Paul Weller playing English Rose on Later

[@tompegram2545]

My brother travelled the world and worked away a lot. He joked this song should play at his funeral. Because he would always come back to ‘his English rose’ Sadly, my brother was taken from us 5 years ago. We played it at the funeral. It was beautiful, it was heartbreaking. Thank you Paul for this wonderful song. Rest easy brother ❤

Well said. Noel Gallagher likes to call himself a genius and the saviour of British Rock music - unfortunately he was 10 years too late and PW continues to out do him to this day. British icon up there with Paul, John and George as a writer / performer / influence

I went to see the Jam live on December 9th 1980 in Bristol. It was the day after John Lennon was killed and in the UK we only heard about it that morning. We went to the sound check during the day and Paul was really friendly and they signed the albums we took with us. At the concert in the evening, Paul recognized me in the bar area and came over to say hello and I asked him if he was going to dedicate a song to John Lennon. He said yes and this was the song he performed.
