Paul Weller and Suggs got together with some horns and made a song. But there's another video! During which Suggs rolls around on the ground and Weller chews gum while singing.

And another - live - version.

I don't know this just makes me happy. Sunshine!

They can call the band OLDNESS!

(It's a fun song, both of them hit my 80s teenage nostalgia buttons pretty had. And I'm glad to see Suggs up to something other than phone-it-in travel shows. Didn't like the wrong-way turntable in the first video, tho. Set me free, sunshine! )

Didn't know I needed this song today. Going through *things* and was not expecting this melding. Heaven knows what the song is really about, if anything, but these lines are how I'm feeling:

But you never give up
No you never give in
Cause you are the one
That set me free


The second video took sixteen-year-old me forty years forward: Weller too cool for the place and Suggs doing what I expected from the lead singer of Madness.

I mourn the Jam. At least Paul hasn't gone down the fascist road with Morrissey and John Lydon.

I might be wrong here, but: maybe Weller and Suggs are paying tribute to their fans?

We are the sunshine.
