The Jam had covered Heatwave by Martha Reeves & The Vandellas on 1979's Setting Sons, and that influence was clear on possibly Weller’s most beloved song.

‘Wild Wood’

Since I’ve been sober, which is 11 years this year, I get more from music. Not just my music, but all music. It means more to me, and it’s more direct to my heart and my soul. And certainly playing it. Playing sober is so different, because you become more conscious, you’re more in the moment. And that changes everything. Free of the limited musical styles he felt imposed by the Jam, under the collective of the Style Council Weller was able to experiment with a wide range of music, from pop and jazz to Soul/ R&B, house and folk-styled ballads. The band was at the vanguard of a jazz/pop revival that would continue with the emergence of bands like Matt Bianco, Sade, and Everything but the Girl, whose members Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt contributed vocals and guitar to the 1984 Style Council song "Paris Match".

In which Weller revisits his home town of Woking in search of inspiration and becomes surprisingly emotional at the sight of the old place – “dear reminders of who I am, the very roots on which I stand”. A fascinating mediation on place and ageing and the ties that bind, plus its sax-driven groove absolutely bangs. 26. Paul Weller – From the Floorboards Up (2005) On 28 October 2022, Weller released a B-sides and rarities album Will Of The People. He collaborated on the songs with Richard Fearless, Young Fathers, Straightface and Stone Foundation. [30] Influences [ edit ] I'm generally not a big fan of remixes, so I'd prefer more of those be skipped in favor of original songs/covers. Just me, perhaps. The Weller song you’re most likely to hear after the word ‘ladies and gentlemen, the bride and groom’, he accompanied Adele on it during a 2008 BBC 6 Music session and did the same for Celeste in an Apple Music performance 11 years later.

There was that time after the Style Council when I stopped for a bit, but then my dad [who was also Weller’s manager at the time] said: “We’ve got to go on the road to earn some money. We’re skint.” That was very, very practical. I didn’t like it at the time, but it was good. We had to start again. We played some clubs with like, 40 people in the audience. I was like: “I’ve done all this work and I’ve got to start again?” What a great lesson to learn. Don’t get me wrong, I hated it at the time. But in hindsight, it’s the best thing that ever happened to me, really.
