this song makes me happy

[alisia1234567]

Miss Guppy!! My teacher there. <3

I love winchester

[matclarence]

loving this...It's not just our Wessex capital,,it's Salisbury, Bristol, Dorchester, Exeter, Shaftesbury, Bath, Weymouth, Taunton, Southampton, Basingstoke, Portland, Poole, Swindon, Blandford, Glastonbury, Ringwood and all the other places in Wessex that have the same feeling of pride ....of when we saved England from the Vikings....no Wessex - no England

[LFCfan1993LFC]

Looks just like Canterbury!!!!!

[ellieoriginalsx]

Set this as your morning alarm, it's the only song that works!

[IvyCosmopolitan000]

I grew up in a town called Sussex :D

[1Macc101]

@IvyCosmopolitan000 there isnt a town called sussex, its a county?

[MaddieBishop]

@IvyCosmopolitan000 isnt that a county? well im not an expert or anything so point me out if im wrong!

[vasoliisgod]

You don't think it's great, but you think it's brilliant? I'm confused.

[78stamper]

I live in Winchester and to be honest I dont think its that great... Although brilliant song!!

[78stamper]

I live in Winchester and to be honest I dont think its that great :/ Brilliant song though!!

[BobblyFlower]

THATS MY CAT IN THE WINDOW THERE

[JTudders]

@xMissLalalax Used to be! moved to sparsholt last year :D

[DJAwayDaysWFCTV]

I picked up a second hand sofa from Winchester the other day. Seemed like a nice place!

[bigtdean]

AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG­GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! :D

[JBlakey9]

This song has made me unbelievably homesick! Missing Winchester!

[edgarwhitee]

GREAT SONG :D

[TheebieJeebie]

Hes not wessex, this song is about winchester!!

[morton2611]

@TheebieJeebie Wessex used to be Winchester and Hampshire in one

[GodLikeSausage]

@TheebieJeebie winchester is in wessex you spastic

[deecharrl]

Winchester song.

[pillow0head]

thumbs up if you knew frank turner before h was famous?

[sensesfan2010]

@pillow0head fuck you hipster fag, just listen to his music, who gives a shit when you knew him, hes becoming known to more people which is great bc hes an amazing artist

[pillow0head]

@sensesfan2010 first of all, calm down. do you think it is possible that i was making a joke about the sort of people who comment things like that? In conclusion, FUCK YOU.

[FlossyP13]

Frank Turner grew up in Meonstoke? Thats where I grew up!!

[FlossyP13]

This is brilliant. I am Winchestonian through and through. And Radio 1 love it!

[peterp275]

This brought back many happy memories, I am now living in Essex. Help me I want to get back!!

[mermaidellz]

soooooooooooooooooooooooooo in love

[Billynobrakes]

I defy anyone to listen to this and not feel at least a little bit happier!

[monstermasup]

Everyone can relate to this song, i live far down Cornwall but it reminds me of hot days chilling out next to Exeter cathedral with mates all around :)

[EmmaGemmaLeCaza]

This is amazing! I love Winchester-

[stephm64]

aaah Winchester how I miss you!!! This song just reminded me of when I was at Symonds and used to skip lessons to hang out at the Cat grounds.....good times!

[lucyqoneluuny]

Love it. No other words for it :)

[frankstarist]

I'm from proper Wessex in Dorset. Winchester surely on the periphery. lol

[IronMikeBaron]

When the hell (bar the saxon times) was Winchester ever in Wessex? Only those from Somerset, Devon and little bits of Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Dorset have claims to this fine title!

[battlep0t]

@IronMikeBaron Hampshire was in Wessex.

[lilysgotstylee]

I bloody love how happy he looks in this. :)

[BlitzM3tal]

Wessex, Devon born & bred! -3 Great song!

[Minus15LUFC]

Another exquisite song and video by Mr Turner!

[XwilksX]

Winchester ftw! <3 love my home

[Titcheatingcake]

Finally some appreciation for the south west! Big up Somerset!

[mrsedgraham]

i didn't grow up in Winchester, but i went to University there and continued to live there for five years afterwards. I feel like it's my home, more than London ever was and I think that's because i did a lot of 'growing up' there. When i think about it, most of my best memories are from living in Winchester ... this is a lovely song which really brings them back.

i <3 winch

xoxo

[UKDUB2010]

He is a Wessex Boy born in Bahrain lol

[trixapete]

@UKDUB2010

i dont blame him for not singing about that shit hole then lol

[hellbabe92]

My dog is called Wessex. Not important I know, but its nice to have a song that I can pretend is about him :)

[TheebieJeebie]

so proud to be from winchester :')

[reconsoldierECG]

Thumbs up for the Sons Of Liberty (1776) shirt

[lennono1980]

superb. what a wicked tune. reminds me of ronnie lane. love it.

[ryanjohnston95]

I fucking love WINCH!!! So surreal its in a music video though! Jewry Street, Cat Grounds, Dodging Drunks, The Railway, Buttercross, i still do this!!!! Frank Tuner, you beautiful man!



[MACLADILLY]

reminds me of my childhood, Peter Symonds/ winch art school...so long ago - left in 1982! great song, thankyou.

[tallulah8687]

Ah this makes me miss Winchester sooo much! Can't wait to be home for Christmas, been living in Italy for the past few months... nothing beats Winchester tho!

[MaddieBishop]

didn't realise that this song was so new - it's my dad's favortite atm, he never listens to new stuff!! obviouslly frank turner's done a good job then!! even gave me a lesson about the orgin of english areanames :)

[whitemascarra]

love this song, love frank turner and love that about half way through this my neighbour is strolling along across the background!

[MindGamePK]

Sounds kinda like "My dad drives a JCB" and has a Mumford & Sons element to it.

[tallykita]

AWESOME

[xKiLlJoYDx]

TOWOW

[dave10592]

first time i heard this was on the radio when I visited my mate at Brighton uni from my uni (Pompey) as i was going through Wessex on the coach, ironic ayyyyyy x

[jenbean92]

This song makes me proud to be Winchester born and bred! :)

[madonsnow]

I knew this before Radio1 did :P

[VintageAnarchist]

Only just found this by chance, shocked to see my High Street! I'm a Winchester Uni fresher and couldn't love this city any more ^___^ go Winchy!! xx

[squirrelpotion]

the only way is wessex

[yeahman209]

'I am disappeared' & 'Redemption' should get Music Videos !!!!

[PleasantKenobi]

Living in Winchester, currently at Uni here. Beautiful song. Amazing city. Frank Turner, what a guy.

[giraffemad830]

The beginning of this song is the cutest thing <3

[TheOnlyChelseaBoysam]

Don't care that I'm from Essex, this song is excellent! Thank you Radio 1 for playing this!

[1tizzi]

[slothman82]

[ThatTurnerThing]

[her0n]

Gotta love sitting on the Buttercross, eating a pasty :)

[fastlaneBMXmag]

Winch-Side! :)

[TheStarkidAli]

this really makes me miss being home in winchester! and this song is amazing!

[owlkid21]

I'm not from Wessex, I'm not even English. But this song gets me every time <3

[LEVLB]

oh south west how i miss thee

[silveretta01]

this is because winchester is the best town in england.

[steventudor]

Dammit I walk through the Cathedral grounds twice a day, how did I miss this? :-D

[lollygirl103]

13 people have no home town.

[MikeMcBam]

So I've been living in Sweden for a while now, and was listening to iPlayer when making my breakfast this morning. Much to my surprise, on popped this song, and I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me feel homesick. Took me right back.

[fmannerings]

love winch <3

[TheBenHolder]

my sciance teacher is in this

[ohnanasuckmydick]

The only way is Wessex.

[strawberrykitten17]

haha my teacher is in this!

[TheVideoGenre]

Thumbs up if your sick of people mistaking Wessex for Essex. Essex has NOTHING to do with this song, the words just simular!

[george120492]

@vegunited06, Wessex is now Hampshire, not Dorset. (This video is filmed in Winchester)

[MrKevman79]

@george120492 Wessex is Hants,Wilts,Berks,Oxon,Glouces­tershire,Somerset,Devon and Dorset

Have a look at this site all you Wessex people.

Wessex regionalists

[ushiuni82]

This song gives me all kinds of nostalgic feelings Frank turner is a legend this and Redemption are his best songs in my humble opinion..

[ThrowingScopes]

12 people are Essex

[ThrowingScopes]

@vegunited06 ok thanks =)

[megasuperultraswede]

ahhh the guy in the middle at 1:13 has mick thompsons guitar (slipknot guitarist)

[ThrowingScopes]

What does " a wessex boy " mean? ;S

[vegunited06]

@ThrowingScopes a boy from Wessex, which is south coast of the UK. It's called Dorset now

[ArseLoad0fMetal666]

this is the kind of music epitaph SHOULD be putting out, Ironically the english busker with the acoustic guitar could beat the shit out of all these fucking pussy emo and metalcore bands on Epitaph atm

[SammieSparxx13]

This is an amazing song, and a great artist, but SO out of place compared to most of Epitaph's other artists...

[Hannahw78]

WOO WINCHESTER :D<3

[ashleybash87]

Def got to be on the tour bus they shot in!!

[underoathxxxxxx]

he is my hero

[Mattylw12]

Why is Alan off the Hangover playing the guitar on this video at 2:03 ????

[SiLvErUnIt911]

left handed? 

[mrtillysman]

@FriendNotFoeBand... cant both be good artists? Ben Nichols is good in his own way just as Frank Turner is...why must they be compared to each other?

[iamfreyac]

Caaaute!

[IrunwithVampiresXD]

I could dance to this on a hot summers day in a field someone where :)

[FriendNotFoeBand]

Get fucked. Frank turner is shit. Ben nichols write circles around this guy and ben nichols sucks. Sound like jack johnson made it to epitaph. Come fight me!

[icejaff]

nice singing :) good song :)

[Dante77774]

Wow, nice song, makes me smile :)

[charwentzz]

awww winchester :)

[scratchcardgloryfilm]

yes winchester!

[ThatTurnerThing]

Wanna hang out in winchester with me sometime? :D

[LoveLindberg]

Great song! really glad i bumped in to it.

[Herestodinner]

This is amazing.

[TheStarlitkiwi]

Love the shots of the Sleeping Souls just chilling :D Very jealous of the extras in this video!

[PoorNancy]

Great video! ..was that Jessie!?. ..i think that's a great video!

[madvegan66]

This made me a "Wet-sex girl".

[TitoSilvey]

Turner, Jihad, and Into it. Over It. Such a fucking great night, hope all of em come back round again.

[wllychng21]

LOL freaking cat. Cracks me up everytime

[greensimplepark224]

God I watched this 304 times liked it 53 times and I don't know why but I also disliked it 4 times I don't know why but it did I guess i was just bored.

[PlainSimpleJack]

Is this song about Thomas Hardy's fictional Wessex?

[upgradefrea]

@PlainSimpleJack

Wessex is quite real you know...

[1Macc101]

@PlainSimpleJack there is no 'fictional wessex' Thomas Hardy's wessex poems are also referring to the physical place composed of dorset, hampshire, wiltshire

[HallowedSauce]

Beautiful song.

[CarboKill]

Essex is a shit hole.

[SicShredder13]

@CarboKill it's really no worse than anywhere else in england

[CarboKill]

@SicShredder13

Except Hull and London, am I right? Bahahahaha xD

[SicShredder13]

@CarboKill I personally think london is a tad shit tbh, haven't been to hull xD

[D022Y656]

@CarboKill lol, i don't even know why!!

[ROT1313]

@CarboKill that is true but the song is called WESSEX boy, wessex with a W

[CarboKill]

@ROT1313

You're not from England, are you?

[ROT1313]

@CarboKill yeah i am and my family is from wessex which is in wiltschire

[CarboKill]

@ROT1313

I thought wessex meant west essex :P

[ROT1313]

@CarboKill nope mate completely different :P

[ItJustMeandYou]

@CarboKill he's singing about wessex you douche there 2 completely different places

[CarboKill]

@ItJustMeandYou

Was there any fucking need? Gtfo you miserable cunt.

[dshaw8771]

@ItJustMeandYou That was uncalled for bud.

[ItJustMeandYou]

@dshaw8771 i dont mean it in a bad way i call everyone douches and anyway he's the one that got the wrong county it even says wessex in the title :L

[tommyj100]

@CarboKill Hence why its about Wessex.

[CarboKill]

@tommyj100

Yeah that was the point of my comment. This song supports wessex.

[TheVideoGenre]

@CarboKill "Yeah that was the point of my comment. This song supports wessex." Well, not really seeing as in a previous comment you said you thought wessex was west essex. If your going to make up a lie, at least make it a good one? Oh dear.

[CarboKill]

@TheVideoGenre

I love how serious you take the internet, faggot. ^^

[TheVideoGenre]

@CarboKill Ooo, WOW! You know some one is mature when they're using words like faggot! How old are you? 8? Awhh, Bless. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings then. Diddums.

[namenotshannah]

@CarboKill its not essex, its winchester...

[CarboKill]

@namenotshannah

And I give a shit because...?

[namenotshannah]

@CarboKill because Wessex isn't Essex. Idiot

[MaddieBishop]

@namenotshannah you'd think the sign saying 'winchester' would give an clue....and it sounds even as if it's from wessex anyway...no london accents here!! :L

[omygeebuz]

lol
