Good morning sir, I am writing this from India as a young student. This song ushered a surge of emotion in my heart, how beautiful and lovely your voice is. I instantly started weeping like a baby. My country is going through a time when religious riots, police brutality, communal hate and violence are rampant and the youth is being swayed by the fascist leaders, to hold up ultra conservative ideals. There is hate all around me, in films, in books everyday online and with my eyes I watch protesters being beaten by the police, being aressted and even killed. Borders are being drawn and war is taking place and I am powerless before it all. I have been feeling such profound sadness and fear for my country and your little song gave me a little solace that in this world there is still a warm corner where there are eyes who can see past all this and have the courage to spread love. Thank you so very much.
I am so sad for your country too 😢...and for you😢 .....i send you loving thoughts of hope for a FREE WORLD....just as frank imagines...as we who are here for his music imagine....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏i pray for you your country and the world
My parents were born in 1984. I was born 20 years later. I turn 20 this year. It’s all so scary., to feel that you are losing every bit of the life you’ve lived as you grow older. But this is so, so beautiful. Every single word just hit and stuck to the most tender and vulnerable part of my soul, but in the best way possible. It’s a comforting ache. So thank you. Saying goodbye to my childhood isn’t so hard when there’s lovely music to listen to.
Your song is a great statement about stopping dangerous“us against them” thinking. Division getting worse in US for sure. Our presidential election will be a circus!
Love it man. I've been in a pretty harsh state of writer's block for a while...still working, but this is inspirational. I love how you put yourself in the seat, put the pen to the paper and your hands on the strings and write from your heart. I wish we could work together sometime. Keep it up.
Frank, this song was as beautiful as the rest! I love your original songs. They have so much depth and truth. I hope you are doing well, Frank. May God bless you!
You put your words beautifully to the situation we all face now, no matter where on this planet we live. When you add your voice, it feels comforting and heard. Thank you, sweet soul.❤
You are probably one of the most talented people I’ve come across on RUclips. I’m obsessed!!! ❤ Your original compositions are amazing. I truly appreciate listening to you.
Making folks think about things as well they should … funny today I was chatting with my cats and dog and I asked them, ”what is this 1984?” when I really meant “what is this Animal Farm!” ☮️🙏☯️
Whenever I feel so stressed about medical school, I always listen to your music to calm down, and you always help me relax before my exams. Thank you for your beautiful music. You really have a special place in my life
The lyrics is so meaningful and simply beautiful and calming, but at the same time sad. The chord progression and the singing all together brings the image you wanted to create in this song!! I love it!! Thank you!!
Well written and the guitar work is beautiful. People are waking up while others sleepwalk. Just keep waking them up in a way you can. Sleepwalking is dangerous.
i enlisted in the military only a fee days after my 18th birthday, and i felt this song in my core. it just became one of my favorites, thank you frank
Beautiful, heartfelt, heartbreaking, so true. Lovely Mr. FW. Godhelpusall.....the most privileged among us....continuing to wreak horrors upon this planet......wish we could dropkick these angry warmongers.....stay safe love your music 🌻🌻🌻🌻
fantastic as always. every single time i listen to your covers, or songs, i feel so relaxed, fulfilled, i cannot explain how amazing your singing is. this is an absolutely gorgeous song, and these words are so true, every single one of them. thank you, truly, for making so many meaningful yet also stunning songs.
Started off listening to some of your covers, and now have been listening to your own compositions, and am blown away by your songwriting skills. I’m so glad your songs are recorded for posterity, and hope they deservingly find a wider audience.
Like 1984.
