One of the most under-rated tracks of Paul Weller's in my opinion. Sublime and atmospheric.

A truly wondrous song. Paul Weller really is a genius, so much quality with so much diversity in such a vast catalogue of brilliance.
@danielmarshall3564 жыл бұрын
Batt Mann 100% to have been in the jam would be enough for most people... but to change direction completely straight away and knock out at least 5 of the very best singles ever made (child, summer, best thing, moods and shout to etc ) is just unbelievable

daniel MARSHALL Quite right, He didn’t rest in his laurels, he kept evolving, kept writing classics. The mark of true genius.

I was so upset when the Jam broke up, but then the Style Council songs started coming and I loved them even more. Great that Paul decided at a very young age that he wanted to grow up.

Can't agree, unfortunately. When artists change / go through development, it might not be anything to do with growing up. Maybe they get less angry. Maybe more. Hopefully their talent evolves.

I have to say I disagree with the sentiment here and prefer the Tracy Thorn version. She emotes a melancholy timbre that just seems to fit the mood of the song. Listening to it transports me to a smoky room in a downstairs cabaret in Paris with Tracey playing the role of Chanteuse.
