    Lyrics
    Well I know I'm just an ignorant Englishman
    But I'd like to make America great again
    So if you'll forgive my accent and the cheek of it
    Here's some suggestions from the special relationship
    Let's make America great again
    By making racists ashamed again
    Let's make compassion in fashion again
    Let's make America great again
    Well I've been fortunate to go 'round the continent
    From California through the midwest and Providence
    And I've mostly only encountered common sense
    Hospitality and warmth from Americans
    But I wish it was a bit less significant
    The program and the name of the President
    Because it seems to me the truth is self-evident
    You fought our king to be independent
    Make America great again
    By making racists ashamed again
    Let's make compassion in fashion again
    Let's make America great again
    Ellis Island take me in
    Everyone can start again
    In the shining city on the hill
    Where nobody can be illegal
    Let's make America great again
    By making racists ashamed again
    Let's make compassion in fashion again
    Let's make America great again
    Let's be a friend to our oldest friends
    And call them out when they're faltering
    Remind them of their best selves and then
    We'll make America great again
    #FrankTurner

    I'd like someone to tell me what I've been doing with my life: if I hadn't heard "Little Changes" in a grocery store, of all places, twice, I'd still have no idea this guy existed. And thank God he does. This is my new hero. This is Joy.

    I love that an Englishman reclaimed the battle cry "Make America Great Again" and wrote a song about inclusion, compassion, and our better selves...AND THEN took it to the streets in a funny and heart-warming video complete with a bit of Brit humor! wonderful :D

    Please have a live version of this on the album or for sale as a single. The message behind it and Frank's willingness to try new stuff is utterly brilliant. Compared to the live clip I've seen of this song, this version doesn't compare. It needs the emotion and passion this man shows in his live performances

    There's so much musically across this album that feels weird because Frank is playing with so many different new sounds; part of me is a little put off...but then I hear the lyrics and I get that little lump in my throat that reminds me why his poetry is so powerful and why I love it so much and then nothing else matters. It's fantastic. It's fucking fantastic.

    Every time I hear this song it reminds me of why I'm so against so much of the shit going on in this country. It's easy to focus on what you hate but this track makes me think of what I love and why I stand against all those things. We gotta remember what we're fighting for otherwise we're just bitter people. I want my country to be what it promises in the statue of liberty, and what my teachers taught me in school, even if they didn't mean it. I want everyone to be able to persue their own dreams, and be themselves, and for people to not be listed as "illegal" or lesser for where they were born or who they love or the color of their skin. Thanks for reminding me what all the anger is for Frank; it's so easy to forget and just get bitter and angry. As always, your music has helped by headspace. Maybe I can't do shit on a large scale, but I can try to be a good person myself and be welcoming. When everything you read about is fucking nazis and bigots, it's easy to lose perspective.
