Frank Turner - Photosynthesis

[tasilbhurn]

great song this!!! Although, the school hes visited is obviously for posh kids. pause this video at T.I. 0:48 they have even done a board presentation on "Commoners" .. well done kids .. whaat whaat.

[RoisinMcNeillmusic]

Hey guys i did a Frank Turner on my channel, have a wee look! :)

[ECHD346]

funniest vidio ever. look at 0:48 and 0:54 !! haha teacher dancing and little kid putting fingers in his ears! :)

[carolmery]

I'm seriously in love with this song! I can not stop listening to it!

[wisdomtrek]

He's making the next bunch of rebels! Hehehehe :)))

[rockersbymyside]

how long has he been making music?? it has an old school sound, and its tight. i been hoping that the "60's" sound quality would come back into my generation! the black keys did an awsome job with that too!!

[ConwayS87]

@rockersbymyside He was in a hardcore band (Million Dead) from 2000ish to 2005 then went solo.

[1leviasten]

this man's awsome!!!!

[SundrakerMusic]

Dudes,

check out our music! 

[MrGreendaymaniac]

saw him supporting greenday in 2010, didnt know who he was, awesome man

[PHILZONE2000]

61 people are being annoying trolls, god i hate people who do stuff like that... but then i listen to frank turner

[inlovewithscones]

I love the channel name

[jlehman92]

Where can I download The Second Three Years? Having trouble finding it. (I know, I should just go out and buy it.)

[XxdeathpenaltyxX]

Guys, lets all stop comparing Frank Turner and God. Of Course, we all know he's amazing and everything, but he just isn't Frank. <3

[rekosmithy]

 if you do not like this, you really need to go and die, literally thumbs up if you agree.

[warwager101]

I have the biggest grin on my face when I see these kids and their interest in music...

[jonorocks13]

hahahahahahaha love it!

[XxXGodsMistakeXxX]

WOW, he comes from Meonstoke, and his mum taught me, and his album was released on the 6th of June my birthday ;O

[Chiquitadudep]

I love this video. Dead good,

[TheDarKnightxXx]

JUSTIN BIEBER

[XxXGodsMistakeXxX]

@TheDarKnightxXx is gay

[TheDarKnightxXx]

@XxXGodsMistakeXxX I'm not gay I had sex with a girl

[XxXGodsMistakeXxX]

@TheDarKnightxXx no you posted Justin Bieber... is gay

[TheDarKnightxXx]

@XxXGodsMistakeXxX And how does that mean that I like cocks in and around my bum?

[XxXGodsMistakeXxX]

@TheDarKnightxXx u dont get it,

u said Justin Bieber and i said is gay

[lhutton93]

@TheDarKnightxXx "I'm not gay I had sex with a girl" ..... Best comment on YouTube, ever.

[lladsbid]

Love when the harmonica comes in

Kinda reminds me of the Pogues, only not as drunk and Irish

[paintingwithfeet]

@benyhavers I love Frank turner, but i was just wondering who you like better because there is always oppportunity to find new muscians to like :)

[trixapete]

I do quite like him.. but he's quite shouty

[WUMIBO]

MY BEANS ARE MASSIVE

[randomchild81]

I bet if he came to our school, only the GCSE Music students would be allowed to do this. That's always the way it is. They were going to get to meet Billy Bragg a while back, and I wasn't! Which was an outrage. But in the end they decided to do something different. Hmmph.

[OliverosJoshua]

Brett! wheres jermaine?

[XxXGodsMistakeXxX]

@OliverosJoshua flight of the conchords ;)

[TheZombieRainbow]

I love this song...and the music video is really cute XD

[randomnessdog132456]

Frank Turner has distracted me from my bio homework once again : )

[DOGGEATDOGG03]

@randomnessdog132456 lol when i first saw Frank Turner in the fall of 2010, we were only like 5 yards from each other at 9:30 Club in Washington, DC. I was completely blown away by this song, and yeah from there afterward my physic grade started to decline, but my love for this song has not.

[OliTheGuitarist]

If Frank Turner came to my school, about 8 people would show up to listen to him, because everyone likes Ed fucking Sheeran.

[auza13]

wtf, i thought this was supose to teach me about photosynthesis!! lol, but this is cool

[susiecreamcheeese]

I love you Frank Turner. I'm 62 and I won't sit down or shut up or grow up!!!!!

[jonnyryanmusic]

The beginning of this reminds me of flogging molly - if i ever leave this world alive.

[specialsAKAjack]

1.36 no one wants to play bass?

[Codeable10]

I never new trey from south park played bass

[OhThisCharmingMan]

@Codeable10 You're thinking of Matt mate, Trey's the blonde one without glasses.

[GR1MDAGG3R]

Wishing frank turner would visit me at my school :(

[RsCrunchiness]

Why has Frank Turner not been Knighted yet??? Doesn't make sense if you ask me..

[LukeSarazine]

Goddammit Frank Turner is so fucking good.

[mockingbirdgun]

good music... eton toff...

[anmaree]

@mockingbirdgun He was at Eton on a scholarship, and from what I gather didn't fit in remotely which is the source of his political views

[mockingbirdgun]

@anmaree Fair play

[stephie186]

just had the most amazing night!! just been to see him in manchester :) IT WAS AWESOME!! and he did this song twice and got us ALL to join in it was so so so so good!! :)

[AliceItoko]

@stephie186 I was there too :D Was awesome. I love how he did about 5 more songs than we were made to think. :D

[clcsqueejy04]

This is probably one of the more awesomely adorable music videos there is.

[sirphreak]

Seeing him tomorrow in Glasgow!

[gaz118lemon]

[22charliewarlie]

[steventudor]

Yep, I'm going Tuesday too!

[DMiller2062]

[CheeseShamWow]

[mattrabeauthehero]

@CheeseShamWow Heartless bastard mother fucker best describes me

[sandall2001]

The best thing about JUST discovering FT is, there is the complete back catalogue to catch up on!!! Just got the album this is on today. BRILLIANT. TY FT!!

[youngnutboi]

i remember when i saw frank turner a couple years ago, he opened up for offspring. his highest vid had like 200,000, now im stoked for him that he has a million views!

[burgerpimp65]

Simply Awsome.

[MoonlightLady1111]

Sounds like Against Me!

[nixlix26]

@MoonlightLady1111

Tom Gable and Against Me! have always been one of my favorites.

[RichLucky13]

Frank Turner Rules!

and Wow, check out that Gary J Armstrong guy on the video responce, he's pretty darn Awsome too! I'm liking the way music is going these days!! :D

[rinkeysribber]

@RichLucky13 i saw Gary J Armstrong supporting Frank at Northampton roadmender, I thinmk they must be friends. mate you should see him live fucking awesome!!! ive seen Frank 24 times and by far the best support ive seen. look at his channel for the roadmender gig.

[RichLucky13]

@rinkeysribber yeah seen frank 14 times this year, omg I would love to of been there though!!! I checked out Gary Armstrongs channel and the gig videos. Absolutely Superb! I sooo hope they do a gig together again soon! FT & GJA are Definitely the best musicians I've hear in a long time!

[SimpleImogen]

SO MUCH LOVE FOR FRANK TURNER

[goofed86]

Frank Turner is fucking awful

[Sorentoischill]

@goofed86 good to have an opinion. But cut the swearing, because it makes you look like a child... If you not already are one

[hem147]

@goofed86 i guess you think oxygen is awful too?

[luvbun94]

I think Frank Turner rivals Dave Grohl for 'Nicest Man In Rock'

Can't wait for Wembley!

[PeaceLoveandMovies]

i know most of the comments on here are about frank turner himself but.... that drummer's head is the baldest head i have EVER seen. and i dont mean that as a bad thing

[nholmes1372]

how the fuck is this supposed to help me on my bio test in the morning

[jimemarsden]

@nholmes1372 dude im in the same position fuck this awesome music

[PeaceLoveandMovies]

@nholmes1372 write down all the lyrics to this song and draw a nice picture of frank, it's the only way to go!

[treeformlol]

@nholmes1372 By putting you in a good mood so you are happy about your day? Lol.

[jaywall96]

@nholmes1372 It dosent it helps you in life :D

[smige2]

@nholmes1372 I used to have a Biology teacher who was always telling us to 'grow up'. I wish I'd known this song back then, it would have been so appropriate to scribble on my exercise book.

[LSAudioSheffield]

ANYONE IN SHEFFIELD TONIGHT??

SMILING IVY ARE PLAYING THE O2 ACADEMY FOR THEIR HOME COMING GIG ON THE PARTY SHOP CARTEL TOUR!

[Chrazzari]

When I was at school, I always hated those jumpers (made me look fat) but looking at these kids with them is cute :P

[OoshayweoO]

I had to write an essay about growing up and whatever, and I wrote that the reader should look up this song. My teacher actually quoted the song when grading so I assume she looked up it. Heck yes.

[Chrazzari]

@OoshayweoO awesome :D

[mxabel92]

October 11th, Frank Turner and Andrew Jackson Jihad at the Glass House! Can't wait.

[SirNinjaMonkey]

I think I already commented on this video. Oh well, I forget.

This is a great video

and a great musician

But most of all it's a great song.

[mrthomaslimer]

Franky you are the best man! never getting sick of this geared up tune.

[joemccorriston]

1,000,000 views!!!! YES FRANK! So proud.

[TheChuckaChuck]

This song always cheers me up!

[mindfreak061]

i probably count for at least 15,000 of these views

[pr0ct3r]

this song has hit 1m! Congrats Mr Turner, all the best!

[Smallenface]

Frank Turner is punk

[TheNighTawk]

There was a student revolution at the this school the following day when a teacher told the students to sit down and be quite in class.

[benzz007]

@TheNighTawk ha ha ..quality comment

[mcjprr]

almost at 1,000,000 views :)

[georgecc96]

26th November live Manchester - CANT WAIT!

[GCadman225]

What a great video.

[addictxkid]

This song will never get old.

[ThePwnmister]

@addictxkid but it wont grow up

[dinkus92]

49 people are fungi.

[genderbenderphile]

@dinkus92 Most fungi don't photosynthesise...

[genderbenderphile]

@dinkus92 Most fungi don't photosynthesise...

[dinkus92]

@genderbenderphile Right. That was the joke. Fungi don't photosynthesize, so they would dislike the song. Okay? All cleared up?

[genderbenderphile]

@dinkus92 Well, yeah, but he's saying photosynthesis is a bad thing, sitting around not doing anything with your life... so surely '49 people are plant-based life forms' would've been better...?

I would now like to say I'm not actually being serious or arguing about anything, it's more just something that occurred to me as I was flicking through.

Pleasure to meet you, fellow Frank fan :)

[dinkus92]

@genderbenderphile Sorry about the curtness, but you really can't tell if someone is being antagonistic or not on Youtube. And, honestly, I just found out about Frank and haven't really listened to the lyrics yet. Perhaps I should.

[genderbenderphile]

@dinkus92 Not to worry, I have the same problem. You really should, his lyrics are often pretty clever, and usually make epic sing-alongs. Y'know, in the car, windows down, top of your voice singing :D

[K0WALSKA]

Frank Turner has adorable dimples.

[K0WALSKA]

Frank Turner has adorable dimples.

[s0dropdeadugly]

im sorry for spam but i just ask one favour. Music has kept me going through the rough times and i just ask that just one person could appreciate mine. if its not too much to ask, please take a look. thankyou. ps. frank turner rocks!

[Marcusbentedwinston]

Love love Loooovveee it!! Only found out about Frank when he played at reading 11 and already I'm in love! :D

[jakbouer]

my name is jack and i love the penis. lol. that's why I'm listening to this song,

[PeaceLoveandMovies]

i may not want to grow up, but i would sure like to grow old with frank turner...

[ChrisFossss]

bestival!

[mycatisfatnanner]

Seeing him on Octoboer 27th! Im so excited!

[Kellyjaneparty]

@mycatisfatnanner toronto?



[mycatisfatnanner]

@Kellyjaneparty Nope, in Detroit

[Jonaal24242]

Hadn't heard of Frank Turner until I saw them at Leeds festival this year. Absolutely brilliant!

[ProblematiqueRoblarr]

@Jonaal24242 Exactly the same! :D

[dirtyrussiandoll]

so good i actually downloaded his music legally

[jlyEchelonMCRmy]

This has got to be one of the best songs I've seen live! In fact Frank is one of the best support acts I've seen. He managed to get Wembley Stadium singing along!!!

[MultiAmii]

Wish he could of came to my school, such an amazing song.

[Thegigglecompany]

Loveyouuuuuuuuuuu FRANK.

[Swingfinger]

his songs have the uncanny ability to make an instant connection with the listener

[helmsno1]

i worked and lived at that school, and some of those kids are such little cunts. but some of them are champions. sweet song though!

[jogga16]

would of like this if the kids werent in the video.... cant stand kids !

[TheNofootcanman]

@jogga16 TINY HANDS!!1

[2vtwj2]

LEEDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wllychng21]

lol 0:53 rock n' roll is not for everybody I guess

[joemaskrey]

READING !

[lammtom4]

READING!!!!! I won't sit down, and i won't shut up, but most of all, I will not grow up!

[SuperSam101011]

LEEDS FEST!!!

[EdmundoLOL]

LEEDS! :D happy days!

[KattyWatty1]

READING!!!!

[thechosennerf]

Why are there so few girls in this primary class, I wonder? :)

[Roxyy71]

wappaaaaa!!!!!!!...mis hijas cada vez que oyen Photosynthesis bailan como locas...kises 

[lorinjordan]

This is on love ire and song.

[yumcarafrapp]

wow, a lot of boys in that class.

[desoge]

Anyone know what album this is from?

[HorrorMonday]

lucky kids :)

[Ruzgutty]

Lowlands was f*ckin' nice!

[Indica799]

What a genius video, so simple and yet a major reminder of how absorbant and creative we all started off when we were kids and how easily that is taken for granted and lost. Imagine if an awesome musician went to every primary school, played proper music with proper instruments...creating excitement and flaring passion over something so worthwhile should be promoted and played from the rooftops. Good job :-)

[stuboy19]

Almost a million viewers. Jeaso!

[StroopwafelProducts]

lowlands, anyone?



[vandeballengevallen]

@StroopwafelProducts noorderzon in groningen. same day they came to make a party with us.

[uppalsingh123]

a few of my friends and i went to see Frank live in Newcastle!...and my mate battled a woman for a set list! he should have hit her, but didnt!!!! he got it though! and i got his autograph!

[Geetinator]

My brother got me into Frank's music. Thanks Jack ^_^

[georgecc96]

This song is going to be big !!!

[Christoffuckers]

i disliked this video, even though i like this song, you cunts.

[Tina42Ky]

Ok, the words to this song gave me a thought, I may be ill, but I will not be wasting my time thinking about when I die, although I struggle daily, live life to the fullest and never grow up~ lmao coming from a 46 yr old woman some might find that funny, but who cares! BTW, I Love Frank Turner!!!

[richardperkins83]

@Tina42Ky hell girl im 47 still young and lovin franks lines of wisdom lol what a talented guy ,,, going to see him in brum nov 24th 2011 with me daughter

[vesparunner]

@Tina42Ky You are 100% right :)

[pibble123]

saw him at bella also, ass kamicking!!!

[ellzzz204]

Frank Turner is AMAZING!!!! saw him at Belladrum a few days ago and he was one of my favourite acts. Me and my friends were right at the front in the middle for his performance! :-)

[hollyroseanna]

Loved this song at Belladrum........I'm 46 and was singing at the top of my voice!

[koananann]

This song is soooo good. And he looks really friendly and nice

[TheElephant79]

One, two, one, two, three, four !

[TheCarduchi77]

Seen him at Belladrum: Tartan Heart festival 3 days ago, was unbelieveable, i had never heard him before, and now that i have, i cant get enough of him! Hes just fantastic!

[chickawhatnow]

great song awful video

[cuntflappers]

Going to see him in October, i can't wait!! :D

[fuduzan5562]

Holy SHIT that's a lot of blonde kids.

[Metallicake]

Great lyrics!

Fuck growing up.
