I think he gets his dues by those who know AND oh by the way , I agree his muSic( Jam and Style Council ) does indeed hold true today. Messages politically and socially relevant in 2021 as they were in 7Os 80s
Even more relevant after Thursday's local election results with Labour taking Wandsworth and Westminster that it hasn't run for decades as well as councils from Cumberland to Worthing!

This really shows how bleak and shitty Warsaw was in early 80's and makes one appreciate how far we have come. This shots from Warsaw in this video are straight up depressing. And make for great contrast with this amazing fucking song.
I remember bunking off school summer 85 with my girl, buying this on single from woolies, sneaking back to hers while her parents were out at work loosing my big V ❤ and blasting this out the windows afterwards on a beautiful sunny day !!! Oh to be young and free again…😍
"If we came together so strongly" . The Style Council have been 1 of my faves since 1984. Paul Wellers writing, Mick Talbots, D.C.Lee, and Steve White, their contribution to British pop music should not be ignored. Much ❤️ to the Style Council.
So young, so young! This album was the soundtrack to my 1985. Always loved their positivity and man, Dee looks amazing in this video! What a gorgeous woman.
can't give more thumbs up 👍BTW. Your nickname: great movie. Sadly one great dialogue between Christian Bale and Natasha McElhone gets censored regularly 😊
and don't forget the fall of the iron curtain that was just realized/happening ... the nukes were abandoned, agreements signed, the soviet system collapsed ... we were hopeful (i was 20 in 1985 and went back to school after 3 yrs in army and serving on a nuke base in Germany), the cold war was over, the world was ours ... and then Nato ruined it by wanting to be the "ruler of the world". Now i say "Yankee, Go Home". Bring down our own walls. The Russians wanted cooperation and peace. We did not give them a chance and kept fighting them.
Take a bow Mr Weller ! A spokesman for a generation he most certainly was. this song echoing what was going on throughout the crazy but wonderful 80's. Unity was powerful and yes, the walls came tumbling down !!!
Like, how can you even say that? From Wikipedia: "In 2007, the BBC described Weller as "one of the most revered music writers and performers of the past 30 years".[61] In 2015, Pete Naughton of The Daily Telegraph wrote, "Apart from David Bowie, it's hard to think of any British solo artist who's had as varied, long-lasting and determinedly forward-looking a career."[62] Please explain to me your rationale for making the massively uninformed comment you made. He's made SIXTEEN (16) albums. I'm so close to losing my composure, and I swear to you it has been wholly tested in the past 12 hours. Your comment makes it sound like "British bands out there" are meteors in space with destinations unknown. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. 🔥
I love how its 'blame'. Its not just poverty, homelessness and everything material that the ruling class takes from us. Its the blame, the morality. You dont just get nothing, they tell you that nothing is what you deserve. It captures so much of modern society in a phrase.
jesus this song really gets under my skin. I love it more now than I did as a kid. Man, Paul Wellsr does something to me. 30 years ago, how time flies ! And the lyrics are still relevant today
i became a fan of style council before The Jam..... being only 14 or 15 at the time......but here we are forty years later and I still love and appreciate both. I can only imagine the talking head record company execs saying please please please dont do this....
When i see audiences like these emotionally voided people, i really respect the entertainers for keeping the energy up...Takes an especially strong person to do this !
Being a skin in the 90s it was just Ska, Punk, Oi, and Hip Hop. As I am creeping closer to my 50s, I have found an admiration of Paul Weller's discography from the Jam to Style Council. Just very smart and stylish.
I've always just loved this video, it's so natural to see a day in the life of Style Council in Warsaw, Poland, where my mother's parents were from, i just love that it is a small venue and the video shows a very natural feeling, makes me feel at home in a musical way, love this and you guys! Really thrilled Paul Weller is still making his own music and touring, T Leckner, Montreal
Hi m8. I really think that Paul Weller should definitely be knighted 4 his great music. And 4 releasing the Jam track . That's Entertainment as a ace A side single. Which always reminds me of a great Chess match 4 Portsmouth against Cosham in a Cole Cup Chess match. That I played in. Which l was 4 pawns down and I still 1my game. And we 1 the match 4 1. And That's Entertainment also reminds me of a great Human League gig that I have gone to c.
same here mate id pay a wad to go back to wigan casino deeside leisure79 the jam[the birds there awesome] seen the council in liverpool empire.. was on ardrelaline rush all nite [plus bit amphettes] loved the 80,s
I have always wondered what life was like in the U.K. in the 80’s. Most of the musicians I followed in the 80’s were from there. It was a great time to grow up on the U.S. I think it was probably the last great decade.
This was on 'Now That's What I Call Music 5'. I played those tapes to death in 1985 as a 10 yr old. Looking back, I feel almost spoiled with all the brilliant music that we just took for granted because we had no idea how CRAP the music would be in the future.
*yawn* what a lazy clichéd comment, and if you played this to the generation before us they would say this was crap and the 70's had the best music, and my mum doesn't really like much from the 70's but loves the 60's, whereas my grandad thinks everything from the 60's is just noise....do you see what I'm getting at? The moment you start saying all modern music is crap is when you have finally lost touch with modern music trends and you have become your parents. If you can't find any good music to listen to since the 80's (especially with literally every song, written and performed, being available to listen at the push of a button then you either aren't that bothered about listening to music or you're just using these crappy old arguments to get likes CZcams. There is literally no excuse for not being able to find new music that you would enjoy in this day and age.
@@andrereloaded1425 - Because it's such a baited question. It just becomes a "Eww they're crap!!". I don't know what you genres you're into. I like everything from Hip Hop to Dub Reggae, Death Metal to Jazz, Techno to Indie, Blues to Drum & Bass, Glam to Punk, Reggae to Funk, Disco and Soul and everything in between. I spend most of my time looking for, and listening to, new (or old) music. I have been collecting records since I was about 4 years old. My first "real" album that I purchased is still one of my favourite albums ever, which was "Dirk Wears White Sox" the debut album by Adam & The Ants. There's literally no point in me trying to suggest what bands I think compare favourably to older bands as you will just turn it into a musical willy waving contest. This is the biggest cliché ever, but it's true, music is completely subjective. But to get the best out of it you have to be open minded, and ready to embrace new bands, styles and cultures.
@@tobietera ok no examples, just 'I like everything from A to Z'. I thought it was an easy enough question but you've even decided what I would say in return. Priceless.
A number performed with perfection years before its time. Notwithstanding, same theme , same lyrics , same world AND as of 2021 same unbelievable brilliance of Weller, the beauty and professionalism of Dee C Lee and everything related to the Style Council.
Walls Come Tumbling Down!" adds a dash of post-punk urgency to the glossy soul that had become the Style Council's stock in trade. Soaring, anthemic music that makes this single the best protest single of its time and place.
The social commentary on this track still stands today. As it's still happening and still similar. The technology changes but the social problems remain
Weller wrote so many great songs and this one still holds true today. It's a real pity the world never made him a music superstar, he deserved it
Probably one of the most underrated singer/songwriters.

DC Lee is a timeless beauty. Always fancied her when I was 12, 50 now, nothing changed.
Style Council is one of my favourite bands of all time.
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
"If we came together so strongly" . The Style Council have been 1 of my faves since 1984. Paul Wellers writing, Mick Talbots, D.C.Lee, and Steve White, their contribution to British pop music should not be ignored. Much ❤️ to the Style Council.
Dee C Lee's vocals on this track really make the song stand out.
No doubt. Top comment.
Dc Lee what a voice. What a stunning looking woman thanx gjk xx
They were married for a while.
Yes😊
@jamiewilson5679 true I remember ..Good olde days lol xx
Paul Weller is an absolute legend and so under appreciated
Oh, what baby talk. He's a national leader.
So young, so young! This album was the soundtrack to my 1985. Always loved their positivity and man, Dee looks amazing in this video! What a gorgeous woman.
Yes, I loved 1985 . To be 17 and be totally clued up 😂 fantastic times
@@carolecochrane9515 Indeed. I still love Dee C Lee to this day.
私も！
Yes she's beautiful .,but I was in love/lust with Paul Weller since The Jam... I'm 54. Going on 24 😊😅
This song should have a billion thumbs up. Paul Weller's hair alone is worth at least half of that. ;-)
2023 what happened? Where did all this awesome stuff go.
Their live version at Live Aid, Wembley was awesome, blistering. The lyrics were true then and sadly, still true today.
can't give more thumbs up 👍BTW. Your nickname: great movie. Sadly one great dialogue between Christian Bale and Natasha McElhone gets censored regularly 😊
Now is the time we should shout this song.
No war !
surely one of the greatest singer songwriter guitarists of all time
Not even close to the best!
There are precious few and Weller is just a prolific genius.
Context of song, early 80’s in riotous England. 30% unemployment, political , shout to the top, solid bond in your heart, He was on our side
and don't forget the fall of the iron curtain that was just realized/happening ... the nukes were abandoned, agreements signed, the soviet system collapsed ... we were hopeful (i was 20 in 1985 and went back to school after 3 yrs in army and serving on a nuke base in Germany), the cold war was over, the world was ours ... and then Nato ruined it by wanting to be the "ruler of the world". Now i say "Yankee, Go Home". Bring down our own walls. The Russians wanted cooperation and peace. We did not give them a chance and kept fighting them.
lol, you failed at school, unemployment was only 11.4%. at its max.
What a fabulous band they were
DC Lee, the goddess.
She is a total stunner
You could see why Weller had the hots for her:-)
A lovely girl from Herefordshire.
Absolutely captivating.
Unity is powerful.
Do not forget that.
I'm listening even in 2020
From Japan
The legend paul weller is a musical genius from the jam - style council & solo career absolute genius 👏
And four years later the wall came tumbling down! Never underestimate the power of a solid groove.
Weller is cool.
and
D.C.Lee is so beautiful !!
Kou Ohyama she stunning
I love her
I envy Weller's floppy, black, shiny and elegant haircut.
What a great song. Full if energy!
