Lonely day, S O A D Song 

Reminds me of when youtube first started... No ads, no selling things, no drama just people doing what they love and sharing it with the world.

Sir, you made the song even sadder than it was. This is the best version I've ever never listen❤

This is Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt level of power and quality .Well done!

💜🫶🏻🩵 the most loneliest day of my life 7/3/2006 buried my youngest son. Beautifully done, good Sir.

The most devastating cover ever! Somebody should tell SOAD about this amazing performance!

This is like Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt. Simply brilliant sir

42 y/o man, and you got my eyes watering… You sing with your heart, and hits hard.

Crazy how this actually is better than a proffesionaly produced song

protect this man at all costs

He is not singing , he lives the song . Never heard something so heart breaking and warming at the same time

This gives me such a Johnny Cash vibe, and it’s wonderful. SOAD has been my favorite band for years and this song is so beautifully done. Great work as always ❤❤❤

its 1:05am. i am sitting here absolutely bawling to this. i cant stop crying what an amazing cover. what a talent.

I'm a 23 year old kid. I dated 5 years and was married 3 with this girl. She took her own life a year ago. Only the nostalgic feeling of this man, who could easily be my grandfather can describe my sadness. God knows there's a lot of sorrow behind your eyes sir. You make me cry with that beautiful cover. God bless you.

please let’s give this man more visuals, he just made a death metal fan cry

Extremely emotional performance. Well done, Frank. Stay healthy.

I'm a life long fan of SOAD. You done this song justice sir. Well done. Thank you.

You made this 29 year old metal fan cry, this is so god damn beautiful in such a somber way.

My brother passed away when he was 18 years old. This song always reminds me of the day he left us. Thank you for this beautiful version. Rest in peace my brother.

If Leonard Cohen covered “Lonely Day” it would sound like this. Breathtaking, chilling, exquisite, bravo sir!!!

U r simply amazing. One of the man who has to live forever. Silvia Lucchini 2024. Italia

This hits way harder than the original. Thank you sir!

The amount of amazing artists that aren’t famous is crazy. Such talent. What a beautiful interpretation, still captures the core emotion.

Abraços aqui do Brasil, aqui ainda tem gente que gosta de música boa. ❤

Please stop chopping onions in my room. Amazing cover.

It's a day I'm glad I survived so I could hear you sing again, thank you for this cover Frank, your voice over such a sad song is really soothing, love you ❤️

Frank, I may be wrong in this assumption, but i feel like this hits you closer to home than some may realize. If thats the case, we're here for you. I think i speak for everyone here, all 591,000 of us, thank you. We love you. Seeing you sing reminds me of my late grandpa singing my different hymns that he sang for church, and for that i want to personally say thank you.

This guy has a true heart for music. Real and raw. Love it.

Just a man, his voice, guitar, and a passion to share his love for music. Refreshing.

My jaw dropped on your first word you sang. God bless you and your gift sir. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.

Please share the HELL outta this song! Let’s get him to a million subscribers. Dude can earn retirement cash by being the badass that he is! I’ve followed him for several years now and he always hits that low-low nerve when you’re just going through something rugged that no human should have to bear. This man is a treasure. Thank you, Frank, for all that you are!

With age comes loneliness, it sucks sometimes

I self wallow in this song since I lost my teenage daughter to murder August 9th 2015. Your rendition is heartfelt and beautiful.

The day my grandfather passed away was the loneliest day of my life. I remember hearing this sad song and others, but this one in particular described how I felt. Your interpretation has left me speechless, I have simply been moved to tears, I can only say thank you, because despite being a sad song in a certain way it comforts my soul. Sorry if my English is bad, I'm Mexican, your biggest Mexican fan since today.

I am chronically ill and also dying. Before I ever read the description, you'd already perfectly expressed the emotion you were trying to communicate to your friend. That's incredible and I'm positive that he was moved by it.

Respect. What a great, special cover from you, Sir Mr. Watkinson. You are a great musician. All the best, good health and thank you for this sensitive interpretation of this song. Greetings also to the sweet cat.

First the title and then the doggo leaving him in the first seconds, it is perfect. Thank you so much for this cover

We all really need to make this man much more seen. He takes these songs that we all love and puts such a beautiful calming glow on to them. Seems to bring out the meaning of the song so much.

Essa versão realmente faz qualquer pessoa chorar. Tem mais tristeza e melancolia que a original. Simplesmente fenomenal! Parabéns

Absolutely beautiful. It’s incomparable with the original not just because it’s a different style but it’s just so damn good. Your playing brought a tear to my eye yet a smile on my face. Not many talented musicians these days, you’re one of the few talented ones.

My heart dropped when you started singing. I felt that pain deep inside, but it was beautiful. I lost my best friend to suicide a 4 years ago. You made my sadness beautiful. That’s not easy to do, so I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your song.

This guy's cover of Snuff is even more heartfelt. So encouraging to see newer music still speaks through generations. I hope he's doing well.

I hope you feel less lonely knowing I'm listening.

When you forget to tell grandpa happy birthday.

This reminds me of Johnny Cash covering Hurt. Lost my girlfriend recently to suicide and I've never wanted to belt the words of a song out more than listening to this. Thank you for providing this. ❤

July 29th 2021 was the most lonely day of my life. The day started off with me screaming for someone to help, my wife was dying in my arms. The day ended with me sitting in an empty house crying and contemplating joining her. That day replays in my head every day, the most loneliest day of my life. Thank you brother, that version made me feel the pain in the lyrics. You sir are and treasure.

Wow... just... wow. Wasn't expecting it to be carried with all this emotion

I'm utterly captivated watching this. Stunning.

This cover is not only a cover, it's a master piece. It makes me remind of my beloved grandfather that passed away due to cancer in 2017. It also makes me think about our future as younger generations, will we be still surrounded by our beloved people or will we be alone when we are olders? What a bittersweet experience you have done, Frank, congratulations.

What a great cover! You sang with pure emotion... Just one guitar, a camera, no autotune, no bullshit... I wish there would be more covers like this. Other RU-vid musicians are just trying to hard and are still not close to your level.

👏👏👏Bravo!! Nice job man, i want hear your voice again AND LOUDER!! i send u a BIG HUG

Came on to RU-vid to check something quick for work. Came across this & now tearing up. A touching cover.

This is how it sounds when words and lyrics are coming from the heart👌

Cool to see an old timer rocking this song. I’m sure he knows more about what it means to be lonely than a lot of the young kids that love this song.

Vous envoyez du lourd avec une pure pudeur et douceur!!! Je vous embrasse. Dans ce monde fou, vous amenez de la douceur dans un monde de brutes.✊

Honestly seeing this man’s videos are beautiful. The emotion when he sings, how calm and smooth the playing is. And how perfect each song sounds is absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing this.

My grandpa died when i was ten. The thing that connected us both was music. He helped me fall in love with learning to play musical instruments, and right now i'm learning how to play guitar. I stumbled onto your channel a while ago, and i just wanna say how much you remind me of my kind, lovely grandpa. Thank you so much for doing what you do. You make this word a better place, and i love you.

my grandfather just passed away. You remind me of him, so i've been watching your videos lots. thank you so much for sharing your beautiful voice with the world ❤️

great cover good sir

The algorithm recommended this for me, and I just assumed it was going to be comedy. Nope, total other direction. Your version of this song is amazing and put me in tears.

Молодец дед!,от души!

I'm not crying you're crying! Thank you for this beautiful rendition ❤

Quelle magnifique interprétation 😮. Bravo cher Monsieur.

I am so grateful to have found your music. I have no words to how beautiful it is.

From now on, I’m your biggest fan from Russia. You made me cry, considering I’m 17 years old. I feel the pain in your voice like you’ve been through something really sad and experienced this "The most loneliest day of my life"... I wish you all the best, Frank Watkinson

I'm not crying, you are. Sir, you're so good at singing.. My entire heart is melting oh my goodness gracious

Beautiful cover.

😢 goddamn... this hits like Cash's HURT 👌🏻 Thank you sir!

sim aqui esta o comentário brasileiro que voce tava procurando... o coroa realmente provocou arrepios que voz poderosa!

As a big soad fan, this was amazing! Hope the band members see this

I grew up with this song. It's the first time I've ever felt it though. Amazing.

I just wanna sit with this man and listen to him at 2am.

Thank you for helping me with one of hardest times of my life. I lost everything... But I'm trying my best to get it back. God bless you sir

Old man has a soul that's seen too much. Thank you for the beautiful song sir. One that I play when I'm feeling down

Из уст этого господина данная песня звучит ещё более одиноко, чем даже в оригинальном исполнении. Видимо ещё у каждого впереди самый одинокий день в его жизни. Браво

Senhor, sou do Brasil. Eu puder sentir esse sentimento universal que você colocou em cada nota, cantada e tocada por suas mãos e voz. Agradeço demais. 😢❤

SOAD's fan... And Johnny Cash's fan... Thanks for bringing them together! Understand who can...

This is officially my favourite version. You always put so much heart and soul into your arrangements.

You made us all freeze in time for a moment, regain perspective, stopped right here, inhale deep. Hats off Sir. We love you

Oh God, I usually listen to sad songs but Sir, you really made me cry, I needed it, thank you, may God bless you Sir

Dear Frank, I've been listening to you for sometime now and I find myself here daily listening to you while fighting my demons. Listening to you really changes my mood and gives me hope in life. I've been trying to find the right form of expression to how your music feels to me but i don't know if this is gonna make sense so here you go. It's like a grandad feeling telling his grandson that don't worry, life is gonna be okay. It's a feeling when everything is coming down in a single go but you're here telling us not to worry. Its a feeling where I feel like I have just had a deep and meaningful conversation with you on how to get back on track and you have shared with me your experience with life and its ups and downs. And most importantly, it feels like I've known you my entire life and while I come across many people in life, I can still open up to you and tell you my struggles. I'm not sure if what I say makes sense but I feel like i am struggling with life and my mental setbacks while here you are comforting me. I always find myself back here especially on a bad day. And this is the therapy that I always needed. It's your emotions and the way you express when singing. It gives me nostalgia of all the good memories from the past, the sadness of the lately and a hopeful future to look forward to. I can't believe I am actually saying this but you just being you on RU-vid is therapeutic for me. Thank you sir for this!

Never did I think a cover could make me feel the same way as the original. And you didn't fear to make it your own while still sticking to its roots.

I am tearing up. That was the most soulful rendition of this song I have ever heard. Beautifully performed.

The hound getting off the couch is so sweet.

amazing, thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

My Grandpa just passed away this weekend and I'm struggling. Been listening to your version of this song all day and it's really helping me through the emotions. Thank you for all your beautiful music!

as someone who's struggled with suicidal depression, this song means a lot to me. this is an amazing cover. you are truly gifted. thank you so much for this.

It's been almost two years since the last time I saw my family. Three and a half years in a foreign contry enduring loneliness with my faithful companions: my dog and my plants. It was a tough year and I've kind of forced myself not to cry, but your interpretation of this song really hit the spot. Thanks, man. You've got a new Colombian follower.

This is beautifully done! It makes SOAD palatable to my girlfriend

Beautiful cover. Not only does the guitar playing sound incredible, but also your voice.

Настолько чувственный и трогательный, что невозможно не проронить слезу.. Спасибо за Ваше чудесное исполнение!❤

Love, LOVE, L O V E THIS SO MUCH!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

guy is so generous he replies to his comments and likes em not many people like that😄

Вы вызвали в моей душе грусть... тоску... печаль... но в тоже время умиротворение. Спасибо Вам огромное и пусть Ваши дни никогда не будут такими одинокими!

This caught me completely off-guard. Having a rough time atm and this cover is so full of emotions. Love your work, Frank

Absolutely hard hitter ....well done

I feel all those years of pain coming out of that beautiful voice, I’m glad you could share it to us all before it’s gone. Have a great life brother and keep it up while you can!!

Never expected to hear you cover System of a Down, I love it! If you ever intend on covering anything else by SOAD I'd love to hear your take on their Roulette, I feel like that song would fit your style very well.

So much emotion into this cover. This really reminds me of Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt by NIN. I could see myself genuinely listen to this whenever i feel down or alone. Hope you're well and excellent cover ❤

This gives me Johnny Cash - Hurt vibes, and it's beautiful. I need to learn to play your version.

I’m a huge fan of this guys music already . Keep them coming !!!!!
