Gosh, i know everyone doesn't searched for this, and this appeared on fy , but we all know we clicked immediately when we knew it was an old cute man singing mitski. WE LOVE CUTE OLD PEOPLES
can we talk about how wholesome this is? While it would be heartwarming either way, but this man chose to give more modern music a chance, in contrast to what most older people do, and chose to learn to play this song along with the lyrics, to beautifully serenade us. Thank you, Mr. Watkinson.
This man is a blessing. His voice? Beautiful. Energy? Calming and comforting. I never got to meet my grandfather, but I'd like to imagine he'd be like this. You, sir, are a national treasure. We all love you, stay safe! 🩷😊
I never got to meet my grandfather too... He died when I was 3. But just for a second i'd like to imagine that it's not true...My mom always say, that he was the beautiful person.
Mitski's version feels almost peacefully melancholic while this one-- wow does it evoke so much emotion from me somehow. It feels like my dad telling a story of his humanity in a way so raw it just makes me want to cry and hug someone
I think it's a beautiful thing that he has such a liking for music that he can appreciate these songs. Many people like to hate or dismiss newer music as trash
An old camera, no electric guitar, and no editing of the voice. It’s so sweet ,you’re the best ,keep doing that ,as a teenage girl you put a big smile on my face❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
my grandpa is overseas and i never got to have a real relationship with him because of how far he is. i miss him and this channel reminds me of him so much. i put it in the background while doing homework and i just feel like his presence is there. he currently has dementia and does not remember much. but i know he loved to sing. thank you for this. please never stop singing for us.
My grandpa died a few Months back, he player the Guitar, i got his Guitar after he passer Away and on his funeral i player his favourite song by creedence
My grandpa’s a good singer but he’d never sing in front of others. Growing up I would sometimes hear him sing to himself in his room in the afternoon, it always made me feel connected to him somehow. He has a hard time speaking the way he used to since his cerebral stroke and I miss talking to him like before let alone hearing him sing. This video made me feel the way I’d feel on those afternoons, so thank you for this wonderful cover grandpa. I hope you have a really nice day and we all wish to hear more of your covers
I love singing but I’m always scared to sing around my family, idk why I guess it’s a subconscious thing. This comments helped me see another side to it, thank you.
His voice isn't perfectly pitched or smooth with autotune. It's real and raw with passion and experience and emotions. The cracks and pauses are what makes this so different from the original and a totally new song. Protect this man ❤ the only reason I'm hopeful for 2024 is the way his voice brought so many people together in the comments all enjoying this art
My grandfather passed away a few years back. He was my favorite family member. His dying wish to me was that i would always take care of my hair, im now being reccomend this video after i got my haircut and slowly starting to like my hair (ive hated it for years). I no longer remember what his voice sounds like,but i do remember it always calmed me. This video made me remember some very good memories. Thank you,best wishes to you and your loved ones
This is such a beautiful video; everything from the tenderness of how the guitar is strum to the emotion behind his voice makes this cover feel like a lullaby. Genuinely cried a bit, so so lovely
Not only is this a beautiful version, but you’ve turned me on to an artist, Mitski, I’ve never heard of, and I’m really enjoying her work. Well done sir, as always. 👏🏻👏🏻
' first love/late spring' is amazing!! as well as 'a pearl', 'brand new city' and 'francis forever' but you should definitely also check 'washing machine heart', 'me and my husband' and 'nobody' since those are her most popular songs.
the fact that you can see hes going through and liking every comment makes this more special somehow. knowing hes going through and at the least glancing through, if not reading every comment?? do you know how sweet of a visual that is?? people like this man are what make me excited to get old because i just wanna bring the same joy people like him can bring, to a younger generation. thanks for this cover. its so soothing and like many others have said, it brought me to tears. :)
its good that you enjoy the song, but it is impossible that you've liked it "since you were young" because even the original song was published 3months ago.
he reminds me of my grandfather who passed away in 2020. almost cried. continue singing, mr walkinson. you made me remember all those memories I have had with my grandfather. i love your voice, it is comforting. :)
My grandfather who was my main parental figure passed away Tuesday afternoon. I can’t tell you what this rendition means to me right now, Thank you very much for this.
his voice and the melody its someting i never heard before. its like joel singing to ellie in the last of us part 2, its just beautiful, im crying rigth now...
I’ve never had a grandpa, all of them did drugs and died before I could meet them, but you feel like one to me. Your voice is so comforting, you make me feel safe and comfy. Thank you Mr, Watkinson💕
Я просто обожаю ваше исполнение. Словно я отправилась назад в детство, когда мои бабушка и дедушка часто распевали песни и частушки их молодости, пока я заворожённо слушала и хомячила ириски за обе щеки. Спасибо, что поделились такой красотой. ❤
As a teenager who has been a fan of Mitski for quite some time, I’m so glad to see others who share the same passion in her music as me!!! This was such a beautiful cover and your voice is so comforting, you remind me of Christopher Cross a little bit! Keep it up!!!
For some reason this feels so warm and hopeful to listen and watch . Maybe because I miss my grandparents like crazy or because I miss feeling in general. Hearing him, I feel like looking forward to living and growing old deserves a chance :)
I’m a 14 year old girl and I have no idea what I’m doing lots of the time and I constantly feel lonely but your videos are so heartwarming and it brings me joy to see this. Thank you Frank and God bless you 🙏🏻
I am 16,( soon 17) don't worry life just gets messy sometimes. Just try to be positive and happy spread this energy with everyone so that you will have good people around you and life will be easier ❤
I just found this, clicked on it, and instantly started crying. Your voice and how beautiful you play just melted my heart, I have such a soft spot for old people and this was just so wholesome..❤❤❤
This made me cry because the fact that he’s trying to sing it and he’s doing an amazing job. His voice is beautiful and it’s so wholesome. It’s really heartwarming and I enjoyed listening to it
Listening to this made me so emotional. I've never had the opportunity to have someone I call "grandad" and currently don't have a good relationship with my dad. This feels like a big step back to take it all in and just breath for a few minutes. A way to just listen and calm down. To see and hear someone who is just living and thriving and decided to learn a beautiful song for people to hear. My dad is a bit old school in the way that he almost refuses to learn and understand new things. It's a major struggle for me and is the reason I'm not the best spot right now. This makes me really happy to see an older man take on modern things because some of it really is beautiful.
I wasn't looking actively for this, but, it showed up on my recommended. I've been having a bit of a bleak moment, and this felt like a comforting lullaby. I appreciate it man, you're great at singing.
Well, for starters you'll probably realize very quickly that this message is being written by a translator, but the truth is that I didn't want to let my language make it impossible for me to leave you a message of support. You really are great, your delicate way of singing and playing the guitar has relaxed me a lot, it has filled me with joy for the two minutes it lasted. I really admire that you maintain this taste for music, it is difficult nowadays to see older people who have maintained their interest in music and dedicate themselves to making these types of covers of current songs. I hope you can continue a full and healthy life, with your hobby and your great delicacy to carry it out. God bless you and your family, I love you For those who ask what the translator is, it is Google Translator! I guess it's improved enough that no one has noticed haha. And the original language is Spanish, I'm from South America
I never was fortunate enough to form relationships with my grandpas before it was too late. One was gone before I was even born. I always find myself longing for what could have been, what they would have taught me, shown me, given me to carry on in life. Videos like these heal that empty part in me. Thank you so much. This was gorgeous and unbelievably emotional for me and I’m sure many others who have watched. ❤️💕
This is so beautiful, you can hear the raw emotion in his voice. It sounds so real. I just got recommended this video by the youtube algorithm and I cannot thank the algorithm enough for this. What a beautiful version of the song. Keep it up!
Moon, a hole of light Through the big top tent up high Here before and after me Shinin' down on me Moon, tell me if I could Send up my heart to you? So, when I die, which I must do Could it shine down here with you? 'Cause my love is mine, all mine I love mine, mine, mine Nothing in the world belongs to me But my love mine, all mine, all mine My baby, here on earth Showed me what my heart was worth So, when it comes to be my turn Could you shine it down here for her? 'Cause my love is mine, all mine I love mine, mine, mine Nothing in the world belongs to me But my love mine, all mine Nothing in the world is mine for free But my love mine, all mine, all mine
This came at the perfect time. Ive never came out of a saddened mood quite as quickly as i did, nor have i ever cried this hard. Your voice and your playing truly hit somewhere deep in the heart that is so, so beautiful
Hey Frank! Let me tell you, I was so so excited when I got the notif you played this song. It means a lot to me, and it sounds wonderful when you play it. Thank you so much for sharing this with us ❤ Keep up the good work man.
My grandfather passed away when I was 9 years old, and he was extremely multitalented. He could sing, draw, write, create, calculate, all of that. You truly remind me of him, despite that fact that he spoke a completely different language. Thank you for reminding me of my grandfather, your singing is awesome! I hope you have a great rest of your weekend. 💖
This is one of the best videos on the internet. Not just a good song, but a good man taking a chance on modern music. I love the original but this might be the best cover of I've heard. Thank you, Mr. Watkimson, this is beautiful, and I love your dog in the background.
I put this on my big tv and my entire family sat down quietly (which is very rare) to listen to this masterpiece, when it ended we all clapped. This is truly amazing
This is quite literally the most beautiful cover of this song I ever heard. You remind me of my grandpa, he was my favorite person ever. Thank you for a little reminder of the man who shaped me into the person i am today.
Thank you for singing. I lost my grandfather today and this is so comforting to me while i am sat at work on a long overnight shift. It means the world to me to hear someone like him sing.
Your voice is the epitome of a warm and soothing cup of coffee. It's precious, to say the least! Not to mention, your guitar playing is absolutely impeccable!
@@Ash_Queen16 i may be wrong but I'm pretty sure he was a guy who was beloved and thought to be a wholesome old man on youtube until he got caught as a pedo
I cannot stop crying. I lost my grandfather three years ago, but lately it’s been hitting harder than ever. This showed up in my recommended, and it feels like a warm hug. Thank you so much.
I could say the same. It's been almost a year since I lost him, I'll give you a big virtual hug, you're not alone🫂🫂 And I thank this beautiful cover again
the more time passes, the more the grief hurts. I lost my grandmother four years ago, at first it didn't seem difficult but time passed and now it hurts much more
Holy shit. Pure passion and love in this song. So raw and beautiful. This is a great cover. While mitskis has an aura of triumph, of someone finally realizing what truly matters in life, yours is sad and woeful, of someone who has lived it all and lost it all wanting to leave behind what he can.
When you’re older and you look back onto your life, I hope you understand and are aware of the people’s lives you helped. Your music and covers make my day. I’m so happy to have found this channel.
I lost my grandpa at a very young age and this reminded me of him. He was a great man, a Vietnam War veteran who would sit on his chair in the old living room and play with me all the time. He knew how much I loved horses as a silly little toddler- he would play me country music and rub my back. Thank you, sir. Have a blessed New Years.
This was recommended to me at midnight, and it lead to me sobbing for a good 10 minutes. I haven’t cried in a very long time. I don’t know how, but this is something I really needed. Keep doing what you love ♡
I remember listening to this long ago, came onto my fyp, found myself searching this up today. Thank you for this, this was beautiful. The song emanates from the heart.
Fun fact: no one searched for this video and just found it on their fyp and clicked it
cause you immediately know it's gonna be wholesome when it's some random old human
@@somebody1743 mhm
man it's weird to think that people call the youtube recommended your fyp now
Same, it was def worth it lol
Me too i just saw it and i wanted to listen to it 😊☺
That dog probably has such a lovely relaxing life
I THOUGHT IT WAS A PILLOW 😂
wishing i was the dog 🙏
@@ch4rl0tt3Dsame like, can this man adopt me istg I would cause no problems as long as he sings me a song before bedtime ❤

this sounds like a lullaby, like a grandpa singing their grandchild to sleep, so beautiful
This is what the internet is for. Accidentally coming across this gem. You are such a kind and wholesome soul
Gosh, i know everyone doesn't searched for this, and this appeared on fy , but we all know we clicked immediately when we knew it was an old cute man singing mitski. WE LOVE CUTE OLD PEOPLES
it was exactly like this lolll

Seriously, it's such a nice break from what I've gotten so used to hearing. I forgot such nice wholesome peaceful vibes existed lol
he doesnt know about the PlasmaMasterDon incident
I’d like to believe that if Johnny Cash or Lou Reed were around, they’d do an awesome take on this song and appreciate new artists too
@@viastis4107what’s that?
Get a grip he just think the song sounds good
Bro is the definition of “you’re never too old to chase your dreams”
This man is a blessing. His voice? Beautiful. Energy? Calming and comforting. I never got to meet my grandfather, but I'd like to imagine he'd be like this.
You, sir, are a national treasure. We all love you, stay safe! 🩷😊
I never got to meet my grandfather too...
He died when I was 3.
But just for a second i'd like to imagine that it's not true...My mom always say, that he was the beautiful person.
Mitski's version feels almost peacefully melancholic while this one-- wow does it evoke so much emotion from me somehow. It feels like my dad telling a story of his humanity in a way so raw it just makes me want to cry and hug someone
Reminds me of how Johnny Cash put his stamp on Hurt by NIN. So much emotion
that’s what i was thinking!! his voice makes you feel the emotions way more 🥹😢❤
Exactly my thought process! There’s just so much emotion it’s so soulful ❤
I started crying in the middle of listening
That’s cool
The fact that he took the time to read and like all the comment section 🫡
I’m going to cry, this is so wholesome. It reminds me of my grandpa, I actually cried to this 💝🤍
I think it's a beautiful thing that he has such a liking for music that he can appreciate these songs. Many people like to hate or dismiss newer music as trash
An old camera, no electric guitar, and no editing of the voice. It’s so sweet ,you’re the best ,keep doing that ,as a teenage girl you put a big smile on my face❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I agree its so calming
as another teenage girl, i completely agree!!!
What’s wrong with an electric guitar
@@probablyprin nothing! an acoustic guitar just gives me an authenthic and pure feeling! i think thats what the person meant :D

This just randomly showed up on my recommendations and I am glad I clicked on it. Thanks!
Стало так комфортно. Пропала тревога, выровнялось дыхание...
This is precious. People around the world who may not have grandfathers see this as a gift. I'm crying 😭
I'm crying too
yes, you’re right. I have no sign of grandparents since both sets of them died a few years ago and this is a true gift.
yeah, my grandpa died a few years ago and my other grandpa has dementia n doesnt know who i am anymore so this is really heartwarming
As someone with no grandfathers, this comment really made it sink in, ended up crying lol
My grandpa died a few Months back, he player the Guitar, i got his Guitar after he passer Away and on his funeral i player his favourite song by creedence
Everybody loves you.
I have autism and adhd and ocd and I’m currently going through a depression crash and this feels so peaceful for me.
i just found this and it reminded me of my own grandpa, who isn’t with us anymore. I play this at night for me to fall asleep, thank you 🫶

I won't sing in front of others either.
@@FrankWatkinson thank you for singing for us :)
should sing for your grandpa!
my grandma used to sing religious songs (hindu) and this comment reminded me of her
I love singing but I’m always scared to sing around my family, idk why I guess it’s a subconscious thing. This comments helped me see another side to it, thank you.
Ok but the fact that this song is about our mortality but the immortality of love has me SOBBING
anyone else cry watching this? it makes my heart so happy. thank you sir, for letting the world see this and hear your amazing skills
“you’re never too old to chase your dreams”
His voice isn't perfectly pitched or smooth with autotune. It's real and raw with passion and experience and emotions. The cracks and pauses are what makes this so different from the original and a totally new song. Protect this man ❤ the only reason I'm hopeful for 2024 is the way his voice brought so many people together in the comments all enjoying this art

Not only is this a beautiful version, but you’ve turned me on to an artist, Mitski, I’ve never heard of, and I’m really enjoying her work. Well done sir, as always. 👏🏻👏🏻
Francis forever is one of my favorites by her, I recommend it !
Some of my favorites songs from her are Bag of bones, Last words of a shooting star and Jobless monday. I totally recommend them!
some of my favorites by mitski are first love/late spring, brand new city, and a burning hill. :)
my favorite song by her is brand new city. 10/10 song.
' first love/late spring' is amazing!! as well as 'a pearl', 'brand new city' and 'francis forever' but you should definitely also check 'washing machine heart', 'me and my husband' and 'nobody' since those are her most popular songs.
the fact that you can see hes going through and liking every comment makes this more special somehow. knowing hes going through and at the least glancing through, if not reading every comment?? do you know how sweet of a visual that is?? people like this man are what make me excited to get old because i just wanna bring the same joy people like him can bring, to a younger generation.

Made me cry and ah miss my grandpa! Warms my heart

Around 2 minutes, you can feel even more emotion. The lyrics seemed to speak to him most then. As if he really missed his love on Earth. Beautiful

Through the big top tent up high
Here before and after me
Shinin' down on me
Moon, tell me if I could
Send up my heart to you?
So, when I die, which I must do
Could it shine down here with you?
'Cause my love is mine, all mine
I love mine, mine, mine
Nothing in the world belongs to me
But my love mine, all mine, all mine
My baby, here on earth
Showed me what my heart was worth
So, when it comes to be my turn
Could you shine it down here for her?
'Cause my love is mine, all mine
I love mine, mine, mine
Nothing in the world belongs to me
But my love mine, all mine
Nothing in the world is mine for free
But my love mine, all mine, all mine

Let’s just hope and pray this guy isn’t another PlasmaMasterDon
If Johnny Cash made a cover of Mitski it would sound close to this, this is really really beautiful, congrats!!! ❤️
I’d say it’s more Leonard Cohen
I just feel so happy I feel like I wanna cry idk why but his voice make me feel just .. happy ❤️
this video is so comforting, makes you feel like everything is going to be alright
This is one of the best videos on the internet. Not just a good song, but a good man taking a chance on modern music. I love the original but this might be the best cover of I've heard. Thank you, Mr. Watkimson, this is beautiful, and I love your dog in the background.
Thank you, that's Marshall.
this is absolutely melodic , thank you🩷
This is music that could comfort you in your darkest times. Thank you Mr. Watkinson🤍
I put this on my big tv and my entire family sat down quietly (which is very rare) to listen to this masterpiece, when it ended we all clapped. This is truly amazing
i bet it was grainy .
I saw the title and I clicked it.
by far my favorite cover of this song. his voice is just so soothing and sounds so well with the acoustic guitar.
Genuinely made me cry this is beautiful
Something so intimate and special about this version makes me so sad and happy
This is quite literally the most beautiful cover of this song I ever heard. You remind me of my grandpa, he was my favorite person ever.
Thank you for a little reminder of the man who shaped me into the person i am today.
i could loop this over and over. your voice gives off so much serenity, it's amazing
you started singing and I just instantly cried, this is so comforting. Keep doing what you love!
Thank you for singing. I lost my grandfather today and this is so comforting to me while i am sat at work on a long overnight shift. It means the world to me to hear someone like him sing.
I'm sorry for your loss.
@@FrankWatkinsonsir, that was a beautiful song
Hope youre doing ok, gonna try to listen to more of your videos
i also lost my grandfather today, and it was really hard
no one and nothing really prepares you for this
my condolences to you, dear stranger 🫶
@@ramz3214 i hope you’re coping well! Loss can be a challenging and difficult thing to navigate, try and find beauty in the moments you once shared 💛
@@FrankWatkinson saying that means more than you know, thank you
Your voice is the epitome of a warm and soothing cup of coffee. It's precious, to say the least! Not to mention, your guitar playing is absolutely impeccable!
Let’s just hope and pray this guy isn’t another PlasmaMasterDon
@@iknowexactlywhoyouare8701Who’s that?
@@Ash_Queen16 i may be wrong but I'm pretty sure he was a guy who was beloved and thought to be a wholesome old man on youtube until he got caught as a pedo
@@ricedaddy30 Oh I don’t know so your guess is as good as mine
@@iknowexactlywhoyouare8701 I'm nothing like that twat!
This is so soul-soothing, I love this man's singing so much. He truly savours the words and the melody.
This literally just brought me a wave of peace. This was awesome to hear❤️
I cannot stop crying. I lost my grandfather three years ago, but lately it’s been hitting harder than ever. This showed up in my recommended, and it feels like a warm hug. Thank you so much.
I could say the same. It's been almost a year since I lost him, I'll give you a big virtual hug, you're not alone🫂🫂
And I thank this beautiful cover again
i lost mine three years ago aswell. It will get better i promise :) make sure to be kind to yourself during the grief
Now i am crying
I lost mine 1.5 years ago, he was my best friend. I miss him every day. Sending you love and a virtual hug :)
the more time passes, the more the grief hurts. I lost my grandmother four years ago, at first it didn't seem difficult but time passed and now it hurts much more
Holy shit. Pure passion and love in this song. So raw and beautiful. This is a great cover.
While mitskis has an aura of triumph, of someone finally realizing what truly matters in life, yours is sad and woeful, of someone who has lived it all and lost it all wanting to leave behind what he can.
This is so amazing! I’m probably going to watch this again and again and again because of how amazing this is
i started crying when I clicked the video
When you’re older and you look back onto your life, I hope you understand and are aware of the people’s lives you helped. Your music and covers make my day. I’m so happy to have found this channel.
An old man singing of love... what more beauty and poetry could there be?
You have a beautiful voice, sir. I hope you're having a wonderful day.
this actually made me tear up, thank you for taking the time to make this for us
you can just feel the emotion through his voice this is beautiful
this is such a beautiful cover, his voice is so angelic and pure 😭❤️
for real it’s just so calming
I lost my grandpa at a very young age and this reminded me of him.
He was a great man, a Vietnam War veteran who would sit on his chair in the old living room and play with me all the time.
He knew how much I loved horses as a silly little toddler- he would play me country music and rub my back.
Thank you, sir.
Have a blessed New Years.
I lost mine at the age of 9 he reminds me so much of him god now I am crying he was so amazing and this person is soo like him 😢
Lost mine recently I miss him he was a WW2 vet he was a great dude.
I lost mine last year. He was a Vietnam veteran as well
I am so sorry man hey at least we are in this together ❤️ things will get better ❤️ @user-ju2rf7gh8z
This was recommended to me at midnight, and it lead to me sobbing for a good 10 minutes. I haven’t cried in a very long time. I don’t know how, but this is something I really needed. Keep doing what you love ♡
I remember listening to this long ago, came onto my fyp, found myself searching this up today. Thank you for this, this was beautiful. The song emanates from the heart.
This is so beautiful. His voice is so deep, the feeling, omg, is such a masterpiece
