I had no idea who Frank Turner was before I saw him on a whim at a show with some friends, and it was a good show, but he came on and I had no idea what happened to me, the music washed over me in a way I had never experienced before. I moshed for the first time to this song, and it was packed, and I'm a little kinda girl and I was totally lifted off the ground from the force of all the people around me, and this song marks the single best day of my entire life to today.
It's strange, the lyrics by themselves seem to be purely hopeful - but the way he sings it makes it seem insidious, egotistical. The use of 'innocents' helps create this, I think
I'd hope a can of ash would be filtered out before the water left the reservoir, or I'm having a word with United Utilities ;) Nah, it's still an awesome song :D
@wllychng21 I think a lot of bands would slap you if they see you refer to them as "English"
A lot of big alternative bands have come more from Scotland and Wales rather than the pop, brit pop and mainstream music that England almost methodically produces
It's my favourite song. Thx Frank!

I have to say. I have never read such poetic lyrics. Frank Turner is a lyrical masterpiece-maker.

This song is about the only afterlife an atheist should give a fuck about: Influencing skinny English folk guitarists.

Some people compare Frank Turner to God. Frankly, I dont know, i mean hes pretty good and stuff, but he's no Frank Turner.
