Can't even get them on the net. The guitar playing on this song is truly amazing and the singing also. Please someone give me the correct chords.
Back again to give it another look, even though I've got this performance on video. Anybody read the new Weller Biography? got it for Xmas and finished it by New Year. Very insightful. Still adore this song.
Top song that! Weller at his best. Weller is God

@MOGTROG Fuck critics. Weller is the victim is major classism, but is arguably the best songwriter this country has ever produced....

This was released as a b side song...was it to pebbles on a beach? He also re-released it on the second cd of stanley road.
Must admit that this one ranks with Fly(all mod cons). But each to his own.

This was the b-side to 'You do something to me' and there was a huge heart on the back of the single... my favourite Paul Weller song.
