Lyrics
Some mornings I pray for evening
For the day to be done
And some summer days I hide away
And wait for rain to come
‘Cause it turns out hell will not be found
Within the fires below
But in making do and muddling through
When you've nowhere else to go
But then I remember you
And the way you shine like truth in all you do
And if you remembered me
You could save me from the way I tend to be
The way I tend to be
Some days I wake up dazed, my dear
And don't know where I am
I've been running now so long I'm scared
I've forgotten how to stand
And I stand alone in airport bars
And gather thoughts to think
That if all I had was one long road
It could drive a man to drink
But then I remember you
And the way you shine like truth in all you do
And if you remembered me
You could save me from the way I tend to be
The way I tend to be
‘Cause I've said, "I love you," so many times
That the words kind of died in my mouth
And I meant it each time with each beautiful woman
But somehow it never works out
But you stood apart in my calloused heart
And you taught me and here's what I learned
That love is about all the changes you make
And not just three small words
And then I catch myself
Catching your scent on someone else
In a crowded space
And it takes me somewhere I cannot quite place
But then I remember you
And the way you shine like truth in all you do
And if you remembered me
You could save me from the way I tend to be
The way I tend to be

"Love is about all the changes we make; and not just 3 small words." Never has a more intelligent sentence been written.
Had a breakdown of sorts a few years ago (cliche I know) but Frank's music helped me through. Haven't listened as much recently but coming back to it, glad it was there for me when times got tough.
I have 11,362 songs on my iPod.
This is my favourite out of all of all of them.
hard and beautiful
Driving to work this morning, it was freezing cold, raining, a miserable day. Then this song came on the radio. I'd never heard it before. But soon enough I couldn't stop smiling. I had this overwhelming feeling that everything will be alright.
7 Years later and I still can't sing the prechorus without crying. This song has stood the test of time.
My (now) husband showed me Frank Turner a few years back. I really needed his music when I heard it. I was in a dark place and this music saved me. At the time, my husband and I were best friends, nothing romantic. Now, our son is almost 1 year old and I couldn't be happier
Frank is a fertility god.
This belongs in r/wholesome posts
Way to go!!!
Poor guy had to show good jams to not be Friend zoned
@@ProjectAnomalyofficial unexpected reddit
He got him a shovel, and he's digging a ditch
Nice :-)
At least we know he's a man of his word!
hes gonna fight for that four square feet of land like a mean old son of a bitch
He's got himself a future, he's not stuck on the past
Jutta Wehlan / Philae hes up on stick hes got no new tricks but hes a machine and he was built to last
She took a plain black marker and started writing on his chest
Listened to the song countless times for the first time Watched the video
Frank Turner it was beautifully crafted
For those asking for the meaning of the video, it is a metaphorical take on the song itself. The singer tends to be depressed and hopeless, shown here by him digging himself a grave. But no matter how many graves he digs, he always climbs out of it and walks away from giving up life because of the memory of his ex. It's a beautifully poignant video, and it really brings out the emotions of the song (and a tear in your eye). :D
Exes...;)
Ex.
Plays every ten hours in my walmart where I work stuck in my head now good song
🤣
Plays like every hour in my publix where I work. Now I happen to love this song. Fuck.... lmao
I wish the grocery store I work at played Frank turner
My teacher used to play this song every day on his masive playlist he used to shuffle for everyone who arrived early, this song played at least 3 times a week
@@go_rizzo_grow everyday for weeks it finally stopped playing it
I heard this song in Publix grocery store and new exactly what it was... Am I getting old!?! Not a diss!!
Well yes I agree with you,Hello how are you doing 👋👋👋👋
This song reminds me of someone... Some people are never forgotten
Man I fucking love Frank Turner. Songs about my life played back to me
Jacob Myers well said, brother!
Jacob Myers my dad plays Frank turner in the car and I love itt
This is by far the best FT video aesthetically and message wise. He literally needs to dig himself out of the ditch he is in and no one's words can reach him. It's just stellar
Best song ever
Yes that truth and I agree with you,Hello how are you doing 👋👋👋👋
Happy 11th anniversary to this song!
Also, this is the first time I see this singer with a passionate talent! 💖
One of the best song writers of all time.
agreed!
It's okay to cry to this song ya big bear
Thank you
I can't make it to the concert in Indy tonight... So I'm just gonna repeat Frank Turner videos on youtube, cry, and hold up a lighter.
Well you make a good point in your comment, Hello how are you doing 👋👋👋👋
"and I catch myself catching your scent on someone else"
^^^ one of my favourite ever lyrics.
In love
Frank and his backing band, The Sleeping Souls, are a bunch of musical geniuses. I cannot wait until November when I'm seeing them live.
"I've been running now so long I'm scared
I've forgotten how to stand."
Only Frank Turner can look awesome with a shovel slung over his shoulder and an end is near sign.
Brilliant!
Yes that truth and I agree with you, Hello How are you doing
Been listening to Frank Turner since 2007, I hope he finally gets the recognition he deserves with Tape Deck heart gaining traction.
Mike Burke seen him support green day at Wembley stadium an he blew me away
I had heard Frank way back when he first started. I didn't know his name or really anything about him at all. Years later at the last Warp Tour he was there and it instantly connected. His music brings me so much joy and helped me get through so much mental illness. Covering his music even got me a start in my own musical career. I hope that one day I can shake his hand and thank him properly. Until then, thank you and peace brother. ✌🏻
I think that he is the best artist I have ever heard not going to lie after Covid I really needed this because we were all stuck at home. BTW i was only seven when that happened and I practically broke. Ten now
We saw Frank Turner sing at Looe Festival 7 years ago, He was brilliant, we loved him before, loved him then and still love him now. Fantastic musician and lyricist 🥰😘🙌🏻🎤🎶🎵💞 Thankyou Frank for so many great songs.xxxx.
Beautiful comment, Hello how are you doing 👋👋👋👋👋
I am so happy that Frank is becoming more well known, he honestly really deserves this.
FRANKIE SAYS DIG.
Love this song far too much. Never ceases to amaze me!
Need this guy on my allotment
Banger... Frank Turner kills it.... Seen him few times .... And Extras ..... Love him
Frank Turner is simply amazing! Doesn't matter how many times I hear this song, I tear up.. Very moving song... One day I hope to see him perform ...
Reminds me of Raining Blood by Slayer
Lol!!!!
Why does Frank Turner not have the bigger following he deserves?
Frank Turner is one of those artist I see myself never getting bored of
Yes I agree with you,Hello how are you doing 👋👋👋
Best live show you'll ever see.
God what a ignorant comment 🙄
So, this is kind of just conjecture, but here's my understanding of the video.
The reason Frank is wearing the 'the end is coming' sandwich board, is literally symbolic of the feeling at the end of a relationship, where it all feels inevitable, that it's coming to an end. That's all rather straight forward. My favourite part of the video though, has to be the hole digging.
I think this is literally him 'digging himself a hole', or getting himself into a bad situation after a relationship, emotionally. He often refers to drinking in his songs, so lets say that after a relationship, Frank gets a little boozy and depressed. The wonderful metaphor is the girl at the end. He spots her, and it literally and metaphorically brings him out of his hole, making him feel better, and giving him the impetus to move on.
Zooming out on the several holes just shows that this is a repeated process, and something Frank is all too familiar with.
Read this and think it's bullshit, or agree, it's all just art, so is completely subjective, this is just my understanding!
joshrich43 This is very much along the lines of what I was getting out of the video too!
joshrich43 when i tried telling someone this was one of the most beautiful videos i'd ever seen, they didn't get it, and i didn't bother explaining my interpretation. had i done so, i'd have said what you just said, word for word. this song and video are so personal to me and the things i've done and experienced, it was just too heavy to try and get someone else to understand.
joshrich43 alternative interpretation, from the back of his sign, he's setting up the world's worst golf course.
joshrich43 sorry for the triple reply, but i do disagree with one thing though, he doesn't really see the girl, or even stop for her, he just climbs out and walks away. i think he finally stopped and thought "what am i doing? why am i doing this to myself?" and finally stopped digging, finally recovering from the heartbreak that lead to his cycle of self-destruction, or in the video, hole digging.
joshrich43 I think slightly differnt, shes is always behind him, and he looks through her, so although it is her that helps him move on, its the memory of her and the relationship that he knows that he fucked up. "i remember you and the way you shine like truth"
so the end is coming, the end of him ruining his relationships for stupid reasons, like after all those holes, all those fuck ups, he has finally learned from what she told him all those ruined relationships ago.
He tends to sabotage relationships but finally knows that he wants to wake up with familiarity, he doesnt want to be always on the road anymore.
He is ready now to finally to take on a real relationship and to truly love, to make the changes for someone he never could for the girl in the video which is why he walks past her, kind of think it is a "right one at the wrong time" kind of situation here
Frank saves me from the way I tend to be.
Yes you make a good point in your comment, Hello how are you doing 👋👋👋👋
such a great song
you are awesome frank turner
Shine like Truth in all you do
He got him a shovel, and he's digging a ditch.
still amazes me just this past March no one knew who Frank Turner was I'd play his songs on my guitar w/ my friend getting strange looks and now he is suddenly popular I love it! congrats Frank!
I still can't listen to this song without feeling the bittersweetness of what I recognised as being a touch of depression last year, can't exactly say I had it but negative thoughts came out of nowhere(even though I have been blessed with awesome friends and family) and it striked me whilst I was stressing over university work, the combination sent me crazy, I didn't wanna get out of bed cos of the 10,000 thoughts going through my mind. But there was one person who I kept remembering...and every single lyric in this song is identical to how I felt...even the "I stand alone in airport bars and gather thoughts to think.." .. forever my favourite song!
Nothing is perfect, but this is as close as it gets! Thank you, Frank.
Habe diesen Song heute im Radio gehört und mich sofort in diese Musik verliebt. Frank Turner wird mich ab jetzt wohl häufiger im Leben begleiten.👍👍👍🌠
Awesome songs, gorgeous voice and fit bloke...can't get much better than that :-) love a guy that can play guitar and sing nommmmm x
Hello how are you doing sarah👋👋👋👋
Just heard this banger at longhorn steakhouse love it
Frank Tuner is a genius. “Love is about all the changes you make and not just three
small words” stuck to me like glue. Holy. effing. feels. The message, in my opinion, is to reminisce on the past as you embrace the mistakes you've made. My favorite feeling when I listen: Do not be afraid to look back and cherish your innocence. We’ll never get it back, and this jam made me sit back and just yearn for the past- the part which made me. Honestly... what songs today make you feel this way? Don't be dicks, I just happened to hear this song when I needed it most. If you contest me, then you lack feelings entirely.
Beautiful comment,Hello how are you doing Christina 👋👋👋
my daughter showed me this song after doing a modern dance solo to it. 💕 now love it
Yes I agree with you, Hello how are you doing 👋👋👋
I heard this song today while on hold with publix and absolutely LOVED it
Yes you make a great point here Melissa how are you doing 👋👋😔
deserves more views!!!
I've got no clue where I first heard this song but I somehow knew enough lyrics to look it up and I'm glad I did
Some mornings I pray for evening,
For the day to be done.
Some summer days I hide away
And pray for rain to come.
It turns out hell will not be found
Within the fires below,
But in making do and muddling through
When you've nowhere else to go.
But then I remember you,
And the way you shine like truth in all you do.
And if you remembered me,
You could save me from the way I tend to be.
Some days I wake up dazed my dear,
And I don't know where I am.
I've been running now so long I'm scared
I've forgotten how to stand.
I stand alone in airport bars
And gather thoughts to think:
That if all I had was one long road
It could drive a man to drink.
Because I've said I love you so many times that the words kinda die in my
Mouth.
And I meant it each time with each beautiful woman but somehow it never
Works out.
You stood apart in my calloused heart, and you taught me and here's what I
Learned:
That love is about the changes you make and not just three small words.
And then I catch myself
Catching your scent on someone else
In a crowded space
And it takes me somewhere I cannot quite place.
Thank you miss AZLyrics
Best song Ever!!!!!!! Listen to it to get to sleep, helps so much!!!!!!!!
That's the Holy Spirit helping you. He helped Frank to reach higher heights, and the song is carrying God's love, connectivity and mercy. It's in the lyrics for all who can see to see...
I love this song!
Yea it’s beautiful and I agree with you,Hello how are you doing 👋👋👋
picked up guitar/singing a little under two months ago and uploaded my first cover the other day. woke up to a comment saying i sound like an american version of this guy. first time hearing him and im feeling real confident right now.
Youre pretty good keep it up
i like tht not all the song relates to love from a woman or s/o but just love in general.
reminds me of my kids.
Have problems seeing my oldest 2, so i find my self remembering things about them in hopes they are doing the same about me.
If you're half as lovely as that beautiful sentiment, I'm sure your kids are thinking of you all the time. Kindest regards
+Kyran Wilson thank you
gumby the don kids always think of their dads mate regardless of how the mom instills other thoughts in their heads I had problems with my ex over my lad worst time of my life but he tells me everytime I see him that he loves me so much , a bond unbreakable! !
gumby the don: I agree. For me I sing this song and it touches my heart and makes me think of God like most love songs do. How much I love Him and all that. I sing this to Him..."but then I remember You and the way You shine like truth in all You do and if You remembered me You could save me from the way I tend to be" It puts me in a sentimental place where I cry out to God "and then I catch myself catching Your scent on someone else in a crowded space and it takes me somewhere I cannot quite place" 👑❤️😍
If you work in retail you unfortunately have to hear this song every shift.
imo one of the better songs that you can hear in the radio
Frank Turner in the rain...yum
Hello how are you doing 👋👋👋👋
"And then I catch myself, catching your scent on someone else... In a crowded space... and It takes me somewhere I cannot quite place"...
Great song !
Like truth in all u do. The way I tend to be. Some days I wake up dazed. One long road drive a man to drink. Remembered me save me from the way I tend to be...
Hell yesss!
Frank Turner is a Don.... End.... Lyrics Are Banging / Tunes are Bangers.... Just a top man... And he's repped clothing for a shop I used have, but this man's tunes are important to me personally.... Quality....
"And then I catch myself, catching your scent on someone else."
I went to a Flogging Molly concert last week that he opened for, and told us a story about that line. He loves koalas, so when he got to met one while in Australia he was super psyched. But he had just split with a girl he really loved, who used eucalyptus leaf shampoo. (Y'know, the only thing koalas eat.)
The damn Koala stole his girl?!?!?!?!??! /s
Jeremy Lusk I am forever now going to think of Koalas thanks to this. cheers
Jeremy Lusk yeah I'm going through that right now
He told us that story too, at a show in Mexico!
LOL!
OMG I LOVE THIS SONG!!!! I HEARD IT ON CBC RAIDO 2
wow he dug a lot of holes
I know! he must be really buff to
***** Aye Right... He is marrying my Aunt Kate xD xx Jk
jeeze ur jucky man
the real crime is that people think it matters about the amount of number ones an artist has. Fuck that just keep making great music and bringing joy to people, Frank's an inspiration to thousands and I'm sure that's more than enough for him.
I was looking for his son Recovery, and now I am downloading his entire album. Wow. This album in 2022 hits different...
Yes you make a good point in your comment,Hello how are you doing
I'm only here because this song plays all day where I work. Now it's stuck in my head..
At least you know someone with great musical taste. ;-)
"A man alone in the woods with a shovel while I'm alone in the woods too? I'm going to approach him."
I was so happy when I heard this on radio. Oh Frank, you are just simply wonderful.
@Alice hello, how are you doing. It's nice meeting you here
I heard this at work today in Vans and I HAD to find the song!! I typed in so many variations of "you will remember me" before I stumbled upon the right song!!
Damn it, Frank! Now my face is leaking.
glad to know i'm not alone lol. This man seems to have a direct way to yank on the heartstrings. Love him.
Leaking semen? Frank Turner has Cazz Allen's face leaking semen?
seriously, this isn't that good, let alone articulate
@@danieldaniels5282 okay
Find someone who reminds you of who you used to be. That person all the time ago.
This song deserves 5 million views
This song means more to me than I’d care to admit. The ways I can relate to these lyrics are nothing short of whole-heartedly. Keep making music FT!
They play this at my work (a grocery store) and I always thought it was a gospel/ worship song, sounds just like "that sound" if anyone is familiar. I so had it pegged, I thought with lyrics like "save me from the way I tend to be" and "I remember you"..... so I looked up the lyrics I could remember to confirm my suspicion, thought it was gonna be Daughtry or something I dont know the name of, but apparently this guy just sounds like that music. Coulda fooled me! Has anyone else noticed this similarity?
+CareandCompassion They do the same at my work, and I thought the exact same!
+CareandCompassion When I worked at wendy's they used to play this on the radio as well. I was blown away when I realized it was Frank!
totally thought the same! sounds like something from UCB
+CareandCompassion unfortunately you are right.
They play this at my work too...
im diggen this song
Just seen Frank Turner on BBC news ... to be honest first time im listening to his music ... im hooked
I find it hard to talk but this man speaks my thoughts well,
hear this song at work all the time, finally fucking found it
Publix?
This video is so damn epic!!
Same situation!! but i've been hearing this song for at least 2 weeks whilst on my shifts. Perfect song when it's quiet with no customers :)
For me Frank Turner is the greatest artist nowadays. The last record it is really great.
"It's an old fashioned hole diggin'. By gar it's been a while."
You're not fooling anyone, Gonzalo Higuain.
3 years later, you made me die from laughter, kudos :D
I DIG THIS!
Seeing this guy tomorrow at Nottingham Rock City for the 1st time, best mate raves about him. Love this song by him.
CAN YOU DIGG IT?
This guy reminds me of billy brag. Good song. And for some reason he makes me think of Brian Fallon and the gaslight anthem
Listened to gaslight anthem after him, very good artists but I like Frank turner just a biiiit more
listen to Brian Fallon's "Painkillers"... I think they're even.
frank turner is life, brian fallon still a little behind him.
Gaslight Anthem/Brian Fallon solo/Horrible crowes will ALWAYS be number one. Brian Fallon is perfect 100%
this song just takes me somewhere else
This song is so deep.
Anyone else think of that bit in Forest Gump where he just runs for no reason
This video is a homage to Time Team....Day 4, trial pitting inconclusive, time to use the geophys equipment.
found this funnier than I should've
My wife brought me to a Frank Turner show a few years back. We are recently divorced and I am missing her today. I haven't ever listened to Frank Turner but remembered him today. First song I found was this one. How appropriate yet sad for me.
Upon the first listen, this was the song that from its first bars made me say it was well worth waiting 3 weeks to get the album: the first shipment got lost in the mail (I'm from Italy).
I just love the way Frank can always find the right way to express what you feel and cannot put into words.
These are the lyrics that really stole my heart:
You stood apart in my calloused heart
And you taught me and here's what I learned:
That love is about the changes you make
and not just three small words.
When I sing along with this song, I always mess up the timing of the "remember" me part.
AzNightmare snap your fingers to the beat. The 'em' holds for a 3 and a half counts, I believe.
@@subthermal Yep, it's on the "and" of the third beat, except when the music drops out and he does it on the third beat.
Love everything about this... frank turner, the music , the video & everything else. but one quick nit-pick would a young girl really follow a random man with a shovel through a wooded area in the middle of nowhere ?? :)
Young girls are pretty stupid.
Out of all the Frank Turner songs I've heard over the years from Million Dead to now, I swear I could listen to this one all day every day.
I've been a music nerd my whole life, but there are just a handful of artists who I can listen to on my darkest day and still smile...Frank is definitely one of them.
