It makes me wonder what was getting brought to the front of the memories when he was singing this song. You can't be a complete human without experiencing true heartbreak. It's what builds. Or destroys. He's such a blessing to this planet, I've been following him for over a year now and watch every single release.
John Prine was the greatest songwriter who ever lived. Many of his songs will make you cry. He wrote songs for almost 50 years, sadly most people don't know how great he was. Check out Souvenirs by John Prine. Get back to me. Even sadder Sam Stone.
Everytime I see Frank Watkinson here on yt reminds me of my Granpa who plays guitar just like him, that we lost to a Cancer 4 months ago. And I learned guitar to play for my grandma who is very hurt to lost the love of her life. I'm now able to play one song granpa plays and my grandma likes it so much. Hey if you read this I don't mainly speak or comment english I just wanna share. Sorry if my English is bad.
My grandpa died 9 years ago, after a long battle with brain cancer. I hope he’s resting peacefully up there, I’ll never stop loving him and missing him. You sang beautifully Frank, thank you for all you do.
There is a quietness in gentleness. And the rough descriptions. Have a broken heart. I love your style of singing. Thank you for sharing all this with us❤
nights are my favourite as i can grief peacefully without being judged. As cry silently all alone in my bed, when not a single person in the world knows what I’m going through, this felt like a hug from my dadaji from heaven.
my cat died in may, she was my best friend and the only animal that ive ever had a connection with. i cry to this song because when she was slowly fading away i would listen to it with her, thats what she loved, listening to music with me. i miss her so much, this song will always have a special place in my heart.
i see myself in you when i get older :) i hope you live a life long enough to continue to bless the internet with your passion for music, grandpa frank
I've been listening to this song on loop for almost two days after I caught my girl cheating on me with my friend...... It actually made me smile to see that you covered it.
Hi Frank! I'm Zoë, I'm 17 and your songs make my day. Sometimes they make me sad with how much i relate to them or like them. I wanted to thank you. You're very sweet and inspiring and seeing you playing guitar and singing, enjoying things, keeps me motivated to go on and chase my dreams. Thank you Frank. I'd like to give you a hug if i had the chance to someday. 🫂
I just adore your voice frank, its so relaxing. My opas been really unwell in the past months and he used to love to sing. He cant anymore, but when you do it reminds me of him. Thank you grandpa, love you
I'm from Russian, but know English quite good, so I want to say, that I have watched your videos through 2 years, you are adorable, I wish you a long life and great health, I hope you will delight us with your covers for a long time to come!
Your covers are truly amazing, your voice is amazing as well as your guitar skills, (you also have a good taste in music!), your old raspy voice makes it feels so melancholic, full of nostalgia and comfort, like a pure hug full of memories. It's always a pleasure to listen to your videos:) take care ♡
Me había lastimado los oídos y tuve que reducir el sonido un tiempo, creí que ya no iba a poder escuchar normal, y hoy que me he recuperado casi por completo y decido que ya es momento de volver a escuchar música sin miedo eres el primer video que me recomendó mis notificaciones. una gloria que la primera canción que escuchara desde entonces fuera esta ❤️ amo tu voz.
This is it right here. My new favorite rendition of this song. I dont ever think it will be beat. You truly have a gift for pulling emotions out of people through music. Please never stop playing
My eyes are welling up over here. We hear this song all the time on RU-vid and Tik Tok. But to hear it through this older gentleman's voice, it just hits on a much deeper emotional level. That was an amazing performance.
So glad to see you're still jaming and having a beautiful voice. God please protect this man.... We cant afford to lose him..... He is such a peaceful spot to stop on in this terrible world. Stay amazing frank....
I just learnt this song yesterday, and I was thinking about how nice it would sound if you made a cover of it. This is amazing Frank, you brought a tear to my eye. ❤️
New fan! I listened to someone's cover of "someday i'll get it" by Alek Olsen. It was good but then another cover of the same song started playing and it was this! Then I went and listened to the original but I like your cover better. So heartfelt and passionate. I love your influences too.
Simplesmente fenomenal, cara essa música já me causa sentimentos, mas escutar uma pessoa de idade com experiência que já deve ter perdidos várias pessoas, parece que a música cria muitos outros sentimentos, simplesmente fenomenal. Thank you Mr Frank for this experience.
Hello Frank, my name is Alex I’m 27 years old and I stumbled across your page today. Thank you for being you and I hope I can heal the world like you one day.
I woke up this morning happy, but then I was told that my cat “panther”died. 😖🥺😢😢He was attacked by my moms other two husky’s dog outside in the backyard. I never thought that he could live his life so shortly. He would always come in my room to sleep, to hang out by the window, and to play around. I’ll miss him when he comes and just casually lay down in my lap. I’ll miss when he comes and cry for water which I give. I’ll definitely miss him hanging out with me in the kitchen, and runs around the house. I’ll miss him when he purs when I pet his head and tummy, and I’ll forever miss him trying to open the door in my room. I really loved that cat. I really miss him every second today. This song is always on repeat. I’m so sorry panther that happened to you. If I was awake and heard the dogs barking outside and attacking u, I would of grabbed u and kept you safe, I don’t even care if I gotten attacked by the dogs. I would’ve saved u, but I guess it was to late. I will always love and miss u panther!! 😢😭(“ I think of you all the time, now that your gone.”)😖🥺
