Franks furious optimism is amazing - this song regularly brings me to tears 🤘🏻

[@imadetoday3393]

Furious optimism couldn't have put it better myself friend

[@parkerspupsters362]

Arthur w cheers mate 🤘🏻😊🤘🏻

[@TreespeakerOfTheLand]

I need some of his optimism, really. Let's see if I can make some myself :)

[@PetePierce]

Furious optimisum should be an album title.

[@mightymrmousempls]

I love Frank Turner so much but I always get so emotional during his music. A true genius.

[@flamingowilliams9664]

Frank Turner is a safe and warm place to rest.

[@football10376]

Criminally Underrated

[@besticanaffordantiques2565]

Such an uplifting song. If frank turner ever gets the chance to see this, I'd like him to know that his words move my whole heart. Preciate you, bud.

[@geral903]

Doesn't this sound like grown up punk rock? I mean I love my punk but I dig how this is so mellow but still maintains an edge.

[@mcitnoshharrington7270]

Years late but this exactly. Frank started in the standard punk scene and his music just kinda grew as he did evolving into this grown up punk and folk crossbreed thats beautiful and reflective. It deserves more credit

[@SeanMcNamara]

I like to call Frank's music "Angry Folk"

[@sunflowershine5160]

He sounds like the punk rockers kiddos at least they’re content

[@voodlandroamer4543]

Yes, yes it is

[@Nickgowans]

Folk punk, a bit of both. Fun stuff

[@amaisutcliffe9829]

Went to see BLink 182 at the barclaycard arena, had no idea who he was until he came on to support them and he was amazing, I'm a big fan

[@thaliapope9581]

I was going to see blink in Bournemouth but they had to cancel but frank put on a concert so at least I still got to see him

[@amandaphillipson4408]

What a great way to find him! I did it the other way round - bought the ticket for the support.

[@LauraOConnor312]

This discovery made my day. New favourite singer.

[@jimbass1664]

Ya could have told the rest of us! :-)

[@unpolicofgod]

Forgive me, someone, for I have sinned And I know not where I should begin And some days it feels like you just can't win No matter what you do or say. Things didn't kill me but I don't feel stronger Life is short but it feels much longer When you've lost that fight, yeah, you've lost that hunger To pull yourself through the day. But if ever I stray from the path I follow Take me down to the English Channel Throw me in where the water is shallow And then drag me on back to shore 'Cause love is free and life is cheap And as long as I've got me a place to sleep Some clothes on my back and some food to eat Then I can't ask for anything more So come on everybody sing it 1one, two, three, four We all have secrets that we hold inside The worst little things that you never confide And the worst one of all that you just can't hide Is that you're never quite as strong as you sound So I'm sorry baby, for the times I've hurt you Sorry friends, for the times I desert you Most days it feels like I don't deserve you And I wonder that you're all still around So if ever I stray from the path I follow Take me down to the English Channel Throw me in where the water is shallow And then drag me on back to shore 'Cause love is free and life is cheap As long as I've got me a place to sleep Some clothes on my back and some food to eat Then I can't ask for anything more So come on, everybody, sing it one, two, three, four Come on and join me in the water Swim for hope Sometimes it's hard to remember I couldn't do this on my own If ever I stray from the path I follow Take me down to the English Channel Throw me in where the water is shallow And then drag me on back to shore! 'Cause love is free and life is cheap As long as I've got me a place to sleep Some clothes on my back and some food to eat I can't ask for anything more I can't ask for anything more The path I chose isn't straight and narrow It wanders 'round like a drunken fellow Some days it's hard for me to follow But if you've got my back I'll go on. If you've got my back I'll go on.

[@dorusvanderplaats8240]

I love thuis song. Last show at Amsterdam Awesome

[@TreespeakerOfTheLand]

Dang, I wish I was there. I could have made it there, rock out and get back home in an eve... Also, didn't know this was a song about home :P

[@someone5895]

I remember loving this song as an optimistic energetic 19 year old. As a relatively successful but depressed 28 year old I'm trying to reconnect with that person I was 9 years ago. Take me down to the English channel.

[@lucialoaiza3982]

This is my favourite song, it makes me emotional

[@Jane6isAlive]

I love this song! The chorus is so catchy and simple, Just exactly how life should be.....wish it was this easy Frank. Love this song though, great to sing and dance to 🥰🙌🏻🥳😘

[@kennysteen]

Can't stop listening to all his albums! Shame it'll be a long time before he thinks about coming to Peru! Would be awesome!

[@jimbxbjones]

frank should do ALL the old million dead songs in this style. There's great lyrics in those songs that really need to be heard by everybody

[@tthings6686]

This is brilliant- let's start a petition!

[@averymagicalsheep1547]

this is an awesome song!

[@sarahhopkins3741]

New favourite song wow

I love this song ♥

[@xHOMEMADExVALENTINEx]

Effin LUV this song!

[@jackdixon4505]

This is worth more than it deserves

[@DrQuietyo]

This song makes me want to go back to where I grew up, go sit on the heathland and sit watching the English scenery.

[@LojahMusic]

Still one of my favorite artists!

[@alicewest292]

Im love this song xx

[@brendajennings15]

[@greensimplepark224]

I played this song at least 304 times and liked it 60 times

[@geral903]

Wow...amazing!!!

[@derfinsniter5185]

[@johnnyscifi]

[@010010ryan]

i dig it!!

[@JP1494]

[@ianimray7400]

Thank you

[@kevinwhite798]

Well this is just a great song

[@HarjotGrewal1]

god i love this...its so different from the norm

[@greensimplepark224]

sweet!!!

[@ZOZOzozo009]

I saw him live :O before social distortion in paradiso in amsterdam ^^

[@tiltonroadbirmingham1153]

I've played cricket on that beach with my kids. They have families of their own now, I miss those days

[@neilcarstairs6867]

Is it Bamburgh Castle in the background or am I completely in the wrong part of the country?

[@tiltonroadbirmingham1153]

@@neilcarstairs6867 It is Bamburgh, Northumberland an amazing county.

[@neilcarstairs6867]

@@tiltonroadbirmingham1153 Thanks for confirming, it is a beautiful part of the country. We were up that way on holiday for the first time this summer. I have seen this video plenty of times over the years but it was only yesterday that I thought 'I recognise that beach'

[@XxbanconandbeanxX]

it really amazes me this guy is on the same record label as bring me the horizon!!!!! luv both of them though

[@bfimbel]

I really liked his cover of Bad Religion's My Poor Friend Me. This is the first of his own music I have Heard, sounds good.

[@titankillerreviews5068]

I miss you jocelyn echo

[@frederickos1]

Looks like a decent beach break as well

[@crayon151]

@JustynShane definitely

[@sink009]

@crayon151 Well, sometime, I'd suggest you listen to it. Basically every single song is about something that has to do with life, whether about corruption of modern day, how country folk live, finding the one you love and treating him/her right, or whatever. The lyrics really have good meaning to them.

[@drummingmatt1993]

@sk8deadphil No, he comes from Winchester which is right at the bottom on the country, he has a southern accent. :D

[@TheOrangeRiff]

this homeless man needs to get a band and some shoes

[@junarchiong1058]

mike ness brought me to frank turner

[@GXXERGINGER]

I found Frank through a Mike Ness Interview ^_^

[@jammihoops]

fucking beautiful music

[@bfimbel]

@BrohareOG Will have to look him up, I get stuck on the same music for years at a time. Any suggestions for a starting point or just jump in?

[@BrohareOG]

@bfimbel lol he has like 5 amazing albums

[@jamesp4ano550]

2020? Olympics was good in 2012. Wish I was still 6

[@Kartel_0]

wow, just wow i dont like rock but... i think i now have the first rock song on my playlist

[@ashleylemke3642]

Respect.

[@kraycuppakarolla]

Well he is saying through me into the English Chanel where the water is shallow and he is in the shallow water.

[@MikeyStepp]

wow i subbed to this channel thinking this was a post-hardcore label or something... i was most definatly decieved lol... but if i liked this genre i would be sure to like it, its got good meaning

[@tabeccaletford408]

Everything about him is just gorgeous I love this song

[@BrohareOG]

@bfimbel Hmmmm honestly everything is good, could start with I am Disappeared which is off his new album.

[@bgkjake]

Is there a reason for the lyrics being different from the title? "If Ever I Stray" vs "If I Ever Stray"? It's a minor discrepancy, but I freaking love this song.

[@TheAztrozombie]

@NorthernBorderBoys same director

[@michaelsparrow3750]

i ve got u back

[@michaelsparrow3750]

u no my

[@ZOZOzozo009]

@henseplens haha hoezo ben je niet gegaan dan? het was echt geweldig ^^ maar Frank komt ook nog naar paradiso toch? of is hij al geweest ):

[@010010ryan]

omg he threw the guitar into the water :( i almost cried...........

[@sink009]

@crayon151 Have you never listened to country music before?

[@holitipu]

If Ever I Stray is the correct title to this song...just read about it in Frank's memoir

[@3bluemoonsinmyjansport]

@thesheepotato omigod sammee haha

[@connorp1995]

you can only like a video once...

[@taylorshelton8962]

This is a low count for such a great song.

[@henseplens]

@ZOZOzozo009 ahha nice! Wou dat ik daar bij was (:

[@bgkjake]

that's what I'm saying, the lyrics are "If Ever I Stray", but the title is "If I Ever Stray"?

[@crayon151]

@rhythmkeeper009 ee-noope

[@blonchie4724]

How come he never played his Gibson Hummingbird on this video? Oh yes, because he throws his guitar in the water!

[@crayon151]

@rhythmkeeper009 I'll look into it, that's probably why it's not in mainstream media cause meaning is probably the last thing, idiots look for in music

[@mentalfatal9727]

You’d think the record label would get the title right lol

[@jamesp4ano550]

2020. Yes

[@Kartel_0]

@stairwaytoheaven7729 how the hell should i know i dont listen to this kind of music lol

[@dean2930]

I’m about to go the English Channel. Alsa I have no one to pull me out.

[@Floydandsome]

This MV reminds me Wrong hole LOL

[@greensimplepark224]

@Starvingpuppies y would you

[@NorthernBorderBoys]

This Music Video Is Just Like Augustana - Boston.. Kinda

[@TheSamztar]

[@Floydandsome]

[@phillhartshorne2632]

Thanks to planet rock

[@TheSheepPotato]

i found this on a bring me the horizon video and i usually listen to that kind of heavy metal but i love this :D

[@crayon151]

a song that isn't about drugs or sex? Whaat? This one actually has a life message in it? Daa fudgee, thanks a lot american media for making me think idiotic drivel is the only type of music there is.

[@Jane6isAlive]

Very well said 😊👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻💪🏻🥰

[@theannieryan]

hes dressed like Han Solo

[@Insanenacho]

how is the chorus generic??? what is wrong with you?

[@standindarkness]

I like the instrumental parts of the verses, the chorus is epicly generic, overall a pretty good song nothing I'm really into though.

[@thenorthshore88]

The video and the song both rock...just not together....

[@Starvingpuppies]

@greensimplepark224 i disliked it on all 7 of my accounts

[@stairwaytoheaven7729]

@Vapetzi this isn't rock

[@metalli07]

Just awful.
