Now available on Spotify etc... Have been requested this one quite a few times , so this is my take on a variety of covers i have seen of this. How i played it • Up on melancholy hill,...
When I was 19 I would often listen to this song on the bus on my way to visit my dad in the hospital when he was going through treatment for leukemia. Thanks for the beautiful cover.
A touching memory with a powerful connection to this particular song. Thank you for sharing. I'm happy your Dad is recovering. I'm a Dad myself now and I'm very moved by stories like yours. My Son is 3 and he woke up this morning and told me he loved me. What a great start to the day, I am very lucky. I hope you have a great day wherever you are too.
My grandmother passed 2 days ago and this appeared on my recommended, I don’t think I’ve cried this hard in my life, this cover is beautiful and shows how people from older generations can appreciate music today and put their own gorgeous spin on the song, I know she would have loved this and wouldn’t have believed this to be “new music” I just wish I could show her this and enjoy it together, I love you so much grandma rose, I miss you too much❤️
Just saw your "This could be my last song" video and it warms my heart to see you're still kicking. Your playing skills are beautiful and I'm glad you're recording your songs. Have a blessed day!
Good songwriting is good songwriting. You can take the song and change it to any instruments while still sounding special, it's a well written song. Damon Albarn is an amazing songwriter, and it's definitely not just limited to young people!
This song carried me in the toughest times, so it has a special place in my heart. Your cover really makes me feel like we’re gonna be alright. Thanks Frank, you’re a gem
This was one of my brothers favorite songs of all time. Been almost a year since he passed away and your version has me sobbing like a baby. Thank you for sharing 💜
I’m so sorry to hear about your brother. This song was the first I could manage to listen to and even slightly enjoy, weeks after losing my best friend unexpectedly a decade ago. It holds a special place in my heart too ❤️
I did NOT expect to hear such a beautiful voice when I clicked on this video! This was so nice to listen to, I felt like I was floating gently down a river and at total peace :) please post more covers you very talented gentleman!
I have never been moved this much by music. If feels like you’re telling a life story in your voice. Something that could make me cry. Reminds me of my Grandfather. Man I miss him so much. And you, damn. You really made me shed a few tears.
all of your videos make me want to cry, but in a good way. as someone who never had a dad or grandpa in my life, it’s nice to watch these videos and imagine you as my grandpa playing a song for me. it always clears my head and calms me down to hear you play. thank you for showing us your beautiful music
I also think this is great. It seems like if you put the capo up one or two frets your voice would be more comfortable. Seems like your right on the edge of your range on those low notes. Awesome cover all the same.
You know, I rarely comment on videos. But this video damn moved me to tears. I have to comment and just tell you how wonderful of a cover this is. You have turned an already emotional, beautiful song into something more and its incredible. Your voice reminds me of my own grandfather who I unfortunately cannot see, as he used to sing songs when I slept over at his house when I was young. Nostalgic... I don't want to say much, but life has been overwhelming recently as I begin to prep for college. To cope, I've started to explore new song genres, and a revisit of Gorillaz (I used to listen to some of their popular songs growing up) was apart of that. On Melancholy Hill helps calm me down in times of dire stress. Thank you so much for making this. You have made my weekend. ❤
I never felt this way finding a song by the youtube algorithm, and this is so wholesome. I hope you keep doing this to make other people feel this good listening to your masterpiece voice and guitar playing. All the love
It's been a while since I've felt such raw emotion from a song. This brought a tear to my eye, reminds me of my late uncle and all the songs he used to enjoy humming and singing to himself. Thank you sir.
Not only was I moved to tears by your cover of my favorite song, I started playing guitar again because of it. Remind me a lot of my Grandpa. Thanks for sharing your talents with us 🥲
I'm struggling to put into words how much I enjoyed this rendition. Thank you for this gift to the world. And thank you for the inspiration to try to work on my own piano cover for this wonderful piece.
Currently going through the worst period of my life and feel so alone and helpless. Found this song about a week ago and has been my comfort place giving me some peace. Thank you so much for this awesome cover. Really hope a year from now I will be waking up relaxed and happy.
This is so beautiful. Gorillaz is my favourite band and this is one of my favourite songs by them, and you captured it so beautifully while also adding so much of your own heart and soul into it. I love it!
I want to believe that I am just looking out on the day of another dream. The past weeks have been hard as two of my cats - my best friends, are battling with a severe illness. I am glad to have found this cover as it gave me some form of courage to see things through 'til the end, no matter the outcome. Thank you very much. I hope you are well and okay, Frank.
If you played this to somebody unfamiliar with the song they would be convinced this was the original. Hits the sweet spot of melancholy where it is alright
Not really sure why this was on my recommended feed due to how different it is from the usual videos I watch, but I’m happy to have clicked on it. It scratched an itch in my brain that I didn’t know needed scratching. Thanks for the amazing cover!
I remember plastic beach being the first CD I ever bought and I instantly fell in love with Melancholy Hill. I remember when I was making my first drive to move to another state for school, I blasted this song almost none stop since bluetooth/Aux cords were still a new thing and my car didnt have it. This melody off and on became somewhat of a background song for most my early adult years. I still go back to it from time to time for a bit of nostalgia and comfort. Hearing someone play it in such a somber way, almost vocalizing the way this song makes me feel inside is such a good feeling. Thank you for doing this cover, I really enjoyed it.
my mom and I used to listen to this song together all the time. we’re estranged unfortunately (I wish we weren’t) this made me miss who she was before. thank you so much for this rendition it made me reminisce on my happiest childhood memories. ❤️
That voice, stripped down acoustic, gave this song a whole new life. Calm, peaceful, insightful. I want to sit and listen to you sing and tell stories all night long. Absolutely beautiful, thank you.
I must have heard this song a hundred times, in all manner of versions and covers. Yet the moment your song started I was in tears. It was like hearing the song all over again, and falling in love with the song all over again. Thank you, sir! It was absolutely wonderful!
It's so refreshing to see someone of the older generation showing their love for music through videos online. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world Frank. Keep on rocking! ❤️
Awesome tune Frank..Love your versions so much. This is one that I've heard before but i never expected you to cover it, so glad you did!! We Love you Frank and this channel,appreciate your time and effort on all you do. Give Marshall a hug. Much Love from OHIO ❤
Hi, Frank! I hope you’re doing well. I just want to say thank you for sharing your beautiful voice & art with us. I came across your music today & feel very blessed by it. As a small artist myself, I can only hope for my heart and soul to shine as prevalently as yours someday. You’re an inspiration my friend ❤️
I absolutely love this. Beautiful work, Mr. Frank 😄❤️🖖 Why does this hit the soul harder? Is it the calm and relaxing voice... Oi. I feel like crying. Lol.
Hi there. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing this. Your music and singing are absolutely wonderful. I’m so glad to have stumbled across your channel. I can’t wait to listen to more.
I want to see myself on a hill by the sea. Gathered with family and friends...on picnic tables enjoying refreshing drinks, calming conversations, a gentle breeze, and this song. ☺️
Hey Frank! I remember emailing you this request, I didn't think much of the email and I really didn't want to bother you, as I'm sure you get a load of requests. But it made me so happy to know that other people wanted you to sing this song too! You have such a gentle voice, and hearing my favourite song sung by you is such a treat. Thank you so much, this is one of my favourite covers of the song. Gorillaz themselves have done an acoustic cover of this song, and I'm sure Damon Albarn would be proud of the cover you did of his song! Thanks a million for covering this song. Kind regards, Jake
This is one of the most calming and beautiful videos I have ever watched/listened to, almost getting emotional over here. Thank you Frank, you have made my day :)
I listen to your channel almost every night before bed. I Lost my papa a few years ago and something about your voice makes me feel like I’m with him, he was a such a peaceful and loving man.
I've only ever heard your cover of snuff by slipknot prior to this video coming across me. That being a video that has gotten me through my worst and best times. The amount of love you have put into the universe is a truly admirable and beautiful thing. Thank you so much for sharing your passion with us ❤️
This man gives of such a gentle and safe feeling, I could listen to this for hours. (For my fellow TLoU fans; This would definitely have been Joel when he would have gotten older :’))
Oh man, this makes me imagine frank singing shawn james' the guardian (ellie's song) or through the valley. Would have hit so hard to see joel's image in the singing
@@kaikii14 •0• he apparently has done “through the valley” already, he linked me it in another comment :DD -> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6XYcO4Dzsrc.html
