most badass old guy ever, i forgot how much i loved pauls music when i started listning to oasis and then i heard wake up the nation on the radio and went mental for mr weller again (keep in mind im 13)
Paul. please accept some brotherly advice from a long time fan.......bring back Whitey and Damon. You've successfuly done your share of branching out and expanding your musical palet, now downshift it all to continue at your best speed to date! Luv ya man!
I've been a fan of Wellers' for a long long time but this is crap imo. Branching out is only good if the stuff you're doing is quality. I'm not like some people who'd like whatever he did whether it was crap or not.
Does anybody know what "7&3 is the strikers name" means? Is this a striker in football? A political striker? Why doesn't "strikers" have an apostrophe? I'm guessing these are references to things that are clear in England, but I can't make heads or tails of them. I also know Paul has said the song is a swipe at the monarchy and aristocracy, which I see in the lyrics, but it doesn't help me with the title.
britain needs standardisation...in fish n chip quality. in newspaper. at a fair price. where the management dont hog the salt n vinegar. paul weller should branch out. put down the gibson and pick up the fat frier.perhaps only weller's brand name could stand behind a product, as reasonably priced and cross the board tasty...like say, blue magic. put down the sg, paul, pick up the fat frier. mod n chips. twice. my favourite chip shop.
horrible! a mid-life crisis f i ever heard one! totally impenetrable and un-memorable mush from a man who is capable of writing a 'song'. he really doesnt need to try to blow minds like this...
@dukebox i totally disagree- This is called branching out and reminds me of some of the jams experimental stuff- at 52 its good to see paul breaking free from traditonal song structures which if you were a musician youd know get pretty confining!- atleast this is challenging! But one mans garbage is anothers treasure - glad hes throwing out the rule book!
Whoever put the overdubs on this track ruined it!!!!!. Listen to the live version which is so much better and should have been released as the single version!.
I've been subscribed to this channel for a while, but i don't recall seeing any other videos for quite a while... so i'm not at all up to date: is this a new song, a new album? or a new performance of an older song. He's such an amazing talent.... and the interview that leads off this channel, it's so inspiring. No artifice, a ton of humility, and a strong work ethic --- that's all in addition to being a great musician & songwriter.
Nearly as good as some of my tunes. Nice.

The man is getting better and better and even more innovative with every album.
Forget about the retro and conservative people doubting this direction Paul, it's absolutely fascinating!
