In a song filled with transcendent imagery, the very simple "feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away" just.....well....it just crushes me. How old was Weller? 22. Chrissakes!
@Rottenhaus if you're anything else than up, you're out. And where does this odd behaivour come from? From the fear of not fitting in, that fear is so strong and creating such a desperation that people are willing to do whatever it takes to live up to their vision of what's fitting in, wether it is a lot of money, getting away from working class or hating immigrants. That isnt culture, that's entertainment. Sorry for rambling.
@Rottenhaus Todays so called "culture" is all about showing off, getting as much attention as possible (facebook twitter, quick ways of telling the world about yourself) look at the artists, Lady Gaga is doing her shows, trying to get attention. but you dont want a real attention, you dont want people to know the real you. You want people to see a fake, perfect person instead of the real person, who's both up and down when all there is today is superficial "ups".
Yeah this song's a powerful anthem with a rockin beat and if it don't strike a chord with you, ya must be a few synapses short of a full nervous system...(brain-dead) huh?
Makes me wonder about some retards on here, commenting on a song you proclaim to hate yet can't seem to stop disgussing and obsessing over it. Get a life PENISES
I was 14 when this hit the world. Like them I'm from the home counties, but the words didn't strike a chord with me then and for years afterwards, I lived a privileged, though hardworking life. Now, all those years later and a lot of money and a lot of love down the drain, the words mean so much more. In short, in a word we didn't use then....awesome!
@themodette Thats it TY!!
ReplyDeleteAnd not a single fuck was given that day.

ReplyDelete@wuwei619 lots of blokes feel the same way, though he has got the "power" to be able to express that feeling.
