Graduated high school in 1983. Listened to bands like The Jam, Aztec Camera, Tears For Fears, Echo And The Bunnymen and this band among many others. This was one of my all time favorites. 57 now and I see the time in my face and can't believe how much time has passed. Friends passing, old relationships, thick dense memories still haunt me when I hear this song. I know in my heart we will all be ok. Many dear blessings all.
I'm with you; I graduated in '84 and hit 58 last February, this is always on my playlist when I'm in my car. If you're like me and listen to this on long drives, you might find yourself zoning back to your youth and forgetting where your going, so drive safe! 😄
I agree! Loved them in the early 80s, and still love the music now! However, I think that PWs reflections are not that positive? I always feel he is embarrassed by The Style Council? I could be completely wrong.
I remember going on an early morning bicycle ride in the mid-1980s while listening to this song on my Walkman. It was about 5:30am, still dark and not a car on the road. I put in 70 miles that day. This song takes me right back to that summer morning.
Looks like it was filmed on the avenue at Kentwell Hall, Long Melford, Suffolk. I have driven, ridden, and walked, along there many times in the last 40-odd years - and have even staggered along there in the opposite direction after closing time at The Hare, The Swan, and various other pubs.
I think the issue people have is that Style Council was such a radical departure from what The Jam were. What a lot of the "haters" don't understand is that Paul Weller has always been a fan of American RnB and soul. Even The Jam kind of started off that way and when punk exploded, they were influenced by it and went in that direction (at least in the beginning).
You have to remember Style Council were born out of The Jam and along with his solo career, proves Paul Weller was and still is one of the most influential musicians of all time
And a plagiarist.... Changing Man ripped off from Electric Light Orchestra "10538 Overture" and "Start!" ripped off The Beatles - Taxman. They aren't even subtle acknowledgments to the originals, just outright rip-offs
This is surely one of the best songs ever. Partly it is knowing what Weller had done previously, but the tone, the tempo, the Jazz, the change from before, the trumpet, for people of a certain age it is a place in time.
Love this song so much and as time goes on, I realize the genius that is Paul Weller, especially at that time in the 80's when he was really going out on a limb with this style change from being in such an iconic punk band. Cheers PW and the Style Council!
In quell'anno frequentavo l'ultimo anno delle superiori;in classe tutti entusiasti degli Style Council .Bellissimi ricordi e pensieri anche per alcuni amici e compagni che ci hanno lasciato troppo presto.Buona vita a tutti quelli che hanno amato questi brani.
I lived in London in 1984-5-6 ...... sometimes I listen to a song, like this one, and I'm instantly transported back to those days with the memories coming back vivid and clear. Sitting here in 2020 my "London days" seem a lifetime away most of the time ... funny how a song(s) can trip your brain to time travel.
I feel the same way. I lived in Laguna Beach, CA when this came out. Sunny days and driving in my car. Still beautiful music. It stands the test of time. Just like I'll always love Elvis Costello's first five albums.
gabba ..same here..their songs trigger that emotion or feeling even though i dont quiet believe how powerfully music captures our moments times..etc..I can hear one and feel sad or emotional. As if Im back there in my early teens. .Loved london in 80's..
I lived in Madrid in 1983-84. That was also the year that Michael Jackson’s Thriller video debuted to the world. I remember where I was when I saw it. Whenever I hear Adam Ant, Simple Minds and InXcess, I think of my time in Madrid.
fantastic stories of where you heard this and where you loved it. thanks so much for sharing! Time is not linear, therefore songs can take you STRAIGHT back to that time and place, what a gift!
Their CAFE BLEU album in 1984 was one of my favorite albums, having so many good songs on it, especially THE PARIS MATCH featuring Everything But The Girl's Tracey Thorn & Ben Watt. Ahhh, the 80's.......
I am 58 (feel like I'm 21 again when I listen to these great tunes). Happy days, seems like yesterday- but can we agree....80s music saw some original, talented, fascinating and brilliant innovations in many music genres. Even Weller here, his involvement in post punk alt rock and softer melancholic stuff like this is an incredible tribute to him and his supporting musicians. Just a great time to be an appreciator of good talent, then and now, at my age.
Brilliant song was in London staying with mates , over from Dublin bought the 12inch single version in H.M.V. great song love Weller seen the Jam !! Living in the States now miss those days .☘️

“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams
At age sixty-four allowing for the passage of time and searing loss i rely on my memories and find them vexing at times. I ponder those losses and the channels for my personality which have been cut-off.
I was sitting in a cafe in Soho in the 80’s and Paul came in and sat at the table opposite. I literally could hardly finish my drink. He was alone and so was I. It was a moment. What a genius!
Couldnt believe I heard this on the radio. Never heard it before. Glad they said the name and I was able to remember it later. Listen to the Greatest hits album all the time. Till the walls come tumbling down so good
+The Artful Dodger he's amazing but there is one album thats horrid...it was i think the last one he put out...i discovered them way back in the 80's...there's an actual term for this type of music its called sofisti-pop
dale h I saw a documentary about Weller saying Style Council's follow-up second LP was weak. They went on to make strong records after that. Many artists have the same thing happen. They have their whole lives to write the songs for the first album but when pressed to do a quick follow-up they run dry.
+The Artful Dodger it was acrually a pul weller solo cd im talking about...i absolutely love everything The Style Council has put out...and if you didnt know this look up the bnd The Jam, that was Paul Wellers bnd before the style council
Still listening went to see 84 oxford first ever gig 40 years later went to see the style councillors tribute at hmv coventry still timeless songs keep the faith real summer sounds.....
Been a fan of Mr Weller since his early work in The Jam 80's riding my Lambretta with a ton of mirrors, my Parka & listening to all things Mod & Ska Good Days
I could be in a terrible mood and this song will just brighten my day instantly, been listening to this gem for years and i swear it just gets better Every time........
Hello! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
This is one of those bands that came on in the 80's very quietly but still very stong. Always respected the lyrics and sound of the Style Council, have not hear a band quite like them since.
This song brings back memories of my wonderful youth, late 60's early 70's, lazy summer day's in Prospect Park, Motown, Blue Eyed Soul, R & B and early Funk. Beatles, Stones , Who etc. / Paul Weller an old soul with such vision. / So Beautiful !!!
Never noticed before, but this is actually a protest song against either government or war. Great song. I remember this from Southern California in the 80's.
The song that turned me onto the Style Council ( One of the greatest names for a band ever ) when I was in 10th grade in the U.S. ( Chicago )....What an indispensable artist, and song writer Paul Weller has been for so many years now....He's the best....His music brings me so much joy, and solace....
Listening to this song today picking up my daughter from school...feels like paradise. Paul, thank you for your life’s work of making these songs. I hope you know how much what you do means to others and enriches their lives!
Daylight turns to moonlight, and I'm at my best Praising the way it all works and gazing upon the rest The cool before the warm, the calm after the storm Oh the cool before the warm, the calm after the storm I wish to stay forever, letting this be my food Oh but I'm caught up in a whirlwind and my ever changing moods Bitter turns to sugar, some call a passive tune But the day things turn sweet, for me won't be too soon The hush before the silence, the winds after the blast Oh the hush before the silence, the winds after the blast I wish we'd move together, this time the bosses sued Oh but we're caught up in the wilderness and an ever changing mood Teardrops turn to children, who've never had the time To commit the sins they pay for through, another's evil mind The love after the hate The love we leave too late The love after the hate, the love we leave too late I wish we'd wake up one day, and everyone feel moved Oh but we're caught up in the dailies and an ever changing mood Evil turns to statues, and masses form a line But I know which way I'd run to if the choice was mine The past is our knowledge, the present our mistake And the future we always leave too late I wish we'd come to our senses and see there is no truth, oh In those who promote the confusion for this ever changing mood, yeah I❤️you mr Weller
Wow, thank you so much for the lyrics!! Paul weller, what can you say... People are talented, and he is one of them. I appreciate his sensibility and his soul! A cool soul brother, from a white family, smile. Keep rocking paul, and I will keep buying....
Thanks for posting the lyrics. Been listening to this song for 40 years, but every time I hear it I start grooving too hard to pay attention to the lyrics.
My Ever Changing Moods The Style Council Daylight turns to moonlight and I'm at my best Praising the way it all works, and gazing upon the rest, yeah The cool before the warm, the calm after the storm The cool before the warm, the calm after the storm I wish to stay forever, letting this be my food Oh, but I'm caught up in a whirlwind And my ever changing moods, yeah Bitter turns to sugar, some call a passive tune But the day things turn sweet for me won't be too soon, no The hush before the silence, the winds after the blast Oh the hush before the silence, the winds after the blast I wish we'd move together, this time the bosses sued Oh, but we're caught up in the wilderness And an ever changing mood, yeah Teardrops turn to children who've never had the time To commit the sins they pay for through another's evil mind The love after the hate, the love we leave too late The love after the hate, the love we leave too late I wish we'd wake up one day, an' everyone feel moved Oh, but we're caught up in the dailies And an ever changing mood, yeah The cool before the warm, the calm after the storm The hush before the silence, the winds after the blast The love after the hate, the love we leave too late The love after the hate, the love we leave too late The cool before the warm, the calm after the storm, I said The hush before the silence, the winds after the blast The love after the hate, the love we leave too late I said The love after the hate, the love we leave too late😮
When I was young in the eighties, I never understoud why The Jam ended and we get stuck with The Style Council. Now years later I do understand and listen more to this then ever.
Hello! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe
Lucky to grow up in the 80s. My ex-husband was a soundman for a local Boston band. lucky to be part of the Boston scene in the 80s absolutely amazing and just in the 80s in general.

Sou grato por Deus !!! Por ter nascido nos anos 60 e vivido os anos 70 & 80 Relembrando essa música maravilhosa e inesquecível que me deixou muitas saudades !!! Style Council Viva os anos 80 quem viveu essa época mágica sabe o que eu estou dizendo !01-08-2023
The best in the 80s, timeless: Paul Weller from The Jam to Style. Great music is still has effects on all who listen, hush to the sun and ever changing moods. Bring it on, Brian Wilson would be proud as am I. Class Act...
I've seen Paul Weller twice. he is so excellent. I especially love The Style Council. Grew up with The Jam, Style Council and own everything by those two bands and most of Paul Weller's music. I wish Paul and Mick were together again.
I saw the Jam live in 1978, Weller's like a good vintage wine, he matures with age! The symphonic version of this song that he's just brought out is.. brilliant!
Style Council is one of my favorite bands , I used to drive for UPS in CT there was a college new wave station WXCI and they played their music and I had a boom box on my truck and jammed all day..
seen them Liverpool royal court april 24th 1984..[I got the stub in front of me as I type[lets take you back..the casual [soul boy era [was typecast in Merseyside.. I swear there was 1500 scallies there all wedge haircuts..cycle tops.levi stay press.lacoste.kickers [red blue and mustard] Slazenger. c an a jackets.peter storm kagoules. … pastel polos.. ….beam me back please
Exactly what I was thinking! Pretty fitting video for a great song and fantastic artist! Exactly what I imagine now when I hear this song, which I've listened to whilst on many rides of my own over the years.
Watched The Jam numerous times love then straight into the Style Council. These songs are still relevant today and to me they reflect my late teens and early twenties and the angst of the times.
Love this song. Better than almost anything else from the eighties. It's a shame this song is not better known. Most of the time you hear all the same old overplayed junk from the 80s, but this song is truly incredible. Wish the eighties had more high quality songs like this one.
I have loved Paul weller since the jam. He is a slightly underrated genius. And let’s not forget mick. Some of my most inspirational songs. Mans a bloody star 😍
I loved the 80s. I was in my 20s and was into bunch of British bands but I missed these guys. I heard this song play at Amoeba music store 20 years ago and bought the CD
Won a sweat shirt and signed(!) Album from the evening hearld newspaper (irish ,dublin)..ah...'shirt'..fell apart in its first wash,gave signed l.p. to a charity,..never angry,just love their music....😊
In 1984, The Style Council stated "My Ever Changing Moods" would woo fans. In 2024, it still does. Everchanging is Everlasting!

That is brilliant. Couldn't afford a walkman myself so had to hum it as I pootled along
Beautiful memory, thank you for sharing.
Excellent. I usually only did 30 or 40 miles a day on my bike so well done !
Cool story man! ❤
Congrats
Who listening in 2024
It's me, all days.....❤

This music never gets old
Who up Hanking their Schrader?
Timeless. Love the Jam and Style Council.
I discovered this band during quarantine and I love them! A little late to the party but I'm having a good time. 😊
Never too late!
better late then never
I was dancing with my plastic guitar to this when i was 2 years old 😂
Me too!
There is only 1 wella
40 years later and my "mood has never changed" about this song: it´s a materpiece :))
Very underrated
Bought this record when I was 14 now I'm almost 50.Still a cracking tune.
I'm just about 60. This music will forever be great.
I’m just about 70 and subscribe 👍
I can not believe people born in 1970 are 50 today ! seriously shocking !!
agreed. almost 50 and still love it. bought it around the same time. just brilliant.
Me too, heard it when I was a teenager and still love it, probably until I die
Great song....wonderful!!!!
Beautiful music.. big team...
I am 64 years old ..i remenber this amazing group with passion...yeshhh!!!
Thank you my good Sir "The Style Council" for this 80's hit.
Looks like it was filmed on the avenue at Kentwell Hall, Long Melford, Suffolk. I have driven, ridden, and walked, along there many times in the last 40-odd years - and have even staggered along there in the opposite direction after closing time at The Hare, The Swan, and various other pubs.
😂😂❤❤
30 years later - never get sick of this song... LOVE IT

52 here and feel the same way......
@@JeffreyLosey68 I like all their songs. They were so underrated.

Ignorant of great music!!!!😊
Lousy taste in music?
You have to remember Style Council were born out of The Jam and along with his solo career, proves Paul Weller was and still is one of the most influential musicians of all time
And a plagiarist.... Changing Man ripped off from Electric Light Orchestra "10538 Overture" and "Start!" ripped off The Beatles - Taxman. They aren't even subtle acknowledgments to the originals, just outright rip-offs

Never noticed before, but this is actually a protest song against either government or war. Great song. I remember this from Southern California in the 80's.
You need the lyric sheets to understand what Weller sings a lot of the time. But when you find out, it's usually brilliant.
you are correct sir////........these other people are so shallow....on here you were the only one correct
The 80s not without this song!!
Paul was so beautiful back in the day.
Kool, British Mod Soul!
Graduated HS in 1980 then off to college I absolutely loved the music of the 80’s and still listen to all of it. The best decade
The song that turned me onto the Style Council ( One of the greatest names for a band ever ) when I was in 10th grade in the U.S. ( Chicago )....What an indispensable artist, and song writer Paul Weller has been for so many years now....He's the best....His music brings me so much joy, and solace....
I was just thinking about that the other day...the best name for the band ever, the other one is Digital underground.
I love this song so much! This started me on a long love affair with The Style Council. Still fresh as ever and better than anything out now.
Love this song. Anyone else get the sense that Carlos Santana listened to this before writing "The Game Of Love" sung by Michelle Branch?
I do. You have good ear to catch that. Yeah it has a similar vibe and feel as Game of Love.That summertime feel to it.
Yes, I always thought so too!
Agreed. Both great songs!!!
actually the guy who wrote the game of love is the lead guy from the new radicals that had a hit with you get what you give
yes, I couldn't put my finger on it until now, always troubled me.

Listening to this song today picking up my daughter from school...feels like paradise. Paul, thank you for your life’s work of making these songs. I hope you know how much what you do means to others and enriches their lives!
Amen@ Rebecca Doerr
Paradise! Yes!
gush much?

What can you say the man is a legend i had the pleasure of meeting him in 98 at a small gig he did
Daylight turns to moonlight, and I'm at my best
Praising the way it all works and gazing upon the rest
The cool before the warm, the calm after the storm
Oh the cool before the warm, the calm after the storm
I wish to stay forever, letting this be my food
Oh but I'm caught up in a whirlwind and my ever changing moods
Bitter turns to sugar, some call a passive tune
But the day things turn sweet, for me won't be too soon
The hush before the silence, the winds after the blast
Oh the hush before the silence, the winds after the blast
I wish we'd move together, this time the bosses sued
Oh but we're caught up in the wilderness and an ever changing mood
Teardrops turn to children, who've never had the time
To commit the sins they pay for through, another's evil mind
The love after the hate
The love we leave too late
The love after the hate, the love we leave too late
I wish we'd wake up one day, and everyone feel moved
Oh but we're caught up in the dailies and an ever changing mood
Evil turns to statues, and masses form a line
But I know which way I'd run to if the choice was mine
The past is our knowledge, the present our mistake
And the future we always leave too late
I wish we'd come to our senses and see there is no truth, oh
In those who promote the confusion for this ever changing mood, yeah
I❤️you mr Weller
poignant & timeless
Wow, thank you so much for the lyrics!! Paul weller, what can you say... People are talented, and he is one of them. I appreciate his sensibility and his soul! A cool soul brother, from a white family, smile. Keep rocking paul, and I will keep buying....
Thanks!
Thanks for posting the lyrics. Been listening to this song for 40 years, but every time I hear it I start grooving too hard to pay attention to the lyrics.
This should be played in a massive speaker to mr putin
Still sounding awesome 30 odd years later !
Actually 40 years later
Great song.
I just discovered Paul Weller TODAY. Holy shit, what a talent.
One of my all time favourites ever!!.. crosses every generation, age, gender, culture.. iconic xx
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
Timeless ! The most Underrated band of the 80's!
Who's listening to these songs in 2019 Awesome Singers and Songs 😀😎😄😘🤩
ME!!! (Hand's in the air!!) :)
I am...They are sooooo good
I could never stand the other guy, love weller tho and great songs
Beats having to listen to Robbie Williams Christmas puke. The 80's produced some of the best.
wtf do you care who’s listening? the dumbest click bait going at the moment.
This song is over 3 decades old...and more relevant now than ever. Brilliant lyrics.
My Ever Changing Moods
The Style Council
Daylight turns to moonlight and I'm at my best
Praising the way it all works, and gazing upon the rest, yeah
The cool before the warm, the calm after the storm
The cool before the warm, the calm after the storm
I wish to stay forever, letting this be my food
Oh, but I'm caught up in a whirlwind
And my ever changing moods, yeah
Bitter turns to sugar, some call a passive tune
But the day things turn sweet for me won't be too soon, no
The hush before the silence, the winds after the blast
Oh the hush before the silence, the winds after the blast
I wish we'd move together, this time the bosses sued
Oh, but we're caught up in the wilderness
And an ever changing mood, yeah
Teardrops turn to children who've never had the time
To commit the sins they pay for through another's evil mind
The love after the hate, the love we leave too late
The love after the hate, the love we leave too late
I wish we'd wake up one day, an' everyone feel moved
Oh, but we're caught up in the dailies
And an ever changing mood, yeah
The cool before the warm, the calm after the storm
The hush before the silence, the winds after the blast
The love after the hate, the love we leave too late
The love after the hate, the love we leave too late
The cool before the warm, the calm after the storm, I said
The hush before the silence, the winds after the blast
The love after the hate, the love we leave too late I said
The love after the hate, the love we leave too late😮
When I was young in the eighties, I never understoud why The Jam ended and we get stuck with The Style Council. Now years later I do understand and listen more to this then ever.
And after all these years, my moods still change much too often....
Bought this record when I was 14 now I'm almost 50.Still a cracking tune.
This song is probably the epitome of what i love about music.
Hello! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe
Lucky to grow up in the 80s. My ex-husband was a soundman for a local Boston band. lucky to be part of the Boston scene in the 80s absolutely amazing and just in the 80s in general.
Great track. Brings back memories of being a kid in the 80s
A Weller & Sade duet would've been good.
musical quality at its highest level
I love the chord changes and the voices- Beautiful music

Sou grato por Deus !!! Por ter nascido nos anos 60 e vivido os anos 70 & 80 Relembrando essa música maravilhosa e inesquecível que me deixou muitas saudades !!! Style Council Viva os anos 80 quem viveu essa época mágica sabe o que eu estou dizendo !01-08-2023
The best in the 80s, timeless: Paul Weller from The Jam to Style. Great music is still has effects on all who listen, hush to the sun and ever changing moods. Bring it on, Brian Wilson would be proud as am I. Class Act...
The red cycle looks like a Raleigh Europa, what a blast from the past.
I've seen Paul Weller twice. he is so excellent. I especially love The Style Council. Grew up with The Jam, Style Council and own everything by those two bands and most of Paul Weller's music. I wish Paul and Mick were together again.
One of my most favorites of the 80's. GREAT LYRICS.
I saw the Jam live in 1978, Weller's like a good vintage wine, he matures with age! The symphonic version of this song that he's just brought out is.. brilliant!
Style Council is one of my favorite bands , I used to drive for UPS in CT there was a college new wave station WXCI and they played their music and I had a boom box on my truck and jammed all day..
That Magniflex long sleeved top is seriously cool. The TI Raleigh is just an all time classic
Yeah and stone pulls hisvzip up doh
Got one from retro jerseys last week. 34 Euro, only took 7 days.
I am now the coolest dude in the bunch.
The best song ! Plus the classic cycling jerseys and steel bikes . Could it get better!
No!!!! Awesome jerseys!!!!!!!
Yes!!!! Weller needed to ditch the suicide levers!!!!!
seen them Liverpool royal court april 24th 1984..[I got the stub in front of me as I type[lets take you back..the casual [soul boy era [was typecast in Merseyside.. I swear there was 1500 scallies there all wedge haircuts..cycle tops.levi stay press.lacoste.kickers [red blue and mustard] Slazenger. c an a jackets.peter storm kagoules. … pastel polos.. ….beam me back please
Exactly what I was thinking! Pretty fitting video for a great song and fantastic artist! Exactly what I imagine now when I hear this song, which I've listened to whilst on many rides of my own over the years.
Yes
Watched The Jam numerous times love then straight into the Style Council. These songs are still relevant today and to me they reflect my late teens and early twenties and the angst of the times.
1984. An 18 yr old lad finding my way aided & abetted by fine bands like this
Don't forget Nick Kershaw!
Love this song. Better than almost anything else from the eighties. It's a shame this song is not better known. Most of the time you hear all the same old overplayed junk from the 80s, but this song is truly incredible. Wish the eighties had more high quality songs like this one.
This song makes my day, all the time......just love it❤️
Love these guys, amazing talent & voices. Makes you feel amazing inside. Brings me back in time
I have loved Paul weller since the jam. He is a slightly underrated genius. And let’s not forget mick. Some of my most inspirational songs. Mans a bloody star 😍
He so fuckin is.
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
I loved the 80s. I was in my 20s and was into bunch of British bands but I missed these guys. I heard this song play at Amoeba music store 20 years ago and bought the CD
Went to college in Boulder Colorado, loved that song, along with Joe Jackson look sharp
Love this song... brought back great memories!!
The Style Council was awesome for recording this song! And I still listen to it today!
one of my favorite tunes back in high school, and still makes me happy post hence :)
Won a sweat shirt and signed(!) Album from the evening hearld newspaper (irish ,dublin)..ah...'shirt'..fell apart in its first wash,gave signed l.p. to a charity,..never angry,just love their music....😊
