Bravo. Never thought I'd see an American teaching the technical aspects of my favourite song. You remind me that the connection we have within this world is quite beautiful. Thank you.

Your lovely comment brought a big smile to my face, for various reasons. I'm glad you said something, and found my obscure video. I love your country (I assume you're from the UK?), and its music of the late 70's/80's shaped who I am today.

I love that song. Shows Weller as the great songwriter he is. So adaptable and capable of different styles. A truly gifted man. Love the way you played that too and the stuff you post. Thank you.

@modfather1965 2 жыл бұрын

It's perhaps my fav TSC song... Thanks for your encouragement and support. ;-)

@modfather1965 11 жыл бұрын

I agree with you--Weller was at his peak, it seems, between 80-85 (I gotta include Sound Affects in there); maybe then again during "Wildwood." He still manages to have some wonderful hits among the misses... Friggin' incredible musician, he is.

It's 1 of the 5 that I love the best on Cafe Bleu. The Whole Point Of No Return, My Ever Changing Moods (piano and vocal version), You're The Best Thing, Here's One That Got Away, Headstart For Happiness are the 5 I love most.

I'm glad it was helpful. I think if I had to select one Style Council song to listen to over and over for the rest of my life, it would be this one. Perfect that it's just Weller and his guitar...

Weller is a great musician as well as a songwriter

@modfather1965 2 жыл бұрын

Indeed, he is. While I was mowing my lawn this lovely spring weekend, I had a random thought about Weller's songwriting enter my head: I thought that he wrote some marvelous "little" songs--brief, "simple", but poignant. This one, along with "No One in the World" came to mind. Absolute gems...

@modfather1965 7 жыл бұрын

I agree... I recall first listening to the album in '83 and my 50's-era parents hearing the title track; they looked at their previously Jam-listening son in bewilderment, as it sounded like something they'd have liked.

Good instructions, but having seen this live about a million years ago, Weller plays the C and D as barred E chords at the 9th and 10th fret and the E9 goes to Em7 by dropping the third on the D string a fret and moving the 'pinky' to the eight fret you have an octave of the minor third

Don't forget folks with the Royal Wedding. And we have food banks, austerity as you do in the States :( Paul was supporting the miners who were attacked by Margaret Thatcher. Maybe the last stand of the working classes.
