i think i know Frank Turners time travelling past self. they look the same with the same hair and beard, come from winchester and play acoustic guitar all the time.....
First heard this on R1 on my way in to Winchester for first time to meet up with 'a girl' on Jewry Street. Every time I hear this song now it now reminds me of her, but I'll never see her again I think. :(
this was playing in the dentist the other day, good in one way as the song make's you feel better, better in another when the dentist says to you "hold on i love this song" and begins dansing round the room, i actually like my dentist now!
Heard this song on the radio a couple of times making me miss a place, before realising it was about Winchester.... Theres something special about the place and the people. Missing Winch :( Dan Wrench x
Fantastic, I spent so much time hanging out in the Grounds during my teen years (not to mention the Vine, the Eclipse, various cafés etc etc), this was such a sweet reminder. I posted it to my Winchester friends on FB and had a storm of enthusiastic responses. When are you playing Amsterdam, which is where I live now? Cheers, Sam (formerly of Twyford and Winchester)
I think everyone can make this song their own. I may not be from Wessex but I can relate to all the hometown nostalgia. I'm a Dublin boy, and when I'm here I'm home!
i am going to change the lyrics of this slightly and sing it as 'florence boy', and i honestly dont care if you think this song should be untouched, music is music and anyone from anywhere should be able to play and sing whatever they want and however they want it
@Karano1994 all the people that you can see on the steps of the buttercross plus us (me and my mates) in the cat grounds and walking down the high street
This and Nights Become Days are definitely my favourites off the new album. This song makes me so happy :-) but whywhywhy did you cut your hair Frank, I loved it longer!
I grew up in Chandlers Ford, and now live in So'ton. Makes me fancy a good old trip to Winch though, as I used to go there loads and I haven't been there probably this year!
I listen to this song (and the rest of the album) on my way to college every day. This song sums up so much how I feel about my home town. I love frank's music so much and I know in years to come when I think back to myself at this age, songs like this will be there with those memories
Ah I love this so much I'm so excited to see you live next month :) I hope your hair has grown back a bit by then though, you look better and friendlier with it short :) gah, I feel so stupid for commenting on his hair -.- ah well :L
I can express how much I love this video. Frank, I love you. Tarrant, your brilliant. The song is beyond awesome. And for everyone that was there, well done, you are so lucky!!!
Why is everyone talking about 240p? I got everything up to 720p :S Anyway, Frank you've fucking done it again, great video for a great song :) Well done to you and everyone in it.
@InsertAnimation youtube will let you watch something in 240p when the higher quality versions havent uploaded yet so when you get a video just uploaded for about 20 minutes you can only watch it in 240p
I'm at 360p too bitches! Ben at the end made me lol. Also, anyone know if the guy at the end dropping the coin into the guitar case is Evan Weiss from Into It Over It? I think it is.....
