"Driven by the irony that only being shackled to the road can ever I be free" If there was ever a song lyric that spoke to me...

[@RICHARDGRANNON]

Travel addict anthem. "Ever since my childhood I've been scared, I've been afraid, of being trapped by circumstance, of staying in one place, and so I always keep a small bag full of clothes carefully stored, somewhere secret, somewhere safe, somewhere close to the door."

[@ineinerbank]

everytime he says "i drank with drifters in vienna" i remember how he bought me a beer after his first show in austria. i'm not drifting, though. still, one day the kindness will be repaid.

[@UncleJun50]

LISTEN UP GUYS: This video isn't that far away! We need to get this to 1,000,000 views! Get this man what he deserves!!!

[@jbsafc]

Saw him twice in one day at Leeds Fest. On the Lock Up Stage I was three rows back and sang my heart out to every song, and it was fucking beautiful. He's such a legend is Frank.

[@AS-xq5lz]

Unbelievable. untucking believable. You did it. Frank did it. OMFG

[@ilikecereal22]

This was played at a friends funeral recently. Thank you for the memories. Miss you more each day x

[@skawannabe]

Does watching this video make anyone wish it was summer again and we were all sitting outside in a t shirt, beer in hand, listening to some (amazing) live music? Just a thought.

[@MrsLepetit]

4:10 The best smile ever Mr Turner :) Keep smiling... xx

[@j0hello]

Wembley, supporting Green Day...he sang this one. F---ing 'A'. Love this song!

[@Darthlexus1]

saw frank turner in reading this weekend, i have to say he was one of the best performances i saw, this guy is awsome, and how he got us all to sit down, funny stuff, he is one i would recommend :)

[@ConfusedRobotStudios]

I had never heard of him until I saw him with Flogging Molly in Norfolk, VA. Frank Turner is now one of my favorite musicians and a personal hero

[@PyrateCaptain]

I saw Frank open for Flogging Molly in Charlotte. And in typical Flogging Molly fashion, they always have amazing opening acts. I'm definitely grabbing some of Frank's stuff next chance I get.

[@porcuvietnamez]

Thank you, Radio Guerilla for giving me the opportynity to discover Frank Turner ! Please, Frank, come in Roumania too ! Me and my friends will surelly come to sing your songs :D !! Keep up the good work !

[@BCRichShredder]

I had the luck of being at that same show. Flogging Molly was awesome, and so was Frank.

[@AmandaCottreau]

Great set at the Ottawa Folk Festival...thanks for not minding my novice tambourine playing! - Amanda Cottreau

[@MrSmithers1980]

This song has kept me awake at night the last 2 weeks. Every time I'm about to drop off I start singing the chorus. I'd laugh, but I'm too tired. I'd hate it, but he video makes me wish I was there at all the house parties! guess I'm just going to have to continue not sleeping!

[@snowbind]

'have' Anyway I am ashamed to say I have just discovered Frank Turner, but he is fucking excellent. This song has been stuck in my head for days. It's awesome to know someone can articulate how I feel. Keep up the good work.

[@robertsreeses]

The look on his face! 4:17 - the last guy in the last two seconds. Hilarious... great video

[@AydenAitken]

frank turner is awesome. love his music. saw him at a tiny festival called Kendal Calling not long ago. was ace

[@ToXxxxKapp]

Just cant stop hitting that freaking Replay button ;)

[@laura917]

Saw him at Leeds. What a beautiful beautiful man.

[@bulletkid0607]

This guy is such an inspiration, thumbs up if you agree

[@cornelsamoila]

How I lived my life without knowing about this song? Absolutely gorgeous.perfect.

[@chrisisbrilliant]

Anyone else think that Mr. Turner looks like 'Brett' of Flight of the Conchords? oh brilliant video and song btw! love it!

[@17473039]

Too much publicity can ruin an artist but i agree the world would be a much better place if everyone listened to frankie t, art is meant to be spread

[@Firv90]

Frank Turner bei Area4: Mit gigantischem Abstand der beste Auftritt am ganzen Vormittag!!! Einfach unglaublich wunderbar, der Kerl :-).

[@Sorentoischill]

Thank you Catalina for showing me this video! and Frank Turner for that matter

[@HDsmall92]

seen him 3 times, roundhouse, itunes fest and at reading fest this year, and he seems to get better every time

[@leonschiffmann6621]

Amazing Song on SouthSide Festival (Germany) Just Amazing !!!

[@BoablesO]

there arent words for this man! he is best described through feelings and i feel alot for this man (no homo)

[@TheLadyFrodo]

he has the most amazing smile.

[@doddlecuddle]

Holy Crap I've been looking for this song for about 2 years after I just randomly heard it! Success at last

[@heskey21]

there just isnt another singer/ songwriter in the world who even comes close to frank, been a fan since million dead, was a bit sceptical about him going solo and acoustic but its just fucking amazing COME AND PLAY A SHOW IN ESSEX FRANK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ansleygrace]

Same here. Just saw him with flogging Molly Tuesday in Orlando and it was awesome.

[@MrBoomanu]

I can't wait till he gets to London, i booked tickets to see him at wembley. Can't wait :DDDDDD

[@clairekelly8635]

This is Frank Turner - I don't doubt for one second that he actually did this, what a legend!!!!

[@TheMegaClaude]

Saw him in Cornwall on Friday night. Unforgettable.

[@TonyScacchi]

40 people do not know what music truly is.

[@flowindown]

Saw Frank in Madison, WI two nights ago on the last stop of his American tour! Totally AWESOME!!!

[@Jcop42]

Where the hell have I heard this before? It's killing me!

[@RottonboneGaming]

See Frank Turner doesn't only create great music he creates journeys :D

[@nou432]

Saw you at Groezrock. You've earned yourself some lifelong fans there! You were absolutely fantastic!

[@006sick]

I've just discovered him, and oh my God! he's a great composer! He really got inside of my hearth, what a great vibe, just don't know what to write... he's great!

[@thetreepunk]

Thank You Mr. Turner

[@melisawr]

The fact that Banquet Records is mentioned in this video makes me sosososo happy!

[@matt122285]

By far the most chill and down to earth person i ever met. Best Halloween show at the house of blues in ALC bro. We love you.

[@missbushbaby2661]

Nearly a year later and I still listen to this song everyday and miss you terribly :( xxx Rest in piece mate x

[@FelicianB]

Saw him at Wembley on 19. June supporting Green Day! Awesome!

[@broomeydbr9]

Went to Leeds fest this year for the first time and I am so glad I did because it introduced me to this amazing man

[@sam28810]

Fell in love with his music from the 1st time I listened to it. See you at Pukkelpop 2011, I'll be in the front row cheering at you !!

[@MrFireflyphotography]

im at the manchester show in match. this man is a hero. having a frank turner tatoo very soon!

[@Sequitur213]

saw this on a peace corps documentary. As soon as this song is finished I'm picking up my ukulele and walking. When I'm done walking I'm going to sit down and play.

[@SuperHarhoura]

This song seriously pumps me up.

[@TwitchyBrewz]

Come to the US frank! we need you!

[@dimestoresaint7]

First Frank tune I ever heard nearly three years ago. Never turned back. Thanks Frank!

[@thepriceofreality]

i agree, he is. doesn't make him a "sell out". everyone has career aspirations. nothing wrong with signing to a larger label (epitaph) and in the process making your music accessible to a wider audience is there? why did someone neg my original comment? i'm not saying frank's a sell out!

[@theenemylines]

Frank, i have just bought your new album and i can`t wait to receive it and listen to your new songs... Come to Spain !!!!!

[@ilikefluffycow]

Just saw him in Atlanta with Flogging Molly, and it was amazing! He sounds a helluvalot better live though

[@helfix]

Thank you so much, Frank. This song has made me finally get my arse into gear and start making serious plans for my road trip. 3 months through Africa, here I come!

[@aidenhare]

I was there also very good turn out for him was glad so many people came

[@myp3tmonster]

It takes a special talent to do what this man does with just words and a guitar. Frank you are a true legend it was a pleasure seeing you live earlier this year! Look forward to next time.

[@OrlaDas]

can't stop listening to this can't wait to see him at leeds.

[@MorellaDeville]

I could not want to be there any more than I currently do.

[@infinitepossibility]

And I've driven across deserts driven by the irony That only being shackled to the road could ever I be free That is an amazing lyric, and overall an amazing song!

[@Chaoscraig354]

this guy deserves way more publicity (however you spell it) He is way more talented then most artists in the charts today.

[@conraydo]

this one, i am disappeared and wanderlust were the first original songs by frank i knew and still are my favorites

[@Fatmonger]

Excellent song, love frank turner

[@badewannenmeister]

this is one of the most refreshingly new videos that i ve seen in a LONG while! love it

[@WardyLion]

I was shown this by a friend and I can honestly say, on this song alone, that if you don't make it HUGE I will set out to single-handedly destroy the entire music industry! This song, aside from being f**king brilliant, also rings true with me because I am someone who relishes being on the road and this song is definately going on my next "Driving Tunes" CD! Wardy

[@tommyarmstrong1]

FRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome Mate - WELL DONE!! Tommy

[@USDTHrONE2007]

from house shows to an arena tour so proud of you frank supported you all the way

[@mattg109]

Oriental guys face @ 4:17 :D. Oh and frank i hope your going to be as amazing at reading this year as you were last year!

[@ilikecereal22]

Yeah, it was lovely to see how many people whos lives he touched. x Really miss talking to him x

[@MrJonnyoulton]

I will be seeing you my friend at leeds fest! In my superman costuem, a beer in my hand and with mates this is what summers are all about.

[@HairyFeetProductions]

Not many people can pull off a song about being on the road as well as Frank Turner and I can honestly say I have never seen a more "honest" artist. Lot's of people claim to tell it how it is but no one does it better than FT. Well done man, you were awesome at Reading!

[@marklgz1982]

Stumbled across Frank after hearing The Road on XFM, loved it straight away and now loving all his songs!!

[@thomasr.3523]

the last part, beginning with "I face the horizon" is just epic!

[@MRockville301]

I always forget about it until I watch the video again. that kids face is so good!

[@BlinJe]

so glad to have been there for this!! =]

[@GogsDavies]

just got my ticket to him play Leeds in October!!! Can't wait

[@excel04]

Can't remember the last time a song resonated with me so much. Just got back from travelling and its taking a great deal of effort to not just up and go again. Nearly turned round in the airport. Life flows and is so extraordinarily simple when you are moving. More concerned with being and less concerned with doing. God these feet are itching! At least I am focused now - get back out to the road asap! Really loving your work. Look forward to seeing you live some time

[@timemaker321]

I just got back from Reading today! Absolutely amazing live

[@joseleSpain]

I saw him yesterday along with Social Distortion. What a great show by both :)

[@visualkeisu]

frank always look so happy^^

[@TheTriple19]

Heard this on the radio several years ago, and it's been stick in my head ever scince

[@Ollewog]

Just heard this on Radio 1 and immediately had to hear it again! It's brilliant!!

[@MissFunkuh]

Groezrock is gonna be legendary :)next to frank turner, (black) flag, rise against, pennywise, bad religion, billy talent, hatebreed, the ataris, joey cape, russ rankin, pulley and so much more!! Best festival for sure

[@nuttyboy11]

Another top tune FT.........

[@RockinRachy16]

Banquet Records is amazing :P Along with Frank Turner

[@Nickyy182]

I saw him at Hurricane! He was amazing!

[@hislittlelife]

Well done at Blissfields Frank, best act there!

[@cr4zyd4n666]

Frank Turner are awesome :)

[@Mccampbellthomas]

nice to hear a song about traveling as much as you can again i don't know about driving but i imagine hitchhiking is close enough

[@DezzaLC]

Saw him at Leeds festival yesterday, and I'm hooked! I hope I will see you live again :)

[@Dukeicon]

I'm going!! Should be awesome. He has been every other time that I've seen him! =D See you there!

[@witheringsun]

@HDsmall92 I was at reading..... Best gig of the festival, best gig of my life.

[@mattg109]

This song got everyone going at reading festival. Frank was amazing at reading fest!! Put it this way, about 20000 sat down because he told us to.

[@PaulWilliamGibson]

The girl in the flowery dress at 1.03 is also in the Try This At Home video (I think, looks just like her!)

[@DrasticEvasion]

4:19 that guy is lovinggg ittttt
