  • A song every person with a shred of humanity probably sings along with at some point.

    Thanks for being so brave.

  • Don't listen to those that don't like it!!! I love it!! You did a good job, it touched my heart!!! :) Thanks for being able to and for sharing this :) <3

  • Yeah what a horrible fucking video. You sound like shit.

  • @prochoicenz Thank you so much for your honesty; I appreciate it :-) ~F~

  • I think it sounded just great! I love REM...this song, and your rendetion;-)

  • wow bloody wow love the song and you did it proud you have an awesome voice

  • I'm featuring this video on my channel Frank! I love the way you sing it:)

    Hope to see more vids soon friend:)

    BOP

  • Very good But just A little better then you will get there. :)

  • frank i didnt no you sang this song to ! haha i watched your other ones they were awesome and you have an amazing voice! (:

  • I like it. Thanks to you. Best wishes to you my friend :-))

  • Its good man, keep it up. Ignore the idiots who tell you otherwise... they're noobs, trust me.

  • I see a man giving his best..with so much feeling. This is what singing about is. What other people think isn´t so important..one likes - one hates. Of course opinions mean a lot..but useless critic is worthless..constructive critic is valuable. Just keep on doing what you like doing Frank. Greetings from Germany.

  • awesome job((smiles))

  • Beautiful. Well done. Great Job... I can feel your pain.

  • Hi Frank.

    There is a lot of effect on your voice which is giving it a very weird computer like sound.

    It's either chorus or flanger.

    A little is ok but too much takes away your voice.

    What you want (And what I use to help myself) is reverb.

    Reverb gives you a nice sounding echo just like Michael in the song.

    Take care!

  • really good!!

  • You look like Stipe (a bad thing). But don't sound like him (another bad thing).

    Give it up man...........

  • You sing very well ... I like listen when you sing. You should be star :):):):)

  • Frank, you said you had to be brave or a fool to attempt this song. I think your a brave man and you've got balls. You have done us nonsingers a great justice with your work here. It was just wonderful. I was looking just for the song by REM and not all the comentary when I ran across your version. It was just beautiful. Thanks for having the go-nads to do it.

  • Heidiscope: Thank you so much; and you are so right :-)

  • Well maybe he cant but i doubt you will be playing his version at your mums funeral will you! And how as he ruined the song , you dont have to listen to it if you dont like it!

  • Yes be grateful. I just lost My Wife, My Angel, My Best Friend, on May 10th, having only been wed for 2 years 7 months. She was the very air I need to breath....I stumble around so lost. No bearing on anything I do...

  • I think you did a fine job...you were yourself and that's what counts. The point IS everybody has times of hurt and sorrow. In that fact we are not alone. It is a cry for compassion....for ALL.

  • Trueman619m: Thank you so much for your kind comment.

    Yes ... it is very much a song for all. I really cannot begin to think of what it is truly like to feel alone. I have to say I am thankful not to be in such a position ... at the same time I have had my moments of hurt. My guess is that we all have. This song says so much of being hurt and of comfort.

    Again ... Thank you for your kind comment :-)

    ~F~

  • just BAD frankfranklyn just bad you can't even sing it is just bad

    ~F~

  • once again ive vistied this video =]

    amazing =]

  • Haiidehh14: Thank you so much for your re-visit :-)

    ~F~

  • I love the song. While it may be depressing, it shows people that "hey, everybody cries now and then. Everybody hurts sometimes." I've always loved R.E.M.

  • Seattle: "While it may be depressing, it shows people that "hey, everybody cries now and then"

    I am pretty much sure most would relate with you; I know I certainly do. And yes ... R.E.M. are absolutely awesome!! Thank you for your comment :-)

    ~F~

    ~F~

  • Wow good job!

  • houlaboula:

    Thank you so much for your comment; much appreciated :-)

    ~F~

  • I'm not going to lie to you, and sorry for being harsh. But you where a bit flat on a view notes. You do have an amazing voice tho... My tip would be to keep pushing your voice, keep trying.

    Good Luck!

  • Adam: I have another version of this song that will not be put up on Youtube or anywhere else for that matter. But that is besides the point ...

    I think I took a lot on myself in even attempting this song so I can hear what you do ... I am my own worst critic, I assure you. But still, and at the end of the day, I take nothing I do seriously enough to be really truthful with you in return.

    Thank you so much for your honest, candid opinions and I appreciate what you say :-)

    ~F~

  • you are really bad

  • MrNiiing: Thank you so much for your honest comment :-)

    ~F~

  • I think I've listened way too much to this song the last time... I always listen to it, when I'm devestated...

    But your voice is really really good! Many people mess up this beautiful by trying to sing it. But you didn't! Great job! 5*

  • Thekamikaz said: "I think I've listened way too much to this song the last time... I always listen to it, when I'm devestated... "

    It is a very touching song; of that there can never be any doubt. I can also understand how many would always come back to it; myself included :-)

    Hoping all is well in your life and thank you for the interest and king comment :-)

    ~F~

  • Good job (:

    You should get out there and let other people hear your voice cause its pretty good hunnie (:

    xxx

  • Teiggix: Thank you so much for the lovely comment; I think I am bit too much past the mark to even think about public; apart from being scared to pieces .. LOL

    Thank you; again :-)

    ~F~

  • THIS IS REALLY GOOD, NICE JOB:)

  • What do you mean "messing with emotions"?

  • Seattlecarnut:

    "What do you mean "messing with emotions"?

    Hi. I am not sure who that comment is to and I am not sure in what way you mean it; which makes it hard to respond :-)

    ~F~

  • mooi liedje,

    meneer u zingt vals ^.^

  • lauradejong: I really don't know what you say here but thank you so much for taking the time to comment :-)

    ~F~

  • Was looking through this to find the original song and was like "wow another crappy singer" but no, I actually like your voice! Great job! :) I wouldn't even dare to put up a song of me singing on YouTube haha!

  • Hi piiiiraten:

    Thank you so much for your comment!! :-)

    ~F~

  • Beautiful song! Beautiful singing! The first time I heard this song, I cried like a baby. It was so sad. It's my favourite song ever by R.E.M.

  • Music has a way of really messing with our emotions ... you think? :-)

    Thank you for your nice comment :-)

    F

  • Very good job! It takes guts to get out there and sing unless your the type that has no inhibitions at all... I think we all do at some level. I give you kudos for doing what most wouldn't attemp.... not to mention, you're not bad! :-)

  • Thank you ... thanks a lot :-)

    F

  • Such a good job, you did REM justice...I love this song

  • Thank you very much :-)

    ~F~

  • youre not a bad singer

    and u got the balls to put this up on the web so well done

    i cudnt do it

  • Thank you very much :-)

    ~F~

  • Hey. I think it good that you have the balls to put this to the world and just be yourself. Good job. But I also think you suck at singing. Bob Dylan also sucks at singing. He's a published singer. I still listened to it all the way, even though you're no Frank Sinatra. I liked what you wrote in the box.

  • MoncefGridda: Thank you so much for your honest opinion and I take in the flavour of what you say.

    "even though you're no Frank Sinatra"

    lol ... I do not see the connection of this song to Frank Sinatra and (in all honesty) he is/was never to my taste.

    Point taken on what matters to your ears and I take that without reserve; but, I have no idea what Frank Sinatra has to do with anything of what is here ... lol

    Thank you so much :-)

    ~F~

  • Frank Sinatra is the quintessential male singing voice. Sweet as honey and strong as an ox.

  • Hi MoncefGridda:

    "Frank Sinatra is the quintessential male singing voice"

    I would *never* disagree with what you say; the fact I do not like Sinatra does not take away his wonderful talent. I guess it comes down to taste and personal choice :-)

    Thank you for your comment
