I don't care how long this lasts
We have no future, we have no past
I write this now while I'm in control
I'll choose the words and how the melody goes,
Along winding streets we walked hand in hand
And how I long for that sharp wind
To take my breath away again
I'd run my fingers through your hair
Hair like a wheatfield I'd run through
That I'd run through -
And I miss you so - I miss you so
No you're gone I feel so alone
I miss you so
I'd send you a flower - a sunflower bright
`Cause you cloud my days messing up my nights
And all the way up to the top of your head
Sunshower kisses I felt we had
And I miss you so - Oh baby I miss you so
Now your gone, I feel so low - oh I miss you so, I do
But I miss you so - Oh darling I miss you so
Now your gone, I feel so low - oh I said I miss you so, I do
All I gotta do is think of you - and I miss you so
Baby I'm... I`m afraid to say why - I miss you so
Baby I'm... I`m afraid to say why - Oh I miss you so
Listen to: Sunflower -- Paul Weller
Tribute to male Mod Style and the universally recognised figure credited with reviving Mod culture in the UK, The Jam and the Style Council’s Paul Weller, affectionately named ‘the Modfather’.
Male Mod fashion from the 1960’s onwards focused on quality bespoke tailoring, high quality shoes, and groomed hair. They wore army surplus Parka coats to protect their expensive clothes and Vespa scooters enabled guys to get around comfortably without ruffling their look too much. Vespas also symbolised an elegant and exotic continental vibe that the Mods aspired to.
Declan wears Milo Love is Love D&G inspired suit worn with crisp white shirt and narrow black tie (Mod staples). His shoes are shiny black patent brogues (also Love is Love Milo). His green Parka coat is from Hot to the touch Bellamy.

John William "Paul" Weller Jr (born 25 May, 1958) is an English singer-songwriter and musician. Weller achieved fame with the punk rock/new wave/mod revival band The Jam. He had further success with the blue-eyed soul music of The Style Council (1983–1989), before establishing himself as a solo artist in 1991.
Despite widespread critical recognition as a singer, lyricist, and guitarist, Weller has remained a national, rather than international, star and much of his songwriting is rooted in British culture. He is also the principal figure of the 1970s and 1980s mod revival, and is often referred to as "The Modfather".
The Daily Telegraph said of Weller: "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." The BBC described Weller in 2007 as "one of the most revered music writers and performers of the past 30 years" In 2012, he was among the British cultural icons selected by artist Sir Peter Blake to appear in a new version of his most famous artwork – the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover – to celebrate the British cultural figures of his life. He has received four Brit Awards, winning the award for Best British Male twice, and the 2006 Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music.

Changed to black and white with Nelly Nero's 'chrome' action, then ran her 'modfather' action. I added a texture by French Kiss and followed a tutorial by Gavin Hoey to make the panels. The tutorial is for a triptych but it was fairly easy to adapt it for four panels - anyone know if there is a name for that?

Terni, centro commerciale Il Tulipano - Listening the Modfather
Come taste the wine
Come lose yourself
Taste this time
But keep it well -
Only love it all
With heart and head
For there is no drinking,
After your dead.
Dive and swim
In the amber ocean
See all that you can
In this new emotion -
And embrace it now
Before it's skin sheds
For there is no drinking,
After your dead.
Stand back to back
With yourself again
As your spin and reel
Like a new found friend,-
And have it all
With heart and hands-
For there is no love making,
After your dead.
And today is but a second
If tomorrow you may die
And empty pages glistening
In eternity's lie
And time is buy an essensce
Encased upon the wall
That brings our day of reckoning-
Much closer to us all.
Light the candle
And burn it well
For only time knows
What it cannot yet tell,
Only love it all
With heart and head
For there is no drinking,
After your dead.
("There's no drinking after your dead"/Paul Weller)
One of my all time favorite performers, it took 17 years for him to come back to Detroit, but the show was fantastic so it was worth the wait. Sorry for the crap image, I took it from the rear of St Andrews on the balcony with my phone.
The Who, Paul Weller, Kaiser Chiefs and Johnny Marr at Hyde Park London. 26th of June 2015. Was this really The Who's 2nd to last concert in the UK? Hope not as they were playing very well and Roger's voice was awesome. Great day out with old friends :-)
Brian McCloskey: The Legenderry Boy In A Dress
Everybody’s favourite DJ has done it again! Over the past few years, Gary Crowley has curated a handful of excellent compilations, unearthing lost gems and revisiting forgotten classics from the late seventies to the mid-eighties - and his winning streak continues as he moves into the nineties with a wonderfully eclectic and terrifically energetic three-CD collection of blasts from the more recent past. [Fact check: If you graduated from university in the early nineties, that is *definitely* the recent past.]
Disc 1 - Classics - blasts off with The Wonder Stuff's rollicking A Wish Away and barely pauses for breath as it serves up killer tracks from the likes of Electronic, Primal Scream, Saint Etienne, The Sundays and Gene. The perfect power pop of Fountains Of Wayne's Radiation Vibe proves why the late Adam Schlesinger was the perfect choice to write the theme song for That Thing You Do! and if you're not familiar with Beth Orton's Trailer Park or Luscious Jackson's Fever In Fever Out, the inclusion of She Cries Your Name and Naked Eye should have you scurrying off to investigate further: you won't be disappointed!
Disc 2 - Curveballs - is an even more wide-ranging assortment of sounds and styles from Dodgy, Ocean Colour Scene, Miranda Sex Garden and more. Bennet's bizarre hymn to the glories of frozen food - Mum's Gone To Iceland - is outdone in delirium only by We're Not Supposed To by Supergrass. Best of all, however, nestled between Molly Half Head and Ned's Atomic Dustbin, is Travelling Light by Tindersticks and Carla Torgerson, a beautiful strings-strewn ballad of longing and regret which I mostly ignored in 1995; half a lifetime later and now in my fifties, I can appreciate the power of the emotional punch the song packs. Growing old is a funny thing: the songs stay the same, but we change.
Disc 3 - Bangers - does exactly what it says on the tin: fifteen floor-fillers guaranteed to get you moving and grooving. Fatboy Slim [Everybody Needs A 303] and Tricky [Black Steel] are the most well-known choices, but there are great selections from Lo Fidelity Allstars, 18 Wheeler, Definition Of Sound and Renegade Soundwave, whose Probably A Robbery might be the only top-forty hit with "skulduggery" in the lyric - and is all the better for it! In addition to World Of Twist and Fluke, there are reworkings of tracks from Manic Street Preachers and Paul Weller - and the Modfather himself is one of the interviewees in the accompanying book. Alan McGee, Sarah Cracknell and others also share their memories from the nineties, alongside Gary's own track-by-track guide to his selections.
My own musical nostalgia tends to focus on the era of the early years of Smash Hits and I confess I was a bit wary when I first heard about this set - but I needn't have worried. Gary has the best job in the world and he does it so well: Indie 90s Playback is another essential set of songs, hand-picked by a DJ whose passion for music remains undimmed and is evidenced every time he assembles one of these box sets. It's a perfect Christmas present for yourself and the music lovers in your life - I am already looking forward to Volume 2!
Gary Crowley's Indie 90s Playback is available from Amazon UK.
