Adventure time island song cover 

Such a beautiful and mellow song. I always hate when it's immediately followed by "Bang Bang Bang FREDERATOR!"

I can imagine older Finn singing this rendition as he reminisce all the adventures he had with Jake 💗

I will never have a grandfather who cares about me enough to share or create a memory like this with me, thank you for this.

This makes me think of my grandpa. He taught me how to play chess, and (to me at least) always spoke with a gentle, soft tone even though his voice was deep. He made a lot of mistakes in his life, but in the end he was a good man. This is the exact kind of song he would've loved. Thank you Mr. Watkinson.

POV: It's 2074 and your grandpa is singing a song to you from his childhood 60 years back

You made me start crying my grandpa and I used to watch adventure time together as I was growing up and he enjoyed the ending song a lot unfortunately he passed weeks before the final episode and seeing you sing this reminds me so much of him Thank you

This song reminds me of my sister. We used to watch this show together while we were painting and running our small business. She meant the world to me, and still does. I miss her every single day. Thank you for this lovely cover, I think she would love it ❤

Everyone saying Finn singing, but for me it just feels as Jake singing and playing to his old friend Finn, Jake is old now too and learned to play guitar after many years as a violinist, they're enjoying the view the new treehouse. Jake and Finn thinking about their lives, their adventures together, Jake thinking about his kids, he's probably a greatgrandad by now. Finn thinking about the girls he had fallen in love, the friends he made along the way, his growth, all he's been through. Finn is laying down, he have a piece of grass in his mouth and one arm blocking the sun, he isn't using his mechanical arm right now. Jake is sitting. They both see Marceline and Bonnibel from afar, they wave to finn and jake. It's a sunset. Bmo is playing, running after a butterfly, and stops to watch the pretty view too. Bmo was the one who saw Marcy and Bonnie first, and said "Hey, look at who I found!". Thanks for this cover, Adventure Time is my favorite cartoon, it means a lot to me, I love your voice, and this cover was a pearl.

This is like Johnny Cash’s Hurt but Adventure Time

I put the song on, took a bite of the banana i got from the gas station And cried like i havent cried in twenty years Thank you so much for this

Just got recommended this in 2024 what a beautiful cover you smashed it mate much love from the UK

You’re amazing and this made me cry into my fruit loops. Now I’m eating fruit loop tears with a heart full of happiness.

HOW CAN YOU MAKE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL INTO A MASTERPIECE???

I'm going to be 30 this year but adventure time made realise me that all this time I just wanted grow young and be like Finn ... life's a never ending adventure

I’m bawling, adventure time will always have a spot in my heart. LIVE WELL, OLD MAN FINN!

This makes me think that this is Finn singing to Jake as he is passing so Finn can send him off with good memories of their past adventures.

adventure time is actually my favorite animated show and means a lot to me...thank you, this is so beautiful frank

This was akin to a very warm hug. Feels like... Home? In song form? Augh, what a lovely cover. Thank you so much for making this 🥹💖

I never felt so relaxed in my life

Imagine if the series ended with Finn in his final days. An old man, he picks up his guitar to reflect back on his entire life. He strums out the song, and every moment of his life is played out with his shaky voice. As the song wraps up we see a tear slowly slide down his cheek, as he cracks a smile. THE END Now that would have been one hell of a closer.

When he's the one singing it, feels like it has a totally different meaning and I love it

This was mine and my girlfriends song. We'd sing-along after every episode and sing it to one another when feeling blue. We split up recently, it's been tough having things hit my recommendeds that remind me of her / us. But this was really beautiful, and i may be crying, but I'm happy i watched. Cheers.

Thank you for posting this, grandpa 💙 I always love when your videos pop up in my recommended feed.

This is in the "things that fit together so well you can't believe you hadn't thought of it before" category. You have excellent taste in songs.

Plot twist: He's old Finn

I used to watch adventure time with my mother. When it ended, that was one of the first times I’ve cried with my mother over such shared dismay. The only thing I can say is. Thank you so much for reminding me what it’s like to love a mother. Just by singing a song.

I just turned 18 and am going to college soon. This shot me back to when I first saw the show so many years. You brought tears to my eyes. Amazing!

Imagine : _Finn with Jake beside him, wearing his old blue outfit and backpack. Gazing over the land of Ooo where they can see all the sites they've been to. Finn sings to Jake as Jake looks across the horizon with a small smile on his face_

Not only dose this guy have a great voice he took the time to like everyone’s comments

I was a senior in high school when this show came out. Watched every episode with my younger siblings. I now watch it with my 3 children who love the show (almost more than myself). It was the last kids/child show I watched before I became an adult and I will always cherish this show and how it evokes so much nostalgia and joy. Thank you for making me, a 32 yr old man, feel like a kid. Again. ❤

Wish i could like this more than once

This is so underrated it's a crime. It's literally old retired Finn sitting under the old tree house, now in ruins, singing, remembering his life of how awesome it was. Happy, that everything happened the way it did.

I turn 19 this year and grew up with what many thought was just a silly cartoon show with no meaning behind it. But this song alone proves that idea wrong. Adventure time WAS silly and it was a cartoon show but it taught us morals and the importance of friendship and righteousness. It taught us that it's normal to be sad and it taught us that life isn't perfect. The lore behind the story is one of my favourites in all of cinematography so thank you sir for making such a fine rendition of something that made my childhood significantly better. I hope you've wandered through the forests, gazed across the water, given and also received great affection throughout your years, and most importantly I hope you've been living merrily. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Frank

I'm crying.... This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

You’re a legend. Not only producing an amazing cover, but still responding and liking comments years later

I can’t imagine for a second of why anybody would dislike this video. He’s great, the song is great and the meaning behind him singing this is beautiful. I petition for this people who disliked the video to come forth and explain why they were acting the way they were when they said no to happiness

"Jake! What are you doing? I've just had my valued epiphany." "I know, I just came back for fun...Because it's great being alive with you" "...Good reason"

I can't stress enough how beautiful this cover is. The rawness of your voice and calm progression throughout the song (compared to the overly jolly, but still extremely enjoyable original version) and a little sad, nostalgic, melancholic undertone that doesn't take away from this song being wholesome and comforting... Ahhh. I love this. Makes me want to cry and imagine some movie scenes in which a character that lived through life and now has youth to take care off spends time with them in a park, beach, house in a forest teaching them new things and at the end of the song the youth he took care of helps him get up a hill etc. Beautiful cover.

i imagine this is finn looking back at all his adventures as an old man as he plays this on his guitar

Yesterday I took my little mouse to the vet to be euthanized. I don't know why this song appeared to me last night, but it makes me think about him and cry. Goodbye Jenje. I loved you so much.

i imagine old Finn playing this at Jake’s funeral

1 year later and it still brings a tear to my eye, thank you again sir

I feel like I'm leaving my childhood behind because I'm hearing this song.

theres lots of comments like this, but imagine finn as an old man, laying on the grassy hill, shutting his eyes. he remembered his adventures, his friends, and his enemies. he smiled, said his final goodbye to bmo, who survived longer than both jake and finn, and who would continue surviving. finn shut his eyes, and died, he died peacefully, just as a hero should.

It feels like its Jake singing this since Jake can live longer than Finn

This made me nearly cried, My life right now is a roller coasting emotion of happiness or sadness. I do not know how to feel at times. Constant of doubts. But this song just reminds me of old days, that I use to be such a innocent back then playing games all day, day and night. But they are just a pass that reminds all of us, that there are good things in life you never appreciated unless something hits you.

I would love for this to be on Spotify 💖 This feels so warm, cozy, and sweet. I appreciate this content a lot. Your voice is beautiful and the guitar is very well played 🥰

So glad this was in my recommended, literally cried. This wasn't a shame at all. Adventure Time is my favorite and you did this song total justice. I loved it, so many memories.

didn’t think it was possible but somehow this cover hit harder than the original

My grandpa passed early in my childhood but he sang to me often. Bless you, Frank, your voice is lovely.

thank you, Frank Watkinson. you have my full respect..

Woah. I wish the show was still running and get you in there! Like a traveling musician. Sorta like Tom waits in Wristcutters a love story

I don’t know what came over me, but I curled up into a ball and suddenly burst into tears upon hearing this. There was a deep feeling of a strange emptiness- loneliness even- formulating inside my chest that it hurt to breathe. Listening to this really hit me, knowing that I am no longer a child, no longer able to dream and wonder about the world. Compared to the original theme song where it is bright, positive, and cheerful, this has a more mellow and melancholy tune, as if it’s no longer a song about upcoming adventures and stories, but rather something to help reminisce on our past experiences and journeys and how it’s all coming to an inevitable end. Now, I am knowledgeable and aware of the pain and suffering around me that is paired with adulthood. It aches. How naive and foolish it was of me to ever want to grow up. I long for the days of my childhood that I will never get back. To all the young people reading this, please cherish your childhood. Contrary to what I thought, it’s not something that will last forever. Nothing lasts forever.

An old finn playing this singing it to his kids as he thinks about his past but then looks at his kids now knowing he should live now in the present and be a better person for his kids. As the sun nearly sets we get a shot of a bee and a flower

So tender and lovely. You may not find happy songs are your thing, but for me, this really works.

I feel like a country boy going home to his hometown after fighting in a long war.

Can we just appreciate how mans put the chords in the description

Absolutely amazing brings back me back to when I used to go home and watch adventure time right after school can't believe it's over

Just wanna drop this here so i can tell someone out there. I got to know my grandpa is going to pass away this coming month from cancer. We would watch adventure time and gravity falls, so this song really makes me emotional

Come along with me To a town beside the sea We can wander through the forest And do so as we please Come along with me To a cliff under a tree Where well gaze upon the water In a everlasting dream And all of my affections I’ll give em all to you And maybe by next summer we won’t have to change our tune I Still want to be In this town beside the sea Making up new numbers And living so merrily And all of my affections I’ll give em all to you And I’ll be here for you always and always be for you So come along with me To a town beside the sea We can wander through the forest And do so as we please Living so merrily

Finn after waking up from his 30+ year coma realizing everything in the show was only a dream.

Against the speculations of Cartoon Network closing, its shows remain in the hearts of many.

Come along with me And the butterflies and bees We can wander through the forest And do so as we please Come along with me To a cliff under a tree Where we can gaze upon the water As an everlasting dream All of my collections I'll share them all with you Maybe by next summer We won't have changed our tunes We'll still want to be With the butterflies and bees Making up new numbers And living so merrily All of my collections I'll share them all with you I'll be here for you always And always be with you Come along with me And the butterflies and bees We can wander through the forest And do so as we please Living so merrily

I’m not crying, you’re crying

I'm convinced that this man is an angel ಥ‿ಥ

this is how the world is supposed to be free from all the sufferings i'm crying thank you

I wish there was a series with this song at the end of every episode!!!

this is like enjoying a soft breeze while sitting under a tree on a hill and then a fairy come and do a little magic and make flowers bloom around me and oh my god its the definition of heaven for me thank you so much for putting such and indescribable feelings into this already nostalgic song

I'm Brazilian so I'm using the translator to say this, but I wanted you to know that your voice brought peace to my heart tonight. it's been days getting more and more complicated so being able to finally breathe a sigh of relief for a minute was really great. thanks for that

I found your video on Instagram and that brought me here. It gives me such peace to hear you sing and play the guitar. Keep it up

ive got a soprano chill voice, youre making my voice feek worthy iy

This literally brought tears to my eyes- I don’t really know why, adventure time just holds a special place in my heart from my childhood

This makes me even sad since I experienced Adventure Time from the start as a kid and finished it as a 19year old.

Frank, you have truly put a smile on my face and im sure on everyone elses. I dont think I can say thank you enough.

This is so beautiful. This song has always brought me comfort but this cover makes me feel like I'm being hugged. You sound like my grandfather who passed away during COVID, and hearing this made me remember him

Petition to make this the last ending song of the series

This man needs to be protected at all costs!

This is lovely this is the most beloved grandfather i know

Thank u good sir for reminding me this, oh, so beautiful song from my childhood…

Frank Watkinson: The internet's fantastic musical grandpa

You're such a pure soul, Frank. We all know you've seen so much in this world, even the bad ones. But u always chose love, kindness, and music. Cheers

For what it’s worth, I think your version is beautiful.

I put this on whenever I need to calm down and take a deep breath. Thank you

Honestly didn't expect that this cover would make me tear up with nostalgia and comfort. Thank you ❤

Listening to this made me realise how precious my childhood was🐻

To those who wonder why Frank put "to the town beside the sea" instead of "with the butterflies and bees", it's because he uses the original lyrics by LAKE band, who wrote this beautiful song. Later it was used in the show.

this song and how you did it sent a wave of nostalgia to me I got emotional listening to that thank you for bringing this to me

This sounds like a song at a end of a series of adventures where not everyone gets to see the end of the adventure 🥲

A person who finished entirely whole cartoon near time, I'm gonna sit and cry

This will bring beautiful balance to the internet

This is absolutely beautiful

The dislike is from Marceline's father

I love how his voice so perfectly discribes nostalgia

This is a great rendition. The original sounds like childhood. This sounds like looking back on life through the sane song.

Your the most wholesome gran dad EVER keep singing and never give up your amazing talent

When adventure time ended, I felt like it was the end of my childhood. I realized that nothing lasted forever, one day our friends may move on to their own paths in life. Sometimes that means moving on without you, but I also realized that Im glad that I was there to experience all the fun and hardships we went through. Thank you Frank for covering this song, makes me appreciate life more.

POV: you got goosebumps and almost cried

What a beautiful video to watch for Father's Day.

It makes me think of my beloved... I will gonna show my feelings to him today, wish me luck, Mr. Frank.
