This was another request ,i tried to sing it high at first but the dog started howling so had to do it my way ,just because i can't sing doesn't mean i won't sing .
i wonder what its like having a grandpa. sometimes, i cant help but be jealous of how other people got the chance to bond with their grandpa. the only memory i have with my grandpa are stories told by my mom and dad, stories i am not part of. they passed away before i was even born. and so your voice makes me cry, as if its the same voice as my lolo. keep on singing ok?
In description box is written " Just because I can't sing, it doesn't mean I won't sing".... It's me, when my brothers say you can't sing, I start to sing even louder. This is your way mister, and this the best way...
You remind me so much of my dad. I sadly lost him unexpectedly on the 16th of December. I’m only 21 and I lived at home with him and I’m still really struggling to accept what’s happened. I loved him more than words will ever explain. He was an amazing guitar player but his main talent was his insane bass playing. Thank you for this video it felt like the warm hug I was needing.
I'm sorry to hear that. Such hard things do happen in life, but you'll get through it. From now on, say yes to everything, live your life to fullest, just like your dad would have wanted you to do. Go for it! :)
My ex passed away a few days ago.... listening to this with tears streaming down my face....thank you for helping me in this horrible horrible time....
Cheers to all those who would get this in your recommended 5yrs from now... (2021) Oh also I hope you have a longer life and bless the world with your calm voice🙃
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for performing this cover for me! I’m in tears. This song means so much to me. I was diagnosed in 2002 with Lupus and in 2008 a brain tumor that can’t be taken out and a whole bunch of autoimmune disorders and seizures. My kids were young then so they don’t remember a lot of the stuff we did for fun and that makes me sad. My husband and I are now proud parents of amazing, compassionate, young adults who are all in college and doing well. The three of them have learned to help during and after seizures. Set up and give IV medication the proper way and they are still trying to help me realize when I’m trying to do to much. Now this song has grown with me from tears streaming down my face because I couldn’t replace those memories, then because I can’t regain my prior health, and now I have this amazing song that that made so so happy I cried. I got a notification that you had just put up this song while I was doing middle of the night infusions and I’m glad I got to watch it right away. Thank you and God bless.
You made me feel very humble after reading that ,everybody is fighting some kind of battle and if me doing this song helps a little bit then it was totally worth it. Thank you .
Thank you Christine for calling the tune and thank you Frank from another lovely performance! Stay strong Christine! You inspire me with your story and I pray that one day in a way that you may not understand right now that you'll be healthy again. May God be with you.
Ed M Thank you so much to your kind words. I believe in God, so I’m trying stop the “why me”. I had our pastor once tell me don’t question why but to ask how I could help people in similar situations. A year or so later I had a woman told me that she was glad I didn’t lose my faith. She thought I was an example to others that He had not forsaken me, but was working through me to give others hope. I’m not a shining example but I’m a work in progress.
@@FrankWatkinson Frank, the power in your music performances really touches people lives. I knew all along this would happen, because it did the same thing for me.
My mom died about two months ago after complications from cancer and dementia. I listened to this song constantly late at night, while I was contemplating my feelings after spending the days caring for her. Coming across such a gentle version after her passing is truly healing. Thank you.
Oh maaaan, you hit me with Coldplay, amazing playing, amazing voice, amazing cover... So much feel in the voice, just amazing, well done my friend, keep up the good work
it's impossible not to cry listening to this version. Well done, Sir! I don't know why youtube algorithm brought this channel to me but I sure am grateful
"This was another request ,i tried to sing it high at first but the dog started howling so had to do it my way ,just because i can't sing doesn't mean i won't sing ." I think thats the best Video description I've ever seen.
One day.....Frank one day I wont cry everytime u play, and God I hope that day never comes. We can become so cold and numb, as hard as we try not to. But Frank your songs can reach the deepest feelings we ourselves never knew we even had anymore. Thank you, I fear you may never truly know just what you do for us! I love you frank!! 💓💓💓🎶🤘💓💓
"just because i can't sing doesn't mean i won't sing " Wow! Hey, Frank. That's the motivation I needed. Thanks a ton. Your cover is so soothing. Great work. Keep them coming :)
Frank's "can't sing" is pretty great singing. Just goes to show that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and tones and styles. You'll never know whether people will like you or not until you share of yourself with them. I'm sure Frank never expected that thousands and thousands of people around the world would love his music.
@@jeffroitero4266 he most definitely can't sing in the widely accepted definition, he's actually talking, doesn't really matter though, it's out there and people will enjoy it, if they don't they can move on.. it's nice playing though, not my cup of tea though.
"Fix You" When you try your best, but you don't succeed When you get what you want, but not what you need When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse And the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you can't replace When you love someone, but it goes to waste Could it be worse? Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you And high up above or down below When you're too in love to let it go But if you never try you'll never know Just what you're worth Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you Tears stream down your face When you lose something you cannot replace Tears stream down your face and I Tears stream down your face I promise you I will learn from my mistakes Tears stream down your face and I Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you
I don't recollect listening to the original version. So I went & listened to it after I listened to your version. And I'm back here to listen to your version again. YOURS IS THE BEST. 🙏
Depression has me at end of the rope. Last few months has been bad and it just gets worse. I just want this to end . Go to sleep and never wake up. Tonight I find myself listening to Gods word/music. I belive God heard my cry for help and he's going guide me to the light. Guide me out of this dark hole and back to the happy father & husband I use to be .
I will say a prayer for you right now Dave. Always hold on. Embrace every joy that comes your way and BE a joy to others! Be the light and you will find the light. God bless you.
I was raised by my grandparents and I lost my grandpa 2 years ago. I surely lost someone I can't replace and this video makes me so emotional. Thank you for sharing this, it feels like my grandpa is hugging me from heaven.
i just discovered this tonight and didn’t regret clicking it. thank you for singing me to sleep. u made me feel calm, reassured, serene. thank you grandpa.
I lost the love of my life about a year ago. I still cannot process it. This song has always been one of my favourites. And your singing has given me new meanings to many songs. Thank you Frank. Thank you.
I found you and stayed to listen to you and then I was silent ... It rarely happens to me, when magic comes to you and surrounds you, I remain silent ... Thank you for sharing ...
I'd like to know why the 59 people (at this time) disliked this video? This dude is the man. I hope I'm this cool at his age. Great cover of this song and his voice adds so much character to the song. I'd love to hear him cover Ryan Bingham's, The Weary Kind.
The last 2 years ive been dealing with the fallout of losing my family over poor choices I made. I lost a family of a beautiful wife and 3 girls and will not get them back. This song has always touched me, but the heart that you have put into it really puts the emotion of the song on display. Beautiful version, and yes tears stream when you lose something you can't replace.
good sir, the algorithm has decided now is your time. it is yours. take it and run. be happy. thank you for everything. appreciate all the work you put into this channel. nearly 100,000 subscribers in the past 30 days. life is amazing. you of all people will not take if for granted. let this be a lesson to the rest of you. you never known when life will continue to surprise. stay safe friends, be well.
I wish i met my granpa my parents told me that he was just like you, i want to play songs with him cause because of him im a musician, cause he taught his sons to play the guitar which my father also passed to me. Thank you sir for such a warming performance.
Dear Franky, I always thought of Coldplay as very cheese music, but your rendition reinvents the song totally. Hands down, this is amazing, and I promise you I will learn from my mistakes.
I've cried so many times listening to Coldplay's Fix You. Hearing that version makes me bawl my eyes out. Hearing your rendition makes me stop to take deep breaths. Both versions of songs fill me with hope especially now that I'm hurting.
My grandfather was the worst.. I almost lost faith in all grandpas.. Until i saw this channel. thank you for sharing your precious, soothing videos❤ hoping you're well, sir
What an empathic resonance...I feel the deeply emotional connection. And It's really so healing. I appreciate your dissolving your life into this song.
I've been going through a lot lately and I don't know what do to anymore. I thought I'm already fine and that I'm actually done with stuff thats been haunting me, but I was wrong. this song is like my safe haven and this cover is like giving me a warm and tight hug that I really need right now. Thank you for this, sir. I hope you're happy just like how you made me smile even if tears stil streaming down my face.
There is probably no greatest felling than pick a guitar or other instrument and play something that you are really feeling, thats a lot of perfect covers but the most important thing for the person who plays it at least is not to sing it well or to play it well, but to feel everything to explore the song, to try to laugh, to feel! Dont play it just for fun choose something that you can feel and if you dont know how to do it you have to grow up and life we ll let some scars on you and then you ll see, love you all from Porto, Portugal :)
God bless you, sir. What an amazing, intimate acoustic covers of the best songs known to mankind. As a musician myself, I thank you wholeheartedly for this beautiful collaboration of everything genuine. God bless you, sir. What a beautiful human you are.
Stumbled upon your channel a few days ago and bloody nora Frank, you're doing something really special here. You somehow manage to make these songs entirely your own and bring out emotions that might not even be detectable in the originals. Absolutely cracking work.
I just found your channel! You sing with your whole heart and it's really helped me get through the day. Would love to know more about your background and what has compelled you to sing. Much love and good energy.
