everytime he says "i drank with drifters in vienna" i remember how he bought me a beer after his first show in austria. i'm not drifting, though. still, one day the kindness will be repaid.
Travel addict anthem. "Ever since my childhood I've been scared, I've been afraid, of being trapped by circumstance, of staying in one place, and so I always keep a small bag full of clothes carefully stored, somewhere secret, somewhere safe, somewhere close to the door."
Does watching this video make anyone wish it was summer again and we were all sitting outside in a t shirt, beer in hand, listening to some (amazing) live music? Just a thought.
Thank you, Radio Guerilla for giving me the opportynity to discover Frank Turner ! Please, Frank, come in Roumania too ! Me and my friends will surelly come to sing your songs :D !! Keep up the good work !
saw this on a peace corps documentary. As soon as this song is finished I'm picking up my ukulele and walking. When I'm done walking I'm going to sit down and play.
This song has kept me awake at night the last 2 weeks. Every time I'm about to drop off I start singing the chorus. I'd laugh, but I'm too tired. I'd hate it, but he video makes me wish I was there at all the house parties! guess I'm just going to have to continue not sleeping!
Thank you so much, Frank. This song has made me finally get my arse into gear and start making serious plans for my road trip. 3 months through Africa, here I come!
Not many people can pull off a song about being on the road as well as Frank Turner and I can honestly say I have never seen a more "honest" artist. Lot's of people claim to tell it how it is but no one does it better than FT. Well done man, you were awesome at Reading!
Saw him twice in one day at Leeds Fest. On the Lock Up Stage I was three rows back and sang my heart out to every song, and it was fucking beautiful. He's such a legend is Frank.
'have' Anyway I am ashamed to say I have just discovered Frank Turner, but he is fucking excellent. This song has been stuck in my head for days. It's awesome to know someone can articulate how I feel. Keep up the good work.
It takes a special talent to do what this man does with just words and a guitar. Frank you are a true legend it was a pleasure seeing you live earlier this year! Look forward to next time.
And I've driven across deserts driven by the irony That only being shackled to the road could ever I be free That is an amazing lyric, and overall an amazing song!
I've just discovered him, and oh my God! he's a great composer! He really got inside of my hearth, what a great vibe, just don't know what to write... he's great!
Can't remember the last time a song resonated with me so much. Just got back from travelling and its taking a great deal of effort to not just up and go again. Nearly turned round in the airport. Life flows and is so extraordinarily simple when you are moving. More concerned with being and less concerned with doing. God these feet are itching! At least I am focused now - get back out to the road asap! Really loving your work. Look forward to seeing you live some time
saw frank turner in reading this weekend, i have to say he was one of the best performances i saw, this guy is awsome, and how he got us all to sit down, funny stuff, he is one i would recommend :)
there just isnt another singer/ songwriter in the world who even comes close to frank, been a fan since million dead, was a bit sceptical about him going solo and acoustic but its just fucking amazing COME AND PLAY A SHOW IN ESSEX FRANK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i agree, he is. doesn't make him a "sell out". everyone has career aspirations. nothing wrong with signing to a larger label (epitaph) and in the process making your music accessible to a wider audience is there? why did someone neg my original comment? i'm not saying frank's a sell out!
I saw Frank open for Flogging Molly in Charlotte. And in typical Flogging Molly fashion, they always have amazing opening acts. I'm definitely grabbing some of Frank's stuff next chance I get.
I was shown this by a friend and I can honestly say, on this song alone, that if you don't make it HUGE I will set out to single-handedly destroy the entire music industry! This song, aside from being f**king brilliant, also rings true with me because I am someone who relishes being on the road and this song is definately going on my next "Driving Tunes" CD! Wardy
everytime he says "i drank with drifters in vienna" i remember how he bought me a beer after his first show in austria. i'm not drifting, though. still, one day the kindness will be repaid.
"Driven by the irony that only being shackled to the road can ever I be free"
If there was ever a song lyric that spoke to me...
Travel addict anthem.
"Ever since my childhood I've been scared, I've been afraid,
of being trapped by circumstance, of staying in one place,
and so I always keep a small bag full of clothes carefully stored,
somewhere secret, somewhere safe, somewhere close to the door."
This was played at a friends funeral recently. Thank you for the memories. Miss you more each day x
LISTEN UP GUYS: This video isn't that far away! We need to get this to 1,000,000 views! Get this man what he deserves!!!
Does watching this video make anyone wish it was summer again and we were all sitting outside in a t shirt, beer in hand, listening to some (amazing) live music?
Just a thought.
I can only imagine how affordable some of these places were to live 15 years ago 😭
Unbelievable. untucking believable. You did it. Frank did it. OMFG
Great set at the Ottawa Folk Festival...thanks for not minding my novice tambourine playing! - Amanda Cottreau
Thank you, Radio Guerilla for giving me the opportynity to discover Frank Turner !
Please, Frank, come in Roumania too ! Me and my friends will surelly come to sing your songs :D !!
Keep up the good work !
How I lived my life without knowing about this song? Absolutely gorgeous.perfect.
See Frank Turner doesn't only create great music he creates journeys :D
Saw you at Groezrock. You've earned yourself some lifelong fans there! You were absolutely fantastic!
saw this on a peace corps documentary. As soon as this song is finished I'm picking up my ukulele and walking. When I'm done walking I'm going to sit down and play.
This song has kept me awake at night the last 2 weeks. Every time I'm about to drop off I start singing the chorus. I'd laugh, but I'm too tired. I'd hate it, but he video makes me wish I was there at all the house parties! guess I'm just going to have to continue not sleeping!
This is Frank Turner - I don't doubt for one second that he actually did this, what a legend!!!!
4:10 The best smile ever Mr Turner :) Keep smiling... xx
Thank you so much, Frank. This song has made me finally get my arse into gear and start making serious plans for my road trip. 3 months through Africa, here I come!
Holy Crap I've been looking for this song for about 2 years after I just randomly heard it! Success at last
Not many people can pull off a song about being on the road as well as Frank Turner and I can honestly say I have never seen a more "honest" artist. Lot's of people claim to tell it how it is but no one does it better than FT. Well done man, you were awesome at Reading!
that man bought me a beer in vienna after his show i went to without knowing who he was. dammit, come back, frank!
Saw him twice in one day at Leeds Fest. On the Lock Up Stage I was three rows back and sang my heart out to every song, and it was fucking beautiful. He's such a legend is Frank.
By far the most chill and down to earth person i ever met. Best Halloween show at the house of blues in ALC bro. We love you.
I had never heard of him until I saw him with Flogging Molly in Norfolk, VA. Frank Turner is now one of my favorite musicians and a personal hero
this guy deserves way more publicity (however you spell it)
He is way more talented then most artists in the charts today.
First Frank tune I ever heard nearly three years ago. Never turned back.
Thanks Frank!
Just cant stop hitting that freaking Replay button ;)
I only counted twenty signs! We've been ripped off! MORE FRANK! MORE FRANK!
Anyone else think that Mr. Turner looks like 'Brett' of Flight of the Conchords?
oh brilliant video and song btw! love it!
Frank Turner bei Area4: Mit gigantischem Abstand der beste Auftritt am ganzen Vormittag!!! Einfach unglaublich wunderbar, der Kerl :-).
Thank you Catalina for showing me this video! and Frank Turner for that matter
The fact that Banquet Records is mentioned in this video makes me sosososo happy!
I had the luck of being at that same show. Flogging Molly was awesome, and so was Frank.
'have'
Anyway I am ashamed to say I have just discovered Frank Turner, but he is fucking excellent. This song has been stuck in my head for days. It's awesome to know someone can articulate how I feel. Keep up the good work.
Wembley, supporting Green Day...he sang this one. F---ing 'A'. Love this song!
so glad to have been there for this!! =]
It takes a special talent to do what this man does with just words and a guitar.
Frank you are a true legend it was a pleasure seeing you live earlier this year! Look forward to next time.
40 people do not know what music truly is.
Where the hell have I heard this before? It's killing me!
The look on his face! 4:17 - the last guy in the last two seconds. Hilarious...
great video
Too much publicity can ruin an artist but i agree the world would be a much better place if everyone listened to frankie t, art is meant to be spread
from house shows to an arena tour so proud of you frank supported you all the way
I could not want to be there any more than I currently do.
Fell in love with his music from the 1st time I listened to it.
See you at Pukkelpop 2011, I'll be in the front row cheering at you !!
this is one of the most refreshingly new videos that i ve seen in a LONG while! love it
And I've driven across deserts driven by the irony
That only being shackled to the road could ever I be free
That is an amazing lyric, and overall an amazing song!
This song got everyone going at reading festival. Frank was amazing at reading fest!! Put it this way, about 20000 sat down because he told us to.
FRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome Mate - WELL DONE!!
Tommy
4:19 that guy is lovinggg ittttt
I've just discovered him, and oh my God! he's a great composer! He really got inside of my hearth, what a great vibe, just don't know what to write... he's great!
This guy is such an inspiration, thumbs up if you agree
Nearly a year later and I still listen to this song everyday and miss you terribly :( xxx Rest in piece mate x

Really loving your work. Look forward to seeing you live some time
I can't wait till he gets to London, i booked tickets to see him at wembley. Can't wait :DDDDDD
I always forget about it until I watch the video again. that kids face is so good!
saw frank turner in reading this weekend, i have to say he was one of the best performances i saw, this guy is awsome, and how he got us all to sit down, funny stuff, he is one i would recommend :)
there just isnt another singer/ songwriter in the world who even comes close to frank, been a fan since million dead, was a bit sceptical about him going solo and acoustic but its just fucking amazing
COME AND PLAY A SHOW IN ESSEX FRANK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saw him at Leeds. What a beautiful beautiful man.
i agree, he is. doesn't make him a "sell out". everyone has career aspirations. nothing wrong with signing to a larger label (epitaph) and in the process making your music accessible to a wider audience is there?
why did someone neg my original comment? i'm not saying frank's a sell out!
Just heard this on Radio 1 and immediately had to hear it again! It's brilliant!!
I saw Frank open for Flogging Molly in Charlotte. And in typical Flogging Molly fashion, they always have amazing opening acts. I'm definitely grabbing some of Frank's stuff next chance I get.
Stumbled across Frank after hearing The Road on XFM, loved it straight away and now loving all his songs!!
im at the manchester show in match. this man is a hero. having a frank turner tatoo very soon!
I was shown this by a friend and I can honestly say, on this song alone, that if you don't make it HUGE I will set out to single-handedly destroy the entire music industry!
This song, aside from being f**king brilliant, also rings true with me because I am someone who relishes being on the road and this song is definately going on my next "Driving Tunes" CD!
Wardy
Went to Leeds fest this year for the first time and I am so glad I did because it introduced me to this amazing man
Brixton on Sunday was the BEST iv ever seen him
1:29 me and my mates outside the Kingston show at Banquet records...what an awesome day!
there arent words for this man! he is best described through feelings and i feel alot for this man (no homo)
This song seriously pumps me up.
Thank You Mr. Turner
