Britains greatest ever singer songwriter! Paul Weller has always had the ability to bring out every emotion in his lyrics and music, long may that continue.
The tears flow every time I hear this, people and dangerous passions!! I lost a soul mate and think of him all these years later after being found dead with a needle in his arm, yet he was such an intelligent man, and a strong man until he lost his way. I love you Stuart R.I.P
without doubt the most underated weller track ever! alongsige ghosts this tune will never falter haunting moving & human ...& wow what a performance seems only like yesterday. rip john weller
Wow-a forgotten gem from a legend. When you consider who his contemporaries were, you realise how he has lasted far longer and kept writing beautiful songs - though i reckon there are a fair few who miss the Style Council. Still nice memories - saw them in 82 at Wembley arena - they were the best band I ever saw..
This song is just so emotional and it is Paul at his best...even though it was written during The Style Council years he was at his most poignant and politically minded at this time...his gravelly voice has matured over the years and has made him one of the finest British vocalists alongside Steve Winwood...
This song was about his old mate Dave Waller, he was in the original Jam line up from their school days. Im pretty sure Dave Waller died from a heroin overdose in 1980. Its good to hear how it has evolved, have a listen to the original version from 'our favorite shop', its very good as well
You can see Weller's approval of guitar rythym by one of the Ocean Colour Scene members at around 1.46secs. Amazing lyrics, Paul Weller at his very best.
Great version of a great song- think I like this more than the version on My Favourite Shop. Paul Weller could sing the contents of the Greater London Phonebook and it would still sound profound
@moveonupcb noels voice lets him down , really mate , i know you made this comment a year ago but theres no way im lettin you get away with that , noels voice is the bollocks just like weller, just listen to his teenage cancer trust gigs, tell you what have a look at oasis half the world away at the barrowlands live , and then tell me how great his voice is
weller carreer is much more impressive than gallaghers - i think noel writes good songs but his voice lets him down. the jam were a much better band than oasis hands down

30 plus years of this man and his beautiful music. We are lucky to have this man on earth. Weller is a gem indeed.

without doubt the most underated weller track ever! alongsige ghosts this tune will never falter haunting moving & human ...& wow what a performance seems only like yesterday.

As singer songwriters go in Britain, he is the best. From the Jam to the underated Style Coucil to solo today. The man is a genius!
Amazing version of a great song. Weller is an under rated vocalist who like a fine wine gets better with age.

A brilliant song and the best version I've ever heard.
I 've seen this many times. I love it more and more each time I see it.
Top this? No-one can. paul weller is a rare genius indeed
Well there was Strummer/Jones..
This song is just so emotional and it is Paul at his best...even though it was written during The Style Council years he was at his most poignant and politically minded at this time...his gravelly voice has matured over the years and has made him one of the finest British vocalists alongside Steve Winwood...
Makes me wanna cry

PERFECT
Weller = LEGEND
Gosh...I miss The Style Council...We still have The Mod Father to listen to solo, so that is a blessing.
This song was about his old mate Dave Waller, he was in the original Jam line up from their school days. Im pretty sure Dave Waller died from a heroin overdose in 1980. Its good to hear how it has evolved, have a listen to the original version from 'our favorite shop', its very good as well
Great song
Respect mr weller nice x
top tune

8 times iv seen weller he is pure class a legend . i would say he is the best singer songwriter ever lived , i cant name anyone who gets close .
Here here, I play in a Jam tribut eband and what a man of great promise and fullfillment.
excellent, saw this on Tv or did I dream it?? Classic Weller track,off to see him in Halifax on the 5th May!!
great but very sad thought provoking song .
Does anyone know if this song was written about a real person ?It's one of my favourite songs.Regards.
❤
My favo
That's entertainment!
Not a fan of the version on My Favourite Shop but loved this version first time I heard it and still do
Great version of a great song- think I like this more than the version on My Favourite Shop.
Paul Weller could sing the contents of the Greater London Phonebook and it would still sound profound
Totally agree of your comments
Didnt like the track on Our Favourite Shop...but this as an acoustic with Weller's aged gravel is emotionally moving....class
A song about his The Jam fellow band member Dave Waller, who was with the band in the early days. Waller died of heroin addiction.
Sum.this up
Great
yeah deffo. you know!
@danny6655 i envy you for that pleasure...here in nothern germany its not possible seeing him live on stage.. :-((((..good to have you tube, at least

@moveonupcb it aint even a contest mate !
Hello
Mod Father

No comparison. They are not on the same level, by no means.
@moveonupcb noels voice lets him down , really mate , i know you made this comment a year ago but theres no way im lettin you get away with that , noels voice is the bollocks just like weller, just listen to his teenage cancer trust gigs, tell you what have a look at oasis half the world away at the barrowlands live , and then tell me how great his voice is

weller carreer is much more impressive than gallaghers - i think noel writes good songs but his voice lets him down. the jam were a much better band than oasis hands down
i thought it may have been about steve marriott (EX SMALL FACES)who was a massive inspiration to paul, but may not be.
he is god but simon fowler is equal...
about his mate who died of the drugs but was a better song writer than him
Noel a better singer than Weller?
Pif.
i'll have to disagree about noel's voice, i think he's a better singer than weller and he's got a wider range. just my opinion of course
Sum.this up
Great
