I've been listening to his songs and I didn't even know he died. I just learnt it a few weeks ago on youtube when I look at the comments. He helped me and I'm sure a lot of other people too but in the end, he's the one who needed help too. I'm not sure how to feel about his death. I'm still in denial.
4 yrs on and I’m not sure how many times I’ve watched this. Still brings tears to my eyes every time. Such a talented man and sorely missed. I remember exactly where I was when I read his last tweet. I hope Scott has found peace wherever his soul has ended up.
I've been avoiding listening to Frightened Rabbits for a long time...I've been listening to a lot of them again as of late. It still pains me to think about Scott and when I hear him sing with the band...just, man, I miss him a lot. Now I'm tearing up in the middle of a work day in the office. His music still has so much impact and will continue to live on. Love you Scott.
Took me ages to come round to listening to them again, I am currently sitting avoiding work in a cafe watching old FR videos and reading all the comments. So dont feel bad about greeting at work thinking about Scott because I do it on the daily.
Well said, I feel the same. I never met the man, I never saw the band live, but when I listen to them and think about what happened, it just hurts. That alone just shows the power of the music and his lyrics.
Alan Morales I’m with you dude, I always feel so sad when I hear his voice and think about how he must have felt, but his music always reminds me of when I struggled and it pulled me and a friend though. So special, it somehow uplifts me and makes me feel sad at the same time now
Just sent the song, wish I was sober to my sister, wish she was, my heart is breaking because of her illness, but I understand it, hard childhood we had, but I know we will get there x
Sometimes i get so depressed and frabbit is what i always turn to. Scott was an awesome writer and sang about about manic depression better than anyone ive ever heard. He helped me through the death of my best friend. The music world lost a great and i hope more people in need of help come across this music. I wish he had someone to do the same for him but his music made me feel like at least one person knew what i was going through.
Without question my favourite band ever, no one comes close, gem after gem. Forever indebted to my brother for introducing me to them, so glad we had the the opportunity and pleasure of meeting Scott, his music will stay with me for life. Rest easy Scott
Everytime I watch a video of Scott I'm gonna comment on it to remind anyone who knew him just how much of an influence he had on people who he'd never met. He knew you and you were so blessed by that. What a difference and joy he made to so many.
Any time I hit a bad patch with my mental health I listen/watch frightened rabbit, it has helped me through alot of bad spells in my life recently from break ups, being sacked and being unemployed, low and skint. Just something about Scott and the band that hits me and lets me let alot of stuff go and try move forward. RIP Scott , a hero, a talent gone far too soon

I don’t know how to say it exactly but even in the eternal sadness of Scott having moved on it warms my heart to read the comments of other folks that loved, respected, and still cherish Scott and the music he gave us. I am forever grateful for the music and what it’ll always mean to me.
Beauty beyond words, What an awful place this world can be. To be so loved and never have known it, at least not enough to make this place worth the pain it takes to endure. When we speak of love, let's all be sure we're acting it out as best we can. Scott said it, let's live it, in his honor. It seems to be that true care is the only remedy for the sickness of this wayward world.
BIBA, I Jope You are all good with me reposting. i will include Your initials as above. You captured what i have felt inside. Thank You All Peace All Love
I keep coming back to this live session, it's just beautiful. Scott's music was clearly his outlet to pour his feeling's into. I've struggled with depression for a long time and for me, listening to Frightened Rabbit is like talking to a friend who knows exactly how you're feeling, it just props me up in a way that no other band manages to. I don't think Scott could possibly know how many people he's helped get through rough times.
This version of Death Dream is beyond beautiful. The poetry and music of Scott Hutchison always makes me feel less alone in the universe. God rest his soul.
Never met the guy . I didn’t pay any attention until after he passed. What a talent. I wish I could just nail it with an inspired comment. I can’t. Just so sad. I sincerely hope you’re at peace pal.
It's gut wrenching to watch. It's so beautiful but so tragic. I have tears in my eyes and mourn Scott's loss but also my own older brother's. My brother Archie was also a musician, he was very creative and smart.. there were many parallels with Scott. My older brother also took me to my first Frightened Rabbit concert. It hurts. We lose so many amazing people to mental illness. And as a person who deals with it too, I wish we could do more. Much love to all you. ❤
I hope he's found they peace that eluded him in this life. What a brave soul for giving all he could and leaving us with an incredibly deep catalog of music. ✌🏻🖤
I wish he was in less pain, wish he was still here, his words were always beautiful. When the good die young it sits like a knot on the gut, a hole in the heart. My favourite FR song changes by mood as it does with album but nothing beats seeing him live.
I’m reading the comments about Scott! I only met him once, when he was playing an intimate gig in Glasgow, but always felt his music brought everyone close to him. I’ve felt the loneliness in life after loss, but can’t imagine what he was feeling on that bridge. Wish someone was there to talk to him.
I remember sitting at my office cubicle on a saturday mornign watching this with tears streaming down my face, and my boss came in to make a sarcastic comment as he wasn't a fan of them at all. It was at the "you died in my sleep last night part" and he just put his hand on my shoulder and said "nice song mate". I know he didn't really like it, but that small moment is just a microcosm of why we love Frightened Rabbit. Life is shit and sad a lot of them, but in those moments we are all united, a universal human experience, sadness, and yet there's something so comforting about knowing we all understand.
outstanding!. I think I've watched everything on RU-vid about Scott and I can't get enough. Such a tremendous loss, If he only knew how much this has impacted everyone. Incredible human being. Fly high Scott
It's still difficult for me to hear Scott, knowing he's gone. I am forever sad that his voice and music helped me find whatever I needed to stay on this planet, and I couldn't do anything to help him find that thing as well. I'll always sing his songs as a way of keeping a piece of him with us.
Its funny how he says thank you to the audience after every single song. We should have been thanking you. Hope you found that peace beneath the roar mate 💙
if only he knew how much he was loved,appreciated and needed.im half a world away and his death left me with a profound sadness that still rears its head when i hear his voice.i can only imagine the pain his family and friends felt. cheers scott
My favourite band since my friend said, hay listen to this it’s a band you’d like. 11 years ago so glad I got the chance several times to see them live!
Keep coming back to this video - amazing vocals and incredible songwriting - to me as a writer Scott was out there in a league of his own. In a world often devoid of real substance this is pure gold. What a band, what a legend 😢
Frightened Rabbit played in Denver in the last year or so leading up to Scott’s tragic passing. I didn’t go, because my ex gf and I had recently broke up and we loved the band so I was sure she’d be there. I’ve never regretted not going to a show more in my life.
I don't put my Thoughts or poetry Here But now it feels I owe you A tribute You've been Narrating my life So I could keep Living it You Taught me That you can sing The songs of mourning Before you leave And there can be Years Between The words You thought were the last of you And the end Thank you For Giving me back Songs to write to When I thought I was looking for A Lament When you Left There was a hole in the world The words you left Can't fill But They're keeping some of us Afloat
Thank you SO much for uploading this! I’ve been trying to access a recording of this session for a while. The whole session is wonderful, but this performance of “The Modern Leper” gave me chills.
Despite the pain this man was in, he always seemed to show us his sense of humor. Abraham Lincoln was a severely depressed man,but known for his joke telling and humorous anecdotes. I have been suffering from mental illness for most of my life. Yet a good joke, afunny story can still make laugh. Humor for some depressed individuals is like waving a fragrant flower past your face, For a few short moments , sadness lifts and joy sneaks in. It is a saving grace. Someday I will go to Selkirk Scotland. I heard there was a beach there dedicated to him. I'll tell him some funny stories, how much his music meant to me,and maybe leave rose or two for him. The sad mad ,whose music was transcendent, whose humor gave joy.
I've only just discovered FR and Scott's work and 'Things' is the one that grabbed me and just shook me in a way I still don't understand.... where I realised this guy is channeling something from a fuckin' higher dimension or something. It's not a song, it's a goddamn portal to transcendence.
I'll miss his voice so much, ive only been a fan a couple years or so when a friend told me about them, I listened to Pedestrian Hhyms and I loved it straight away, so sad 😢
