Rewind: Paul Weller - Brand New Start

This wonderful single by Paul Weller was released exactly 20 years ago today on 2 November 1998, reaching number 16 in the UK single charts. A gorgeous acoustic number that charms with its introspection yet uplifts with its melody and Weller's magnificent vocal. The song was recorded for the 1998 Greatest hits collection 'Modern Classics', and received criticism from members of the press who at that point regularly dismissed the songwriting legend's music as "dadrock". Dadrock or not, it's a stunning track.

In case you didn't know, Weller recently released his excellent new 'True Meanings' album, which reached number 2 in the UK charts. A highly recommended record.
