Weller, Paul - Bowie Lyrics






Do you know there's no journey?
We're arriving and departing all the time
You were just mortal like me
God is only just a melody

Make the best of every moment
We are not evolving
Or going anywhere
And it's fine

How can the world lose his name?
Everyone is bawling again
Burn the cross or leave it
Look above, you'll see me
We miss you everywhere

Awaken all the ghosts in your mind
Speak of all the good that you find
Live and learn that life is not unkind
Understand the demons that you fight

I know it just seems cold to leave see
We all have to go
Believe me
But letting go
Is thanking you

    Definitely different

  3. K.... S....

    Just beautiful.

  4. I.... C....

    It'll have your bins over.

  5. J.... H....

    Class I'm loving the album

  6. w.... ....

    Nice song and video but looks like the poor fox may be suffering from sarcoptic mange- could do with a bravecto small dog tablet given hidden in some food.

  7. W.... L....

    3:13 love it

  8. C.... J....

    I think it's beautiful. The home-like video style? It's my guess that was the aim of the director. Ms. Jo is experienced... I don't know the terms that people in the film industry use, but the many shots of just Mr. Freeman and the fox seem to be saying that he is like the fox? ALso, the film has a "The Little Prince" vibe.

    “I am looking for friends. What does that mean -- tame?"

    "It is an act too often neglected," said the fox. "It means to establish ties."

    "To establish ties?"

    "Just that," said the fox. "To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world....”
    ― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

    “People have forgotten this truth," the fox said. "But you mustn’t forget it. You become responsible forever for what you’ve tamed. You’re responsible for your rose.”
    ― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

  9. D.... M....

    Great video, average song and dire vocals as per usual.

  10. L.... W....

    Compelled to watch this afterwards.

    Sorry.....;)

    Paul Weller 1958-1982

  12. I.... C....

    Lovely video

  13. e.... ....

    Nice one Weller, beautiful song ,melody, lyrics and video .Happy Birthday Bowie. Love the blackstar ahh ooo ooo ooh echoes in the song

  14. N.... S....

    Is that Martin’s children?

  15. G.... ....

    Che bello!

  16. J.... M....

    Didnt get anywhere did it

  17. J.... V....

    Weller is class

  18. s.... ....

    mmm....not sure about this song .... also ....urban foxes are increasing in number and without natural predators are borderline protected pests, killing many birds and other small wild animals ...not to mention strewing rubbish all over the place

  19. s.... ....

    Very interesting choice to not attempt to vocally impersonate Bowie, but to do so stylistically. Paul sounds a lot like John Frusciante's solo records(or is it vice versa).

  20. a.... b....

    How big was the favor that Paul Weller owed to Freeman to let his kept woman direct this shitty video?

  21. G.... m....

    💫💫💫💫💫

  22. D.... ....

    Song by Labour Party supporter... video staring Labour Party supporter.

  23. J.... C....

    Seems like a urban Fox, adapting, evolving to human life

  24. M.... D....

    We are but strangers until we accept the differences without trying to change that makes the differences between us the same

  25. a.... t....

    still working for the tavistock institute Paul ??? isn't it about time you got a propper job instead of hoodwinking the brain dead masses we all know fox is 666 in geomatria ???....I used to like you but know I see you for the shill sack of shit you really are !!!

  26. M.... ....

    Beautiful video.

  27. A.... D....

    Is you the fox?

  28. E.... S....

    Lovely and sweet video, uncle Paul.

  29. D.... A....

    I don't usually like Weller's solo stuff, and I am not a bowie fan, but this is really good. The video is terrific also.

  30. S.... ....

    Weller further descends into mediocrity.

    S.... ....

    Beg to differ: it is his best stuff in years. The mediocre was the years 1996 to 2008, which saw some truly awful music from him.

    S.... ....

    Stuart,he's done nothing of any importance since The Jam split up.

  31. s.... ....

    Awwwww the lovely Martin Freeman

  32. r.... ....

  36. J.... D....

    HA! Dragging in Freeman is as bad as warbling with Adele!
    Now it's the Val Doonican style!
    When's the swing album coming out?

    J.... D....

    Hahaaaa Val Doonican now theres a name to cherish

    J.... D....

    You are a cock. Stupid thick name anyway.

  37. K.... C....

    Nice one my friend❤️

  38. W.... E....

    Wonderful.

  39. J.... F....

    @paulwellerHQ Thankyou again, at least this post won't get lost in the Rabbit hole of Twerkwittier! Made my Christmas in one song. Lyrics/video true I sent it to my Dad after not seeing him for 10years. Thankyou Paul&Bowie ofcourse. 🦊

  40. m.... ....

    Great song by the Mod father. But the video looks like it was made on an iPhone 😑

  41. a.... ....

    A mile better than Lennon's dreary Imagine. Cheers Paul!

  42. t.... ....

    🌠🕊🌺🐛🦋🌻💕

  43. E.... F....

    There's too much irony in this song for its own britches.

  44. F.... ....

    That house is huge

  45. F.... ....

    Are they Martin's children

  46. R.... E....

    Beautiful xxx

  47. S.... ....

    Martin Freeman is a friend I believe, and they are fans of each others work. They are both pretty stylish and serious #MODs as also :) MF: https://goo.gl/Zs4YjL PW: https://goo.gl/1jhKAc #wearethemods #quadrophenia #thewho

  49. H.... J....

    "I see no art here! " cry those without soul

  50. G.... K....

    Wait is the by David Bowie or by Paul Weller?

    G.... K....

    PAUL WELLER ,,BOWIE is the name of his twin son ,,Lennon IS THE OTHER

  51. A.... B....

    Do hope he`s not referring to the greatest music maker our planet will ever see .. `Jonesy`... in any way , shape or form !

  52. a.... ....

    It shows how the first "dogs" became Human Companions ... sort of.... so in 100 years foxes on a lead ?

  53. R.... S....

    Wow, what a beautiful song!

  54. d.... l....

    This is a sweet video. I like that it is a snap-shot view of a family having a moment in their backyard while nature comes to visit. I like that the focus comes in and out,. The music is simple and haunting, I have played it over and over at my desk at work. Thank you Mr. Weller to this lovely song and thank you Ms. Jo for the touching video.

  55. N.... ....

    This is amazing. The video is wonderful it’s simple and beautiful and the song is just fantastic. Master songwriter at work.

  56. M.... K....

    What?
    They should adopt a dog

  57. M.... G....

    Lovely. I can never understand someone down voting something so sweet.

  58. g.... ....

    I liked the song and the fox.

  61. D.... W....

    Okay okay i will admit it.. prior to listening & watching his vidio.. well i never did know of him.
    Very nice "stuff" for sure
    🖒🖒🤗😃😎.. i "gotta" ad "to comment" this much as well, while listening to Paul Weller i immediately liked it's "mellow"/"down to Earth" tone, along with the nice vocal work as well as its deep and poetic lyrics. His vocal style reminds me alot of lead singer Doug Ingles of "Iron Butterfly" and Doug has a voice that was Great!
    Perhaps i could learn to play this one on an old acoustic Fender "6 string" given to me years ago.
    💪✌😎😃🇺🇸⛵

  62. C.... L....

    I'm not crying, you are!
    This is my Happy Christmas~
    Ridiculously beautiful lyrics & I loved thinking the fox was Bowie trying to find & trust his place on this planet~ultimately leaving us all...

    C.... L....

    Me neither. I've just got something in my eye.

  63. G.... ....

    beautiful song..

  64. K.... C....

    Used to have a couple of foxes that I fed in my other house was reported by the Spanish witch
    to the council....Still fed them😂

    K.... C....

    Style! I like it. Over the 🤺 fence I mean then?

  65. J.... W....

    Usual and audible excellence. 👏👏👏

  66. N.... H....

    Really beatuful video, shame people can't appreciate the asethetic it's achieving. The song is lovely as well.

  67. �.... �....

    Poor fox looks ill.

  68. A.... J....

    Nice! A lovely and thoughtful tribute.

  69. E.... ....

    Nice video, average song.

  70. T.... S....

    His voice is so beautiful

  71. W.... v....

    Brilliant!

  72. M.... ....

    I don't think the video quite suits the song but both are really nice. And I love foxes. Hats off to Weller.

  73. K.... R....

    is this song about David or Pauls son called Bowie??? either way beautiful song and video.
    true meanings is an absolute masterpiece.
    Cheers Mr Weller you may just have saved me.

  74. l.... t....

    Wow...i modern song i actually like!!...rare thing...not really surprising it took an old master to write it

  75. e.... g....

    Beautiful foxie

  76. M.... S....

    Not terribly good as songs go.... the lyrics are pony, too

    M.... S....

    'as songs go', mathew your a legend.

    M.... S....

    Yes Matthew the lyrics are a small horse. Well done.
    Can't wait to hear your songs.

    M.... S....

    Matthew Stokes Aaaawwww you’re just jealous.

  77. S.... K....

    I don't know where to begin, it's all so beautiful...

  78. W.... K....

    A lot of things about this feel so tacky. I don’t know if the director was going for a home made feel, but if they were they completely fell short. Half the video is blurry (well all the video really but I mean the director used way too much unfocus/focus shots) and the other half the camera is shaking so much. It also looks like it was filmed on an iPhone 4. Not to mention the credits?? Or should I say credit......... I don’t know who this Jeanne is but that’s a bit unprofessial?? Putting your name in giant font for 7 seconds and not mentioning Martin or the children or even Paul again. Yeah it was at the beginning but it’s important to credit him at the end. If you watch the pick it up video that has legit credits at the end. Sighhhhh. Very disappointed in this one. But killer fucking song! Loved that!!

    W.... K....

    I thought it was pretty foxy.

  79. e.... ,....

    The back garden at 221b baker Street is bigger than you'd imagine..........A, comedy gold, I'm here all week, nice tune aswell

  80. W.... ,....

    Very moving song by the modfather! 😎

  81. D.... D....

    Dapper!

  82. N.... K....

    Its hardly All Around the World is it? PS I played Stanley Road last night

  83. j.... ....

    Big Weller fan but Freeman’s Vodafone ads are better than this tosh.

  84. R.... P....

    Paul Weller – one of the great English composers.

    R.... P....

    From 77 to 82.

    R.... P....

    No Till Now.....

  85. N.... A....

    U sure it's not Bing Crosby and Bowie again

  86. S.... P....

    Will always remember that scorcher of a year that was 1995, Paul Weller released Stanley Road and David Bowie later released Outside in the same year! Great music, great times! Paul Weller will always be my personal hero and David Bowie will always be an undisputed legend!!!

    S.... P....

    @Andy W 1995 was a kick ass year, the music was immense!! I remember buying the Stanley Road guitar chord book and learning 'Changing Man!' on my Gibson Replica with a Marlboro between my lips, trying to nail it! Bowie's 'Strangers When we meet!' has to be one of my favourites!! I also tried to copy Paul Weller's hair style at the time and I didn't quite nail that!!! Bring back that long hot summer of '95!!!

    S.... P....

    Mr P Weller and Bowie equal legends both great composer of sound ,design ,and Lyric.

    S.... P....

    @Richard Annor You are so right man!!! Absolute legends of Sound and Vision!!😊

    S.... P....

    1995 was a blinder of a year. What a summer! I was 24.

    S.... P....

    Thanks so much for sharing this clip. I included it in my Weller feature @t

  87. H.... G....

    Sublime!

  88. G.... ....

    Isn't Wellers son called Bowie...?

    G.... ....

    Yes, one of them

  89. E.... P....

    I'm in love, song & video story. Just beautiful & I can't stop listening to it <3
