I listened to this the day I walked out of prison, 4th Nov 2004, after years of drugs and over 60 convictions, 8 years in jail. Today I've been drug free for 23 years and jail free for 20 years this year , now working with guys in jail through the church and Alpha course to save those that like me were helpless..
12 Years sober today, this song means a lot to me and the many many peops out there that are trying, a day at a time. It is never too late, to make a brand new start. x
nearly a year since i lost my dad to cancer, the biggest jam/style council & weller fan you could wish to meet. we had town called malice play at the start of his service, this song however has always stuck with me since me and dad were very close listening to his back catalogue since i was old enough - especially the live version. i hope im doing you proud dad. i miss you every single day, i love you.
real music, real singing and playing, no ass-shaking, voice modulation bullshit! this kind of music will always prevail over the drivel of today's standards!
Played at my mother's funeral nearly 10 years ago now....she loved this song and aways taught me to love the simple things in life, find your own path and don't worry about what others think ❤
This is the song that got me through both my mental health and addiction issues all those years ago. Makes me cry every time,. Not only because of how far I've come, but because how hard it is. Stay strong its never to late.. 👍
My dad has always said to me about how great Paul Weller is and I never took any notice. He was right and now I'm going to learn this and play it for him and see his reaction
Exactly. How could anyone put a thumbs down on this performance. It's Paul Freakin' Weller! But even besides that, it's a great song, and a great performance. Who can't feel the meaning in the song, I know he does. For whatever reason you are looking for a brand new start: from drugs, drinking, divorce, loss, environmental issues....it resonates. I tear up everytime I hear this performance. It re-energizes me, and reminds me to try to be the best I can be. Maybe that sounds corny, but I would think everyone should be able to get something out of the song and this performance in particular. I can loop it and play it over and over again.
Depression has been a consent in my life. When I feel low and looking to come out of the darkness - mental, weight issues, interpersonal relationship issues - I listen to this song and envision a new start in my life. Helps me to map out a better path to be on. Such a beautiful song. Thank you Modfather
8 year relationship,engagement,family home, pet dog. Came home to a locked door an clothes outside, no explanation no sorry, to never see my fiance for over 2 years. Found out later the dog which was a bday present given away. This song was the light in the darkest time, made me a better person and the man I am today.

@@thesocialmediascientistmbe went travelling new Zealand met someone new moved to a different city now I'm expecting my first child in May with my girlfriend.
Same kids thing. 10 years together. A kid 2 dogs.. OK we had ups n downs. She went out one night and met some one... A week later I was living back at my dad's... 3 years later and a lot of silly mistakes I'm in a lot better place.
My dad is a heroin addict clean for 22 years and relapsed aged 52 this song makes me think of him in his best days addiction is form of evil we can’t control no matter how much love you give
I sang this to a group of people who were going through difficult times to inspire them.. Today im singing it to myself ..to inspire me ... Life is full of highs and lows .. .. Smile and ride each one .. its a one way ride people .
This song has helped me through some dark and difficult times in my life and if nothing, it gave me resolute hope! You can pick yourself up and you can start afresh, never give up! :) Paul Weller is a fucking legend and the stripped down performance of this song reiterates that! He is after all, the Changing man! Long may he continue! :)
This version of this song is possibly my favourite thing that's ever been recorded. It helped me through the darkest time in my life and u will never tire of listening to it. The lyrics are genius and the performance is so genuine. Thank you Mr Weller.
It's not Corny & TRUST ME... you're not alone in that feeling. Words fail when I try to describe the impact, the raw fuel this song has been in my life in these past years. I'm in the threshold of something amazing, after nearly hitting rock bottom a couple of years ago. I'm clean, happy, detached of material goods, 8 years later but i finished college, have great relationships with family and friends and I'm about to get (Hopefully I make the cut) a really good job. I know it's never too late
@@michaelreddington1234 Such a blast from the past. My brother, words fail me to describe how fortunate I've been. Got two boys, a third child on the way. Years in a job that, while my mentors are a decade younger than me, pays well, is in high demand & I don't hate. Married to a good woman; she's difficult at times, but she does love me. It astounds me to see how I felt I "knew how the world works" 10 years ago, how I was so close to "slipping away" some 16-17 years ago. Thanks for the kind words. I really, wholeheartedly hope you're also leading a great life.
What a moving track, proper talented man, he really is the Master, seen him in Plymouth Pavilion and thought he was going to be sat on a stool giving it acoustics, but he came out on stage giving it his Jam foot kicks, what a great night I had, he really is the man. Flying the Flag for Wallasey, I salute you Mr Weller
age 19. a girl and I had a daughter. age 22 she had cheated on me... and left me with the child and completely cutted of all strings. This song motivated me to do so much and get back on track with life. Today at age 30 I am a multi-million dollar business owner that makes his own schedule on when to go into the office. According to facebook the biological mother of the child works at a gas station.
absolutely love this song, pure inspiration to anyone who's been down on their luck or had heartbreak in their lives...awesome and self inspiring, get in weller.....
Weller was born in my hometown and I went to the same school as he did. I'm 24 and only started to listen to his music, and he's the town hero of music. Love for his music brought me here, and he does a great job of it too!
I remember when this album came out" Days of Speed" I then went to see Paul Weller at Croydon. The security told me to sit down and many others. This man played his heart out and we sang and shouted our hearts out too. The security didn't know what to make of us all. As after all it was an acoustics gig he gripped the audience like he only knows how to. The man is a must see. This song is one of my favourites and got me away from a few ugly demons.
He makes music for people who appreciate good lyrics and great melodies and the global superstar thing is not really what he is about. having seen documentaries where he comments on his music, he says that he makes the songs primarily for himself and if other people like them, that is a bonus! Yes, he is a God in the UK !
the mod father simple as.legend in his own time.wonderfull pleasure to listen to his tunes his works and his art forms and creativity and performances.this is my idol still.
Thanks for standing up 4 me but were all forgetting why were here and that is to listen to Paul Weller sing this song and thats that if u wanna praise arthur lee go to his song and rite there im sure all Paul Weller fans and mods would agree.
Ich starte auch neu. Bin bereit mit dem Richtigen weisse oder schwarze oder auch andere Pferde zu stehlen.Danke Paul Weller,Du warst mir mit Deiner Musik seit sehr vielen Jahren in vielen Lebenslagen eine grosse Stütze.
What a powerful song will stay with forever it. S down to us when your struggling you know some how you have got to dig yourself out off this dark place
seen weller few times amazing not many singers can pick up a guitar and do a set like him, an anyone that thumbs down clueless have no soul this guy is a legend and always will be
not to sound to corny, but this song had really encouraged me too "make a brand new start" at a time in my life when i really needed to. love this song ☮
Great song ( like so many that he performed - and will surely still be performing ...) I have identified with so many of his songs, but this particular one must be one that everyone can feel 'in tune with' ....
This is the theme tune 2 my life of a Brand new start, all the dead wood must go, some1 recently said u never know whats round the corner, i liked this, then i realised its not all gud whats round the corner, now u must go 2 & i really liked u once, shame but hey shit happens.. Brand New Start.....I think im worth it ?...
ive seen him the 14th of may in Amsterdam, also an accoustic version of this song.. fokkin brilliant!!!!!! he's the best!!! i always get shivers when i hear this song..

Godbless you❤❤❤
Good on you. Hope you give us that's been there and going thru that the guidance they need and some comfort. Bit of reassurance too
That is great. Thank Jesus for that change and the rich blessing he gave you.
[Paul deserves a mention too..]
Its always the simple songs you go back to when you need them.

Paul Weller- a great songwriter with a great voice. Sorry for your loss.
Been listening to Weller for 41 years now. Unbelievable talent one of Britain's best ever
No smoke bombs. No flashing lights. No explosions- Just raw talent 👍
real music, real singing and playing, no ass-shaking, voice modulation bullshit! this kind of music will always prevail over the drivel of today's standards!

Keep it up fella. Peace n love to ya.

He is a lyrical poet of his generation, a truly awesome artist who doesn't get half the recognition he deserves, simply awesome
Such a simple song, easy to sing, easy to play, yet it somehow contains greatness.

Hope so .
Amazing song. I'm on my sobriety journey and this song is played every morning. Such a positive way to start my day. Thank you Paul Weller ❤
