Frank Turner - "The Ballad Of Me & My Friends"

[@christiancox9614]

Love this song. Went to see Frank at the Ritz in 2016 and someone started a sing along after the show finished. Then the whole building erupted into singing along. It was awesome

[@tie2009]

I have looped this song 5 times now, and I think I'll give it another 5 before I'm done. It makes me feel older than I am, and even though others might gloom up the topic of being forgotten as we get old, he celebrates it.

[@TrashManForLife]

This really has to be my favourite Frank Turner song ever I love this man so much!

[@atticus999x]

I think his voice actually makes the song.. Reminds me of classic Against Me!

[@gilbertcantu5340]

atticus999x same 👍🤘🏻

[@jshields3257]

Reminds me of Brian Molko

[@jamesondrums7355]

At the end I hear him say "that was eight" which makes me think that's right when he started counting his performances and I was at show #2420 a few months back. Insane. You're an inspiration Frank. I love ya man

[@ChrisMo44]

"That was ace"...

[@jamesondrums7355]

@@ChrisMo44 Oh, it's Ace? Man I relistened and it still kinda sounds like eight, but it sounds like Ace also. Yet another misheard song lyric haha

Love this guy! Such an inspiration for my music x love light n peace x

[@timoshea207]

This song makes it seem ALMOST worth it to sell your soul, almost

[@alexrooin4172]

Everybody’s got themselves a plan, Everybody thinks they’ll be the man, including the girls. The musicians who lack the friends to form a band are singer-songwriters, The rest of us are DJ’s or official club photographers. And tonight I’m playing another Nambucca show, So I’m going through my phonebook, texting everyone I know, And I quite a few I don’t, whose numbers found their way into my phone, But they might come along anyway, you never really know. None of this is going anywhere - Pretty soon we’ll all be old, And no one left alive will really care About our glory days, when we sold our souls. But if you’re all about the destination, then take a fucking flight. We’re going nowhere slowly, but we’re seeing all the sights. And we’re definitely going to hell, But we’ll have all the best stories to tell. I'm definitely going to hell But I'll have all the best stories to tell.

No, he's right. It's club photographers.

[@jershwa9819]

[@TheTyronecus]

+Jersh Wa no you're wrong it's club.

[@Sydney3291]

I've always wondered what a nambucca show is, I thought the lyric was Non Booker. as in he's Playing another gig where he was either called up due to a drop in line up or just turned up and played

I don't think you flooded my subscriptions enough. Keep uploading

[@thematthatter673]

Outside of Frank, and a lot of folk rock, most of the music I listen to is progressive rock; bands like Dream Theater and Rush with 20 minute epics, and few songs under 7 minutes. This two and a half minute song has every bit as much impact as some of the 20+ minute suites I've heard. Amazing song.

[@onlyl0vecanburnme]

Awesome song!!

[@MrStupididy]

Gimme the album. Gimme

[@tarpster77]

For those new, this is from his 2007 album: Sleep is for the Week

[@LFCfan1993LFC]

I hate how people insult other people's spelling and grammar on a video of a song that quite frankly, doesn't deserve anything other than praise in the comment section.

[@Lulu-Tammy9275]

This song used to be my MySpace song 👵🏻

Trolled.

[@UncleJun50]

Would be brilliant if frank and ed sheeran did a song, and don't start on me, just what I think

[@killaphila666]

I know this comment is 7 years old and all, but that'd be sick. Can't say i ever jam ed sheeran lol but he's a good songwriter and seems like a quality dude for such a massive pop star.

[@UncleJun50]

@@killaphila666 to be honest mate I've completely changed my opinion on this now lol. Much as Ed's a great musician I haven't really been feeling his last few albums, and I don't know if those two on a track would really work but you never know I guess

[@killaphila666]

@@UncleJun50 you're probably right, i just enjoy seeing crazy collaborations that i never saw coming. Tbh, i completely slept on Frank Turner until recently but this was the song that instantly turned me into a fan. I get some early Against Me! vibes. What is his best album?

[@UncleJun50]

@@killaphila666 I feel ya, think that's where I was initially coming from when I made the comment just thought it's so unlikely but might work. For me, Frank's best album is Postive Songs For Negative People, one of my favourite albums of all time not a bad track on there
