Paul Weller - Close To You

[@silviadinardo6385]

This song is beautiful and Paul Weller interpretation is very good.

[@nazarecristinanakanotavare2827]

Lindo ! Minha versão favorita ! Esta música eu entrei na igreja no dia do casamento de minha filha !

[@robbynealzucker3408]

Paul Weller makes this song so amazing ..he should be inducted in Cleveland ..the jam the style council so innovative and his solo albums especially his first are just fantastic

[@lucaricci6349]

Stupenda...mi fa tornare agli anni 80 .....

[@andybeattie761]

This guy is a great artist and a master of his craft

[@jocelyndiaz8233]

Long live Mr. Paul Weller!!!😍

[@TheLatchford]

The man just loves and appreciates a tune. Just like Me ,I hear ABBA I sing along cos I dig the tune. It's nothing abnormal to let go and enjoy a cool sound .

[@teodoraromano562]

He can sing just about anything and sound goooood.

[@franyfede4476]

One of the best versions....if not the best.

[@sweetgypsy100]

Effortless koolness...the man is smooth to the max....

[@94carlosmr]

I think paul weller is unvalued. He`s a great musician!!

[@Harbinger1]

Can't agree with you more. The first time I put this CD in my player I was totally blown away by his covers of everyone from The Carpenters to Sister Sledge to the late great Gil Scott Heron. This man knows his music history. He doesn't attempt to emulate The Carpenters in anyway, but simply goes around their version and makes it his own. Well done Mr. Weller!

[@ozmosyd]

Pure Class ... enough said.

[@federicomasset6064]

Great Artist!

[@Harbinger1]

To put this song in perspective; it is from an album released by Paul Weller where he paid tribute to some of the great songwriters of our time- from Burt Bacharach to Gil Scott Heron to Nils Rogers to Bob Dylan. It is a wonderful album when listened to as a whole. If I were one of these writers, I would be honored to be included on this great album. It is called Studio 150. Buy it!

[@musikpal]

Thanks 4 the info, making me want to get that album. :)

[@robbynealzucker3408]

It's a great album and he is so underated as an artist and song writer ...been making albums for over 40 yrs ...

[@nicpaps1311]

Soul is about singing from the heart that's Paul Weller will always be evergreen

[@tonybates7870]

Weller puts grit into any song he sings - and I adore Karen Carpenter's version too. He makes this lyric sound tough as hell and tender at the same time.

[@janevessey7233]

❤️❤️❤️ fabulous

[@ziggystardust009]

I think he gave the song a very interesting twist, it's not like the typical pop romantic balad, he turned it into a rock balad without exagerating or going out of the essence of the song, he did a great job.

[@jeanfrancis3526]

Love it ❤️

[@CHESHIRELASS67]

Brilliant cover

[@robbynealzucker3408]

Should be in the hall I have at least a dozen of his albums .so dam talented ....

[@kevingoins9858]

Sweet soulful turn on this classic!

[@stuartharrison165]

I knew this was gonna freak me out before I hit play, and it has. AceFace is the best thing I've subscribed to, thanks.

[@cappenjack]

Mr Weller.....you would have us believe that you are a crusty old curmudgeon.....but you have a soft spot for beauty in melody and timeless song-craft....this is a stand alone and brilliantly unique take on one of the great Bacharach and David masterpieces, that requires no comparison with the angelic chanteuse KC....thank you sir_

[@qannikabab33]

Amazing! 😍

[@GabriellaDuchessaScalza]

His voice is like a soul balm...

[@tanyawebber8867]

Love it..

[@TheMightyPaco]

So the genius has writer's block and what does he do..tour or endlessly mope around? Hell no! The Modfather does THIS ! One of the greatest reinterpretations of a standard ever, ever, EVER !!! Do you know how many singers have to put their stamp this song, and it either sounds like bad Karaoke or just plain bad? The man is an artist of the highest caliber! From "In The City" to THIS ! Put this bloke in the RnR Hall of Fame !!

[@nadiaerguidocano9773]

Una versión de lujo!

[@SuperZap12345]

The original by Burt Bacharach and performed by numerous artists never quite realized its potential. Richard Carpenter rearranged the song and it became a hit and is now the version of the song that everyone performs. Weller's version of this song is the best that I have found on youtube.

[@Toymiko]

Beautiful .................. Toymiko

[@razelma]

An amazing version

[@robertmantell1700]

I had no idea he could play keys. Sick!!!!

[@Lunatic4Bizcas]

¡ You better believe it !

[@matthewcleverly3826]

He can play a lot of instruments. You heard you do something to me? 😂😂

[@violetavikajeremic3932]

Why do birds suddenly appear Every time you walk near? Just like me, they long to be Close to you Why do stars fall down from the sky Every time you walk by? Just like me, they long to be Close to you From the day that you were born The angels got together And decided to create a dream come true So they sprinkled moon-dust In your hair of gold And starlight in your eyes of blue That is why all the guys in town Follow you all around Just like me, they long to be Close to you From the day that you were born The angels got together And decided to create a dream come true So they sprinkled moon-dust In your hair of gold And starlight in your eyes of blue That is why all the guys in town Follow you all around Just like me, they long to be Close to you Yeah, just like me, they long to be Close to you Oh darling Just like me, they long to be Close Just like me, they long to be Just like me, they long to be

[@nancyfalco4642]

Magnifica cover...pensare che è del 63...

[@studiobencivengamarcusbenc5272]

Strange cover - unorthodox but Paul has the taste to lift it

[@shanehenderson8756]

Only paul weller could get away with this one.

[@carlosesclusa9950]

Góstame moito escoitar e voltar a escoita-la. Moi bonita esta versión.

[@TheGalwayFarmer]

@MrJoejoejazz he had writer's block.........

[@johnkenny3569]

TheGalwayFarmer some of us do get depressed (writer's block)whatever! The man was having a hard time give him a break !for all it's worth good covers at least you never done anything stupid keep going where are we A kind revolution.

[@anslelost]

shows the man has a talent, he can take any song and make it his own sound, if it wasn't the carpenters original you would have liked it, sorry but your stuck in a groove

[@sweetgypsy100]

@MrJoejoejazz -- then why are u here? Please leave!

[@donnagibson]

This song makes me want to Make-Love...

[@carlosesclusa9950]

Me too.

[@MrJoejoejazz]

@sweetgypsy100 it doesnt matter where I am this is rubbish what kind of song is that for Weller to cover.

[@jonnobloggs1139]

@jojo jazz I love the way that Paul W chooses a classic Bacharach composition to cover brilliantly. I'm sure he has done it deliberately to noise up all the Jam Heads who would have been expecting a lazy cover of The Who or The Small Faces. That's Paul Weller for you.. always one step ahead of the sheep!!

[@TheTomnom]

I am a huge fan but come on Paul, this is pish

[@MrJoejoejazz]

absolute rubbish
