No probs! I would recommend his solo albums "Wild Wood", "Stanley Road" and "Heliocentric" first of all oh and " Modern Classics"
He is a great songwriter and his lyrics do mean a lot to so many people.
I will leave you with a couple more, have a good weekend!
Fly, on wings of speed, That will bring you home to me, I'll never be free, And darkness I see, As I wait for your smile.
Though my hands are tied, My feet are bound by fate, With clay at the base As I sit and wait, What visions I see.
In dreams, she floats on a stream, With Jesus as her plan, And water in her hand, I bought along the way, She comes to me.
Now as night is falling, A candle left to light the way, Sailing hope to morning, She comes to me calling, To brighten up my darkest day, And the world fades away, With her smile.
(Oh yeah) (I wait for your smile yeah) (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Fly, on wings of speed, That will bring you home to me, I'll never be free, And darkness I see, As I wait for your smile.
(Oh yeah,yeah) (I wait for your smile yeah) (Yeah yeah yeah)
and he wrote this for his daughter
Sweet pea, my sweet pea You're the one to get my heart a-jumpin' Light of love all around your Being to see
The future - it's looking at you It only exists because you're alive So close you eyes and smile Your smiles of sweet dreams
And fill them with love again I'll them with joy again
Each pace i take and you know why I write for you and i to try To take the things that lie around And them into dreams so swift-so proud And nothing's in our way Let's make it ours today!
Sweet thing, loving you is easy Goodbye sadness when i'm around you Giving me something i can feel Down to my bones
Sometimes - maybe just sometimes Look back on these times and smile And have the grace to know What you have seen
And fill you with love again (you) fill me with hope again! My sweet pea
Recollected thoughts and songs Emblems of forgotten words Remnants of a time so clear That still rings fresh and true When the wind is here It's on a time again And it's mine again!
Sweet pea, my sweet pea Heaven knows i got a thing about you You're the girl to get my heart Start pumpin' again
Ah, sometimes - baby just sometimes Look back on these times and smile And have the grace to know That you have seen
How it should be - my sweet pea Only god knows what i feel about you You're the girl to get my heart Start jumpin' around
Oh! I meant to ask....is there a particular Weller CD you would/could recommend to me?

Ahhhhhh.......the Weller guy! LOL! Honestly, his lyrics see to touch me personally. I think I'm gonna have to go shopping to try to find his CDs and see if the music strikes a chord with me as well! Thanks so much, Johnny!!!

It is our fantastic "poet" Mr Paul Weller, he was 18 when he wrote it!!! A great singer songwriter. Alongside Mr Cage, Paul Weller is one of my heroes.
He also wrote these tunes- this first one being one of my all time fave songs:
Why are you frightened - can't you see that it's you That ain't no ghost - it's a reflection of you Why do you turn away - an' keep it out of sight Oh - don't live up to your given roles There's more inside you that you won't show
But you keep it hidden just like everyone You're scared to show you care - it'll make you vulnerable So you wear that ghost around you for disguise
But there's no need just 'cos it's all we've known There's more inside you that you haven't shown
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat Just keep on walking down never ending streets
One day you'll walk right out of this life And then you'll wonder why you didn't try
To spread some loving all around Old fashioned causes like that still stand Gotta rid this prejudice that ties you down
How do you feel at the end of the day Just like you've walked over your own grave
So why are you frightened - can't you see that it's you At the moment there's nothing - so there's nothing to lose Lift up your lonely heart and walk right on through
and....
Artist: Paul Weller Lyrics Song: You Do Something to Me Lyrics
You do something to me, something deep inside I'm hanging on the wire for a love I'll never find You do something wonderful then chase it all away Mixing my emotions that throws me back again Hanging on the wire, I'm waiting for the change I'm dancing through the fire, just to catch a flame an' feel real again
You do something to me somewhere deep inside I'm hoping to get close to a peace I cannot find
Dancing through the fire just to catch a flame Just to get close to, just close enough To tell you that.....
Wow Johnny! I can't begin to tell you how I relate to the words in this song! So many elements of it 'speak' to me, as it were. But! I can't place the actual song......who sings it and who wrote it.....do you know??? Thanks!

The way that sunlight flits across your skirt, makes me feel I'm from another world, To touch your face in the morning light. I hope you're always gonna be around. The times I struggle to understand why, The ancient proverbs like Who am I? Why am I here and What have I done? I see the answer's place my trust in you
Trust in you love, be with me then, That's when I want you, that's when I need you the most.
I want us to be like Peter Pan But dreams it seems are weightless as sand, And man's supposedly is made of sand It seems that man cannot survive at all
Let's disappear love, let's fly away Into the demi-monde, into the twilight zone The times inside I spent screaming at you Release me please from this mortal jail One shrug or smile can determine my fate, I'm lost for days and have myself to blame
Something I'm giving, is yours for the taking, Something like sunlight, Love is a spotlight Love is all sorrow, still I'll meet you tomorrow And look forward to see you, now I can't live without you
A guy once sang that song to me (The La La La Means I Love You song). Hopefully, he meant it at the time cuz I fell for it (and him) hook, line and sinker......
:)
