Frank Turner Reasons not to be an idiot

[ownagepie24]

"She's all wrapped up in her invisible llama."

[Singsonggirl]

It's not a lovely sunny day, on the contrary, it's pissing down and freezing, but I'm going outside anyway! Thanks Frank for blowing my self-pitying away!

[randomchild81]

"He's not as clever as he likes to think, he's just ambitious with his arguing" Sounds EXACTLY like one of my mates.

[DontBeADingBat420]

would be great advise if it was sunny outside :P

[T1KK3S]

Awesome

[amrfts]

0.22 so this is what bieng on lsd would feel like

[skrawnykid100]

i think this video is better for the song than the newer one, this one goes with the song more

[ThisIsWater7]

I don't think thats the real Frank Turner. I think we've been duped.

[ahhhnooo1]

I think Frank turner should be a poet not a musician, his lyrics are very clever, but the music is shite.

[BHastronomer]

@ahhhnooo1 Or a lyricist?

[panzera101]

@BHastronomer no the point I am making is his words are so active, personal, they make a statement, it just doesn't fit with music, it would work a shit tip better in poetry.

[ImogenBurton1999]

he looks like his puppet thing, is that good? :/

[MichaelJohnston17]

She's not as pretty as she thinks she is, just picture her after she's had kids!

[deliciousdazmo]

Love your videos, I subscribed . My puppets want to say hello.

[BassInYoFayce]

love how he isn't just insulting other people like some songs, amazing voice :D

[The1stEpicFace]

frank turner is the best alternitive lead singer, thumbs up if you agree!

[Asalamalika]

Lyrically speaking, frank is always great but this is far less than his best.

[circesprophecy]

Playing at Ignition Festival in Newcastle, August 6th and 7th.

Weekend tickets £45 with Promo Code SELF10

[dlwatso15]

How can people dislike this? They must be afraid of the sun, or happiness.

[Mayhem2111]

invisibvle llama? wtf! oh! armour :)

[heinzie5]

winchester is well posh

[CarbonatedRain]

@heinzie5 It really is, I live there. But with musicians like Frank Turner coming from here, we're forgiven.

[heinzie5]

@CarbonatedRain i used to work in the post office in wh smiths. the locals hated us for being strange and new xD

[COSMICxORGASM]

That mask is tripping me out

[Georgeminhinnick]

He simply sings about what he knows and what he see's around him. And he is popular because his thoughts and views are shared by many. Another example would be Billy Bragg. Yes these men are both politically charged to a certain extent, but that is not to say that if one is not of the same political stance they can not enjoy the music. Sing loud and honestly, and people will listen.

[randomchild81]

@Georgeminhinnick Wow, Frank Turner and Billy Bragg in the same comment-this needs 1,000,000 thumbs up! :)

[anmaree]

Frank Turner is one of the few sincere and genuine songwriters left.There's nothing worse than forced originality, forced irony, complexity for complexity's sake. Those musicians have nothing to say other than 'look at me, I'm a musician'.

[littleredgrrrl]

sums up my adolescense lel.

[DFCSarah]

Love this :)

[lauzarpugh]

Sod facebook and all this computer shiz, in the words of a wise man I am going to 'Get up, get down and get outside' :)

[heyguy1231]

i have never heard such cringeworthy, vacuous lyrics before. it's like i'm in the matrix and there's been a massive glitch.

[Radolumbo]

@heyguy1231 What are you even talking about, bro? It's just a simple, love yourself and enjoy life message. How is that cringeworthy or vacuous?

[sugarydonkey]

@Radolumbo You answered your own question there buddy. All we need is love, right? Yeah, right.

[heyguy1231]

here's a reason: you'd write a song like this

[drump1ayer]

This song never fails to put me in a good mood :)

[moxuh]

Cos it's a lovely sunny day

But you hide yourself away

You've only got yourself to blame

Get up and get down and get outside

when I hear those words, it really makes me wanna go outside! and have f*cking great time

[rickykmusic]

awesome song

[joemccorriston]

Would help if you played the song correct;y in sync to the track haha, capo on 2nd fret.

[pooflanger]

i wonder how the mouth moves

[TheElephant79]

Frank Turner says it.

[meddeyc]

Frank Turner, you sir are as awesome as this song makes out.

[Heresathought]

Honestly, Frank Turner is probably the only worthwhile artist i've ever discovered through Kerrang. So glad I decided to pick up that issue.

[TehNoobOz]

@Heresathought wow! how did he get into kerrang this music and that music on kerrang are completly different! :o

[Oatibixi]

I do like this song. :)

[walker89]

"i'm building bonfires on my vanities and doubts, to keep warm just like everybody else." truly inspired lyrics, gets me every time!

[XxPELICAN999xX]

He was incredible at reading!!!

[mattagan]

@XxPELICAN999xX I heard he was good at Maths too!!

[IrishTizzy55]

literally just spent about 3 hours searching for this song as i had forgotten the name and artist....worth every second!

[777kaia]

I need a repeat button for this sons

[charleswindsor1]

This was the first Frank Turner song and video i saw that was about two years ago and now im going to see him in a couple of weeks in Exeter :)

[luckybear54]

Occasionally ya get kinda wrapped up in your own depression, Wake up, Go out get out of it. The solution to the worst feelings ever is so simple its sounds ludicrous

[INBREDFISHDOTCOM]

@bonchasilark just try and go to partys meet your friends friends or organise stuff :) it worked for me but remember you dont need loands of friends you only need a few good ones xxx

[bonchasilark]

What about if you appreciate life, but you have barely any fucking friends? Kind of sucks going out then ):

[lulabell0]

lol at the dudes badge thats says "i am the real frank turner"

[a7xwoohoo]

I love the meaning to this this song, I can totally relate.

[snakester851]

Great Fuckin Song!!!

[ihavemonkeysinmybutt]

after the music video ends the girl and Frank Turner make sweet sweet passionate love and Frank Turner cums all over her breastices and fills her pussy and anus to the brim with cum.

[MrsRabbitheart]

WORD!

[JBD2k9]

I LOVE Frank Turner and stuff, but "Imagine her after she's had kids"...

Bad line.

[monkeygoose007]

does any one know the song with lyrics "hes the last romantic poet"

[wtfomgbbq4]

@monkeygoose007 i knew prufrock before he got famous. the line goes "if justin is the last great romantic poet, then he's the only one among us who is ever gonna make it." :)

[monkeygoose007]

@wtfomgbbq4 thank you.

[cementhead31]

@monkeygoose007 i knew prufock before he got famous

[thehaikuband]

The puppet is very striking. We saw Frank when he was just starting out on the solo thing, a great performer and nice guy.

[feather465]

i want an invisible lama lol

i no its armour but its fun to believe

[rockguru123]

@feather465 I aways think it's that too! :D

[mightyPants]

I actually prefer this video to the one with the real frank in it :)

[danimacXD]

frank turner's songs are my bible.

[TreeHunters1]

love this guy saw him supporting greenday and he was amazing!!!!!

[SnapShotSkater]

Seen these guys supporting Green Day at Manchester on Wednesday. They were actually awesome. Really feel good music (y)

[cazmo222]

gave me goosebumps :) never listened to him properly, seeing him with green day in 1 week :D

[CharvakaJim]

Awesome stuff. Frank Turner needs to be more well-known. This is quality.

[KindaTrue]

I love Turner, and this song, but MAN. Not a remotely decent video.

Guy really phoned this one in.

[Mavarik]

lama?

[TE22ER]

Anyone else think this video's cooler than the new one? I mean, they should have remade this one with Frank in it, the new one sucks. Better sound quality on the video though, so I guess I'll have to watch that one :(

[TheDuckielova]

@TE22ER I really like the new one with the director guy, it made me laugh, this one just makes me stare...

[madball1788]

love :-*

[UkuLani672]

*Listening TO this, I meant to say!

[UkuLani672]

Listening this on a lovely sunny day, stuck inside doing an essay...

[TheDuckielova]

@UkuLani672 i know how that feels...

[charmedmatzzie]

going to see this dude next week :) looking forward to it... note to self bring belleblaas hahah

[garethdesperados]

Love the song! You can just imagine listening to it on a hot summer's day with a bbq on the go and a drink in your hand.... much like a lot of his other stuff too

[Mercutioswrath]

I have to say that his was my favorite song of his when I saw him in concert.

[EvanMott1]

the way i look at this song is that some times you just look at other songs with more "complex" meanings then you listen to this. it makes me say "you know what fuck metaphors for once".

[kiwikizaable]

I love him and his songs have meaning. if u dont think so for this song then thats ur opinion and ur obvs into other artists maybe...

[maringal44]

a man and his guitar is right. doesn't have to be any more complex than that. this song is clever. and frankly (no pun intended) clearly you haven't listened to his other stuff.

[43211mike]

i agree with gonzokingdom.. not a bad song but far too clean and generic.. and im sorry to say but the lyrics are far from perfect,

not saying its bad i mean its nice to listen to

[gOnZoKiNgDoM]

It's ok. Alittle to clean for me to be honest. It's very un-original and really isn't anything special at all. I mean it's nice like a sunny day is nice. But how many have we really seen?

[abstractmiKe]

You obviously lack appreciation for the simple things in life that are taken for granted. Sit back and enjoy the ride, if not go look at music you like and leave Frank Turner to us yeah?

[mattbmt]

i second that one of the greatest lyrical artists around at the moment photosynthesis legendary tune

[gijsjaradijsja]

if he's not special, who did see this 237168 times? Check out his accoustic songs, without the band, you'll see why

[GirthyTrees]

Hey Guys, if you've got a spare three minutes please listen to this;

Chris MacD - Revelling in Revelations

Just one man and his guitar.

Enjoy. . . . and any feedback would be appriciated!

[trancedsailor]

this and Worse Things Happen At Sea are his best songs

[bigbillhyde]

This song makes me want to die from natural causes.

[kill3RDuckii3]

luved it after i heard it in waterloo road :D

[IfoundNemo12]

me toooo :)

[MangoCandyfloss]

I love this song, It was on waterloo road O.e"

[tjCobain]

Thats how I found it!! :)

[SayingNo]

how could he go from million dead to this

[mooghead]

What do you mean? Good to bad or bad to good? This shits on Million Dead.

[SayingNo]

Good to bad. Clearly. Million Dead shits on this. Sorry.

[mightyPants]

@SayingNo

People grow up. How can you compare the two when it's not even intended to be the same thing.

[DoPeopleEvenReadThis]

@richeylikesrock

ok, thanks anyways

i just put a screenshot on twitter, now i just need to wait....

[DoPeopleEvenReadThis]

@richeyllikesrock

i don't think it is. from looking at the logo on the headstock @ 1:06

[RosieM408]

Saw him at Union Chapel last night. I went to church and saw God. This man is a legend. My favourite song of the year.

[DoPeopleEvenReadThis]

does anyone know what make that guitar is?

thanks in advance

[peacnn]

munich was sooo great

[arnoldlayne1991]

am i the only person who finds this fake head rather creepy?

[mimiscuel]

good song though

[arnoldlayne1991]

great song

[katieshxc]

lol i was just thinking the same thing!

[arnoldlayne1991]

you wouldn't want to meet it on a dark night would you

[kaaekuahiwi32]

I just saw him last night. He truly is great!! DO NOT PASS UP THE CHANCE TO SEE HIM!! I Saw him with Chuck Ragan!

[indie360]

i'm so wounded, cos i've wanted to see him THREE times now, and every time haven't been able to. bloody hell. good job he's touring next year :D

[BandDFilms]

That seems like on of the best shows ever. Chuck Ragan is the man! I just discovered this guy like 5 minutes ago, but he is really good.

[ApotheosisJebus]

Why would they make a music video if the artist of the song couldn't appear in it? That sounds so stupid, yet the puppet idea is kind of cool.

[robotbadger1]

He was in the states touring and they needed a video for the single release quickly. It was all a bit of a rush to be honest

[josh4spionk]

this ones better - its a insane video

[Heresathought]

@robotbadger1 and the video is so much more awesome for it.

[Forgefire5]

@ApotheosisJebus

Do you need the artist to appear in it? Couldn't you have a video to match the song?

[kassa456]

never herd oof him here in the states, but I like him. And I just e mailed this song to alot of other yanks.

[xpinheadx245]

i just saw him warm up for the offspring a lil while ago in new jersey so here doing something

[kassa456]

Cool, I live in St. Louis and we have tons of large and small venues. Hope they make it this way. Thanks

[Charliemajor]

he was brilliant at reading. absoloutely fantastic.

[Consequencer11]

I concur, his secret set was cool too. Musically he is so much better than he was a year ago. I'm glad he's making it big now beyond the punk community!

[jeffiers2233]

so this is what frank turner has become? cheesy, radio-friendly crap for the masses

[steeeev3]

I agree with you in regards to this song... pretty weak, but I just saw him live last night, and he fuckin rocked... ill give him a pass on this this less-than jig

[notintune1]

that dancing queen cover was so freakin' awesome! i'd never heard of him before and saw there was a secret gig on the introducing at reading, turned out it was him, and he was unbelievable! what a voice.

[shabutie1986]

Cant Belive I Saw Him Play Twice In One Day At Reading Festival. His Cover Of Dancing Queen On The Introducing Stage Was Awsome

[allaboutthejazz]

I was there at Reading too! When he came back to do the last song on the introducing stage and cracked out Dancing Queen it made my festival. What an amazing day!

[rbeer37]

saw him yesterday at reading... i had an epiphany :)

[lfctwentytwo]

he rocks..just brilliant..he's supporting offspring this month and in september gonna be great

[MoonmothMedia]

Genius Video, go you!

[jwatabrizi]

[gillinghamak]

[cbanderton]

[MJHxoxo]

XD The line he sings at 2:24 really sounds like "She's so wrapped up in her invisible llama"

[the8tharmy]

Haha yeah i always thought that!

=D

[valleyschool93]

yeah does quite a lot, but its armour armour not lama lol

[KiitCat]

Oh! haha lol

[feather465]

hahahaha i though that too

[flats27]

its cos he merges the last syllable of invisible into the first of the next word (armour) but yh hahaha

[nokotan]

I was just saying to my friend how stupid I felt thinking it was llama lol

Ironic given the title of the song

[argosjeans]

a very good friend of mine just sent me this. its made me feel so much better after screwing about how i might not do well in my exams!!!

[bigboss445]

this is actually better then the official video

[sylviepoison]

this song makes me happy...:D:D:D

[weecoby3]

Anyone tells me they dont like this song ...I'll call them a fucking liar!!

[punchlinemma]

"im not as awesome as this song may sound". frank turner = epic win

[SouthBankOwen]

+5 cool points for a Smiths reference :)

[youngwithoutyouth]

Agreed. Though, I wish it was a positive one. :( I sit at home and listen to the Smiths. I hope I'm not like everyone else.

[Synskin]

Well, a r-e-a-l-l-y unique person would tape themselves to the ceiling an listen to the Smiths.

[Kingflicker]

I and afew friend went to see the levellers at U.E.A norwich,,,and Frank was playing solo,,,un F@@@in believable..Nice 1 Frank can't wait to see u again..Roll on Glastonbury 2009..Yeerhaaa
