My brother travelled the world and worked away a lot. He joked this song should play at his funeral. Because he would always come back to ‘his English rose’ Sadly, my brother was taken from us 5 years ago. We played it at the funeral. It was beautiful, it was heartbreaking. Thank you Paul for this wonderful song. Rest easy brother ❤
I'm Scottish and this is one of the most beautiful songs. Say what you like about the English but hands down they've had some of the best musicians and writers ever. Incredible for a small nation.

I dont mean to be offtopic but does someone know a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost the login password. I love any help you can give me.
55 next month. Live in Australia. Had the privilege to be born in England and this song was a big part of my youth and my Mod years. Going back this year.... to an England that has long since gone but.... I love thee
Sending love and appreciation Sir Paul from across the pond, while my Rose isn’t English, this is truly one of my favorite songs. May it live forever. Legendary song writing, cheers!
This man made the most exciting music I'd ever heard in my youth, and now he's making it slightly less uncool to be middle aged. Thanks Paul. You're definitely the Ace Face.
Yer da had good taste, bruv! Don't ever forget that! I lost me dad nearly 20 years ago n n my mum 40 odd years ago now! N I'll always remember the music they listend too! No matter how bad it was! Dad was into military music n cheezy C&W n mum luvved 50' n 60's rock especially chuck berry! N elvis which isn't too bad for a wummin born in the 20's

B edwards proud English is dwindling to a history over here in london. the world integrated but most of us English love our country and we cant change equality and slow down time (or reality if you like) so more foreign people come over we are already outnumbered 1 to 5 id say. its inevitable
I agree. And I'm Scottish. This is absolutely the best of England. Not in a stupid closed minded nationalistic sense, but in a pastoral, romantic beautiful sense.
No matter where I roam I will return to my English rose For no bonds can ever tempt me from she I've sailed the seven seas Flown the whole blue sky But I've returned with haste to where my Love does lie No matter where I go, I will come back to my English Rose For nothing can ever tempt me from she I've searched the secret mists I've climbed the highest peaks Caught the wild wind home To hear her soft voice speak No matter where I roam I will return to my English Rose For no bonds can ever keep me from she I've been to ancient worlds I've scoured the whole universe And caught the first train home To be at her side No matter where I roam I will return to my English Rose For no bonds can keep me from she
Another great English poet/song writer/ story telling musician. Were lucky to have him. God bless Paul Weller. ❤️ I saw The Jam in Liverpool in 1982 xxxxxxxxx
I am English , I'm a proud english man . But I live and work in Australia .. This song beats against my chest everytime I play it ... Everytime I come HOME I kiss the tarmac ...
I was watching an older movie on antenna TV. And one of the characters performed this song. My first time hearing it... The song is so dope I'm telling my peeps about it. Simply blew my mind💕
I went to see the Jam live on December 9th 1980 in Bristol. It was the day after John Lennon was killed and in the UK we only heard about it that morning. We went to the sound check during the day and Paul was really friendly and they signed the albums we took with us. At the concert in the evening, Paul recognized me in the bar area and came over to say hello and I asked him if he was going to dedicate a song to John Lennon. He said yes and this was the song he performed.
There's a live version of English Rose on the days of speed album , this song and the rest of the album got me through a bad marriage break up in 2001 I don't think I would be here today if it wasn't for that album , this song and the jam . Thank you Paul Weller.
I feel you on that one my friend, went through the same thing weller was my guiding light. Hope this finds you well, early morning rain an this song where my favourite songs.
I grew up when it was just another track on the best Jam album ever! All Mod Cons n it stood head n shoulders over even tube station, which is the best life in london in the 70's, still trying to figure out if "he" was a middle class coloured guy or a wimpy white middle class guy, seeing that it's a gang of white, beer smelling, wormwood scrubs types implies that the bloke getting the tube may be coloured! (I'm using coloured instead of black as we have more asian than black peeps, here in blighty
In the 10th grade having nearly no idea what I was writing... I wrote out the words to this song and slipped it into the locker of the girl I liked... I did not know what love really was yet but I was pretty sure this song had something in it that was close. And yeah, we dated for three years and I still think of her often.
I'm a Birmingham English Lady. Born to English parents. I'm proud to be from Birmingham. And I'm a proud English Lady. I've got permission for English Rose to be played at my funeral. God willing that wont be for a while xx
I will be walking my eldest daughter down the aisle on her wedding day very soon. Like her dad , she has impeccable taste in music. Cant think of a better song tl walk her down the aisle to.
Even the greats fucks up sometimes , a lesson to us all . I remember waking out ths doors at ths end of my dads funeral hearing this beautiful song echoing in back ground X
Mr Paul well er you are perfect in every way and this song English Rose holds a very special place in my heart. Forever thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have no idea what comfort this song brings too me.xxx😚
When Paul Weller gets it right, he really gets it right. His music has been part of the soundtrack of my life and he just gets better. Long live Paul Weller and thanks for the music. Anyone know what effect he is using on the guitar?
Bro I'm 50 loved my dotts Harrington football jam and guess what I'm half packi and still love my mates from being a kid and still drink with most and lost a few this is my favourite song of the jam Heidi is my english rose
Forever loyal to my country, and this song is written with pure Heart n' soul. Sometimes the simplest melodies ..and direct heart-felt words spark your patriotism. But Paul's sincerity in this performance ..overides everything. Just a lovely, beautiful song .. :)
“I’ve sailed the seven seas, I’ve flown the whole blue sky but I return with haste to where my love does lie” ❤ it’s funny how he didn’t think these lyrics were great, they are pure, beautiful poetry.

Many people think English Rose is a love song. But it isn't. It's a song about homesickness.
Well for me it was both ,moved to Canada 15 years ago and I missed the British isle still do
I'm Scottish and this is one of the most beautiful songs. Say what you like about the English but hands down they've had some of the best musicians and writers ever. Incredible for a small nation.

Reminds me of the two things I love the most in the world my wife and my country makes me cry a 50 year old ex skinhead.english till the day I die
Totally sums it all up for me,and this is from a 50 odd year old mod,and Glasgow based.

No matter where I roam
I will return to my English rose
For no bonds can ever tempt me from she
I've sailed the seven seas
Flown the whole blue sky
But I've returned with haste to where my
Love does lie
No matter where I go, I will come back to my English Rose
For nothing can ever tempt me from she
I've searched the secret mists
I've climbed the highest peaks
Caught the wild wind home
To hear her soft voice speak
No matter where I roam
I will return to my English Rose
For no bonds can ever keep me from she
I've been to ancient worlds
I've scoured the whole universe
And caught the first train home
To be at her side
No matter where I roam
I will return to my English Rose
For no bonds can keep me from she

Acoustic guitar thru a amp with reverb n chorus added for that pseudo 12 string twang!
Yer welcome!
Thanks but what about the haunting, delay type, effect?
@@skybry320 Could be a backing track, sounds a bit like a synth-pad type of sound, could be a wierdly cool delay pedal tho!

I love this. This will be played at my funeral to my Sue........xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Love this song 🤗🥰
Thanks Paul, what a legend and a song that goes to my heart
More scary when you realise how young he was when he wrote this.
Yes definitely,far ahead of his time !
The Last Guitar Hero is more a worry for me wondering where the years inbetween went
When the Jam split he was 24. They rereleased all the Jams singles simultaneously and 10 were in the UK top 40. Nothin' more need be said!
How young
