Many years ago, I was in Sainsbury's, Lewisham hearing the Rose Royce version on their tannoy and thinking what a great song it is. A month later, 'Studio 150' was released and, amazingly, Paul had covered it. And it's one of his best covers ever in my opinion. His voice is stunning on this song.
He is my all time favorite...started with the Jam in HS, but really hooked me with the Style Council. I have had the pleasure of seeing him 2x in small venues. Bucket List to meet this man, he has made such an impact on my life.
I remember when this came out! Live. Brilliant! Absolutely Great cover. Guitar solo just gives that little 'Something too! Paul Weller, I lost the chance to see see you Live one" Where are you. It's about time ★!
I'm wishing on a star To follow where you are I'm wishing on a dream To follow where you'll be And I'm wishing on all the rainbows that I see Wishing on all the people who've, ever been And I'm wishing on tomorrow, when will it come And I'm wishing on all the lovin' we've ever done I'm wishing on a star To follow where you are I never thought I'd see A time when you would be So far away from home So far away from me Just think of all the moments, that we'd spent I just can't let you go from me, you were meant And I didn't mean to hurt you, but I know That in the game of lovin' you, I was slow, I feel it's time for us to make up, baby I feel it's time for us to get back together And make the best of things, oh, baby When we're together, whether or never I feel it's time for us to make up, baby I feel it's time for us to get back together And make the best of things, oh baby When we're together, yeah whether or never, And I'm wishing on a star And I'm wishing on all the rainbows that I see Wishing on all the people who've ever been Wishing on tomorrow, when will it come I'm wishing on all the lovin' we've ever done But I'm wishing on a star To follow where you are I'm wishing on a dream To follow where you been Said I'm wishing on a star
My best mate died 25th march 2020 and loved Weller. There is a bright star shining outside of my house that I never noticed before. I'm sure it's him watching down
Hello Chris, sorry to hear about your friend. May that star shine bright forever, listening to Weller. As a young mod (now with grey hair), who still loves this stuff along with family and all of his current stuff too, best wishes from us. Paul doesn't write many love songs, but English Rose and Invisible are a bit special. A girl I love bought us tickets to see him at the O2 in 2009 and we danced all night. Be safe everyone.
Not so far away from home, and not so far away from you. Treasure his memory and let his undying voice warm you at your most lonesome. All the best, my friend xx
Paul. In your whole career you have'nt put a foot wrong. From The Jam to the Style Council.....you kept true and pure. This cover of a beautifully great song by Rose Royce has been captured by an equally beautiful soul. Thank you. And thank you dragon2861 for downloading. This is my song of the decade.
ANNETTE PALMER I can't leave it alone. I keep coming back and listening.. he reminds me of my husband. Both good looking sexy men. Watching him walking ... His walk is just like my husband's.. memories. Sweet memories..
Those keyboards are zGreg Allman. The emotion the communicion of thevhlkey boards are kindred to Greg Allman. Well donevyet again Mod Father. Indespensible artist.b
I always thought he was funky as hell I became familiar with him because of the style council in the 80s I was like 14 or 15 dude was killing it then and now
Wow thanks Paul... an amazing piece... once again dragged through the years.. remastered"soul" love it Man... thanks so much for all you do for us.. Love ya mate
This man has made such an impact on my life. Everything he has done, from the Jam to current has reeled me in. Seeing him live, especially in a small venue is amazing. On my Bucket List; sit with the Modfather and have a conversation. Thanks for the share 권순용
Not officially sat with him as such,but he did sign my broken down scooter outside the Glasgow Apollo back in 1980.He IMO is and always has been in a class of his own.I even took a picture of the Apollo Trophy included in The Jam tribute session down in London's Somerset House a couple of years ago,just before The Who and Mr Weller gig in Hyde Park,as that was the very night he signed my ramshackle broken scooter.
I come n every once n a while to get my weller fix. Damn sexiest dude ever, plus his voice draws you in and shakes your soul. Damn what can I say? Just feel it ...l.
I can’t believe I’m still alive , still digging on this beautiful song. He reminds me of my gorgeous hubby whom I miss dearly. 77 and can feel his emotions...

What a great artist. Absolutely brilliant. Always loved Paul Weller👍
PAUL WELLER definitely knew how to deliver when he sang this song.
His voice is awesome.
So cool!!!!❤
Paul Weller's voice! So special and outstanding in a perfect performance!
The absolute best version of ‘Wishing on a Star.’
No, the original is best. But this is good.
The original is a thousand times better but this is nice
Nope rose royce more soul 👌
@@ricwell209100%
@@Tj-ho2fsagree. Solid effort, but Rose Royce owns this.
The man can do no wrong, puts his own unique spin on a Rose Royce classic and pulls it off in his inimitable effortlessly cool style.
I Wish the Same to you. But ...😊
When Paul sings, it sends great chills from my top to my toes. A voice like his is just fenomenal
It's phenomenal ,
Man , I've loved this guy for over 40 years now.
He's a very talented musician/songwriter in his own right & love this cover of the original by Rose Royce
This cover is fantastic and i think that Paul Weller is really a great songwriter and musician, still from the times of the Style Council group
This cover is absolutely gorgeous! My favourite version of “Wishing on a Star”. He is so talented, I really hope I can see him live one day 🙏♥️🙏

Love Paul Wellers music since the late 70s a great cover version by a great man
Can't imagine my musical life without Paul Weller.
Totally spot on
Neither can I. I love this man so much.. His music has got me through a few decades.
Me either
Me too I love him 😆
The Mod God.
For me it’s not the song it’s his voice,,, I just love it
Paul Weller, the coolest dude that ever breathed.
Well, after Bowie. 😉
Don't forget Jamiroquai 😀
Not as cool as the great Bryan Ferry.
@@badumtsss6210 You are joking right ?.
Songs like this are the best meeting place for millions of hearts, right?
He's always had such a soulfull voice. Magical!
Paul Weller singing rose Royce just goes to show how diverse is his musical taste
Always been into his soul. Mod/ soul evolution
A great cover of a classic track from a man that has probably been one of the biggest influences in British music for the last 40 years.
spot on mate
This 100%
He is my all time favorite...started with the Jam in HS, but really hooked me with the Style Council. I have had the pleasure of seeing him 2x in small venues. Bucket List to meet this man, he has made such an impact on my life.
I'd love to meet him but anyway so greatful he has been there for me
th-cam.com/video/sQBrzOigoUI/w-d-xo.html
Bet 40 years ago no one could ever have imagined Weller doing this track! Superb cover, and one of his best songs!
Awesome. when you can touch this classic tune and do it more than justice tells me how great Paul Weller is .
Mi associo.Un abbraccio.
Just found him and his special lyrics & music GR8!
The best solo Paul Weller song. Great song, great artist
GOD BLESS U PAUL....
WHY NOT !!!
Angel was our wedding song in 1989 we love Paul Weller and me since I was a MOD back in 1980 ... absolutely brilliant... LEGEND ✊🏽❤
I fell in love with Paul when he left Jam...he is so underrated, so talented, and his voice has so much natural soul
The Mod Father has never been underrated ?
I remember when this came out! Live. Brilliant! Absolutely Great cover. Guitar solo just gives that little 'Something too!
Paul Weller, I lost the chance to see see you Live one"
Where are you. It's about time ★!
I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow where you'll be
And I'm wishing on all the rainbows that I see
Wishing on all the people who've, ever been
And I'm wishing on tomorrow, when will it come
And I'm wishing on all the lovin' we've ever done
I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I never thought I'd see
A time when you would be
So far away from home
So far away from me
Just think of all the moments, that we'd spent
I just can't let you go from me, you were meant
And I didn't mean to hurt you, but I know
That in the game of lovin' you, I was slow,
I feel it's time for us to make up, baby
I feel it's time for us to get back together
And make the best of things, oh, baby
When we're together, whether or never
I feel it's time for us to make up, baby
I feel it's time for us to get back together
And make the best of things, oh baby
When we're together, yeah whether or never,
And I'm wishing on a star
And I'm wishing on all the rainbows that I see
Wishing on all the people who've ever been
Wishing on tomorrow, when will it come
I'm wishing on all the lovin' we've ever done
But I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow where you been
Said I'm wishing on a star
My best mate died 25th march 2020 and loved Weller. There is a bright star shining outside of my house that I never noticed before. I'm sure it's him watching down
Sorry for your loss✊❤

He's impeccable, in every way. Voice voice voice, no one like him. And the sharpest looking guy no matter his age!
Even though this version came out in 2004 it has a retro Al Green sound. Definitely my favorite version of this song.
Truly love this song and it's made prefect when it's sang by the wonderful Paul Weller.
ANNETTE PALMER I can't leave it alone. I keep coming back and listening.. he reminds me of my husband. Both good looking sexy men. Watching him walking ... His walk is just like my husband's.. memories. Sweet memories..

What a voice....what a talent.
Love this man 🥰🥰
Best cover of this song ever ❣ I cry like a baby every time I hear it...😢 #paulwellerisagodmod
Take a listen to Teena Marie's version
Paul Weller has always had his own brand of soul. With an English flare!
I always thought he was funky as hell I became familiar with him because of the style council in the 80s I was like 14 or 15 dude was killing it then and now
Each version of this song is sublime...........Paul makes it simply magically
Very few can touch Weller at the top of his game
Talent, Soul, Feeling.... Damn! perfection
This last 3 yrs were hell on earth for me, music that saved me, style council and paul weller, beautiful man, thankyou x
Paul Weller... simply the best!

Lyrics
I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow where you'll be
And I'm wishing on all the rainbows that I see
Wishing on all the people who've, ever been
And I'm wishing on tomorrow, when will it come
And I'm wishing on all the lovin' we've ever done
I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I never thought I'd see
A time when you would be
So far away from home
So far away from me
Just think of all the moments, that we'd spent
I just can't let you go from me, you were meant
And I didn't mean to hurt you, but I know
That in the game of lovin' you, I was slow,
I feel it's time for us to make up, baby
I feel it's time for us to get back together
And make the best of things, oh, baby
When we're together, whether or never
I feel it's time for us to make up, baby
I feel it's time for us to get back together
And make the best of things, oh baby
When we're together, yeah whether or never,
And I'm wishing on a star
And I'm wishing on all the rainbows that I see
Wishing on all the people who've ever been
Wishing on tomorrow, when will it come
I'm wishing on all the lovin' we've ever done
But I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow where you been
Said I'm wishing on a star
