What a day that was. Was there with a woman I loved very much and this moment was magical. It pretty soon all fell apart but I kind of think if we had met much later in life love might have been kinder to us. Still, its a wonderful song and I always think of her when I hear this.

The new wave era. For me it's the best. I was 15 then. This is my favorite song by the Style Council, You're the best thing. So cool. My ever changing mood is also one of my favorites.

How gorgeous is Paul and that sultry voice ❤

Couldn’t get enough of Style Council growing up in New Zealand when I was young. Had to wait patiently for radio stations to play any of their music. The joy now of being able to sit back and listen at my own leisure is just absolutely blissful. Will never ever tire of his amazing voice.

Love this song. Eternally, one of the GREATEST EVER written, and sung, by this young man, in his day. Sincere Aloha and God bless on the journey ahead.

40 years later, I was 20 yrs old, I had NO idea The Style Council played Live Aid! Growing up in Canada, I'm a big Jam and Style Council fan, we watched most of the Philly concert, which was great, esp. The Cars and Queen on the UK side. I'll have to revisit some more bands that I missed and or forgot. Great Era!!

Just the most happy memories ever. Cool band and great song. Sadly time doesn't stand still and 40 year's ago we all have the love and memories of such a happy day. A day l would have back in a heartbeat. Love to you all ❤

The abrupt key change from A major to F” major is beautiful and way ahead of its time, and the transition back to A major is smooth and seamless. Such a great bit of writing.

[Hendo]

Most underrated band ever just love them

Weller, probably the only performer from that day at Wembley that's not a caricature of himself still in 2022 .

This is absolutely beyond fantastic!! I love this band! They were just ahead of their time. Listen to those beats, those arrangements and just the sheer energy of this band!! Be it, slow groove, chamber groove or just a regular pop funk groove this band could carry over now and sound as relevant ( even more so today) than most of this music today!!
I am serious and direct in saying this too! This band has a sound that just lasts through time!!
Just incredible!!

Paul Weller always the best singer of 80s🙏👍💪❤️

[dystar]
