doing a music business course at uni and it gets me down to see how money and commercially driven the music industry is. every time i listen to frank turner he reminds me why i want to be involved in music. because i love music. this song really sums that up. really refreshing and inspiring as always
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.
you know nothing. There's loads more good, new music out there than when I was under 25. I speak as a 45-yr old former Peel junkie. The fact that you rely on the radio says more about you than quality new music.
got to agree with the comments here. I havnt listened to radio... well ever. and there is a ton of great stuff now. It just seems ao hard to find. or maybe im just too old.
Such an awesome back story and proof that class isn't inevitable. He saw the failings in this own "social class" before him and kicked it straight in the face.... lyrically.
I love this song because the lyrics really do sum up why rock and roll has such a profound impact on people. It's just a perfect rock song in and of itself. It has a chipper tune, but you could still listen to it when your sad or angry. Good one.
Lyrics: Hear ye, hear ye, friends and Romans, countrymen Hear ye, hear ye, punks and skins and journeymen Hear ye, hear ye, my sisters and my brethren The time is coming near Come ye, come ye, to soulless corporate circus tops Come ye, come ye, to toilet circuit touring snobs Come ye, come ye, to bedrooms, bars and bunker squats The sound is ringing clear Now who'd have thought that after all Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all Now who'd have thought that after all, it was rock 'n' roll Hear ye, hear ye, now anybody could take this stage Hear ye, hear ye, and make miracles for minimum wage Hear ye, hear ye, these folk songs for the modern age Will hold us in their arms Right here, right now, Elvis brings his children home Right here, right now, you never have to feel alone Right here, right now, teenage kicks and gramophones We hold them in our hearts Now who'd have thought that after all Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all Now who'd have thought that after all, it was rock 'n' roll And I still believe (I still believe) in the saints Yeah, in Jerry Lee and in Johnny and all the greats And I still believe (I still believe) in the sound That has the power to raise a temple and tear it down And I still believe (I still believe) in the need For guitars and drums and desperate poetry And I still believe (I still believe) that everyone Can find a song for every time they've lost And every time they've won So just remember, folks, we're not just saving lives, we're saving souls And we're having fun And I still believe Now who'd have thought that after all Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all Now who'd have thought that after all Something so simple, something so small Who'd have thought that after all, it's rock 'n' roll Source
Every time I'm feeling any level of depressed, I just listen to this man and his wonderful music and I become so happy. I would diagnose Frank Turner to people suffering with depression, that's how much I love this.
Saw Frank and the band open up for Social Distortion in Modesto, CA last week -- fucking amazing. Should have been a co-headlined show. A song for the ages.
saw this dude in a small punk rock club that can hold maybe 200 people in oklahoma and it was the most rockiness show ive seen possibly. definitely the most rockiness show with an acoustic guitar
This song is an instant classic. If there was any sense in the music industry it would have been played on the radio all the time and been a no. 1 single.
I've seen Frank quite a few times, but the best time was at Mosely Folk festival, where he was on a small stage in front of a few hundred people at the most. It was fucking amazing! It was an acoustic set that still sounded punk. His mate was on the Mandolin too. I went to rehab in 2019 and gave my Frank turner tickets to my mate, but then he took me down Moseley folk festival to see him in 2021.
After seeing Frank Turner live, I haven't stopped listening to him. I had 2 of his albums already, but never listened to them. Now, I listen to them all the time! Substitute is definitely his best.
No matter how much hate I get for this,I thank god for Rockband and supporting songs like this (and if School of Rock ever gets a sequel,the BETTER FUCKING BE ON THAT SOUNDTRACK!!)
Frank is fantastic! I first heard him in May when he opened for one of my favourite acts, the Joel Plaskett Emergency. I've been addicted to his songs ever since.
Agree, saw them in Düsseldorf. No idea how I could miss Frank Turner so far. This song is absolutely amazing. The lyrics are pure poetry. And finally the video shows my understanding of the perfect party - the dancing, the clothing style and the fun. So good.
BRILIANT! AWESOME! i mean the song might not be that amazing but the concept.. "rock'n'roll saved us" and stuff.. every musician should understand what is the real music and the history of it.
no matter how bad my day has been, this guy's music always makes me smile. i discovered this guy from hearing a song of his on radio 1, and since then, i got 3 of his albums and cann't stop listening.. new favourite artist!
Maybe we don't all have the same need to analyse and dissect what we're listening to. We like his music. And, having seen him in Truro a couple of weeks ago, we love his energy, his enthusiasm and the quality of his - and his band's- live performances. Why can't that be enough?
Your music has saved me in ways words can't express. You've been my favorite artist for almost three years now, and this Wednesday, I'm seeing you live for the first time at the Fillmore! I can't wait to see you and to experience you live. My sister and her husband have been to several of your concerts, (you even sat and had a whiskey with my brother in law), but this is my first time seeing you live. Thank you for coming to Denver
I discovered you on Bay Fest 2019. You performed amazingly: really passionate, classy, great vocals and adaptation to punk rock festival. Thank you for an awesome performance and this gorgeous song.
Now this is what I like. I'm sort of a punk rocker but I actually also listen to oldschool rock music like aerosmith, queen and the lot. But this just brings a smile to my face. This is so different than punk. It's still got energy it still has great lyrics but it's so positive. Just discovered this guy today and I really have to say thumbs up :D.
"I still believe
That everyone
Can find a song for every time they've lost
And every time they've won"
Yep.
Amazing lyrics. 😍
"So just remember folks were not just saving lives we're saving souls we're having fun. "
Music saves lives.

12 years late, but I can relate completely brother
🤣😂 the fact you think it ever wasn’t means you failed
I seriously can't stop listening to this. The lyrics, the music, his voice... It's all so good and makes this a truly awesome song.

thats pretty much the greatest compliment youve ever received.
Such a breath of freshair to actually hear some new good music because there is so much crap on the radio at the moment. This guy is awesome!
there's actually a whole lot of new good music out there ^^ you just have to stop listening to the radio :) but i get what you mean

Frank Turner = Genius
I feel like I'm just going to cry from start to finish when I see him again on Monday.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Aweeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssoooooooooommmmmmmmmeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!
Simple, Effective, Unpretentious and Uplifting. What more could anyone want from a song?
We are not just saving lives, we are saving souls and we are having fun! Wow, Frank you are really onto something here.
Frank Turner is King.
Thank God for real music!
Frank Turner is the bee's knees. I love him.
I'm literally in love with how he says 'hear ye' and 'come ye'.
Woodstock 2017 made me come here, amazing band, fell completely in love with frank 💕💕💞
the video shoot for this was the best afternoon of my life. Who wouldn't love being in a pub surrounded by other Frank fans?
Searched for sth else on Spotify and discovered Frank Turner, became a Fan instantly 👏💙🏴🔊🎼🎤🎸
Me!!! It’s amazing music right? Do you have a favourite?
Such an awesome back story and proof that class isn't inevitable. He saw the failings in this own "social class" before him and kicked it straight in the face.... lyrically.
fuk off it was bob
Same
My parents played frank in the car when i was young and I have been listening ever since
I love this song because the lyrics really do sum up why rock and roll has such a profound impact on people. It's just a perfect rock song in and of itself. It has a chipper tune, but you could still listen to it when your sad or angry. Good one.
He always looks like he's having loads of fun in his videos :D
I’m here to Ted Lasso trailer 😅😂 but I still believe in Frank❤ Happy Valentine’s Day 😍❤️🙌
if rock and roll doesn't save us all, then frank turner certainly will
Lyrics:
Hear ye, hear ye, friends and Romans, countrymen
Hear ye, hear ye, punks and skins and journeymen
Hear ye, hear ye, my sisters and my brethren
The time is coming near
Come ye, come ye, to soulless corporate circus tops
Come ye, come ye, to toilet circuit touring snobs
Come ye, come ye, to bedrooms, bars and bunker squats
The sound is ringing clear
Now who'd have thought that after all
Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all
Now who'd have thought that after all, it was rock 'n' roll
Hear ye, hear ye, now anybody could take this stage
Hear ye, hear ye, and make miracles for minimum wage
Hear ye, hear ye, these folk songs for the modern age
Will hold us in their arms
Right here, right now, Elvis brings his children home
Right here, right now, you never have to feel alone
Right here, right now, teenage kicks and gramophones
We hold them in our hearts
Now who'd have thought that after all
Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all
Now who'd have thought that after all, it was rock 'n' roll
And I still believe (I still believe) in the saints
Yeah, in Jerry Lee and in Johnny and all the greats
And I still believe (I still believe) in the sound
That has the power to raise a temple and tear it down
And I still believe (I still believe) in the need
For guitars and drums and desperate poetry
And I still believe (I still believe) that everyone
Can find a song for every time they've lost
And every time they've won
So just remember, folks, we're not just saving lives, we're saving souls
And we're having fun
And I still believe
Now who'd have thought that after all
Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all
Now who'd have thought that after all
Something so simple, something so small
Who'd have thought that after all, it's rock 'n' roll

This is rapidly becoming one of my favourite songs...he just won't stop getting better
frank turner restores my faith in humanity
Jammin. Frank Turner does it again.
TO THE TOP!
This is right up there with Prufrock, Long Live the Queen and Poetry. :D Long Live Frank. (Y) :)
i still believe in the sound that has the power to raise a temple and tear it down
Totally agree, seeing Frank live is somthing everyone should do in their lifetime.
Every time I'm feeling any level of depressed, I just listen to this man and his wonderful music and I become so happy. I would diagnose Frank Turner to people suffering with depression, that's how much I love this.
My word Frank you've done it again! Don't ever leave us!
First time here. His lyrics are great.
Hello 👋
Saw Frank and the band open up for Social Distortion in Modesto, CA last week -- fucking amazing. Should have been a co-headlined show. A song for the ages.
this is what I would believe it´s a Universal Song.
Minnesota Public Radio (89.3 The Current) brought me here!
Oh! And an appreciation for great music too!
My 6-year-old daughter has just proclaimed this to be her favourite song ever. Joy!!!
after listening to Frank i think we all still belive!!
Doesn't get any better than this
saw this dude in a small punk rock club that can hold maybe 200 people in oklahoma and it was the most rockiness show ive seen possibly. definitely the most rockiness show with an acoustic guitar

I went to rehab in 2019 and gave my Frank turner tickets to my mate, but then he took me down Moseley folk festival to see him in 2021.
I've watched and listened to this song so many times I've lost count!
Cannot wait till december to see this live again, it was amazing at Reading!
After seeing Frank Turner live, I haven't stopped listening to him. I had 2 of his albums already, but never listened to them. Now, I listen to them all the time! Substitute is definitely his best.
The power when this was performed live, Was Overwhelming!
Frank Turner is the greatest thing to ever happen to music. Why does no one know this man!?
Frank Turner rocked the house at the Corona Theatre in Montreal last weekend. ROCKED! Can't wait to see him again in concert next spring.
No matter how much hate I get for this,I thank god for Rockband and supporting songs like this (and if School of Rock ever gets a sequel,the BETTER FUCKING BE ON THAT SOUNDTRACK!!)
Love this song! Frank Turner is so awesome!
Me too absolutely amazing loved when he played photosynthesis and we sang along on the chorus.
I cannot express my love for Frank Turner in words.
This is absolute fluffing brilliance.
Saw these guys last night and I fell in love with their music.
This is my good mood song from the moment I heard it years ago!
Frank is fantastic! I first heard him in May when he opened for one of my favourite acts, the Joel Plaskett Emergency. I've been addicted to his songs ever since.
Agree, saw them in Düsseldorf. No idea how I could miss Frank Turner so far. This song is absolutely amazing. The lyrics are pure poetry. And finally the video shows my understanding of the perfect party - the dancing, the clothing style and the fun. So good.
This brings me to tears
This is music how it shoudl be. Not commercial but straight outta heart
Best kept secret in music... play it loud Frank, we'll follow!
Now who'd have thought, that after all, it was rock and roll.
Me too.
They were the best band of the night..
This song is my homepage.
THIS SONG RULES!!!!
Frank Turner Hard Core! Well done - back to form.
BRILIANT! AWESOME! i mean the song might not be that amazing but the concept.. "rock'n'roll saved us" and stuff.. every musician should understand what is the real music and the history of it.

Dustalk since I "liked" this I'm counting that as two likes
It is a pity to press the moment button if you have missed the moment.. :)

@@cloudsss83 And in honesty.... Four Simple Words........ I want to dance. I want lust and love and a smattering of that old time romance.
Saw him live in Dresden, he performed really well, nice live voice :)
no matter how bad my day has been, this guy's music always makes me smile. i discovered this guy from hearing a song of his on radio 1, and since then, i got 3 of his albums and cann't stop listening..

Briil bouncy song this was the first song by Frank and it's still one of the best!
Truth & beauty.
Maybe we don't all have the same need to analyse and dissect what we're listening to. We like his music. And, having seen him in Truro a couple of weeks ago, we love his energy, his enthusiasm and the quality of his - and his band's- live performances. Why can't that be enough?
amazing is an understatement
