[missbieberbeauty]

im young but my dad is one of paul weller/the jam 's biggest fan and he sings this song, i love it so much. Isnt paul weller so insparational. This is the best male singing voice u will ever here!

[mizzam]

i sing this song to my daughter (emily rose 5 yrs old ) at bedtime she loves it, its a beautiful beautiful song

[4KinnelFire]

I would like to dedicate this song to my ex wife sandra nicholls, who fell into a deep sleep on the 30th of june 2011 aged 49..

16 days after our 1st born childs birthday, michael age 22.

Although we had our differences, she was, and always will be, the best thing that ever happened in my life.

She gave me two sons i'm so proud of,

I would do it all over again, just to be in her presence.

All my love,

pete xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[dmien746]

[forestgumpaed]

pure class,great posting.

[mrjimmyhaggis1]

Ps: Geezer? How 60's is THAT! Lol

[mrjimmyhaggis1]

@ theaceface. I wasn't dissing the song. I was referring to some of the comments. Ie: About English purity etc etc. Despite the fact I live in a "Lesser" country (Scotland) LOL ... I like Paul Weller.

[mrjimmyhaggis1]

It's only a song for fuck sake. Get a life ! Bawbags !

[theaceface]

@mrjimmyhaggis1 sometimes... a song can touch peoples hearts.this is one of them.

[periloushomous]

dapper & romantic Paul Weller...The only one

[Persia321]

what guitar is he playing anyone?

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

the english are not a pure race anyway, yet some protagonists still make pathetic claims

[TheTwollocks]

@COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY ..... the english are not a pure race why do you even have to say that.....we all know where we come from it makes me laugh that you think we dont know....this man was born in england and raised in england .....why are you trying to be-little the english..... you are a racist

[letme26]

@COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY

are you a colonial by any chance?

[cyaninternetpig]

i love paul weller been to see him and will keep on seeing him and also introduce my child to his music xx your the mod and thankyou for all these years of listening to oyur music

another 30 more years eh xx

[paulwilk1]

I've never seen/heard this version before. Loved the raw simplicity on All Mod Cons. This is even better.

[DrewPee70]

he has to be one of the best singer/songwriters of our generation . . . :)

[BadmanZyd]

Only Paul Weller can sing about an English Rose in Germany and get such a lovely reception. Beautiful stuff.

[QTHEQ1]

wedding song number 2

[jerste]

And nevertheless England hasn't thanked Paul Weller well enough.

[ifonly1962]

Met my rose in 79 amd whilst she was no mod came to Hammy to see Jam and still together. But different now and i'm glad bit later but still relevant

[p3kop]

the man ,the real youth spokesman.his songs are about our life working class hero.enough said

[MrVinalmagic]

[dansak001]

@MrVinalmagic  14 freekin idiots!

[3FrostyD]

14 dislikes. lol. arseholes.

[dan32113]

i will return to my english rose, forever..

[MacWillyFortunes]

I never thought I'd say that Paul Weller's voice is beautiful, but here it totally is. Amazing that the same guy sung In the City.

[MrVinalmagic]

@MacWillyFortunes in the city was the first album this was on the third album all mod cons and if u get to listen to it check out fly and the place i love

[thrddr]

This is how music is supposed to sound :)



[waynemr121]

Makes it look so easy. Nice living eh!

[SuperStarlight777]

This song shows Paul's softer side. Amazing. Love it.

[DaveEnsor]

Good song

[Toddmeistro]

Stunningly simple tune. The best always are.........

[asiadevils]

25 years i've been listening to the master,a beautifully crafted musical genius.

this will always be my all time fave.. cheers mr.weller for being part of my life for so long...

[theseer27]

what a fucking voice. 

[Hotdoggy32]

Amazing one of his best!!!

[ButtonmanUK]

If there was ever a song that should be classed as the Nations song this is it.

[mwoodward79]

Just beautiful. Listen to this over and over!

[andyh109]

Legend.

[debs64]

I wake up to this every morning - love it

[xIIS1cKnEsSIIx]

[josh1985lufc]

brilliant

[marinababic]

For no bonds, nothing and no-one can ever keep me from he...

[mrmagoo1016]

@marinababic she

[MissMuffyinAZ]

What an amazing song and an amazing voice he has.

[Herzstopper94]

Everytime I hear this song I want to take a shit. In a beautiful way

[wandajeffrey]

Every time I hear this song it makes me feel so lonely but in a beautiful way

[woosh1234567890]

for charlotte cutler <3

[annewhitehand]

Beautiful lyrics...

[porker3]

hefty 777, You do realise this song originates from The Jams 1978 album, All Mod Cons ?

[nealtracy]

@porker3 ....I think hes taking the piss mate!....I laughed like a bastard when i read his comment!.....Long Live Weller!

[arsenalpricey]

superb

[hetty777]

I love this. His best song since leaving The Who.

[DjKennySharp]

You mean The JAM !

[89cheapmonday]

@hetty777 The Who!? Get a grip mate.

[0155SD]

@hetty777 don't you mean the jam

[ChristianTabone]

@hetty777 LOL

[hetty777]

@ChristianTabone Thanks

[Croft619]

@hetty777 Epic Fail.

[keiren69]

@Croft619 Shut the fuck up nonse

[RideToTheHills2010]

@hetty777  The jam you plonker!

[thejenkoLFC]

@hetty777 the fukin jam...from 78 all mod cons

[tbyjb1]

this is lovely. just like the Faces " Debris"

[Oxmix64]

@tbyjb1 "Debris" is one of my favourite songs. I think Ronnie Lane wrote it as a tribute to his father. "English Rose" reminds me of my father for some silly reason. There is a staunch patriotism about the song. I never connected these two songs before, so thanks!!

[777philip]

Beautiful memories!!!

[peteworcester]

This is for my first love and my last love, love yove so much sharon, we will be as one in the end xxxx

[njg4570]

Mr.Weller you are a pure genius.....Why o why did you ever split up the greatest band that has ever been....?????

[missjenx123]

Lovely song

[leinstermad]

Just beautiful. Ultimate Weller. The man's a genius.

[loumcdoo]

Weller @ his Ultimate...!

[RetroGuy5000]

what a beautiful song 

[souljahshocky]

great record on my last day in IRAQ 2004 this song went through my head a thousand time and now listening to the lyrics the flying and ancient lands section of the song means so much more ...... i now also think that i could have ended up in a box going through WB with people throwing roses on my hurst . most of all it reminds me of the smile Alexia used to give me .............

a

[Ethemillars]

@souljahshocky Wow - I just read your message. Powerful stuff - God bless you & thanks for making us safe! I hope you & yours have a great life. Its guys like you that make this world a safer & more stable place for us and our kids. Thanks!

[TheGeorgieLotte]

My husband dedicted this song to me when we got married & its beautiful <3

[weeblefishII]

This should definitely by England's national anthem. Oh, and I dedicate it to Caitlin Day, beautiful and intelligent. I love you Cait.

[sakhaline]

@weeblefishII

This is definitely England's international anthem.

I'm not the only french guy who can't listen to this song without shedding a tear.

Thank you so much, Paul, for this and everything else ...

[Goomba1002]

I Dedicate this too all who have sadly passed away or lost people who are very close. I Dedicated this to my Mums Freind, Who Sadly has cancer :(

[Goomba1002]

Lovely Song, Great For Weddings.

[1cadet1]

Trust Weller to perform English Rose in front of a German audience. Mad respect

[forestgumpaed]

simply awe inspiring....brilliant

[SIMONHATELEY]

i named my daughter after this song , without paul weller in my life , life would be like a blunt pencil ...pointless

[FMGLAD]

IM SCOTTISH, MY DARLIN GRAN THAT BROUGHT ME UP ALL MY LIFE IS ENGLISH N THE WORLDS SAY IT ALL, LOVE U GLADYS UR MY HEART XXXXX

[defpoet28]

@mtaylor848 I'm sure there was some sort of visible translation, on a monitor or something other. Otherwise, the whole song would have been wasted:)

[Smithy378]

@Forestgumpaed what a lovely song to choose for her, brought a tear to my eye.

[ABITTERSWEETGIRL]

beautiful... pure beauty.. as always Weller..

[PoireauMan68]

I don;t buy it...some recent stuff good and Weller has been a spokesperson for a generation which returned to a dole office or a building site buying cans of Fosters from a local Tesco. Weller blackened a bit but he started off too white for my liking. Acoustic he is plain ridiculous...Listen to Lagoya or any old Gypsie in a Montpellier backyard. His Englishness always rubbed me off the rong way but nice guitars and nice shoes, I admit. Nuf Dna Nis Reeb.

[mightofmccready]

@PoireauMan68 your a prick, dont bother listening if your gimp ears cant understand!!!!!!!!!!! prick!!!

[banjgoboy24]

Ive tried siead elton worked for sting, do you fancy making a bit. who was and is your first er.

[cougher989]

Daaamn! I heard this on the Stargate Universe episode "Humans". I don't watch Stargate, I was just flipping through the channels... talk about wonderful coincidence. Beautiful song.

[goldengaze09]

absolutely adore this song.

[mlcll1]

i am 46...i had all the jam s albums and i could sing just about every word of every song on those albums...Paul Weller is a one of a kind ..check out ..SETTING SONS..album..my son is 13 and he loves The Jam..wasteland is a highlight....this statement may annoy young people but today s music is rubbish..this man s writing along with Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam understand the feelings of the present...see you in Melbourne PAUL...

[daddyp1962]

@mlcll1 im 48 and thier my sentiments to a T. my boy is 8 he,s into the beatles

[Britain1251]

went straight to iTunes and bought it, what a gorgeous song

[stevec321123]

WICKED SONG ON A COOL DAY

[johnyboytown]

i grew up on this music, still love it.

[joecrookes]

What great performance this song is so powerful and underrated too.

[bagariddum]

english rose is about the love that he knows he should have had. it haunts him. he cannot commit to another because she is always his (in his own head). the idea is that you should tell the one you love that you love her/him. if you don't you will be singing this song for the rest of your unfulfilled days.

[pritch9598]

beautiful song and i married one

[johnpizarelli89]

I am playing this for a couple at a wedding, never heard it before but think this will be a beautiful song to do! :)

[MegaEmo94]

my friend just dedicated this song to me. i love it xx

[denisemoddette]

i a wee lancashire english rose living in northern ireland blossoming but missing sweet england ,

[watsonanio]

I have a friend called Jason who sings this much better then this - I wish you could hear it!!! This song is special to me because I am living in Australia but my heart will always be in England.

[crewebiker]

This song is very close to my heart as I moved to Ireland in August and my English Rose had to stay in our hometown. She's my bestfriend and soulmate and i'll always return to her. If there comes a day when the planes stop flying and the ferries stop sailing i'll always have the strength to kayak the Irish Sea for her.

[scottmarshall83]

@crewebiker how gay

[banjgoboy24]

@crewebiker do it then dont talk,think just do.......... something.

[angelusgabrielus1982]

@crewebiker I love your sentiment, and it's exactly how I feel about my girlfriend, you're a true man

[lonermanc]

reminds me of mcfc now we win a trophy at long last

[marcmarc10]

[fatsweets]
