I had a bad night. Couldn’t sleep, felt at the edge of a nervous breakdown and when I did sleep, I dreamed of having to walk a muddy path in Vietnam. I wanted to find somewhere safe before dawn but there were people following me. I wanted to get away or at least talk to them but they were angry at me, they wanted something but I couldn’t understand. Darkness was upon me and somehow I found myself once more in the night my grandma died. Alone, cold and numb. And then I woke up to this.
Being from Hull (where the Beautiful South originated) they were always a huge part of my childhood. My parents would play their songs in the car. I’ve been in the pub where the band used to hang out a couple of times. There are Beautiful South/Housemartins photos and lyrics all across the walls. This is a beautiful rendition, thank you 💙
Your cover is so much more earnest and heartfelt than the original (sorry, Beautiful South - you’re young guys and will get over it). Needed this sweet song from you , this morning, so much, Frank. It’s a beaut and will be in my head all day! 😊
Paul Heaton & David Rotheray would often match sad lyrics with upbeat tunes and vice-versa, so most of their songs are ripe for covering and rearranging, that's for sure... this version is just amazing in my book!

Hi Mr. Watkinson. If you'd be willing, I'd love to hear you cover "I love you" by Billie Eilish. I think your rendition would be beautiful, should you choose to do it. All my best ❤️
Thank you Mr. Frank, thank you
Effortlessly cool 👏
You have such a comforting voice and great taste in music💟 listening to you is the best part of my day.
When Frank covers your song, it's not your song anymore.... Excellent Frank!
i love this song, more than ice cream
That's love.
Brilliant cover... very very well done Frank - stunning! 👏👏😎😘

I really like the beautiful south especially the ballads.
@@FrankWatkinson Their originals are well written, and they produce some sweet pop songs, for sure! But I’m biased, love your renditions!
Paul Heaton & David Rotheray would often match sad lyrics with upbeat tunes and vice-versa, so most of their songs are ripe for covering and rearranging, that's for sure... this version is just amazing in my book!
so cute 🥺
❤
This is so beautiful! Thank you for introducing me to great songs! Do you make the guitar arrangements yourself?
I make them up as i go along lol.
@@FrankWatkinson it sounds so good! Would you mind sharing chords? Or keeping the guitar in the frame 😅🥺 I would love to learn!
