I loved this song anyway when Frank first broke it out on one of the livestream gigs last year, but then I lost a childhood friend to suicide and it took on a whole other colour. What a beautiful tribute and song this is.
I still have the hospital wristband from my attempt. I still have the scars from hesitation. This is heavy to listen to cause when I try I forget what others would be like without me. This year won't won't easy for me but Frank I will keep coming back to this song. Thank you for your talent.
My Mum took her life last year by walking into the sea and drowning herself.This song is so similar it’s mind blowing.I always have been scared she suffered in her final moments but I don’t think she did.She was ready to go, and I’ve gone through the range of emotion from anger, guilt and shame. Now I just miss her so bad sometimes I can’t breathe.She was always smiling though, she took a piece of happiness with her that will never be returned. Thank you for the song, it makes me cry every time but it’s helped me and my family out so much.I am sorry for your loss brother.
I can only imagine how difficult it must have been to write this song let alone perform it. It hits me so strongly that I can't help but get emotional listening to it. I hope that everyone who is struggling gets to hear it.
I saw Frank LIVE song this last summer & I had to sit back in my chair, grabbed my husband's hand and sat there crying, tears falling so much because I have attempted suicide several times & it must be how my friend's must have felt & it broke my heart. Frank you never fail to be a lyrical genius, Thankyou for your song's over the year's I appreciate you like my other teenager love Eddie Vedder both of you BOY you can sing a song and mean it 💜🤘🏻🤙🏻xxxx
I was working last week up in Scotland. I got a message from my friend back in South Africa about Frank's cover. The timing of it all seemed a bit surreal as I was passing over the Firth of Forth. I had this song blasting on the van speakers and tears rolling down my cheeks. Yes, it was for the tragedy of Scott leaving us. But the words hit home for others that I have lost close to me over the years. My ex-girlfriend took her life a few months ago and suddenly the immensity of it all really struck home. This is a beautiful song. It resonates beyond Scott and gives life where it was taken. I miss him too man. Thank you Frank. You really made an impact with this beautiful song.
From a Mother of a Daughter who has been on life's edge more than once, this hits a chord. When you performed it at Moseley festive in 2021 it brought tears to me eyes. I love everything you do, but this has a special place in so many peoples hearts, this is defo going to be a hit! good luck to the charity they deserve all the support they can get. RIP Scott!! You will always be loved.
Heartbreaking genius lyrics. I will now think of those who have left my life's circle as "ever falling, never landing, always smiling". A metaphorical masterpiece of a song in tribute to a friend.
thanks for this, as I said under the relevant song, Scott may have lost his life but may have saved mine with the song State Hospital, about half of the lyrics applied to my life at one point and the "all is not lost" gave me the strength to rise up against crappy circumstances, so yes, all is not lost
I'm fortunate enough to not have lost someone too close to me yet however this helps me to understand the pain and acceptance my partner and friends have been through with loss and grief. He played this live at LEIV and it hit a new spot. Frank has an incredible way with his voice. The only way to describe it in songs like this is "incredibly emotive"
Sorry but this is a cry for attention. You will never be able to compare the raw emotion of a FR song to this. Love frank, but he shouldnt touch these kind of songs
"GoddamnImissyouman..." "Imnotpissedoffatyouman...But you had something in your soul that we could recognize...you were one of us and you worked out how you could survive At least for a while..." As if "Song for Josh wasnt enough, you did it again Frank. Thank you. #DJP
March 2020, Barrowlands Glasgow just before the first lockdown, was the last time myself and my partner saw Frank live. He performaned a version of Modern Leper and my partner and half of the crowd ugly-cried for the duration. Myself and the other half of the crowd were close. Such an emotional moment. I imagine this song will incite a similar reaction. Beautiful song.
This song is beautiful, just beautiful. It’s amazing that after all these years hearing all sides of you, there’s still more to be told. We’ve taken a look you from innumerable different angles, but never actually seen into your core. This album is an amazing insight, and a perfect reminder that you are human, just like the rest of us. And that’s something I needed to be reminded of, so thank you, for the reminder and the amazing song.
Was recommended Frank by someone I met who is a huge fan, I happen to live beside where this happened, such a lovely tribute to Scott, the lyrics really resonate and are heartfelt throughout.
Thank you, Frank. I'm sorry you had to write this, and experience the events that led to writing it. I am grateful that you have provided a song that gives form to the feelings I have been grappling with since a dear friend made his exit in June. Discovering this was a balm. Take care, Casey
Frank...my Wife and I saw you yesterday in Hamburg, we are big Fans of you, not just for your music also for what a person you are. You bring so much joy into each of your shows its heartbeating. As we heard you sing for Scott I nearly broke and definitely shared a few tears. We could, sadly, feel your loss on ourselves but also the joy Scott brought to you as a friend. Thank you for being who you are and for this beautiful messages you deliver. See you at your next concert in HH and greetings and cheers to your wonderful, also very talented, wife and the Sleeping Souls. #bemorekind 🖤
I was waiting for a proper recording of this. Absolutely in love, a lyrical masterpiece, a beautiful melody, hits really close to home. Instant favourite!
The studio version of this song reminds me so much of Frank's earlier work, e.g. the strumming pattern on the first chorus, or the drum sound on the second verse. And what a great song this is.
Frank, thank you for EVERYTHING you do. This song MOVES me like you wouldn’t believe. I’m from Easton, Pa, but we saw you last week in Asthmeth? Lol, well in QUEENS, NY. It was my FIRST FT concert, and you were AWESOME as expected. I know your choice, but God Bless you Frank, you are such a good person.
Thankyou Frank. Absolutely beautiful. So moving and heartfelt and in the true Frank Turner tradition, done with such conviction and spirit. Thoughts with Scott and his family left behind and for all others in a simillar situation. Peace and love.
It took me so long to watch this video, I wasn't ready. So incredibly grateful I got see Scott live doing his thing and absolutely smashing it. Thank you Frank, you bring me to tears and back again
Tinder gets dissed as shallow and a digital meat market but i discovered Frank thru it and that in itself justifies its existence (i didn't end up with (or even date!) the guy who proclaimed Be More Kind to be his fave song but i thank him every day for switching me on to the genuinely beautiful force for good in this world that is Frank.

I’m not sure Scott could have ever hoped for a better tribute. A remarkable song, with feelings beautifully put across!

I love the reference to being an atheist yet feeling somehow still connected to a lost loved one. I really relate to that.
Heartbreaking genius lyrics. I will now think of those who have left my life's circle as "ever falling, never landing, always smiling". A metaphorical masterpiece of a song in tribute to a friend.
This is going to be in Franks Mount Rushmore of songs in years to come. Simply beautiful.
Damn Frank you've written some powerful stuff before but this is another level. I hope you're at peace now Scott wherever you are.
This hit hard. RIP Scott. Well done Frank, I needed this.

I met Scott after a show almost a decade ago. He was gracious and sweet but clearly tired.
Thank you for this song.
Thank you for keeping us all going Frank.
This is incredibly beautiful Frank. Be proud of that one my man
I pretty much lost it the first time I heard Frank do this one on a livestream. Very glad it made its way onto the album.
This is going to be a banger of an album 💿
Yes!!! Can't wait for its release.

This might be one of your best songs to date ! The lyrics are just amazing

Beautiful and heartbreaking and a wonderful tribute. Thank you for sharing this 💙
I'm loving the new stuff so far!
I’m loving 🥰
I really love this song but it must have been heartwrenching to record and to write. Such a beautiful tribute to Scott. Thank you Frank for this!

One of my favourite artists singing about my favourite and most missed artist - keep on rocking Frank
I listen to the song and picture Scott gliding on the water with a big smile on his face, ever falling, never landing. So beautiful. Thank you, Frank.
And always smiling 🙂
Beautiful tribute to Scott Hutchinson, thank you Frank Turner 🤝
I hope everyone stays well. Never be alone. You are not alone, just look harder. And talk. Talk is good.
this helped me
My cousin took his own life in 2020 and this song brings me to tears every time. Frank just sings with such raw emotion and honesty.
The studio version of this song reminds me so much of Frank's earlier work, e.g. the strumming pattern on the first chorus, or the drum sound on the second verse. And what a great song this is.
Love u Frank !
Heard this on one of the lockdown livestreams and had it stuck in my head for months from that one listen. That's how you know a song is amazing ❤️
I didn't lose my best friend to suicide but I still see him in this song. Miss you JD!
Frank, thank you for EVERYTHING you do. This song MOVES me like you wouldn’t believe. I’m from Easton, Pa, but we saw you last week in Asthmeth? Lol, well in QUEENS, NY.

Thanks Frank for all your great songs that help me coping with the world how she is.
Love this song ❤️
This is beautiful.Thanks for this one Frank.
exciting!!!
You always seem to manage to say the things we can’t…. We luv ya Frank
Thankyou Frank. Absolutely beautiful. So moving and heartfelt and in the true Frank Turner tradition, done with such conviction and spirit. Thoughts with Scott and his family left behind and for all others in a simillar situation. Peace and love.
A beautiful song.
Such a strong, emotionally charged yet delicate tribute to a friend.
RIP Ryan. Miss you brother, not as much as your kids though. I never know what to tell them. They’re not old enough for the truth
It took me so long to watch this video, I wasn't ready. So incredibly grateful I got see Scott live doing his thing and absolutely smashing it. Thank you Frank, you bring me to tears and back again
This is beautiful 😢
I love this song 🎵 ❤️
Awesome great music song. 👍
Peter
Great song! Big fan from Belgium.
Bravo man
This is just fucking beautiful. Scott's my fav song writer. This did him sooooo much justice with love
I just listened to Midnight Organ Fight. Good timing. Great song.
Sensational
I wasn't prepared for that song at all. It is so beautiful and utterly heartbreaking... I just want to give everyone hug right about now ❤
I'd be watching you at Ipswich next week :(
Beautiful song Frank. Thanks
Thank you Frank. Thank you.
What a beautiful song.
Awesome
The lyrics made me goosebumbs. Great.
Nothing but ❤️
Beautiful, emotional and perfect
Absolutely beautiful ♥️
I'm crying.. thank you Frank.
Beautiful
Thats so beautiful 🙂
Beautiful ❤️
Thanks frank
This hits me so so hard. Been there and almost did the exact same thing
This is a beautiful song but I don't dare listen to it right now; it made me cry when I heard it on the last live stream.
I cried so hard when he played this in L.A. 😭
The trouble with making the world a better place is that most people are only trying. ;) Keep that aspidistra flying, mate (I think).
Tinder gets dissed as shallow and a digital meat market but i discovered Frank thru it and that in itself justifies its existence (i didn't end up with (or even date!) the guy who proclaimed Be More Kind to be his fave song but i thank him every day for switching me on to the genuinely beautiful force for good in this world that is Frank.
nah this album is going to be peak.
2:42 - Goosebumps.
Sounds killer from the start
Great song. Im sorry frank.
Suicide is never the answer. Call a friend, call a cop, call somebody.
Okay, guess we're crying today.
Scott is missed everyday.
I struggle to listen to this. It's a hard one.
😭😔☹️🙁😥
Only one Scott Hutchison!
Ooof. 😔
No gigs in Scotland? :(
Has anyone noticed it sounding a helluva lot like hope is a dangerous thing by lana del rey? The melody is almost identical - maybe it's a homage?
Anyone upset that this song is in D and not E-minor?
I feel lied to.
What’s the tuning?
😂
First
I absolutely cannot wait for the album and I hope to see it when it does tour 🤍
