Paul Weller Music Videos

The Wake Up The Nation Music Video features Weller as a performer like no other. The song and the video was co-produced by his colleague Simon Dines who collaborated with him on the "22 Dreams" LP. The video was created around Dines' idea. The two to three-minute video showcased Weller's crossover between minimalism and grittier soul vibe which became reminiscent of a typical 80s Post-Punk Revival clip. Weller dedicated the music video to his father John who died in April 2009 from an unexplainable illness.

The You Do Something To Me Music Video was an adaptation of the musical "50 Million Freshman" written by Cole Porter in 1929. Weller made use of Porter's significant lines and situations from the book. Prior to Weller's release of his own rendition, the video was already interpreted by legendary musicians such as Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra. The song is one of the most frequently played music videos of the decade, and became an inspiration for several modern soul and classical acts, who recorded their own rendition of the video. Weller was the one who suggested the idea of conceptualizing a semi-classical approach to the video.

The emotional aspect in many of Weller's videos is very noticeable. The Town Called Malice Music Video is evidence to this. The video is basically an expression of the interaction between his commercial success and his struggle for simplicity as an artist. It is also one of his few noted "unplugged" music sessions. Weller has proven that he can effortlessly bring fearlessness in his minimalist compositions. There are a few versions of the music video. Some were taken from his struggling years in the music scene while some were taken from his memorable live performances in UK. Music video reviews favored the live version of Weller's music video because of the energetic feel of his performance in front of the crowd. Already in his mid-50s, Weller continues to inspire listeners with his unique brand of artistry that is barely seen in other musicians his age.
