Never heard of him until my son’s band got in his upcoming tour. Doing my homework on who I’ll be listening to at the show and my word I love this music!!!!
The lyrics in the stretch from "I still believe in the saints, yeah in Jerry Lee and in Johnny and all the greats" to "so just remember folks, we're not just saving lives, we're saving souls and we're having fun" are some of the best I've ever come across. This song is a banger.
I STILL BELIEVE IN THE NEED FOR GUITAR AND DRUMS AND DESPERATE POETRY..................Does anyone else here? Does anyone else still believe in what this lyrics says? You have no idea how much I respect this man for making this kind of song. This lyrics gives me chills, and makes me still believe, even if it seems all hope is lost, that Elvis will bring his children home safely. If not anybody else, Rock'n'Roll did save me.......!!!!!!!
I hate people saying that certain beliefs are essential to being punk. Punk had one essential belief and that was "Don't let people tell you who to be or what to do. You are your own person and can do what you wish with your own life." This often resulted in a specific rebellious and anarchical perspective to life (mainly because of the surroundings). Punk is being who you are because you want to be. Not because you have to be. That's why there are so many brilliant DIFFERENT people in punk.
In my younger days you'd find me at Dead show or in a basement somewhere listening to punk rock. Saw (and heard) Frank Turner for the first time live when they were an opening act for another band. I felt like I was listening to a modern day version of The Clash. Rocked out harder than any of the kids that were there to see Panic at the Disco. They thought I was out of my mind but I had the time of my life as my daughter and her friends tried to distance themselves from me!
everytime i hear this it just provokes memories of Frank's performance at the Olympic Stadium moments before the official start of the opening ceremony. long live the legacy!
Just saw him live and Jesus what a performer! There isn't one song of his I've listened to and thought it was bad, that is incredible. He needs more recognition, and I'm shocked he isn't bigger than he is. I bet he will blow up after another amazing album.
Chris McDonald I saw him in Atlanta with FM about 7 years ago and have seen him at least 20x since. was also at the same Cleveland show since I live near there
Ha, I have a friend who became a fan of his just as quickly. We were driving around and I had Tape Deck Heart playing. She had to know who he was and a few hours later we had tickets to the concert playing the next week.
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. And 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 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?
Frank man, every sodding song you write will bring a tear to my eye, and no I'm not being melodramatic. From Photosynthesis to The Road, You have the bizarre effect... Please do not sell out like Green Day, Linkin Park, and all those artists you used to love back in the day. We love you as you are man, and that's clean, and independant.
I was so excited when I saw he was at the opening ceremony. He's such a wonderful musician, and beautiful lyricist, he deserved to be recognised like that. :)
I really love this song. It brings up the same feelings as the Ramones' "Do You Remember Rock N Roll Radio?" and Don MacLean's "American Pie." Wonderful (and nice video, too).
Every time someone comes here and says they found him through the Olympics, it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Any person who finds this man is lucky indeed, whether it was a few days ago or a few years ago, and seeing more people discover this music is just beautiful.
Early 2010:I first listen to Frank Turner, a small-time English singer-songwriter and fall in love Mid 2010:See Turner support Green Day, inspired to take up guitar. Late 2010:See Turner in Cambridge. Love it Mid 2011:Get England Keep My Bones. Love it Early 2012:Play I Still Believe to people on bus. They say he'll never go anywhere. Mid 2012:Turner plays the Olympics. People who insulted him now have I Still Believe on iPods But I don't care-coz I know I was loyal to Frank Long Live Frank!
Keep rockin Frank! One of my favorites. Had the chance to talk to him after one of his shows last fall, really cool guy. Wish I had seen the Olympic performance. It's nice when someone who's worked his ass off gets the chance to be heard by millions!
Incredible! Love his voice, his accent, the melody, the lyrics are beautiful!!, his voice deserve a another shout out, my god, where did this man come from. pure talent. :) "I still believe - I still believe - That everyone Can find a song for every time they've lost and every time they've won"
From time to time i stumble upon a song that hits me emotionally so freakin hard. This i one of them. No idea why. But here it is and i want to shake Frank Turner hand, look him in the eyes and just say `thank you`.
Frank Turner was the very first act I saw at the first Riot Fest I ever attended all the way back in 2012. I just saw Frank and the Sleeping Souls perform eleven years later at Riot Fest 2023, and brought a friend who had never been herself, and this was the first concert we saw at the fest. I feel like I passed on the torch.
So true. My cousin introduced me to your music just about 4 weeks ago and your the only person I listen to anymore I bought ever song you have on iTunes so if you have an new please put them on iTunes. Your the GREATEST I would pay big $'s to see you. Don't ever stop your my idol.
I had never heard of this guy until I saw him at Leeds Festival and he was absolutely amazing! So now I am going to listen to (and love) enough of his songs to be able to officially announce myself as a fan
im not having a go...i'm glad that he performed at the olympics and he is finally getting the recognition he deserves. i was annoyed at all of the comments saying "thumbs up if the olympics brought you here" I'm glad you have heard him and like him...
as I go through some rough treatments for MS I asked my dearest friends to refer a song to me to help me through this and one of my dearest sent me this, it makes so much sense! great song, great vibe, great musicality
Punks & Skins & Countrymen...Another Life Saved By Rock & Roll (I Know that's a Hudson Falcons Cross Reference but I'm Feeling This Tune In A Big Way, & Needed To Ad That Line From Lonely Girl)...Awesome Song! Thanks For Touching Me Frank.
I cant understand why this song is not in the radios (Spain). Is a really good tune! If it would be played on radio, im sure it will be nº1 in the chart
The thing about Frank is that even his B-Sides are amazing. Here's my favorites; Frank Turner - Balthazar Impressario (One of the finest songs ever written) Frank Turner - I Knew Prufrock Before he got famous (It just grows and grows) Frank Turner - Sunshine State Frank Turner - Pass It Along (Great guitar) Frank Turner - Thatcher Fucked the Kids (The message is crystal clear) Frank Turner - If I Ever stray (Come on!) Yeah, Frank Turner is amazing.
only heard this for the 1st time on radio other day. Though it might be razorlight. There so much crap around at present, it's awsome to hear there are some genuily talented people around.

going to see Frank soon, what's the name of your son's band?
@@orioles7023 The Bridge City Sinners !
That's awesome!
@@maryprophit1295i love them! That's awesome!

🐉😘🤣
Who cares how people discovered Frank? The important part is that more people are listening to his awesome music.
I STILL BELIEVE IN THE NEED FOR GUITAR AND DRUMS AND DESPERATE POETRY..................Does anyone else here? Does anyone else still believe in what this lyrics says?

10 years later, and still yes!
Yes yes yes
One of the best moments of my life: Getting a hug off Frank Turner
Moshing with him in Vienna two years ago ❤️
Raw, unsophisticated, genuine rock 'n' roll. Makes you feel good and a bit nostalgic.
Hope you are doing well brother. Spot on comment
Unsophisticated I highly doubt. Listen to the lyrics
Artists like Frank Turner deserve more respect ..
that is simply untrue.
First time I've heard this, you might be right about this...
I agree completely
No they don't
@@NarcoticDimension haha. I'm with you.
just saw Frank Turner in SF Ca last week. unbelievable show. new songs are awesome but this is the one that got my attention

Just saw Frank at Cabooze in Minneapolis. What a show! What a song! I still believe!
Here because on Season 3 of Ted Lasso! Opening lyrics lend themselves nicely to the March 15 premiere date. #idesofmarch
Well, if seeing is believing, I believe we’ve been seen.

If it only happened☹️
Frank cleans my toilet on a Sunday........"Beat that"..........He's a Classical music fanatic may I add.......So there ;)
2024 and STILL a banger 🔥
Never really heard of this guy. Saw him open for Flogging Molly in Cleveland on August 14th. I'm now a fan.
Me too, bro. Same venue and everything.
Chris McDonald I saw him in Atlanta with FM about 7 years ago and have seen him at least 20x since. was also at the same Cleveland show since I live near there

How could anyone not love this song? It has the beats, sounds and a good singer! I love this song sm

I just came across this song. BEAUTIFUL. PERFECT I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY ITS BEEN SO LONG SINCE IVE DISCOVERED something this special
GOSH!!! I LOVE LOVE the passion he puts into every word and the music he sings
Indeed!
Just discovered this song and it's already my #1 for 2024! FANTASTIC!!!
Frank man, every sodding song you write will bring a tear to my eye, and no I'm not being melodramatic. From Photosynthesis to The Road, You have the bizarre effect... Please do not sell out like Green Day, Linkin Park, and all those artists you used to love back in the day. We love you as you are man, and that's clean, and independant.
I was so excited when I saw he was at the opening ceremony. He's such a wonderful musician, and beautiful lyricist, he deserved to be recognised like that. :)
Never heard of him until yesterday. Got to admit, he's class! Great voice. Great lyrics. Great song. Get him famous!
I really love this song. It brings up the same feelings as the Ramones' "Do You Remember Rock N Roll Radio?" and Don MacLean's "American Pie." Wonderful (and nice video, too).
Such a perfect song... and video
Every time someone comes here and says they found him through the Olympics, it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Any person who finds this man is lucky indeed, whether it was a few days ago or a few years ago, and seeing more people discover this music is just beautiful.
I think we ought to not loose sight of the fact that this simply a love song for Music
Who else remembers how amazing it was to see frank at the Olympics opening ?
chris mardlin That was the first time I'd ever come across him, out of touch old fart that I am.
Enraged Potato yes!! I was actually so proud
What on earth? I didnt know about Frank back then...to youtube!
Had never heard of him before but got to see him at the technical rehearsal for the opening ceremony, was awesome!
Early 2010:I first listen to Frank Turner, a small-time English singer-songwriter and fall in love
Mid 2010:See Turner support Green Day, inspired to take up guitar.

But I don't care-coz I know I was loyal to Frank
Long Live Frank!

ah true rock and roll poetry paying homage to the poetic legacy of folk music and music at large so beautiful.
I've never been able to relate to a song as well as this before. Frank is truly a great poet.
i feel like frank turner is also one of the nicest people you would ever meet
Incredible! Love his voice, his accent, the melody, the lyrics are beautiful!!, his voice deserve a another shout out, my god, where did this man come from. pure talent. :)
"I still believe - I still believe -
That everyone
Can find a song for every time they've lost and every time they've won"
Channeling Strummer ... Well done, young man.
Heard this loads recently around the place, decide to look it up and its only got 457,944 views?? This song is waaay underrated!! x
Excellent, just what I needed on a day like today.
This is really good! First heard it on Absolute radio a couple of months ago and haven't stopped replaying it since!
Saw him at a music festival in Asbury Park. That song just blew me away. Seen him a few times since. Just love him.
I somehow never noticed any of this. Until I saw Frank at PRB this year and immediately became a fan.
I heard this on FNX in Boston, took me forever to find who did this song. Glad I did.
Songs save lives. Music saves souls. As long as there's something left of you to save, you're worth saving. Be kind to each other, my friends.
From time to time i stumble upon a song that hits me emotionally so freakin hard. This i one of them. No idea why. But here it is and i want to shake Frank Turner hand, look him in the eyes and just say `thank you`.
I don't know what it is, but this song really has a hold on my heart. Thankyou for the good music Frank Turner!
greg james played this on radio 1 today, so glad he did i'd never heard of Frank Turner before.

this song has been on youtube for like, 2 years and the music channels have just started playing it! get with the times TV! (;
Anyone find this song due to the Ted Lasso Season 3 in Feb 2023? If so check out the entire catalog! You will not regret it.
Thanks!
Lolol I found this on pandora back in the day😅
As a product of the 1950s, I can truly say this is a great tribute song.
Man, this is...That was...I don't have a word dude. Rock 'n Roll.
Dude slays me everytime. And I'm late to the party. But that build to the harmonica part is tears of joy. Every. Time.
You might think that you’re late to the party but at least you got here.
This clip had 25,000 hits on it when I liked it. Thanks to Social Distortion and Frank touring, making it big!!
saw them live at dropkick murpheys in march 2012. amazing bought both albums
This song is the perfect song. I'm in tears right now... Like for real. This is Beautiful.
WAAF in Boston...you will be missed more than you know
I will always remember this song as the theme song to that brilliant subversive Olympic opening ceremony. Well done Frank!
just heard this on 89.3 the current, love it...and im a hip-hop head
I’ve heard this great song at the University of Bolton Stadium a few times this year - finally I found it today!

I believe that Frank Turner is the best singer songwriter of all time.
The version of the video Frank uploaded can be watched in HD. Which is really how you should be watching this...
damn, i still remember 10 years ago the 13 year old me rocking to this every day
I cant understand why this song is not in the radios (Spain). Is a really good tune! If it would be played on radio, im sure it will be nº1 in the chart
I'm going to a concert soonish and am super excited!!!!!
Just saw them in Santa Cruz last night with Social D. :) I really enjoyed them!

The thing about Frank is that even his B-Sides are amazing. Here's my favorites;
Frank Turner - Balthazar Impressario (One of the finest songs ever written)
Frank Turner - I Knew Prufrock Before he got famous (It just grows and grows)
Frank Turner - Sunshine State
Frank Turner - Pass It Along (Great guitar)
Frank Turner - Thatcher Fucked the Kids (The message is crystal clear)
Frank Turner - If I Ever stray (Come on!)
Yeah, Frank Turner is amazing.
Just rocked out with Frank Turner and The Sleeping Souls like an hour ago and it was just amazing
Olympics brought me here, not ashamed that I didn't know him before, Just grateful that I got to here his awesome music.
Yesterday in Milan with the Dropkick Murphys. Awesome^2!
When I went to Leeds Festival, I hadnt really herd his music. Now im obessed
Saw him in Asbury Park. Blown away. Rock and roll. Making miracles for minimum wage. Oh baby.
Just saw them last night at The Murat, opening for Dropkick Murphys......have to admit that I enjoyed them a lot more than dropkick....amazing band
only heard this for the 1st time on radio other day. Though it might be razorlight. There so much crap around at present, it's awsome to hear there are some genuily talented people around.
How this hasn't got millions and millions of hits who knows?
Best band in Fonofest for show!
Just love it, keep it up and see you next time in Latvia
Yesterday in Zurich with the Dropkick Murphys. Awesome!
