Affiancato ancora una volta dagli ex Ocean Colour Scene Craddock e Minghella, Weller tira fuori dal cappello un album estremamente ben scritto, ben prodotto e ben suonato.
Non che non me lo aspettassi da quel bastardo dello zio Paul, ma… no, cazzo, ora che ci penso meglio non me lo aspettavo proprio. Come sempre ricco di influenze soul e fottutamente inglese, Weller dà il meglio di sé nelle canzoni più tipicamente rock, che si infilzano sotto la pelle già al primo ascolto, così come la splendida, folkeggiante All On A Misty Morning (che ho scoperto mentre tornavo a casa distrutto, premendo per sbaglio il tasto shuffle sulla mia cagata di autoradio-mp3 player… cose belle) o nella bluesata I Wanna Make It Allright; al contrario perde un po’ nelle ballatone piano e voce… sarà che mi deprime il romanticismo, ma non sono quelle il motivo per cui dovreste comprare ‘sto pezzo di plastica rotante.
Ebbbravo il Modfather.

08 From the Floorboards Up (02:27)
I've got a feeling
From the floorboards up
Call it a calling
If you like that touch
Call it what you will
I really don't care too much
I've got a feeling
And I know it's right
I get it most evenings
If not every night
It sings in the air
And dances like candle light
When we play, we play, we play
Mama, from the floorboards up
When we dance, we dance, we dance
Papa, from the floorboards up
When we sway, we sway as one
From the floorboards up
From the floorboards up
I get a feeling
From the walls and chairs
They tell me of the things that
Have always been there
And all that is not
Will have to go back to dust
When we play, we play, we play
Mama, from the floorboards up
When we dance, we dance, we dance
Papa, from the floorboards up
When we sway, we sway as one
From the floorboards up
From the floorboards up
I've got a feeling
And I know it's right
I get it most evenings
If not every night
It sings in the air
And dances like candle light
When we play, we play, we play
Mama, from the floorboards up
When we dance, we dance, we dance
Daddy, from the floorboards up
When we sway, we sway as one
From the floorboards up
From the floorboards up
From the floorboards up
10 Savages (02:58)
you're savages, he knows you are..
do you not think that god is looking down?
on you savages.. the children run, to mothers
you put bullets in their backs
ah cowards, can you not see
do you not think that love is coming down?
you have no gods, they have all disowned you,
you have no love, so you take it out on,
people's lives in progress,
that's what keeps you going when you're savages
savages, you can dress it up,
give it a name and a fancy uniform
and a flag to fly to hide behind,
can you not see the truth that's on the ground
you have no love,
it has all gone cold on you,
you never have, so you take it out on
those whose love is growing,
that's what you hate most, when you're savages
do you not see the love is coming down?
