This is the best homemade music video I could find with the original recording of this song by the Faces. The singer is not Rod Stewart, who would later cover the song as a solo artist but at the time felt it was below him. Rather, it is guitarist and future Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood. His unpolished warble fits the vibe of the song perfectly. It's about love and growing older, but it's catchy, and the use of mandolin is perfect.
I was thinking about this song the other day, and I just remembered the line that goes "I wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger." I searched that line in Google and thankfully came up with this one. As it turns out, it was actually the Rod Stewart version I listened to originally, but I fell in love with the tumbling original recording, with the mic-shy vocal and its raw, simplistic country beauty.
