Frank can hardly even sing this, he's out of tune, shouting, but it just makes it all the honest and real. So emotional. Breaks my heart every time I watch it.
He’s literally singing Scott back into existence and screaming I’m Not Dead. Fucking hell man, that’s one powerful performance. Love them both so much 🖤
wow i wish i was there to feel the love for scott, live. but i can feel frank and comments like these make it close enough. my heart will always ache for scott and his family, friends, and fans.
@@alexandersudheim1699 biffy are also well attached to FR. SN talks so highly of FR so not sure i get where you are coming from with the hate. I do agree FT should have been on the record
@@christopherallen4827 ikr, the "self-absorbed histrionics" is how you described 1975, not biffy ffs. clearly you have no idea how huge their impact has on rock scene. punk genre, mathrock, pop, industrial, metal. basically... you can find each of these genres in almost all of their songs. the fact that you went with self-absorb histrionics ironic cuz ... y r u making this unnecessary yelling and overdone gesture for? @Alexander Sudheim

oh christ, its watching a heart breaking on stage. Frank is so raw and upfront with is emotions and yet able to not break down completely. Seeing him sing it, broke me and I only discovered Scott today
Chris Pepper im glad u discovered him. frank was so right in that we need to just continue to let everyone know how great he was by carrying on his music.
It would have been Scott's 40th birthday today. It's been 3 and half years since the one time i watched this video, left a comment and balled my eyes out, revisisted for the first time today.... saw so many likes and just thought wow, there will never be another like him. Utter genius. Still unsure how Frank got through this that night
@@boarderjm when people ask me about my favourite records, I always mention the midnight organ fight, the amount of comfort that record has brought me over the past few years (especially the past few months) in indescribable. I have make tiny changes tattooed on thigh, that’s all we can expect to make
I am ill but I’m not dead, and I don’t know which of those I’d prefer. Imagine singing that line the day you found out your friend is dead from suicide. Absolutely amazing of FT to perform such an emotional tribute so soon after Scott’s passing.
8 months in and it’s still no easier. I don’t think a single singer/actor/writer etc has ever affected me in the way Scott did with his passing. I think of him almost every week; I think of how I’ll never see him live again, how I’ll never hear his heart poured out over the strings of his ratty old acoustic. I think about his family, and his friends, and Frank.. it’s enough to bring a man to tears.
You know someone's art has touched you when you cant strop crying at every god damn tribute and word of kindness for a guy that i've only seen on a stage. Keep telling myself the tears are good for me but right now they're just painful. No idea how Frank kept it together because I sure as hell haven't been.
I've had a rough 2020, and I'm sure many people have. I found Frank Turner back in April, and was instantly hooked. I found Frightened Rabbit in July, and was instantly saddened by the history. This video quickly became my favorite live performance by anyone. It is so emotional, so raw, so real. It's a man singing his friend's song while still in shock that his friend cannot sing it with him ever again. I have no idea how FT made it to the end of this song.
damn. I found this video 3 weeks ago. I didn‘t know anything about Scott. 3 weeks of frightened rabbit later and I am impressed that Frank could sing one note of this Song. I couldn‘t. R.I.P. Scott FCK Depression
We were on holiday in London and went to this gig. I didn't know about Scott's passing until Frank played this song and it broke my heart. One of my favourite writers ever, I hope he found peace.
Having met Scott several times (Including talking about life and stuff and sharing a drink or more at Electric Fields festival) this is a great tribute to an unbelievable person who is sadly missed. Scott lives on through his music and all those who perform it.
I started listening to FR when Scott had already left us. And just watched this video for the first time. Jesus. I've cried many tears for Scott, and these were the quickest to start. Amazing moment, thankful it was captured, to share the depth of the loss that many have felt, just knowing Scott is gone. But. What Frank said is really everything. Keep playing the music and letting everyone know how fucking amazing Scott was. ❤ It was a good cry, thanks Frank.
I saw the headline accidentally while I was out a few days ago when I glanced down at the articles on the new tab page of my chrome app, which I never do. I was already feeling really low and I couldn't even process how sad this made me. His music meant more than a great deal to me. I've been too scared to even listen to his music since, even though I love it, even though I badly needed to. When I saw this video, I knew I just had to take that plunge. Frank's words were exactly what I needed to hear right now. Watching this really helped me heal a little bit, or at least helped give me that small push to start moving forward again.
Anisia Villamejor I feel ya. Frabbit came into my life when I was in some dark teenage days and I was a heavy listener for years, faded away from listening to music all together after becoming depressed again. The news of Scott brought me back to listening to the entirety of the band. I even bought a book he illustrated for. His voice and lyrics bring new meaning. I am in a good place right now but I couldn’t tell him thank you enough for what he did. And continues to do through his music. I hope where ever he is now he FINALLY know how loved he was and missed he is. 🤘🏼🐇
Oh wow, I looked into the book you mentioned and it's beautiful. And truly, Scott's work will never stop being important to me. His words got me through so much and I still fall back on them when things get hard.
„I am ill but i‘m nur dead“ is one of the grearest lyriks of all time. Please please Talkt to someone. Please. Talk to 911 or if you don‘t want to spake, just Tell anybody.
It's so hard for me to watch, but this is one of the most loving, touching tributes I've seen. After watching the video with the two of them together, seeing this one just with Frank Turner... it hurts so much. Especially when he reaches the line "I am ill, but I'm not dead" and he nearly breaks. But so much love is here, I can't help but love this so, so much.
9 months late to this but I remember the day it was reported Scott went missing and I remember so clearly the day I read he had been found, heart broke that day. Hearing this I can hear the pain and cracks in his voice during this performance that we all felt that same day.
thank you for recording this and making it available for us all as we grieve. watching Frank give this insanely powerful and emotional tribute is so hard and so lovely.
i think >10 years of struggling is long enough... can't have asked for much more than that. i will always miss him as if he was a best friend but my heart only hurts because of the fact that he went on hurting for so long...
I know this is years after you commented, but I think at this point (before meeting his wife) Frank was almost entirely driven by the idea that playing live shows could cheer people up for a few hours, I think letting down his paying audience would've been unimaginable for him. A similar thing is Weird Al Yankovic, who played a gig hours after finding out both his parents had died at the same time. Top performer's brains are not wired the same as you or I.
