Nothing else matters. A Metallica song.

[@AngryCanadianBacon]

Hey Frank. I have been a follower of your covers for like a few months. My dad passed away recently and I did not know how to deal with the sorrow of losing him. I was taking care of him until is last breath. This cover of yours opened something because I finally started crying. Thanks Frank. Take care and rock on.

[@FrankWatkinson]

It's never good to hold back tears. You will feel much better now .

[@willywood6508]

Yeah he smacked me like that with his cigar box song.

[@kellyb5782]

Hey Frank, I know this is a very odd request but could you try “Highlands (Song of Ascent” by Benjamin Hastings? It’s my favorite worship song and really my favorite song overall. It speaks to me so much about having hope no matter the circumstances, and I think would be a great motivation to other Christian subscribers on your channel!

[@rickhubanks6722]

If you need a good cry. Listen to Frank's "I will follow you into the dark."

[@brianstone6463]

My father is 85, born in Los Angeles in 1938, and my worst fear is not being with him at the end. It could happen any day, but he's a world away. It would take me two solid days to reach him by the fastest transport we have, but there's barely an hour that goes by that I don't think about him. So, cheers to your memories, and cheers to all great dads in the world who've inspired the next generation of great sons and daughters. I honestly can't think of a better tribute. I tear up every time I think about him.

Nothing else matters when Frank grabs his guitar and starts velching a piece of audible heaven. Respect and greetings from gloomy California.

[@DavidRamos-sr8cx]

I can’t believe this is the fist time he’s done this. It’s a classic with many people. When Metallica went commercial. ❤

"I'm no guitarist" - Frank Watkinson. But a legend in your own right. You touch the hearts of so many, thank you for what you do.

[@301smokey]

I was scared to click on this one. This song hits really heavily for me. My amazing mother who pretty much raised myself, my brother, and sister had this as her favorite song. She had requested at her passing to have this song played at her funeral. When this song comes on I can't help but break down. She had passed away at home, and I had found her. Immediately as the EMS were arriving, I had played that song on my phone because I know its what she would have wanted. Such a powerful song to me. As humans, especially men, we are told to move on so quickly, and life never stops. When I put this 8 minute video on I took that time to stop and experience this emotion with you. Frank thank you so much for what you do. So much love for you and what you do.

[@relaxingsoundsofnature2022]

Sorry for your loss.... a great mom if this was her fav song...

[@storeshobbysvin12]

I was today years old when I discovered this awsome guy.. Damn..

[@PSBEadventures]

KZbin randomly suggested this video to me. You know, out of a million videos I could have clicked on, sometimes the stars align and just tell you to go on, click it. I'm so glad I did. As someone that's listened to Metallica since their debut album in '81, I thought this was fantastic man. Had a bit of a rough patch lately, nothing bad, just a bit, but man did this brighten the day!! Glad I found this channel and I'll be subscribing!!! Thanks for doing this one Frank!

[@shawnreap]

The changes are what makes it a cover and not just a recital. Loved it.

[@tonicooke204]

I’ve fallen head over heels for this man in 2 covers!

[@furthurdead81]

I can hear this on a TV show or in a movie! It's hauntingly beautiful.

[@BoarhideGaming]

Frank, what a beautiful performance, man. Your voice is like worn-in leather slippers. The kind you dig out of the shoe cupboard every year on that first day of autumn when your feet just can't stand the cold anymore. The homely kind that makes you go "aaaah" after putting them on. Intro or no, this was beautiful, and I thank you for it.

[@yoellcall]

Just brilliant. Love from NZ

[@sarumanork-orphanage5612]

This is seriously underappreciated! It's so earnest! To this day I thought covers on KZbin divide into two categories - 1) people with incredible talent who do music as professional career and then adapt the song to whichever style they do in concerts etc. 2) people with more credible talent who make a career out of putting these on KZbin, because their physique lends itself to pretty thumbnails appearently there is also a third category - 3) people with talent who can put a whole different level of emotion and empathy in these songs because they were afforded a long life, and though this group can't reasonable compete with the thumbnails of group 2), they more than level the playing field when it comes to the actual audio.

[@aida7198]

The type of beautiful music you hear in your head staring up at the stars in the forrest wondering if life could ever be more beautiful...

[@danp3me]

Great Frank, I'm glad you decided to give it a go. Thank you! And of course, I was going to make it to the end, no excuses asked, just glad you talked with us, and your joke cadence always gets my laugh. Miles apart, similar hearts. HugS

[@michael_rodgers]

It took me a minute to work out what was different. I don't think I have ever heard this in 4 4 timing before. I didn't think 4 4 would be this beautiful. Well done Frank. The honesty of your delivery is amazing. Thanks Frank

There's something so touching about this pacing. I think it's gorgeous, and I think they would too. It's taking the song and giving it a new weight in a way, REALLY highlighting the lyrics.
