If I lived to be a hundred , if I was to survive , I think that I would be the most saddest man alive , all of my fur babies all of my mans best friends would certainly have left my side by then. If I live to be a hundred as very few do I hear, what would be the chances of you still being here, trapped inside a care home body worn and broken, chances are i'd have lost my mind nurses voices softly spoken, as they wheel me to my bedroom, wondering if this will be the last time. If I lived to be a hundred , if I was to survive , I think that I would be the most saddest man alive ,
Thank you for the lyrics! I am deaf and I can still hear music to a certain extent! Your videos are absolutely captivating and moving. This song reminds me of a Hank Williams song with the vibes it gives. I cannot wait to see more of what you have to offer in 2024!
I love this!! You need to get it recorded! I hope you read my comment on your Creep song. My grandpa lived to be almost 111 years old. No wheelchair, no nursing home!! He lived every day with his music, garden, golfing and ballroom dancing! Please don't think you'll be the saddest man alive. You bring so much happiness to your audience!! We love you!! ❤❤❤
Losing all family at 29 within 3 months. The pain so many of us carry, or will have to carry eventually, tears could fill oceans. Handling an additional 30-50 years after surving my first seems impossible. I've always felt the hurt and healing in Frank's songs, I hope for a million more. Thank you Mr Watkinson.
I just discovered this man on RUclips, and I can’t get enough of him. Is he perfect, no? Does he mis a chord now and then, yup? But there’s something comforting and wonderful about his voice. ❤
Frank, this song was so heartbreaking yet so beautiful. you have the ability to make the saddest words into the most euphonious melody. yes, aging can be scary but with each year you have the opportunity to make more wonderful memories. i hope you’re doing well, may God bless you!!
Amazing Frank. I was just doing laundry thinking my great grandparents, grandparents, and parents have all departed, and normal progression places me next, and as always, you pull off an amazing quickie so relevant. Love it! HugS
I'm 68 and in very poor health. I feel my mortality every day and your beautiful song touched my heart. You play so well and are so talented a gift to all who hear you.
This very beautiful you have a very beautiful voice please keep on leaving and be happy I have found your covers and original songs really good have a nice day.
Frank sir, no matter what mood i am in by the time i start listening to your music, halfway through i always start crying. Your music is beautiful. Im not of such belief but i can surely say you're a singing angel. I only ever felt this way when listening to Wolf Larsen or Gem Club, but never as powerful and emotional as i fell coming from your music. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing voice and guitar with the world ❤
Frank, I cry everytime I listen to You sing. It is amazing how you can capture so many emotions in your music. You really touch our souls with your voice. Thank You for doing that. Lots of love from Poland
If you do live to be a hundred, i hope that every day is full of love, laughter, family, furry babies, good health, and great music, and you right in the middle of all of it still clever as ever. It's the least that the Universe could do to give back a fraction of the joy you've brought all of us out here listening. Happy 2024, Frank - may this year be full of all of the above, and more 💖
Very powerful lyrics Frank..this 1 made me think alot deeper about my own immortality. Love it and LOVE you, my friend. ❤😊 Give Marshall,Milo and Rolo a special hug today. Pets are so awesome.😊 Much Love from Ohio ❤😊
Dear Frank, As I sit, alone, I listen to your songs. And it leads me not to pain but to healing. My life has not been an easy one, just as anyone else’s life may not have been an easy one. But you have saved it from ending far too soon. And for this I thank you. I thank you with all my heart for what you have done and what you still do. If I were to have one dying wish when my time comes, it would be to meet you. Thank you Frank.
Poignant thoughts. A possibility we all face. I believe your special someone will be right there by your side. Frank, God will continue to bless you.❤❤❤
I wish I could come over to drink coffee and play chess. I think there are a lot of us who wish we could all individually make your day bright each time you sing for us.
This is incredible, thank you. I'm 33 but have such incredible anxiety about living longer than everyone i love and being alone. It keeps me up at night. This song echoes those fears but is somehow so soothing. Thank you
Creep came up on my recommended. I was captivated from the first sound of your voice. Now I've just finished Saddest Man Alive, and I'm overwhelmed with emotion. Thank you for sharing your profound talent with the world.
This was so cathartic to hear, so powerful! I feel like in these last 4 minutes, you helped me to process my father’s passing. Thank you so very much for sharing your sweet music with the world, Frank!
I'm with you man , well written and performed . Reflections and realities of aging can hurt . Bless you for expressing this wonderful sad tune . Your voice and picking and thoughts are one . Blue Ribbon man .
To Frank's family: Your guy is touching tens of thousands of hearts. That's a lot of lives. That's a hero. You are very lucky to have him. Hold him close.
This was such a beautiful song, you have such a comforting voice, and I can't wait to see your next video. Keep making your beautiful art my friend. It's greatly appreciated.
This is beautiful. It captures death and life in such a way that you sit there and think about it. Thinking about your future and what is to come. Thank you for this song.
Randomly stumbled across your song, I was very touched and would definitely return to it, often. Very powerful and well written (and performed!) Thank you for sharing with us your music, I will do a deep dive into your original creations 🌼

Ladies and gentlemen, we need to keep this man's music alive for generations to come as this is the most beautiful thing I have listened to.

Your voice is amazing, and skills on the guitar are seasoned. Long live Frank!
