Kudos to Mr Weller for acknowledging that great song writing is not contained by genre.
Beautifully done
🤔He’s got 7 kids 🙃.. 🔥& skill 🐐🙏🏿
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.
From the 70s to now, Paul Weller has always been a great singer
For me.. This man can't do anything wrong.... Brilliant.
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.
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
That voice has lived a life.
I haven't seen him in years, he morphed into a splendid classical sculpture
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. ❤
Quite stunning and very moving. Can't imagine how my life would have unfolded without him and his music - thank you sir.
🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢
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.
❤🙏
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
Paul Weller’s voice is as good now if not better than ever. Brilliant and slightly unexpected cover.
So touching. It is possible to perform this song so differently but beautiful. Simply a different statement of art.
Wow, the legend just keeps on surprising with his raw talent
The bloke is timeless, great voice!
I’ve been listening to Paul Weller since 1977…what an incredible talent.
What a wonderful cover of this song! I'm such a huge billie eilish fan, This is incredible.
From the 70’s a fresh punky drink to a beautiful fine red wine 🍷 pour me another Mr Weller 🫶🏻
My hero ❤️ That voice is like pure velvet 😍
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.
It’s 🥲Paul Weller ❤perfect voice for this! Love him

Paul Weller covering Billie? That was not on my literally ANY YEAR bingo card. Love it
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 .

I did not have Paul Weller covering Billie Eilish on my bingo card
Wow, didn't see this coming, brilliant and moving!
He Still is a Very Gifted Artist 🦋💜

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!

Maravilhosa
Wow!
Love weller his voice never ages him and Billie need to duet this!!
Long Live the King.
Well done Paul that’s all I want need to say Well done growing old gracefully is an art form
Tolle Stimme wow ☺️
Paul Weller has only gotten better with age
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.
weller the god of my understanding pure genius
1:02 His voice is so velvety! It is indeed a beautiful rendition of the song.
