    Hey Frank, just wanted to let you know that this song helped me climb out of depression. It was one of the few things that helped me to get outside each day. Thanks, you beautiful human.

    Frank Turner has an amazing singing voice! I've traveled some distances to see him and the band and I'm 77, years old that is

    "I'm building bonfires of my vanities and doubts to get warm just like everybody else" has to be one of my favourite lyrics ever. My God Frankie boy can write a tune!

    This is beautiful. I saw him live a few years ago, during a hard time during my bachelor thesis and struggeling with false friends and colleagues. Now I 've returned to this song, because I'm struggeling with my master thesis, my plans for my own company and some low self esteem. Thank you Frank! I have the FT/HC - Symbol on my arm. I look at it from time to time and know, that I will make it. :) I am not designed to be alone!

  • @DirtyBoySingToGod

    Frank hits home with some very hard truths about the things i need to face in my life, in this one. It really is that easy though, with the correct attitude :)

      I love boy of them as musicians and a couple of years ago Jamie was playing Cardiff on my friends (who’s also a fan) Birthday. Anyway, in between songs Jamie was shaking hands, talking to the front row, taking/making dedications so I worked my way to the front and asked Jamie to wish my friend a happy birthday and dedicate a song to him. So Jamie steps up to the mic and says ‘This next song is for Chez, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOTHER F*****!’ I was so happy, I got back to where I had left him and he’d gone outside for a cigarette. Still both great musicians Frank and Jamie.

    If I don't listen to this song at least once a day, I have horrible day. My youngest daughter already has tickets for Franks's show in Jacksonville. She's a freshman at FSU in Tallahassee, which is less than 3 hours away. College would suck if all you came home from it was an education. I hope she has a great time!

    Not sure this song was intended for six year olds but this song made me feel normal long before I even got my dyspraxia diagnosis. Trust me for someone who is very obviously different being told that you're essentially just like everybody else is the most amazing thing!

    I was on the bus home (to probably watch some crap on tv or netflix) when this song came on my ipod, on shuffle and I pressed the bell to stop the bus and gave some friends who I haven't spoken to in a few months a call and we went out for a drink on a lovely sunny day..

  • @carltonrichards103
    @carltonrichards103 11 років тому +1

    We only get like 20 sunny days a year here in England, the rest of them I feel obligated to hide indoors away from the rain and listen to Frank Turner.
    p.s - Like only 5 of those will probably be "lovely" sunny days

    It's about creating an image and defining oneself based on preconceived notions etc. putting up a front, someone is trying to shape his image and get him to be something other than just natural, just another person, a "regular guy"

    Lyrics
    You're not as messed up as you think you are
    Your self-absorption makes you messier.
    Just settle down and you would feel a whole lot better.
    Deep down you're just like everybody else.
    She's not as pretty as she thinks she is
    Just picture her after she's had kids.
    I bet she sits at home and listens to The Smiths.
    Deep down she's just like everybody else.
    So why are you sat at home?
    You're not designed to be alone.
    You just got used to saying No.
    So get up, get down and get outside.
    Because it's a lovely sunny day,
    And you hide yourself away.
    You've only got yourself to blame.
    Get Up, Get down and get outside.
    He's not as clever as he likes to think
    He's just ambitious with his arguing.
    He's crap at dancing,
    And he can't hold his drink.
    Deep down he's just like everybody else.
    I'm not as awesome as this song makes out-
    I'm angry, underweight and sketching out.
    I'm building bonfires of my vanities and doubts to get warm.
    Just like everybody else.
    So why are you sat at home?
    You're not designed to be alone.
    You just got used to saying No.
    So get up, get down and get outside.
    Because it's a lovely sunny day,
    And you hide yourself away.
    You've only got yourself to blame.
    Get Up, Get down and get outside.
    Amy thinks her life is lacking in drama.
    So she fell for horoscopes, faith-healing and Karma.
    She's so wrapped up in her invisible armour
    She'll never grow into herself.
    And it's ok thinking me and all my friends are just wasters.
    But all the same I can still see through her airs and graces.
    I guess she's scared her life won't leave any traces.
    Kind of like everyone else.
    And that's not the point anyways.
    Oh darling,
    I felt compelled to call you up to say:
    So why are you sat at home?
    You're not designed to be alone.
    You just got used to saying No.
    So get up, get down and get outside.
    Because it's a lovely sunny day,
    And you hide yourself away.
    You've only got yourself to blame.
    Get Up, Get down and get outside.
    Get Up, Get down and get outside.
    Get Up, Get down and get outside.
    Get Up, Get down and get outside.
    Get Up, Get down and get outside.
    Get Up, Get down and get outside.
