Paul Weller - Above The Clouds

[SeanHowoOvBurnley]

paul weller = legend

end ov !!!

[0362868]

I was trying to hear a Michel Petrucciani songlist and I got...

Kenny Loggins??

[mattypark]

This song has always reminded me of I Think I'll Call It Morning by Gil Scott Heron.

[atworkguy]

Whats with the bullshit ad in fron of this video. Weller would be pissed about that.

[emiliolombardo]

you're right atworkguy ..that's because of this fucking bullshit of universalmusic group...fucking bitches

[simon1000]

commercialism sucks, let the music speak for itself, fuck the corporate wankers....rant over

[ModDaughter23]

Awesome song.

[scooterroy]

Quality Lyrics, love it

[syrupywhy]

a true working class hero n the best

[JoyStar2]

Four minutes of bliss. Ahhhhhhh.

[gordywilson]

what a song this is roll on november 29th and glasgow barrowlands

[waynesbeck]

at his best......

[pedrotingle09]

ahhh! music to my shell-like ears!

[summerpeace9]

He's so cool

I love his way!

[mozdickson]

wow - what a song!

[grovegreener]

Ah, I remember this well. I was longing for a TSC fix, and this one hit the spot. Unlike, I most the TSC was my favorite era of Mr. Weller.

[Zeesmiley]

What can I say! Paul Weller is so unique! Love this song, always a fav! I could listen to him singing all day!

[catanduva33]

The lyrics are beautiful. The song blows me away. Re  a previous comment-it does sound so like Marvin's style. Awesome.

[forestgumpaed]

days of speed didnt get the plaudits it so richly deserved.great track ,great sound.

[DangerouBeanz]

Weller is a legend,seen him at T in the park! Massive

[bobmorrice]

i was on the train home from london to edinburgh last week listening to this just as the sun was setting-listened to it about 6 times in a row

pure bliss

[wizardtruestar]

This dude is so righteous. We lost Marvin but, we still have Paul. This is like the follow up to What's Going On. Just special.

[MrGossardX]

This song is simply beautiful, it is in a playlist on my ipod w/ like "Oceans" Pearl Jam, and DMB "Satellite", and Moby's "Fireworks"

[palleagle1]

the mans got soul n he rocks, unbeatable i luv this artist

[nel766]

close ure eyes and listen to this, its pure marven...lovely.

[Bmcpherson]

This is interesting - the track is from the album but it's a live vocal - kind of like the R.E.M. South Central Rain video. Nice find.

[furtaw]

Awesome friggen voice!!!

[hidiable]

Paul is such an amazing musical genius.  Beautiful song.

[Hoopty987]

I just heard this song for the first time a couple months ago on LiveFromDarylsHouse when Daryl was with the Bacon Brothers. I had a hard time finding the original song, but now that I know I had to order I Paul Weller's Greatest Hits CD from Amazon! Awesome!!! Thanks!

[nzfifer]

hey hoopty 987 you should go for the cd ;days of speed; its the best he hass done a.t.c is on that  along with most of his best stuff in my opinion mind ive only seen hime live a few times he is god

[DangerouBeanz]

Mate if you have just found weller check out his previous bands, The Jam and The Style Council...you'll love it. Enjoy

[jangster39]

cool song!

[WKaliberr]

I love his voice. Hard to believe he is the same "kid" from The Jam.

[Oliboliboobar]

(regarding the previous comment)

Bless you, Anne-san. Yeah, you hit the nail on the head. Paul has written some extraordinary songs. Love him. Love you. ONE LOVE

[annewellerfan]

My favourite all time Paul Weller song.

I dont know what I would've done

without Weller's music over the past

30 years. ie becoming a mum moving

to Ireland with my son, Molly our Staffie.

"I'll catch the sail at evening tide"

Thats just what we did thank you Paul

Weller for your beautiful words and

music.

[luaninha70]

This sound feel me better!!!!!!

[earsuboat]

i found the single for this for 50 cents in an op shop

i was stoked!

[telboytart]

awesome

[beaubelle1966]

someone converted me! love this

[tompahallam]

There is very few songs or artist that can create a song or melody that can emancipate you to another place, for a few minutes. This melody and words are echoes!

[54spiritedwill54]

one of my favourites

[biboca68]

It sounds like the songs from the TSC period... I love them so much!

Thanks dear PW!

[modernworldsendai]

ええなぁ～

やっぱ兄貴、最高やぁ！

[anthonynevada]

what a beautiful song. thanks for posting.

[todaysc]

When you scared o' livin'

But afraid to die

I get scared or give in

And I must find what's real to beat it,yeah.

[LIVEENVIRONMENT]

OH MY GODDD!!! years ago i used to work at CVS/Pharmacy and when this song came on i would make everyone shut up and listen!!! i went crazy looking for the artist and title...BEAUTIFUL song man...so happy to FINALLY find it!!! THANKS FOR THE POST!!!

[RadSwenson]

It's a great one isn't it.I onder where the fuck he get the inspiration to write these gems??

[dih1979]

i know mate its either in you or it isnt and with paul weller and along with noel gallagher it most definately is

[ProjectChrome]

Man !! I went crazy for very long trying to find out who sang this song! And in the end it was one of my favourite singer ever...Paul Weller !!

[conchubard]

One of my favourites! Always felt his first solo album was highly underrated. For my money its his best album - of course he's had some great albums since (Wild Wood in particular)- but this one is a little apart from the rest of em. Its just got laid back jazziness about it that he seems very comfortable with. Prefer this Paul Weller to the Brit Pop one (if you know what I mean).

[janicepjam]

perfection

[feefers3]

Brilliant song.

[escarcha]

Beautiful Song! Love u Paul!

[LionRock08]

saw him at Brixton Academy last week. Still a joy. I love this song and the whole of the first solo effort. Amoungst Butterflies and Remember How we Started are lovely songs. He's still as good as ever. It must be me that's rushing by! classic.

[DreamingOfBaba]

I hear this song in stores on Musak now--It's a shame,because it's such a beautiful tune!

[xwsftassell]

What a wanker.

[greenyid]

you must be a wanker mate, this is why we're watching him and not you. give me your address and we can have a chat, i'm sure i could make you change your mind dick head

[davidoc2]

The only knobhead is you u fukin idiot!!!

[todaysc]

Through the windows of the train,

I caught reflections of a paper cup,

Hanging small in a pale blue sky,

Never knowing which ways up!

Above the clouds there's to be found,

I have to wonder will I be around?

TUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE­E!!!!!!!!!!

[harlz08]

One word...Tune!!!

[grahampl]

Black, black, it's all black...

[metrodetgurl]

...yep, and so am I! Paul is brilliant in any language. His voice is beautiful and that's undeniable. Always loved Style Council and Paul solo and this comes from a native Detroiter accustomed to hearing the best voices around!

[grahampl]

Hi Girl... Actually the "Black" I was referring to is Paul's reputation(unfounded)for being a miserable so and so..

Black, black, it's all black is a catch phrase from a British comedy sketch show...I happen to believe that Paul Weller's music is for everyone, regardless of race, creed, colour, gender etc....As a very wise man once wrote" Free your mind and your ass will follow"...

Fica com Deus!

[pdug175]

one of my favourites

[byelasmert]

This is a great song. Weller is a genius.

[carnehan5000]

Effortless class.

[trident3b]

yeah, this is good. lots of feeling.

[DHoade]

so you presume to know what pw might be thinking, thats an interesing concept,i was just being sincere pal can you dig that.

[philbio66]

I can dig it.

[Deathbyspartan]

I think Weller would just laugh at that comment and probably reply with "Im just a good F***ing good musician" Which he is!

[DHoade]

this is as good a song as i/v ever heard,never fails to lift my spirits.

[mozdickson]

beautiful, beautiful. the best things are often the simplest... the arrangement, the chords and phrasing, the backing...and teh truth spoken. God bless you PW.

[Aftzengeier]

He looks like Edwin van der sar!

[honeyburbon]

L O V E H I M

[baam81st]

lmao @ todaysc

[todaysc]

No I think that's your medicine kicking in lol.

[Benniboy93]

is this music supposed to be well... boring? or maybe thats harsh... "chilled" cause i was falling asleep by the half way point

sorry =[

[crandjons]

shut the #%&@ up. you wouldn't know good music even if it slaped you in the face and kicked you.

[ESW367]

Definitely one of my favorite solo Weller tunes. A stunner.

[nonfamerik]

pretty darn cool.. i was just getting ready to talk shit but it was good

[jojoblow01]

god bless you Mr Weller . this is my all time favourite song . I want it played at my funeral . moves me ,lifts me ,makes me smile ,inspires me and makes me cry . just the best!

[mozdickson]

I know exactly how you feel, and god has a lot to do with it believe me. this man is gifted in a special way. pray for him. those who seek will find. bless ya jojoblow01 jd

[clumsyclara99]

Beautiful.

[todaysc]

I really love this tune...I remember when I first stumbled upon it I couldn't believe that someone who is apparently white and English could produce something so full of soul and lyrics with real feeling ...

You're not God Weller but hats off to you this tune is up their with the best tunes of it's type pound for pound, for soul,guitar, vocals, lyrics...everything!

[amandawho]

LOVE.

[dimone]

It's incredible when you chart this guy's career. From a brash angry Mod rocker to such a soulful voice. Quite a journey. He's awfully good at every stage, too.

[beverleyffs]

god this video is brillllllllll i love paul weller xx

[potter0067]

My favourite PW tune of all time! Beautiful

[gillianoreilly]

happy birthday love and kizzez to you xxoo

[HIPHOPrevoltion]

gangstarr-above the clouds

[dapwhu66]

In my opinion this song comes from his best solo album. If you like this get it. Above the clouds - Weller making an inspired return to soulful song writing.

[rpj1]

I agree!!!! never got into the other solo projects....this album was pure hits!!!!

[eydyabass]

wellhard is a dog.

[oldschoolfunk]

hahah i love it not shit shit mega shit lol search arch enemy...lol

[tdob1979]

Love this song - one of my favourites

[irishbird1972]

very Style Council!!! love it

[flytipper67]

ONE OF HIS [ MANY ] FINEST MOMENTS.

[SEANBANOG4]

thank you paul

[beevapatrol]

One of his best and we all know what he's produced. Can capture feelings like no other, superb.

[satoop]

A god!!

[motown250]

class

[soulfortoday]

nice one mate ktf

[drumsyeah]

What a lovely tune....calming....Paul Weller is a real talent....

[Shytehawke]

Timeless, what a tune this is!!

Weller is the man

[SusannaG74]

this is good music. not that crap they play on tv and on the radio.

[morningsnoopy]

agree, this is a brilliant song.

he wrote it on a train back from selsey, explains a lot x

[gazza426]

I'm a straight male with three kids but hay cum on when Wellers involved I have my doubts. Wellers a God man (keep the faith)

[luzhizui]

Know what you mean. This is fab. When Style Council split, Weller's career was apparently 'finished' which gave him the hunger to produce great stuff. This song was one that turned me, as well as many other I guess, back to 'the man'!

Weller is/was one of the great vocalists; rock power combined with melody and soul.

Influenced by black music, but bringing his own 'stamp'.

[modfather41]

A living legend, just pure class

[anathefairy]

just perfect! well..it is paul weller!

[jimmydv777]

i love this song.paul wellers acoustic version off days of speed album is much better though

[lopoex]

Marvin gaye called, he's offering a primer course on "originality".Don't be hurt, if it's TRUTH.For the TRUTH will SET you free.This guy's greeeat!!!

[pdood101]

should of been a style council song . cheque

[nuttydreadlock]

nice cold beer warm sunshine and this playing in the background perfect

[deepaintpish]

Paul Weller's always been a mover & shaker, mindblowing?

[gabry64]

Paul Weller is God!

[walleyrange]

the middle eight is one of the greatest moments on record. Paul Weller is God

[paddypony]

Paul is great, even with that paisley pink telecaster.

[nuttydreadlock]

top boy top tune he the man

[0630nicknu]

Everybody wants to be Paul Weller.....The man is a god.

[Sandrina20]

Oh Paul, just sing to me........

[FORRY999]

It be a lurvely wee song right enough rrrrr

[lopoex]

marvin gaye.

[carpenteroak]

Paul Weller!

[lizabeln]

I agree with both of you.  I hear & see Marvin Gaye, "What's going on" but yet I hear Paul do this song and my heart just melts.

[Ihatenumptys]

If I caught Sir Weller in bed with my missus, I'd put a blanket over them.

[FORRY999]

yer a gid man tam !

[seany83]

hahaha. :)

[dacritter]

cause your a jerk off

[wilpic1]

Weller is a modern day Jesus, just listen to the messages in his songs - the loved,fly little bird, savages etc...

[fungirlx]

i love this song!!

[GreenWave76]

Take it from this yank, Sir Paul Weller, is the spokesperson of our generation.His music speaks so true.

[vgogh80]

Mods ya bas! Love his first self titled album till the new one now......the man is gawd!

[bedsitter1982]

This man is a f*cking genius.

[ATS68]

This reminds me of the early Style Council grooves that are timeless and so cool to shuffle across the floor to. I always felt that Paul had dialed into the Marvin Gaye vibe on this one as well as Long Hot Summer. Classic...Paul Weller is the truth!

[purneda]

SO COOL TO LISTEN TO...BEAUTIFUL!!!

[oliyou1966]

This is Weller at his most vunerable. This man is a genius. Chin up Paul.

[gossardX]

I love this song, this and Uh Huh Oh Yeah are my fav. Paul Weller songs! He's a genius this song reminds me of summer time.

[Nosmos]

Very Style Council-ish...lovely summery pop music. I think Weller does that kind of stuff so well. Up there with Long Hot Summer.

[modfather1965]

Wow, I love YouTube... Wonderful artist, great song, great pink paisley tele (I've got one of these; never knew that Weller sometimes plays on one; how cool is that?). I believe his acoustic version of this song on Days of Speed is how it's heard best. Long live Paul Weller.

[DreamingOfBaba]

Nice to finally see this video--I LOVE this song!

[roxyjanesarah]

Wow.. found this song.. at last!! he's a true talent.. such a soulful singer... musically he produces the most amazin song's

this song makes me feel better... & strong!

respects to mr weller xx

[bunnibabenco]

Above the clouds whats to be found I have to wonder will I be around As my anger shouts at my own self doubt So a sadness creeps into my dreams When youre scared of living but afraid to die I get scared of giving and I must find the faith to beat it I must be me thats rushing by Time lingers on the wind Bristlin through my open fears I wonder what its going to bring Above the clouds whats to be found I have to wonder will I be around Run and hide I catch the sail at evenings tide

[the247editor]

One of those songs that make you happy to be alive...Thanks Mr.Weller for everything you have given us.

[UNCLESWHOLLOP]

"AS MY ANGER SHOUTS AT MY OWN SELF DOUBT, SO SADNESS CREEPS INTO MY DREAMS, WHEN YOUR SCARED OF LIVING BUT AFRAID TO DIE, I GET SCARED OF GIVING AND I MUST FIND THE FAITH TO

BEAT IT YEH YEHHH YEHHHHH!

Somes up everything for me....

Thanks Paul....

[redirishterrier]

Thats exactly it mate, he strikes a chord with his fans. We can all relate to him. The God that he is ! There is no other artist comes close.

[bertieboxer62]

Seen him at Deeside with the Jam and solo a few times years later, you cant deny he's a living music legend now. Especially to a lot of scooterists who have grown up with his music.

[warrenfromrhyl]

great ,

[nickandjo1971]

GOD

[gerrwb]

Above the clouds, still as fresh today as when it was released 14 years ago. Weller is god. Im lucky enough to have seen him in all his genre's since first seeing him in The Jam at the Apollo in Glasgow in 1978

[0630nicknu]

Weller is a god. He has stood the test of time and is still the greatest.

[lizspbrazil]

Paul...marry me????

[LucindaLC]

i love to hear this song all the time, but its perfect for a rainy day. Or any lazy weekend morning, just reading the paper and hanging out with a loved one.

[soula48]

The greatest singer-song writer the UK has ever produced. I've grown up listening to PW and he just get's better. Nominated this one for my funeral!

[callamnffc]

one of the very few living legends alive in music today....great live too :)

[devamsuviro]

What a beautiful song. I love this guy for all his amazing songs!

[merisman]

[Wattsie]
