Paul Weller 'It's A Very Deep Sea'  L.A. 21/10/2007 (soundboard)

傘のバラード

長く降り続いた／雨は止んで
何本も買い替えた／傘の山をながめてた
水曜日に捨てた

どんな形だっただろう／空の雨雲
雷と同じに／お腹が鳴って笑ってた
日曜日は晴れた

長く降り続いた／雨は止んで
飛行機のとおる音／かき消された言葉たち
水曜日も晴れた
Goodbye, you made my day
Goodbye, you made my day


written and all performed by Kent Funayama

傘のバラード(original ver.)

Paul Weller is no stranger to more discerning clubs, with genuine nuggets such as the Juan Atkins remix of Style Council’s ‘Promised Land’ in his back catalogue and tracks like ‘Kosmos’ and Brendan Lynch’s re-working of ‘Wild Wood’ all featuring heavily at legendary nights such as the Heavenly Social over the years. Now with ‘Starlite’, Weller flips the script again, producing a brand new soundtrack for the long hot summer!
 
Weller speaks "Here's a brand new track called "Starlite" in time for the summer. It's not from the forthcoming album, it's just for NOW! It's part Balearic beat, poetry and psychedelic music. I hope you like it. PWx"
 
First up for remix duty are DFA/Permanent Vacation stars Black Van, the duo of Kris Menace and KoweSix. Teasing out the intro, before dropping a chugging disco beat, sparkling synth pads and the song’s chorus for maximum cosmic disco effect.
 
Chile’s Ramon Tapia is up next and El Carlito doesn’t disappoint with a remix that runs Weller’s vocals through the echoplex, twisting the song into a percussion fuelled dubbed out house number, snippets of vocals and pianos coming together for a proper late night burner.
 
Taking the track in a completely different direction is London’s Deadboy whose remix draws upon the UK’s Funky sound, but living up to his name adds an almost spectral, ambient quality to the track. Music for the witching hour.
 
Keeping things frosty, Russia’s D-Pulse deliver a chilled out remix, all downtempo skittering drums and gentle bleeps and beeps that builds to a mesmerizing conclusion.
 
Finally the funkiest Norwegians currently active in dance music, Drop Out Orchestra, complete the package with one of their trademark extended live disco workouts. 8 minutes of cowebell, horns, strings and analogue synthesizers, will have you checking the label to make sure you haven’t stumbled across some long forgotten classic.
