Kudos to Mr Weller for acknowledging that great song writing is not contained by genre.
Beautifully done
🤔He’s got 7 kids 🙃.. 🔥& skill 🐐🙏🏿
He is a muso at heart and appreciates all talent despite the genre.
Can you imagine being billie, knowing that one of the GREATEST artists love your song so much he covers it. I mean cmon that's just class. Talent always recognizes talent.
Paul Weller is a national treasure. A true genius and he has left his mark with a beautiful rendition of a lovely song. Music is his life.
Never truer words spoken! He's left quite a few marks.
I agree! His genius level is up there with Miles Davis
Music is life ❤❤
That voice has lived a life.
From the 70s to now, Paul Weller has always been a great singer
I’m 43… not sure if the original is more haunting to my soul, as it makes me feel like I’m a teenager again… or Weller’s version which makes me feel like the old man I’ll eventually become. Both are exquisite 🙏
Aww that brought tears 😭
I'm 61 and both versions spoke to me in the inverse way, bittersweet for the life I've had, from teenager to near-retirement, the constant self-questioning, the potential - realized and not - and the perpetual uncertainty, and hope, for what remains of my (our) time on Earth.
yeah it is so fascinating hearing it from an older perspective.
You are exquisite. Bravo man👏
There is beauty in all
I'm standing here in my kitchen halfway around the world, not even wanting to breathe as I listen to this song -- it just autoplayed and I just froze in place to take it all in. Big thanks to the algorithm for bringing me this little slice of bliss. Paul Weller (and the rest of this great band) is perfect.
Stunning version , Paul Weller has a beautiful voice and this song fits it perfectly. ❤
A duet between Paul and Billie would be pure magic!
Oh yeah. Would love to see that happen for sure 👍🏻
Now that I would love to see!
No thanks
For me.. This man can't do anything wrong.... Brilliant.
What a brilliant version and what a stunning endorsement from one generational talent to another
Paul Weller is like a fine wine and just gets better with age, his voice is better than ever! 66 is fab and this is just lovely
I haven't seen him in years, he morphed into a splendid classical sculpture
Paul just has that way of making a song his own , stunning this
I’ve been listening to Paul Weller since 1977…what an incredible talent.
This performance demonstrates that this song works on all levels. Is genre-less. All encompassing. What Billie and FINEAS created lives on in so many great ways.
The great Mr Weller has been one of my favourite musicians since I was a schoolgirl back in the early 80s.
❤🙏
Quite stunning and very moving. Can't imagine how my life would have unfolded without him and his music - thank you sir.
🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢
Paul Weller is a treasure! Seems the Brits so appreciate him for good reason. Here in the US? Sadly not so well known. Deserves a lot more respect over here in the US.
I'm freezing cold with emotion listening to this
So touching. It is possible to perform this song so differently but beautiful. Simply a different statement of art.
Never disappoints. He's the best Great cover ❤❤❤
Paul Weller’s voice is as good now if not better than ever. Brilliant and slightly unexpected cover.
No words do Justice. Wonderful job Mr Weller and band. Great great song by Billie Eilish and Finneas.
The bloke is timeless, great voice!
Wow, the legend just keeps on surprising with his raw talent
It’s 🥲Paul Weller ❤perfect voice for this! Love him
Beautiful
An awesome song covered by an amazing artist,would love to hear them duet
Wasn't expecting to like this, ended up loving it. Lovely Cover. I know he's thinking of another cover album, songs like this would be amazing.
Heart achingly beautiful. Not often I have seen Paul singing other artists songs as it’s usually the other way round. Truly beautiful song by Billy Eilish.
Absolutely brilliant
From the 70’s a fresh punky drink to a beautiful fine red wine 🍷 pour me another Mr Weller 🫶🏻
What a wonderful cover of this song! I'm such a huge billie eilish fan, This is incredible.
Before hearing this version, the only version that lives in my head rent free is the meow meow meow meow version. Thank you Mr Weller for covering this!
Perfection ❤❤❤
What a beautiful performance!
Paul Weller covering Billie? That was not on my literally ANY YEAR bingo card. Love it
Paul Weller is a gem!
Fantastic ! Paul when he does a cover always picks brilliant songs and adds to them this is no exception , is there no end to his talent? I hope not.Wishing on a star is sublime .
My hero ❤️ That voice is like pure velvet 😍
What a voice, instantly recogniseable 👌🏼
Perfection.
Age and experience add a sweet gravitas to an already rich and meaningful song.
Breathtaking 😢touched me deeply

He Still is a Very Gifted Artist 🦋💜

Awesome rendition. I'm a fan of Billie and have always been a fan of Paul 😊
Wow. I have always loved Paul Weller in all his musical incarnations but now having a teenager about to leave home this means something else.
Absolutely beautiful.

I've never heard this before but I'm moved and in complete awe, of both Paul's interpretation and Billies talent. Fucking wow!!!

Nailed it! 無懈可擊！

Sublime.
Great song
Love it
Good to see like a version has been adopted around the world
Beautiful ❤
And to think this could have been a cover of Spirit in the sky. Returned to this today after listening to Moonie and Dan on the Paul Weller podcast 2024 catch up.
delightful
Beautiful song, a masterpiece ⚡🎸🎼🎹💣
It is rare that I hear a cover that I think is better than the original. His Studio 150 Album didn't quite do it for me. This one does. His voice is better in his 60s than ever, which is surprising. Gorgeous.
This just made me cry cos it so amazing so good and special. Love this xxxx
I'm very happy to see this ✨✨✨
Wow ❤❤❤
