Early morning rain - Paul Weller

[@warrenbutterfield4208]

Today Gordon passed….I always look to Paul’s versions of Early Morning Rain…. He does it the justice it deserves…. Always heartfelt Majesty 🤎🗝️🙏🏼

[@dougieturnbull7207]

never enough credit to the man steve cradock who is a true legend and a amazing musician, whom Paul has had by his side for many a year.

Welling up listening to this Mr.Weller lol..remembering my Son .miss him so much ...killed 9 years ago ..moped accident. Thankyou Paul. Its a beautiful Song. Well done.👏👏 Thankyou ..from Bristol UK 🇬🇧 😉👍

[@BobbyGeneric145]

Tony, pray its gotten a bit easier for you 3 more years on. Music can heal the hurting heart. I lost my best friend 15 years ago and one certain song makes me miss him like it was yesterday but somehow makes it better at the same time

[@pamelaadams1130]

The greatest singers are the ones that are still here ❤

[@Holymakinaw]

One of the best Canadian songs ever written(by Gord Lightfoot). Weller does a beautiful cover of it. Love it.

[@seniornibbs1969]

i seen them.2003 colston hall great night

[@CamanoRick]

So well done. What a masterpiece performance of a great song.

[@tatata1543]

I honestly think this is , by far, the best rendering of a beautiful song.

[@geoffg9362]

This song always puts a lump in my throat - your rendition is very moving, purposeful and touches my soul. Thank you Paul.

[@Lichtenstein1961]

Weller acoustic stuff is brill.

[@murdothescottie]

This is a beautiful interpretation of this song. But then anything Paul touches turns to pure gold!

[@michelle-din]

I have heard this song by Canadian Gordon Lightfoot before but Paul Weller's rendition is especially sensitive and emotive - beautiful 😍

[@natalieholbrook4764]

Just love this, wellers voice is perfection for me ❤

[@flyerphil]

Amazing rendition of the classic Lightfoot song. Great vocal strength from Paul Weller, superb clarity. This sounds so good have played it at least 50 times Superb job, real professional, am sure GL would give the thumbs up

[@dougieturnbull7207]

This gentleman's music has been in my life since (in the city) and i will never stop listening nor loving

[@psibri1]

Indeed, since the Jam for me. My high school years were the 80's. I fell in love with The Style Council especially. The man is just as amazing live. I have been fortunate to see him 2x.

[@envyedern]

dougie turnbull same here, I remember the evening I got the album and sat listening with headphones on

[@Mod-rw9cw]

Nov 1978 Newcastle city hall was the first time I saw him live. I’d already seen the Angelic upstarts and the Clash, but The Jam and weller were miles ahead of them.

[@simonwilson5898]

Well said that man..

[@andrewmckeever552]

I was 15 when I bought In The City. My parents both heavily into music they took me to a record show nearby, 1989, i was already into that sort of scene but didnt know much about the Jam. It blew me away. I lived in a small town, the lone Mod. Paul Wellers music was a great thing to grow up with. And continue with throughout Style Council and Solo. Along with my parents' music collection, which included among a bunch of other stuff - gordon lightfoot, well rounded i think. For perspective, my mum ised ti see Lightfoot perform in The Village in Toronto, when he was starting out. Hippies didnt exist yet it was a folk and blues and bohemian scene. I mention this because she saw lightfopt live several times. When she heard Paul Wellers version, she said "that is well done". And thats as capital a compliment you can give really. And tha knk you for your comment. Sprry for the lengthy reply. I talk a lot. Take care.

[@ericramos8126]

Weller should be considered in the same class as the all time greats! Song writer and a bad ass guitar player!

[@darry2675]

I met weller ,I followed him from Leeds Town n Country club 1993,it jus happened my car was outside near the tour bus.we followed the bus not knowing were it was going,laughing weeks jus about to turn round wen it turned into a hotel jus round the corner..we jumped out to meet Paul,wow what a Geezer just me n my mate Dave...he asked what we think of the new music,n if we like having a second guitarist etc..n have we heard of him.No we said,hes from OCS..we didn't know of them back then...what a Gig of the life craddock has ,lucky bastard...

Wonderful song, my Dad used to sing this to us and he was very pleased to head this version.

[@yo-yotension4613]

There are many versions, all unique. The song is fantastic by great Canadian.

[@kevingill648]

Love this song by Paul Weller!

[@frankmunich1881]

this is a perfect song sorry got all albums from him thx paul

[@michaelcross2540]

PW does Gordon Lightfoot? Man... What a great version of this classic song!! Forever Weller.

[@barryh.4220]

i could take or leave Jam in their day , although there was no doubting their popularity ... and i came on here in a slightly sceptical frame of mind to listen to his version of this great song .... well i have to admit that this is not a bad version at all , he's done it justice, and i love the music arrangements too ... hats off to you Paul Weller!

[@Skierguyca]

Great Gordon Lightfoot song, sung by another great songsmith.

[@Mr00dear]

Originally by Peter paul& Mary Weller is for me the beast version 😊👍🌻🌻

[@philipkremer1394]

@@Mr00dear Gordon Lightfoot wrote the song in 1964. Ian and Sylvia were the first to release it, in 1965. Peter, Paul, and Mary also released a version in 1965. Lightfoot himself released it in 1966 in his debut album, Lightfoot!

[@turdoirishman]

@@Mr00dear Sorry, not originally by P,P&M. Written by the great Gordon Lightfoot

[@violetavikajeremic3932]

Beautiful song, thank u Weller , ILY !!

[@sianwarwick633]

Thanks Paul Weller ❤ from Canada

[@andrewgoldbergs4474]

Superb reading of a Lighttfoot epic..just another brilliant cover this man has chosen to create over a 40 plus year career.The Modfather..The Governor.

[@frankhargreaves8370]

when I 'served my time'..starting from school in 1980 ? ...my gaffer (John Geraghty of Five Star Dry Cleaners on County Road, Liverpool).. ...lent me two Lightfoot LP's. I still have them. He still asks me for them back whenever I see him. :-) ..to be clear. We were engravers then. I don't do dry cleaning :-) I saw Cradock and Weller do this in New York. Just like this. In Virgin on Times Square. ...yes. Amazing x 3 of the best gigs, in a week, anybody ever did...and I ever did see x xx one love xx

[@kevinbird9194]

Weller with Pete Townshend live at the Albert Hall singing a very early Townshend composition "So Sad about You" What a great duet

[@philledwards5191]

Love Steve's solo stuff to

[@dianescotter8089]

❤️always xx

[@Lazkir]

I've listened to many versions of this song, I'm a big fan of Gordon Lightfoot, but I genuinley think Wellers version adds pathos and a little bit of je ne sais quoi to this that makes it special. Fantastic song, regardless of the version!

[@Mod-rw9cw]

Watch him singing instant karma . It will blow you away.

[@BPVUploads]

Agree that PPM did a good version of this, but my all-time favorite is Ian and Sylvias off "Early Morning Rain" - the harmony is top-notch. That said, this is also very good. I will also admit that there may be a bit of "Grew up with that one" at play (vis Ian and Sylvia) . Eva Cassidy also did an awesome rendition of this one...

[@dermot51]

"English Rose" is my favourite tune by Weller but this is an amazing cover

[@jeffwilliams2255]

RIP... Gordon Lightfoot

[@dianescotter8089]

Gotta love a bit if accustic 👍❤️ x

[@siobhanquinn2648]

[@kieranbrennanmusic9261]

I sing this one. Like Gordon's original but like this more. I stick in a bit of harmonica.
