Smiling At Strangers On Trains - Million Dead

[Phuckaducker]

I remember Kneejerk

[hypermuse500]

This song reminds me of such good times. 

[samisaysrelax]

i love frank turner so much

[blackbubblegum47]

didn't realise million dead were actually good lol, thought they were sum garage band king frank was in in his teenage years

[daveyk8]

i saw these supporting funeral for a friend years ago, lets jus say the support band were better than the one i paid for and didnt even know who they were at the time, and didnt know it was frank turner who was the lead singer till a few weeks afer listening to his solo stuff

[sheep1471]

now 53 :')

[JGill93]

I regret not hearing about them earlier... this song is freaking awesome!

[iLoveFrankTurner]

frank turner alone is a lot better..... in my opinion

[fromlaunatolust]

insane energy, fucking love this band!

[georgegabriel9]

Incredible that Frank can make such a profound version of this too. Great musician..

[TheSquiglyPenguin]

@georgegabriel9 Million dead is frank's old band...this isn't frank though

[almightyseancore]

@TheSquiglyPenguin thats frank singin' alright.

[MickeyMo1961]

@TheSquiglyPenguin yes it is?

[casualastheycome]

sorry everyone, but thank fuck frank went solo/ stopped doing punk rock

[HarryCaseyKid]

@casualastheycome Frank still does punk, its just not in the way that most people think of punk. He does not use punk as a way to dress, have your hair cut or use distortion on guitars. Its about the poetry and the meaning behind those lyrics. Punk is defiance of death, punk is seizing the day.

So yeah, frank still does punk xD

[casualastheycome]

@HarryCaseyKid fair enough, that's not what most people think of though when you say punk. i'm not too into subdiving rock genres myself would you believe. just that with the meaning in his songs and his lyrical skill he is much better suited to solo acoustic songs. even on his solo albums i prefer the songs that don't use electric. anyways i didn't mean punk ......rock, i meant "punk rock" sorry for the confusion. love ire and song "punk rock didn't live up to what i'd hoped that it could be"

[batman2909]

@casualastheycome trolololololol

[vivalaethan09]

the lead singer almost looks like that Fred Turner guy..

[WonderfullyWierd1]

@vivalaethan09 you mean Frank Turner? That is him

[PeterIanStaker]

@WonderfullyWierd1 you mean face palm? That is one

[TheSarge21]

It has to be said, Frank's own version of this simply out classes this version!

[livvi67]

@TheSarge21 Nope. Completely disagree, as good as the new version is.

[legoliveson]

@TheSarge21 You can't compare the two versions, they're just so different...

[941jack]

he pissed in his mouth.....lol

[joeglassfield1]

this version sounds more clean than the album version? but it could be that i whack it up to 11 when playing. my fav song of all time. that and 'i gave my eyes to stevie wonder'

[joemccorriston]

happy frank moved on from this

[AlexTheHat]

I agree with SamKayeMusic...and prefer Frank's version of this song...

[SamKayeMusic]

I will probably get slated for this. but it is my opinion.

I prefer frank now than when he was in million dead. its NOT that i don't like million dead, i think they are awesome. but i just prefer frank now, and the music he does now inspired me to start recording an album.

[lightthiscity11]

anyone else hear a Polar Bear Club similarity?

[DARTHROCKER1]

@lightthiscity11 First time I heard Polar Bear Club I thought it was Frank Turner singing.

[fourganger88]

The first band I ever saw live. Seeing Frank Turner live this weekend. There may be tears if he plays this.

[WillCreary]

what's the music video about?

[rev0lut10nz]

It's this genre, that genre. Get a fucking life.

[roystenvasey]

sick sick sick

[albanyroadFilms]

million dead are post-hardcore/emo, both are subsidies of punk.

rise against are punkrock.

[Armogslaven]

Lool i do prefer frank turner solo, going to see him at 200 trees this year =D

[zombiecag]

Million Dead brings back some good memories.. But I much prefer Frank's solo stuff now. He's got a great voice and writes amazing songs. It's also pretty cool to see that he's bigger now than he ever was with Million Dead!

[iamteazifyouplease]

peoples tatses change with time, he fits both genres of post hardcore punk and folky ballads, and to be fair these songs translate well into both as the acoustic of this song proves

[Szaam]

relatively enjoyable tbf. i quite like frank turner now.

it's clearly post-hardcore btw everyone.

[MartyAintFlying]

it's hardcore punkrock, just like bands as Rise Against.. it's not really punk is it? and it's a bit heavier than you average punkrock

[YessMattiBoi]

@MartyAintFlying ur a fag if ur seriously comperin million dead to rise against

[WillCreary]

@YessMattiBoi rise against is my favorite band! i wouldnt compare them, theyre too different in style.

[YessMattiBoi]

@WillCreary yeh u best not compare them

[Aardvarked88]

Lmao @ anyone over the age of 20 who calls people "sellouts" for making more pop sounding songs, it must be awesome to be so ignorant.

Probably the same type of clueless drones who bought RATM for xmas.

[smcSINema]

fully agreed

[tonightweburnthesky]

yup. fthc ftw.

[thedjsnow]

I don't get why everything about million dead is followed by "hardcore punk"

It's not that hardcore.... Don't get me wrong - i f'ing love it!

it's punk, not really hardcore!

[jzancan]

Well, in all fairness, they have a few songs like "Pornography for Cowards." But I do agree with you that its not enough to merit "hardcore" before the "punk."

[ExpansiveHeart77]

I dont quite know what to think about this.....maybe it will grow on me.

[supermegacrazyawesom]

I agree with this lad below me,  Frank rocks, Million dead rocks.

[aplasticcup06]

JUST TO SETTLE ANY ARGUMENTS: MILLION DEAD AS A BAND FUCKING RULED (take note in past tense) + FRANK TURNER FUCKING RULES! (again, pay particular notice in the preset tense)

[dejadal]

i hate myself for gettin into these arguments. but how can you call people who like him now fairweather fans? they aren't a football team, you don't 'support' a musician even when they make music you don't like. you buy the music you like and you leave the music you don't... there is no glory in following somebody when they are more popular, as i am sure most people agree intimatte gigs are often the best

million dead were pretty good, his single stuff is better

[supermegacrazyawesom]

S'a sick song, s'a sick band, and a sick singer. fuck yeah.

[gbettison]

What does it matter? Just enjoy the fucking music, wankers.

[supermegacrazyawesom]

yes.

[sambabway]

you are all little fags! pure cuming your pants over when frank turner is better get some dry nights or something! sorry for those of you who dont care and just want to listen to the music but cmon why argue hes great solo and in a punk band

[punkhippe]

ahh cmon its art, who cares who listened to it when. it doenst have to be about being a fan it about apreachating the sound and the message trying to act like who listened to it when is the destruction of art.

[albanyroadFilms]

nah mate, real fans are the ones who were sweating it out in the mosh pits from the beginning, Caught Franks show last night and two thirds of the audience weren't even old enough to have seen million dead; let alone heard of them.

fair weather fans, just don't cut it.

[iwalkthel1ne]

yeh hes turning pop and there are going to loads of dickheads following him now, but we're just gonn have to deal with it

[sprokiejd]

you are fake, fuckoff!! he is way better now than when he was a pussy punk queer like yourself!!

[iwalkthel1ne]

get fucked. i am in no way fake, i like frank trner now and then, i liked him more in million dead cus now hes commercial and pop as hell. go listen to some bullshit boybands, your opinion is nothing

[jzancan]

Your disposition may very well represent everything wrong with the world.

[philcircou]

It's just what happens, look at Biffy

[Slvrncld]

AHHHHHHHH I love Frank Turner! I like his acoustic version, but this is ace. He can do no wrong, can he!? x

[696gojira696]

what album is this song on? i cant find it :(

[boovidge]

A Song to Ruin. It's being re-released soon.

[Subculture]

It's out now at xtramile's website I believe. It arrived here a week or two ago. Great stuff.

[oojaymutumbay]

piss

[jo3mck]

i like the acoustic version of this song better but this 1 is cool!

[skatanicskanker]

real fans are only ones from the start? what a stupid thing to say, so what if people just discovered him, it is still possible to like someone as much or more as someone who liked them from `the beginning`.

[frenchtickler123]

for the win

[marcwhiffen]

brilliant! they really remind me of idlewild

[naomi0987654]

lol they dont sound like idlewild to me

its weird hearing frank turner like this, i'm used to him singing acoustic

[SCHMeNGeNiTe13]

i know right? i just found out about him a month ago and really got into him. then my friend was like "man, he used to be in a band" so i looked this up.

both are pretty spiffy. i prefer acoustic tho

[keppel7822]

same here. though this stuff is so ace, completely different sound - Frank Turner for the more angry people : ) lol

[changethemapmaker]

100% without a doubt frank turner is my favourite recording artist of all time.

[keppel7822]

Same here - the guy is an absolute fucking legend

[littlegaz9]

Damn i miss these guys

[kenhomhotwok]

i forgot how much i love this song, and this album. i'll have to dig it out now.

[sensesfail81]

this band is reaaallly good

[SadMudSoul]

awesome, just awesome :)

[possiblySammm]

favourite song. ever.

=]

[giulio004]

love this song!!!

[novnevercomes]

love this song. LOVE this band. Million Dead needs a re-union tour!

[jodylol]

I forgot about this weird video!

[tezoqual]

lol. an american makes a comment and the only response these kids can rustle up is "duh, just some thick as shit fat mouth...duh".

as a brit, i'm more inclined to thinking WE'RE the ignorant ones - for believing that one man and his actions reflect the voice of the people. You obviously have no idea about the flaws of democracy and the voting system.

[Monicky2]

Sorry, I can't read your comment.

Your over grown head is in the way.

[rob6666]

"WE'RE the ignorant ones - for believing that one man and his actions reflect the voice of the people."

You're generalising now, idiot.

[trailofdead]

haha i played with frank turner last tuesday!

awesome gig, i miss the million dead days

[gibble45]

in saw frank last night :)

he looks so young in these old videos

[ukhardore1990]

The Singer (Frank Turner) now does accoustic Folk music.

And it's probably the best I've ever heard.

[batman2909]

Million Dead were class. At the Drive In were class. What's the problem?

[flesh4u]

Yes I can hear the at the drive in similarity.

If I'd known that you weren't so far away

I would have rode this train

Smiling.

[kinpossible]

At the drive ins frontman has a too whiney voice for my liking

[jimmytalent89]

try the song Mannequin Republic

[Lustandwine]

Damn right. exilent choice. im an Archarsonal guy myself but its a mint tune :D

[RofflesEnglish]

Dude everything on that album fucking owns. Cosmonaut ftw thoughs

[thepriceofreality]

what does "ftw" stand for?!?!

[RofflesEnglish]

for the win

[thepriceofreality]

aah! makes more sense than "fuck the woolworths"!

[damashii]

for the win.

[pr0ct3r]

@kinpossible Cedric doesn't have a whiney voice. that's the music they do and his voice is absolutely fantastic!

[RD2006]

@kinpossible Blasphemy!

[dojo0069]

they sound like at the drive in, but their not as pretensious. atdi had their heads up their arse, million dead are just good musicians

[EdtheGhost]

tommyjeet is obviously just another thick as shit american, if you dont like it then dont bother opening your presumably fat mouth and if you want to use a word like 'sux' spell it right

[joelacks]

tommyjeet obviously a "i like american music and nothing else because we can bomb foreigners!" guy lol

[tommyjeet]

and u call US ignorant. lol. take a look at your own government pal...practically america's bitch.

[robinioh]

to be honest. you can say that...but whenever i saw tony blair and george bush having a confrence together, it always seemed to me like Tony was correcting his mistakes, cause Bush is a retard.

[roflharris1]

turner likes to drink the piss

[tommyjeet]

Englands answer to At The Drive In. This sux balls.

[BlinJe]

i dotn care if you said that 8 months ago

your probably a bigger nobend now.

prick.

[tommyjeet]

....for having an opinion contrary to your own..?

grow the fuck up. the beauty of this world is everyone's different. deal with it.

I think they sound like ATDI. If you'd been listening to ATDI since the mid 90's and then tuned into this, you might also think it sounds jaded.

But hey, kids these days....

[BlinJe]

no, for expressing that opinion by saying "this sux balls."

if you dont like it, shut up and keep it to yourself.

oh and im a big fan of atdi aswell, and there are similarities but they are also inescapeably different. so no i do not think it sounds "jaded".

[SsAaMm192]

ben is cool fucker

[mocata]

Ben is gay.

[Arstar]

not quite as good as the album track? still love, though.

[smartiboi]

very true

album version is better

[SasquatchXXX]

This is the first time ive seen this, and its amazing.

nice work on uploading it!
