Kudos to Mr Weller for acknowledging that great song writing is not contained by genre.
Beautifully done
🤔He’s got 7 kids 🙃.. 🔥& skill 🐐🙏🏿
He is a muso at heart and appreciates all talent despite the genre.
Paul Weller is a national treasure. A true genius and he has left his mark with a beautiful rendition of a lovely song. Music is his life.
Never truer words spoken! He's left quite a few marks.
Can you imagine being billie, knowing that one of the GREATEST artists love your song so much he covers it. I mean cmon that's just class. Talent always recognizes talent.
I’m 43… not sure if the original is more haunting to my soul, as it makes me feel like I’m a teenager again… or Weller’s version which makes me feel like the old man I’ll eventually become. Both are exquisite 🙏
Aww that brought tears 😭
I'm 61 and both versions spoke to me in the inverse way, bittersweet for the life I've had, from teenager to near-retirement, the constant self-questioning, the potential - realized and not - and the perpetual uncertainty, and hope, for what remains of my (our) time on Earth.
yeah it is so fascinating hearing it from an older perspective.
From the 70s to now, Paul Weller has always been a great singer
For me.. This man can't do anything wrong.... Brilliant.
Quite stunning and very moving. Can't imagine how my life would have unfolded without him and his music - thank you sir.
🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢
That voice has lived a life.
A duet between Paul and Billie would be pure magic!
Oh yeah. Would love to see that happen for sure 👍🏻
Now that I would love to see!
No thanks
I haven't seen him in years, he morphed into a splendid classical sculpture
I'm standing here in my kitchen halfway around the world, not even wanting to breathe as I listen to this song -- it just autoplayed and I just froze in place to take it all in. Big thanks to the algorithm for bringing me this little slice of bliss. Paul Weller (and the rest of this great band) is perfect.
Stunning version , Paul Weller has a beautiful voice and this song fits it perfectly. ❤
This performance demonstrates that this song works on all levels. Is genre-less. All encompassing. What Billie and FINEAS created lives on in so many great ways.
The great Mr Weller has been one of my favourite musicians since I was a schoolgirl back in the early 80s.
❤🙏
So touching. It is possible to perform this song so differently but beautiful. Simply a different statement of art.
Paul Weller is a treasure! Seems the Brits so appreciate him for good reason. Here in the US? Sadly not so well known. Deserves a lot more respect over here in the US.
Paul Weller is like a fine wine and just gets better with age, his voice is better than ever! 66 is fab and this is just lovely
The bloke is timeless, great voice!
Paul Weller’s voice is as good now if not better than ever. Brilliant and slightly unexpected cover.
What a wonderful cover of this song! I'm such a huge billie eilish fan, This is incredible.
Wow, the legend just keeps on surprising with his raw talent
I’ve been listening to Paul Weller since 1977…what an incredible talent.
No words do Justice. Wonderful job Mr Weller and band. Great great song by Billie Eilish and Finneas.
Wasn't expecting to like this, ended up loving it. Lovely Cover. I know he's thinking of another cover album, songs like this would be amazing.
What a beautiful performance!
My hero ❤️ That voice is like pure velvet 😍
Absolutely brilliant
Heart achingly beautiful. Not often I have seen Paul singing other artists songs as it’s usually the other way round. Truly beautiful song by Billy Eilish.
From the 70’s a fresh punky drink to a beautiful fine red wine 🍷 pour me another Mr Weller 🫶🏻
It’s 🥲Paul Weller ❤perfect voice for this! Love him
Paul Weller covering Billie? That was not on my literally ANY YEAR bingo card. Love it
What a voice, instantly recogniseable 👌🏼
Paul Weller is a gem!
Fantastic ! Paul when he does a cover always picks brilliant songs and adds to them this is no exception , is there no end to his talent? I hope not.Wishing on a star is sublime .
amazing version! very touching.
Wow, didn't see this coming, brilliant and moving!
Perfection.
Loved the original blown away he covered this it so suits his voice what a great duet this would make with BE
Nailed it! 無懈可擊！
Was never a fan until the last few years …. He sings this song so much ease 👍🏻
He Still is a Very Gifted Artist 🦋💜
Awesome rendition. I'm a fan of Billie and have always been a fan of Paul 😊
Absolutely beautiful.
His voice his angelic, caramel delights
Yeah gets you right in your feelings, just heart breaking 💔 beautifully done. Good on you Paul and all the others 👍👍.
Wow. I have always loved Paul Weller in all his musical incarnations but now having a teenager about to leave home this means something else.
Paul Weller. A true artist.
Breathtaking 😢touched me deeply
great cover ......
Beautiful
Just beautiful
Gorgeous! The best thing I’ve heard this morning.
I've never heard this before but I'm moved and in complete awe, of both Paul's interpretation and Billies talent. Fucking wow!!!
Touched! You, always you, Paul!
So so good.made for Wellers voice 😎
Before hearing this version, the only version that lives in my head rent free is the meow meow meow meow version. Thank you Mr Weller for covering this!
Wow I love his voice
Speechless
Paul, que maravilla de versión. Te felicito
I’m gonna be honest, this is one of the least expected covers I’ve heard. It’s awesome though
Thats why he’s the ! 🐐 !
Not too sure about js hair !
I’m so glad I met him when I did The word Genius is banded about to often But in his case I’m all for it ..👍🏾#checkoutlizaradely
It is rare that I hear a cover that I think is better than the original. His Studio 150 Album didn't quite do it for me. This one does. His voice is better in his 60s than ever, which is surprising. Gorgeous.
Bravissimo, voce stupenda 🎉🎉❤❤❤
Outstanding
Ohh my goodness, FANTASTIC
wow, so beautiful cover. love this song cause paul sing it.
He's still got it !!!!💌
A beautiful cover ❤
Absolutely sublime. Would love to see this released for Record Store Day next year if all the rights holders could agree.
Absolutely stunning! 💚🙌🙏👌🍀
Absolutely beautiful!
Как же прекрасно ❤
Class Mr Weller 💙
Beautiful.
This is beautiful.
I did not have Paul Weller covering Billie Eilish on my bingo card
❤❤❤ Please release it!!!
Great song
I adore him.
I love this! Amazing! ❤
Good to see like a version has been adopted around the world
Breathtaking Paul
Stunning....
1:02 His voice is so velvety! It is indeed a beautiful rendition of the song.
Amazing moving cover
No words , only 💚
Wow... ok... even as a Weller fan I wasn't convinced he would pull it off. I was wrong.
Absolutely astonishing.
Wow, never appreciated Billy's version but this is another level.
I only listened to it once but I never understood their approach to the writing of the composition. Why the melody and the harmony was written in a limited meter? To reflect the lyrics?
Beautiful song, a masterpiece ⚡🎸🎼🎹💣
Well done Paul that’s all I want need to say Well done growing old gracefully is an art form
Love weller his voice never ages him and Billie need to duet this!!
delightful
This just made me cry cos it so amazing so good and special. Love this xxxx
Beautiful ❤
Love it
I reckon he's got a big career ahead of him this Weller fella, seems pretty good...
@@mareebrocklehurst9370 You are joking? 😂
I'm joking
I'm very happy to see this ✨✨✨
Sending love from New York City.😘😘
Perfectly beautiful ❤️
weller the god of my understanding pure genius
Tolle Stimme wow ☺️
Beautiful cover! Credit to the band too!
The song is undeniably a masterpiece and Paul has the power to distill this future classic into something rarer still, but I’m not certain the band were required on this one? I imagine just Paul and the Rhodes would be enough - hauntingly poignant.
Or Paul and a grand piano… I’d love to hear Paul and piano do a covers album of modern tunes that he loves.
