"I read the news today, oh boy"... Karl Wallinger left this world, way too soon! God rest his beautiful soul. He was so gifted, talented, unique, innovative, and original, yet totally inspired by The Beatles, without even coming close to ripping off The Beatles (like so many others have done). Absolute genius, to say the least. RIP, my friend.
Thank you for this. Both the comment and reply are so true. Aside from Karl (RIP my beautiful friend), the ones carrying the torch are Noel and Liam, Måneskin, and my son's band Home Is Where.
It was even WORSE here across the pond. This man should have been all over the airwaves. Granted there was an explosion of good music in the early to mid 90's, but we only got a few World Party songs and a few Oasis songs, which was indeed criminal!
No danger. Looking for an old song I loved & found out it was is it like today by world party & now I find they done this old song I too. Thanks internet
Everyone who worked with Karl said how much fun they had doing so. Take a look at what Peter Gabriel said on his website: "Working with Karl was the most fun I've ever had in the studio", and this is from someone who's worked with hundreds of musicians from all over the world.
I've tried mash-up tracks with other music on long-drives and they just don't work. I want Full Album plays for my WP tracks. Like Beatles, Joni, Moody's, Yes, Loggins & Messina, My peabrain only can he The Next Track as silence tries to settle in between tracks.
This beautiful man fought his way back from an aneurysm 23 years ago and spent 6 YEARS RE-learning all the instruments he played! I thought nothing could take him down. I cried for days.
I was cranking this in a grocery store parking lot last night and this guy motions toward me and I'm thinking it might be too loud. No, he asked me to turn it up and asked who it was. I fulfilled his request immediately.

I can't Believe it!! RIP great man!!What a great Songwriter and brilliant Musician. So talented and gifted!!!!
Self-taught as well. How many left-handed people play a right-handed guitar UPSIDE DOWN?
Karl was a one of a kind genius.🙏💯
RIP Gentle man.
All you need to do is look at his smile. It speaks more than any words could ever say.
Wallinger, probably one of the greatest composer of pop music.
I agree 💯%
RIP Karl. Remember the first time I heard this on Radio 1, excited for the new album which was criminally overlooked and underpromoted.

Another beautiful song that the Beatles would be proud to have written. Gone far too soon. RIP Karl.
To have this happen after surviving an aneurysm 23 years ago just destroys me.
p.s.- Love your profile image!
can't get enough of World Party. Love this song!
This takes me back to my childhood. Won this album at a basketball game when I was probably 12 or so.
You're a lucky man.
Not heard this in years- what a terrific song. Beautifully melodic, catchy and with a great vibe. Lovely.
LOVE THIS GUY 💕

Verrrrrrry Beatlesy!!! Luvvvvvit!!!
Shot on Super 8, on what looks to be the same set of stairs in "Hard Day's Night". How cool is that??
Love it ,great catching up with Karl at the Stables Milton Keynes a while ago :)

R.I.P. Karl. Sing with the Angels now 😢

Dizzy.
Love the fake New Jersey accent and location!
Dirty Jersey baby! Yeah!
I must confess I never made that connection. The location is pure North London 🙂
I dug the afro more, but long hair's ok i guess.
Because it really changes the quality of the music...🙄
Smells like Nirvana
