    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.

  • @thenewholistic
    @thenewholistic 6 месяцев назад +58

    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 🙏

    • @rsjogren
      @rsjogren 6 месяцев назад +6

      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.

    • @TheKennyboy92

    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.

    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

  • @hellsbellsmichelle
    @hellsbellsmichelle 6 месяцев назад +37

    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.
