Rating: I am 17 years old, I come from Dream Theater, Jethro Tull, and Pink Floyd, passionate about the Gallaghers, here I am reviewing Paul Weller (strange rock n'è it?!?).
I am listening to "Uncle Paul's" album for the first time while writing on my Mac. My review won't be technical, but emotional! An album that drags you in, pulls you, makes you sing and tap your fingers to the beat... I deal with emotions! From the Rolling Stones to Oasis, passing by Elvis and Traffic! (Noel Gallagher and Steve Windwood have also collaborated with Paul)... this is "Stanley Road". It's 1995 and Weller, having long abandoned his experience as a butterfly collector in The Jam, writes these twelve Rock Pop (generic style) songs that are fun, emotional, English. I don't find a standout track in the album, an album that slides by, light, just as a good album should be...
I bought the CD intrigued by the photos of Paul with Oasis, and I wonder why he is not known in Italy... I was shocked by "Stanley Road" and ashamed for not having discovered it earlier, from now on it will be an interesting journey into exploring this artist!
"The Changingman" "Porcelain Gods" – 4:51 "I Walk on Gilded Splinters" "You Do Something to Me" "Woodcutter's Son" "Time Passes..." "Stanley Road" "Broken Stones" "Out of the Sinking" "Pink on White Walls" "Whirlpool's End" "Wings of Speed"
An album I recommend... TO ALL LOVERS OF ROCK in all its forms...
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
01 Kosmos (07:20)
Life's complexities trouble your rise
As you attempt to ascend into the high
Is there nowhere else left to run
But to the Kosmos - men gaze - to look for heaven
Flying high - never come down
Flying high - don't know how to come down
Take a ride into the soon
Be the first one on the moon
Take a slide, come back to earth
It's to the Kosmos - men dare - to look for something
Flying high - never come down
Flying high - don't know how to come down
No time to spare - Destiny is here
No time to lose - better if we choose
Less time to share - people stop and stare
To look for hope above the clouds - to look for heaven
A world away, a million light years
That's how far destruction seems
Now our dreams are sad, slow creatures
Dying to know - who am I? What am I? Where am I to go?
02 Sunflower (06:40)
I don't care how long this lasts
We have no future, we have no past
I write this now while I'm in control
I'll choose the words and how the melody goes,
Along winding streets we walked hand in hand
And how I long for that sharp wind
To take my breath away again
I'd run my fingers through your hair
Hair like a wheatfield I'd run through
That I'd run through -
And I miss you so - I miss you so
No you're gone I feel so alone
I miss you so
I'd send you a flower - a sunflower bright
`Cause you cloud my days messing up my nights
And all the way up to the top of your head
Sunshower kisses I felt we had
And I miss you so - Oh baby I miss you so
Now your gone, I feel so low - oh I miss you so, I do
But I miss you so - Oh darling I miss you so
Now your gone, I feel so low - oh I said I miss you so, I do
All I gotta do is think of you - and I miss you so
Baby I'm... I`m afraid to say why - I miss you so
Baby I'm... I`m afraid to say why - Oh I miss you so
