My father and I had a difficult relationship, and I barely spoke to him during the last year of his life. The day he died, I instinctively put this on while driving home from the hospital, and started crying so hard I nearly crashed. When giving his eulogy, I read out some of the lyrics. It still makes me leak when I listen to it. I wish we’d talked more.

When I was sixteen I cut myself a Mohawk, Because I wanted to walk the walk, And not just talk the talk, But it was a bit of a disaster because I did the sides with kitchen scissors, Because I didn’t have any clippers, And I didn’t want to use a beard-trimmer - I’d made that mistake before. When you got home you didn’t want to talk about what I’d done. You said I’d let you down, I’d fucked around, when I was only having fun. With the way that you’ve been lately, you’ve no right to scream and shout. You and I, we’ve got a lot that we need to talk about. What’s the point in making vows that you’re never going to keep?

We all have our own devices For handling mid-life crises - Usually involves a motorbike and Suspicious fashion decisions.

Yes you’ve let me down, you’ve fucked around, but I guess you were having fun. With the way that I’ve been lately, I’ve no right to scream and shout. You and I, we’ve got a lot that we need to talk about. You always told me Father’s Day was just another way Of selling Hallmark greeting cards Twenty Years of waking sleep, of lying through your teeth, Meant every Father’s Day spent wondering who the hell you are. What’s the point in us making vows that we’re never going to keep? I keep trying to keep you up, but you keep on falling asleep. And all the promises we made were painful and untrue, But for better or for worse, I am turning into y

It’s 4:54am and let me tell you, cutting your hair into a shitty mullet/mohawk/shaved sides abomination with a tiny eyebrow razor while listening to this just hits different, especially when you and your father have a strange distanced relationship where he’s too close to let go but too far to be on good terms with

Real good, son. Wudn't ain't got that country accent I'm normally used to, but I'm kinda "diggin'" it as the kids say. Or, "fancy" it as you Brit's say? "A" Plus, Frank!! Go!!

It’s not country music, it’s folk music. Country music is American folk music when you rip out its soul and replace it with hollow products

Are any Frank Turner songs TikTok trends? I would be surprised if that happened with any of his songs, given how different his music is from the typical TikTok "style".
