LYRICS
Might be slightly different i tend to change a few words when get into it ,
Looking back on this life it's hard to understand ,how time just seems to fly when you are an older man
whatever happened to all those dreams I had and all those crazy plans
I never really got the chance to do, they just slipped right through my hands .
Through my hands through my hands
Looking back on all I've learned I still find it hard to tell , if there really is a heaven or if there really is a hell .
It's an age old conversation that's been had since dawn began , but you just seem to spend more time on it when you're an older man ,
an older man an older man
and this could be the last song, the final swan song, before the curtain call
I hope I played my part well for I know so well there will be no encores ,
I often wonder what it is that we are all craving for, some kind of justification now our time is getting short ,
is it intelligence or arrogance that makes us say there must be more
we can't accept this could be it, and it leaves us so unsure
They say that wisdom comes with age but that's not always the case
and you'd be a fool to judge a wise man just by the lines upon his face
I know i've done some stupid things some things I can't forget
and no time left to try to put them right is the one thing I regret ,
and this could be the last song, the final swan song, before the curtain call
I hope I played my part well for I know so well there will be no encores ,
Wow 👏 I teared up when listening to this song. This is a very beautiful song. Your one of my favorite singer's.
Amazing. Just amazing. I believe what we are all craving is love

Hi animator dude
“they say that wisdom comes with age but that’s not always the case. You’d be a fool to judge a wise man by the lines upon his face” this is just brilliant
Perfect. Not a wasted lyric or even a missed or out of place syllable.
💯💯💯
Yes, I loved those lyrics, frank is a talented dude
It made me cry, because not many understand this and just go blindly by the "wisdom comes with age" saying.
Such a beautiful song with such powerful lyrics. It's a masterpiece for me.

This is so beautiful :”)
Hey Dodie, how are you doing? 😊 Big fan of your music! 🌸
omgomgggggg i literally screamed upon seeing your comment!! huhu good to seee you here!! i love youuuur music
So are you
So are you and your voice/music 😩😍🔥
Hello Dodieee~! ;)
I just turned 18. And I really am terrified of growing up. But this song really made me think. Youth is truly wasted on the young. And I dont want that to be true.
Hey Katie. We don't know each other and we're probably way too many miles away, but I just wanted to tell you this.
Reaching these age milestones is always scary. I'm 21, just a little older than you.
But if I could go back 3 years I would say to myself: hey, girl, don't waste your time on something that will not matter some months or years from now. Also, please, pleeeeease, tell people how you feel. It could be seeking therapy if you need, or actually saying how appreciative you are of a friend, or just say you're in love with that person, shoot your shot.
I once read "if you don't tell that person you love them before they go, they'll never know they could have a reason to stay". And that goes for every aspect of life.
Going back to the age thing, you'll be scared of the 30's in the near future. It's just another milestone.
Better yourself, take good care of people around you, exercise, work on soft skills not only towards a degree, maybe start a business if you want. And also relax, go to a karaoke, travel. Make memories on your own and with your friends and family too.
And in case you want a long-distance friend, count me in 😊
Much love from Brazil
I hope you get everything you want in life

Hi, this is going to be a little weird but my father is wondering if he could use your song on his funeral. He is getting older and loves the song, he still listens to your covers and songs while making dinner. He is planning his funeral because he wants to be sure it'll be his own funeral with his favorite songs. It would mean alot. PS because of my father I descovered you and I love everything you do!
Love from Belgium Frank! 💛
of course he can but don't be in a hurry.
hoe is je vader bro hopelijk is hij nog bij ons
Fuck man, you didn’t have to make me cry like that
Wow
He's liked almost every comment.. this man is truly a force of good

@@leotiritilli9698 The only one needing help is you.
@lol nah just an edgelord that thinks all boomers are shitty people.
I’m not afraid of growing old. I’m afraid of how I’m going to spend the time growing older. I’m currently in my junior year in high school, about to be a senior. I feel like I had missed out on a lot of opportunities, but I also like to think of all the amazing things I’ve done with the amazing people too. I have hope for my future and if there is anything I learned it’s to make the first move because it’s better to try and fail then to not try at all.
Just remember u create the future!
Enjoy where your at right now. Put the most into it you can. Give yourself worth remembering in 60 years. Cheers.
Then start your dream life today. You lost so small in comparison. It is not late.
Same here. I'm a junior, i feel so young. but at the same time i feel like time is moving faster. Like what i want to do will soon become unattainable because I'm just stuck in one place, letting myself get older, but my experience and skills remaining the same... :/
You have your whole life ahead of you. So many hobbies to pick up or try out, so much to learn, so many yet to meet. Try to live without regrets.
I just saw your video and wanted to tell you how much it touched my heart. Your passion and love for music is evident in every note you play, it's amazing to see how you convey such deep emotions through this. You are truly an inspiration and I hope you continue to find joy in your music. And since we're almost there, Merry Christmas!❣
Much love from Italy.
I’ve often struggled with suicidal thoughts and feelings, but this song makes me want to grow old. I want to be able to tell my grandkids stories about what life was like when I was younger, I want to serve a purpose in this world. This song is truly beautiful 💕
Hey I must admit I teared up hard while reading your comment, I too dealt with suicidal thoughts some time back, I even went as far as to act in those thoughts and it wasn’t until I was in the hospital wondering if I was going to die that night that I started thinking back and seeing the beauty in the life that I had been living, I was so focused on everything that would go wrong for me that I could never pay mind to all the wonderful things that I had at the time, life is a precious gift and it took extreme measures for me to be able to realize that, it’s truly unfortunate that this happens to so many people nowadays, all I can say is keep making the best of what you have, I don’t know what situations you experience in your daily life but keep that mentality of wanting to grow old and have children and grandchildren. There’s a quote out there that states “life is ironic, it takes depression to know happiness, it takes stress to understand calm and it takes absence to value presence”. A tough truth to swallow but I have found this to be true.
you’re getting there :3 one day at a time 💛 we’re all in this together, even when times get rough
It will all be better. Love & blessings
No matter what happens, things will ALWAYS work out and be okay. ALWAYS
so much love to you all
Being a teenager and listening to this song made me feel like maybe one day i will also become old man who has nothing but memories but I hope i will have enough memories
As a teenager it also made me think about how many things I would end up regretting if I don't do them
As a 21 going on to 22 yr old, this terrifies me.
Another teenager here! I hope I can find an audience like this that is willing to listen to me play, or talk, or do whatever. I also hope that I learn to make great music like this man
As a teenager it makes me think it makes me scared but also fills me with peace at the same time. I have very mixed emotions.
YEAH UM- rip the childhood im still kinda living
This is the most beautiful thing I’ve heard in a while. Don’t think I’ve sobbed this hard in a while as well thank you frank
this song sounds like a warm old sweater during a cold rainy day,
beautiful.
I found this channel today and I've listened to only two of his songs. I'm now convinced that this man is one of the greatest artists to ever live
I'm not even 18 yet, but i still think often about what kind of man I'm going to be when I grow older, and time just seems to go by so damn fast already, it's pretty terrifying to be honest. Anyway, just wanted to say that this song is absolutely priceless
Same here buddy, same here.
I’m 17 about to be 18, and I constantly feel like my life is in an uncertain direction. I know that sounds obvious but I mean it in a way where things seem out of my control. I want to work hard but have no motivation, and it seems like everyday I dig myself deeper into a hole of denial that I still have more time. When I was younger I could push things aside and play before I work because with all the time I had nothing seemed to matter. Now that college is coming I really don’t know how to handle it, even with getting into my schools. I wish I had some real guidance but I know I need to start doing things on my own. Even though I’m still so young I like to think I truly understand where Frank is coming from, and it’s nice to know I’m not alone
@@bigjohnson6464 I'm in an almost identical situation man. Same age and everything haha. Just push to get your shit done man. This too shall pass
@@bigjohnson6464 I know this might sound like a loaded interrogation, but are you afraid of dying?
I’m 19 myself feeling a similar way. If I may, what I’ve learned from men much wiser than myself, live life without regret. Live for good and let yourself be able to look on your past without regret or guilt. Anyway take care man and good luck in your life
Love this Frank you made my new favourite song!
He is a hidden gem! Genuine music makes genuine emotions
Oh great the checkmarks are here to spam the top of the comment section
I’m 17 and dealing with so much depression I can’t even fathom it. However watching this video really made me cherish my life even more. Even through all the sadness, I just need a good cry to let it all out. I need to keep pushing forward, because if I don’t I’ll just die. And I might as well die doing the most that I can.
We're not here by chance. We've been placed here to glorify God. No other reason.
As a wretched sinner, I placed my hope in the saving grace of Jesus Christ's death on the cross.
You and I will never please God with our good deeds. Repent of your sins and live for Christ, and your life will be transformed.
Let not your hope in the afterlife be a "I've got my fingers crossed" hope, but an "I have a 100% assurance" hope.
I dont know you but have a virtual hug *hugs*
A good cry does wonders. All the love and peace I have to you. And hopefully joy as well
Omg thank you, all of you guys for all the kind words 🥺🥺❤️✨ this honestly made my night, so so much better and less lonely. I may not know you guys in real life, or personally, but just know your words mean a lot to me, thank you
You got this. There’s so much ahead of us, however sometimes we feel so overwhelmed and just tired of life. I usually think dying or just ending my life would just solve the problem. It’s such a dark place to be in. However, every single thing that makes me laugh or happy everyday makes me wonder if taking my life would change anything. The little things do the most impact. You got this. Much love ❤️
Hi Frank! Just found this song- listened to it for the first time, and I honestly think you are the best artist I have ever heard. You sound perfect 🤍
Reminds me of some of the songs I listened to before leaving for the Army.
Thank you.
“This could be my last song

Read this comment as he sang that and my heart cannot take these emotions rn.
Just had my cousin who I was very close with pass away. I was teaching him guitar and since his passing my connection to music has been strained but I just came across this song and it made me so pensive and I want to devote myself to music again. Thank you so much.
As a young girl, 15, this makes my heart cry. This is so beautiful. I’ll make sure I make the most of my life for you Frank, and I will learn this song when I’m older.
aw this is so cuteeeee

Imagine if we didn't have UA-cam, we would't have had the privelege to witness such talent. Mainstream media/Hollywood only entertains younger artists and even have a shelf-life for them, once they're past a certain age, it's on to the newer, younger act. But that system disallows us from listening to authentic experiences of people at different stages of their lives, such as Frank's who so wholesomely sings about his perpective of life as an older individual. Truly marvelous.

@@classiccj2569 it's strange how that's true. I guess it's because of the differences in our expressions and words?
Even three years later I come back to it. I guess it's sort of... fear. An unsettling feeling that I spend my time on wrong things, and can't calm my mind down to simply rest, let alone do something productive, but spending more time not even fixing things, no, it's rather sitting and thinking how would I fix them.
Melancholy, I guess.

This hit kinda hard because I’m afraid of growing up.
I was real afraid of growing up when I was younger. I’m sure you hear that life gets harder. I heard it a lot.
spent a lot of my childhood dreading it too. So much that I didn’t get much chance to really live it.
Life doesn’t have to be a ticking clock.
It can be a world creativity and imagination. People stick close to people who manage to see things through the eyes of someone newer to the world than them, I think.
And everything grows. But sometimes growing can bring freedom. Like a caterpillar getting wings.
So don’t worry about it being hard. I know you’re capable. You got this.
not only growing up but i’m afraid of death. not that i am an atheist cuz i pray everyday and i believe in God. But what if, what if there really is no other side? what if there’s just...nothing? what would happen to my consciousness? what would happen to me? i don’t want this to end. life is precious. i would love to live forever even though i know life is hard and impossible to live forever but, i just can’t accept the fact that everything, all of this will go away, and there’s nothing i can do to stop it. i don’t know what to do. i can’t sleep every night because of this. i don’t want the curtain to call :(
@@kyleehyo4797 the fact that, I'm not scared of death. But I fear that all of my memories that I shared with my love ones, will be long gone when my time comes :'(
@@kyleehyo4797 I think the thing you just wrote about is related to being afraid of growing up, but also a whole issue on its own. Coming to terms with what you already said that you know: Everything, everyone, all of it will end and it is not in your power to stop it. That is probably the thing that makes life the most precious right? Idk, I don't have the answers but I feel both of your comments too. I'm working on coming to terms with getting older and while I accept our deaths conceptually, I'm hung up on how I'm going to navigate the world when my loved ones are gone, and my body changing as the years go by. One thing that reassures me *sometimes* is to remember that billions of us have gone through that journey before us. They've had the same thoughts as us and passed on. If they've done it and were fine, we will be too. Don't lose sleep over this, remember @JayBeka 's words "I spent a lot of my childhood dreading it too. So much that I didn't get much chance to really live it." Time spent having fun is not time wasted!
having this video in my recommendations at 6 in the morning hits, a song that we needed without knowing that we needed it.

Hey, this song came in my recommendeds and it really touched my heart.. it's beautiful. And you can sing, it's great!! Thank you so much for this piece and I really hope you get to make more songs because they're great.
Aw man I didn’t think I would cry today. I’m just 15 but I really struggle with the thought of mortality and death. That we live such short lives and they can just end at any moment. This song is great, thank you Frank
Instead of focusing on what could happen eventually, just try to live your best day to day life, doing what helps you grow and the things that you love 👍
I believe Epictetus said it best “A man who fears death is not really alive” do what you can with the time you have left. If life was eternal than the experiences we have would be meaningless. :)
im only 21 but 15 feels way too long ago and i wish i could go back. please cherish it :)
I feel the same.. Im really struggling with I don’t know.. I feel like I’ve wasted the last couple of years. Im 17, and people always say “Cherish those years as much as you can.” But what can you do? The time goes by the same even if you are conscious of it. This thought always was bouncing around in my skull, and all it did was bring me sadness that I wasn’t doing enough to cherish the moments, that it all would end. I think all you can do is just live. You shouldn’t have to be forced to cherish anything. Just live, just be.
Someday we’ll all face death, and after that, be judged by God. We ought to spend our time on Earth preparing our souls. You should speak with a Catholic priest about what you need to do to have your sins forgiven. The best thing you can do right now is open your heart to Christ, and to start praying the Rosary.
This feels like a reminder not to waste your life because at some point it will be too late
I'm 16 years old, this song made me think about things that I had not thought before, thank you so much, your music is beautiful
Same brooo
Same...16 as well..
Makes me really want to stop wasting my life and stop constantly worrying over the past or future.
Life really does flash by and it's scary.
There will be a time when your family dies, your pets, your friends, just about everything. So cherish it.
Cherish everything, even the bad things. You never know what happens, after every argument you have with someone you love, tell them you love them before they leave or go to sleep. It doesn't matter if you're angry at them, you dont know what'll happen to them, you'll always be thinking of the last thing you said.
So live life now and cherish your friends and family.

To say the world is ending is brave. If it wasn’t for covid 2020 would have been a rather ordinary year, the point of this is that time flies. Not that the world is “bad” or “ending”.

"Since dawn began" "i hope i played my part well" "intelligence or elligance" "you'd be a fool to judge an old man by the lines on his face." "I regret" This song hit home, you managed to get a 15 year old to stop and just watch how deep-rooted this was written, the end, how raw cut this is, how you seem to strung the strings with such care, I can tell what was put into this song, so much emotion, I caught myself looking back at where I came from, and how I managed to get here and this made me cry, and I don't do that often anymore. Your voice is so beautiful, and it has so much emotion behind it. Thank you for writing this Frank

Agreed.

I agree.
It’s 3am and I’ve been having trouble because of how anxious I am of growing older and facing the troubles that come with it but seeing this video and listening to you have such fondness for the life you’ve lived and an optimism for the uncertainty gives me a little bit more hope that maybe I’ll be okay too.
I’m turning 22 next month and I’m afraid I haven’t planned my life beyond this point so maybe I’ll just wing it until I can say I can sing my final song too.
They say if you want to make God laugh then tell him your plans.
Right there with you, turned 21 a few days ago, and i can barely get through a regular day with my ADHD, i feel like ill never amount to anything. Im sure we'll both get through our problems though, problems are only temporary after all :)
@@luukvanoijen7082 I just turned 18 the other week, and I am extremely scared too. I still have to finish high school and then enter college... and I'm scared. I have so much more to do. Even though the biggest chapter of my life: getting through elementary to high school just is about to end... it feels like it is just the beginning.
Me too man I relate to that. I have alot of difficulties with my own self that I wish i could change. I may be almost 16 but i still fear ill never be ready to have a future, and that theres nothing coming for me growing up because of the difficulties i have with myself. But, knowing that i have a good friend who actually talks to me and just doing what i love to do rly helps me want to live on. To experience those things again and keep making good memories. I guess what i can say is.. We shouldnt worry too much about the future. We will never know our outcome. And even if you feel like its the end of the road, it isnt actually over. You still have lots of time left on your hands and you have to make the best out of it. When you feel like you cant because of your mental state, rly try your best to find ways to help yourself, or get help. Anything is possible. Please keep trying. I am trying too, even though it can be tricky. :)
(Sry if i dont make the best sense, I feel like its abit hard to explain but youknoo)❤
Turning 22 in a few months and i feel the same way. For me it is a feeling of falling behind and wasting my time. But if you really think about it. There is nothing to fall behind. There is no measurement stick. It’s all in your head. What is most important is to figure out what makes you happy right now and everything will come in time. And even if you need to leave your comfort zone, who cares. If you don’t, then nothing will change.
Found this two years later, it made me cry, somehow I relate to this as the 20 year old I am, more than any other song ever. I've had some very rough last years and sometimes I feel like giving up on everything, but this song somehow relieved all of those feelings even if just for a few minutes, this song just tore through my soul in a way I can't even explain. Glad you're still alive and kicking, and hope you'll stay alive for many more years to come.
This feels like it belongs on 2008 youtube in the best way possible. I miss back when videos were just people sharing their passions. Thanks for reminding me of a better time, and lovely song.
frank's masterpiece combined with this comment made me tear up..
This song really have a sweet spot for me. The lyrics, the rhythm, the calming tone, everything is just perfect. This song made me feel emotions that I haven't been able to feel in a long time.

It must be proud to be an old man who can fit life into a beautiful song, a song that touches the soul..
I thought I wish I could understand the lyrics more deeply as a native speaker could... but regardless of my poor English, your song is fully enough touching my soul.. I don't know how to express in English, though.. so beautiful art.. from Korea.
I feel the same, you summarized what I’m thinking. But from Brasil.
i'm 16 years old and umm..... this made me think of how short our lives are and that we should just begin chasing our dreams . thank you so much Frank Watkinson 💖
You should ,
This is just absolutely beautiful. I can't describe what I felt after hearing this. I don't generally cry but this nearly brought a year to my eye. ❤
No Frank Just No.I Have Had Enough Of Crying For An Eternity Already.
And Yes You Played Your Part Very Well.
This song makes me happy for some reason. Thanks Frank!
I love your videos
Holy shit. This is like a crossover episode. Two of my favorite channels meeting
@@vijayraj3016 haha yeah such an iconic moment
This video was on the side recommended while i was watching ur video HAHA
Saaaaame. Total chills
Oh Frank, this song went straight to my heart and opened floodgates of tears... As a Woman whose getting nearer to the end than closer to the beginning I felt every word of this. You are a brilliant songwriter & I love your gentle voice and haunting guitar, such perfect accompaniment to these lyrics. Thank you for sharing yourself with us, may we all meet up on the other side of the journey in a far better place than here. ❤️🩹
I couldn't just scroll past this without leaving a comment. Your song made me cry and made my day. So much wisdom and tenderness. I wish you all the very best. Sending love xx
There needs to be a “love” button
I have one lol!.
@@FrankWatkinson frank you are killing me lol
A button wouldn’t do it justice. A comment may be as close as we can get on this platform.
That man describes all my fears about being old and all my thoughts going through my head but still it sounds so peaceful... it's like a grandfather telling you about the world.
I have never appreciated a youtube recommendation as much as this...
Watching this on Christmas Eve, I now have tears streaming down my face. This year has not been an easy one and this truly brought me a new perspective as I currently decide what I want to do after high school. Thank you, Frank, I didn't know I needed this.
I feel like this isn’t only just a song, but a lesson. Look, I’m only 15 and I still have my whole life ahead of me, but this song has made me realize how important all the moments and experiences I’ve had in life are. All of the people I’ve met, all of the friends I’ve made, the family I was lucky enough to be born into, it’s all important. I’m glad to have heard this song, Im glad to be alive.
I completely agree
As someone also 15, I'm terrified of growing up and what actually lies ahead
I hope yours has been going well 💜
19 here, I don’t have much more experience but a bit. I can say I’m going through it right now but it helps to zoom out. The things I’m facing now will be memories in 5 years, and the things happening then will be what I’ve been both looking forward and dreading. But just remember to keep the big picture in mind as it grows as you get older
I AINT READING ALLAT💯💯💯
mines not going well cuz i failed 8th grade twice and i don't even know how my life is going to be afterwards. Knowing that my family and friends see that I'm a loser and a lazy bum, and also not quite interactive as my peers, a lot of people doubt of me of who i am and if i'm going to amount to anything in life.
I'm kinda nervous and curious about how i am able to stand up by myself if my family is not there anymore.
How i'm able to live by myself and to help others in need as well.
I'm 15 and i hope to see a better version of myself in the future.
tbh I'm just writing this cuz i'm bored and wanted test myself to write a small note in English.
You inspired me to pursue a dream Mr. Watkinson. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Absolutely amazing, your music moves so many people. Bless you 🤍
This a masterpiece. You can be sure that this song sums up the anguish and the tenderness of life itself.
You make the music I grew up hearing my father play on his own. Thank you, Frank for sharing with us all these years. Blessings to you
this song reminds me of my mother who passed in june. it brings so much emotion to me, please never stop making songs. you have a beautiful talent 🫶
This absolutely made my day better and made me realize how grateful I should be to be a young man this makes me understand to enjoy life because it doesn’t last forever
What an amazing song, the amount of talent you hold is mindblowing. Im glad you’re getting the recognition you deserve, even if it should’ve came sooner. Thank you for blessing my ears with this wonderful melody and amazing voice.
As someone who recently just entered his 30s, these lines really hit deep:
"What ever happened to all the dreams I had?
And all those crazy plans
I never got the chance to do,
they just slipped right through my hands."
The song truly has made me reconsider how I want to spend the rest of my life. Also, I've been playing guitar since I was a teenager, so I really hope I can live to your age to make my own swan song some day :) Thank you for this.
The beauty of life is you never know when it will be your last anything , until it is.
Bro Same I am turning 20 in november and I feel so bad cause I feel like I wasted my teenage years 😭
@@RJ-fw8ze there's almost nothing that you can do in your teens that you can't do in your 20s. Even school is so unimportant in the grand scheme of things. I'm not trying to talk down to you because I'm only 20, myself. We both have our whole lives in front of us.
If you spend your time regretting and looking back so early in life, all you'll do is curse your remaining years. Instead of thinking of what you should've done with the past 20 years, think about what you want to do with your next possibly 60-80 years 😊
@@2GoatsInATrenchCoat damn bro needed to hear this thank you
@@2GoatsInATrenchCoat one of the goats in the trench is YOU, nicely spoken my guy.
An entire life may be well lived from a single walk well walked.
This is absolutely beautiful. I’m 16, and I don’t really have any dreams of what to do in life. I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up, and in fact, I think I’m scared of growing up. Wonderful guitar playing. Listening to the lyrics made me swell up with tears. Thank you.
Same this song struck me from a place of unfulfillment. I’m not yet sure what would make me happy but this song helps to remind me that I should keep looking
Take it from someone who just graduated college and just recently figured out what they want to do: try everything you can. Research and experiment. Absorb it all like a sponge.
Just go out and do you man. I’m turning 21 this year and wish I can be a teen again sometimes. Spend it well and don’t have any regrets. You’ll have the good and the bad but as long as you tried and learned something from it, I think that’s okay. Enjoy man. We have so many more years ahead of us
@@TheRageCommenter awesome
study your books and have fun with your friends while your still in school.. once you get out of highschool don't be scared and think you have to do something immediately you have time to fuck up and choose the wrong career quite a few times really until your early 40s
Did anyone else find themselves focusing on his cheek lines at exactly the moment he said "you'd be a fool to judge a man by the lines upon his face"? I grinned from ear to ear and covered my mouth with my hand it was so perfect
Anyone else crying or is it just me?
little bit
Bawling
It is impossible NOT to cry.✨🇧🇷🖤💚
My sister and I have a saying that comes up a lot when we watch TV together "I'M NOT CRYING YOU ARE! 😭"
It's you
This song is amazing. You can feel every lyric and it helps you better understand how important the time you have really is. Thank you.
Elder people just happend to be wiser, there's really nothing to do about it, but oh well, if i get this msterpiece out of it i won't complain at all. i'm 15 years old now and is simply just wandering around looking at these corrupt people i've sadly been placed with. This song really did something to me i can't explain. Thank you Frank! Love from Denmark.
wow, i'll sleep in peace after listen to this beautiful song.
thanks for such a beautiful song. i don’t know why. my life is still long ahead. but your song make me wanna do my best. yep before the curtain call.
Why would someone ever dislike this😢
there will always be haters
They probably cried so bad that they mistook the dislike button as the like button
Bots to make videos not seem biased
just dropped out of college to pursue my dreams, i hope i get to do everything I always wanted to as a child.
Good luck🙃
I believe in you
in case no one has told you this, i’m super proud of you! take that chance on yourself you’ve been thinkin abt, it’ll pay off.
God bless you on your new journey 🙏🏾.
You will, I believe in you. Im manifesting it right now
This is so beautiful and I’m so very grateful it wasn’t your last song 🙏🏻
I can’t get over how this sounds just sung right there in a room.
Your voice has a magical softness.
Tears to my eyes ❤️
Frank this song is absolutely beautiful, made me sit and cry just listening to how meaningful these lyrics really are.
Quite a beautiful song Frank. Touching, and inspiring.
