Age is a strange thing just when you've gathered all this talent and intelligence in walks the prince of death taking you and all you've gathered through your life into another dimension as is the case with my wife 😢😢😢😢
Now remember what you said here the next time you see one of us elderly people out there ! Cuz That's exactly how most of us feel every day.❤ I feel 30 in my beat up 64 yr old bodie.
Im Korean. Now it is night in Korea. I listened to your song with my dog in bed. I cried because I missed my grandfather. Thank you. You made me remember my loved ones.
This is the living example that you don't need to sing very high notes, decorate with vibratos or falsettos or have a super voice for a song to reach your soul, it only takes the purest feeling of the soul for a song to become a one of the best, and I liked this interpretation too much. Congratulations to this gentleman.
The notion that your being 74 is somehow strange that you would love Radiohead is lost on me - Brother, you simply have the years of life experience to know a great song when you hear it - you my Brother, have great taste in music!
hey friends. I hope you all are safe n healthy. I'm 23. I thought maybe some of u guys can sugges me few good songs (anything to your liking ). thanks for reading .
Your voice carries such tenderness and wisdom, Frank. A seasoned voice that has aged like wine. It's like listening to a sunset. Every song you cover, you give it such a wistful and beautifully melancholic aura. Thank you for your interpretation of this iconic song.
For the last 3 minutes, and 30 seconds, I had no worries. Nothing to do, nowhere to go, no bills to pay. I was truly caught up in your song. Pure, simple, and perfectly melodic. Thank you for playing this today
Please, please do listen to the original! The two are so vastly different that I think it's an epic battle that wages the war of the times in which each were sung! So beautiful!
I love the way you interpret songs. To me it almost feels like you are telling us your own feelings and story instead of doing a cover of someone else's music. Excited to see what else you cover.
This is the most beautiful man I have even been lucky enough to be in the presence in I’m so grateful to the world that I got to stumble across your Chanel please never stop your the light of my life and the best virtual grandad across the internet you made me cry so much❤️❤️❤️❤️
To any naysayers, this is a storyteller. And I believe every single word he sings. At 52, this hits much different than it did 30 years ago. Beautiful!
This songs appeals to all of us who feel unloveable, misunderstood and unappreciated. Your rendition has a quiet but gut wrenching rawness which is incredibly moving. Thank you
I'm only halfway through and covered in goosebumps, literally about to cry! You said it perfectly. This is an amazing rendition of an already classic song.
get this man a spotify please!! i love the way you sing frank, it makes every cover you do unique with it’s own melancholy tone. it’s just beautiful, thank you so much.
if you use a distributor like Distrokid they take care of the song licensing of cover songs for you for you @@FrankWatkinson . i use the service myself and its great and they put all your music to all platforms. you can choose to upload singles or albums, your choice, cheers!
I am 58 guitarist also. I got to say I’ve heard this song so many times. But this is the first time I ever cried listening to it. Great job sir. Love it. 🔥😎
@@FrankWatkinson no sir, thank you I needed a good cry and you seemed to help me out with that so thanks to you and your wonderful version of this heartfelt song.
Yes....such a powerful rendition! I, too, cried for the first time tonight listening to YOU singing this song. Usually this is an anthem to sing really loud in the car, but you added such depth. Thanks for helping us to process our deepest guarded emotions. ❤
Don’t know how this landed in my feed but I’m so glad it did. I’m sixty and have been playing guitar since I was 12. If you’re lucky enough to get older, someday, you’ll understand lyrics like these in a profoundly different way. Just because we’re older doesn’t make us “old”. It wakes us more keenly aware of what life offers, and what it takes away. Thanks for this heartfelt rendition. Well done, sir.
My Nonno (grandfather) used to sing with the guitar and had a voice like this Italian artist Claudio Villa. Seeing you sing has brought a tear to my eye just before I fall asleep. I appreciate the advice, the opinions the older generation can offer us. You have experienced depressions, wars, a complete 360 with the way we use technology- all in one lifetime. Your wisdom really emanates so strongly through your song ❤.
Frank, I hope all of the cacophony of people giving you praise hits you the way it should. As a ride-or-die Radiohead fan, this was absolutely wonderful. Please, keep sharing. This was so so good to hear.
Frank, I was just overjoyed to discover that you have your own songs on Spotify and I’m blown away by the voulnerability and thoughtfullness you express in your music. Thank you for sharing it with the world ❤
I genuinely needed this i am still crying after 4x the video's length. I have never been able to understand the lyrics until now despite being on my playlist for years. This is my inturpritation: Its a completly accurete (at least in my experience) dipiction of someone who is suisidal after a heartbreak, hating their looks, hating the way they act, hating the accomplishment they achieved. I am adding this to my top 4 songs to cry my heart out to. -Hate me by Blue October -Into the ocean by Blue October -Your cover of Creep. -Hurt me by Jonny Cash (cover of Nine Inch Nails' song)
I'm 42 years old so I'm very familiar with this song. The older I get, the more profound the words seem. Never, have i seen them delivered in such a beautiful manner and I thank you so much for sharing this. This just seems like the most perfect blend of ability and emotion. A truely beautiful moment was captured here.
Im 48 and remember very clearly when this song came out. It made me cry then and still does today but with a totally different understanding and more mature emotions. Thanks for sharing my friend. It was beautiful!
I’m 70 and I haven’t played much lately because of arthritis in my fingers but you’ve just inspired me to get busy and make some music. This was awesome. I really enjoyed it. ❤
@@meowsaidthecat82 Thanks but I can’t use toxic creams because my I’m always petting my cats and they’re always licking my hands. That’s why I won’t use the diclofenac the doc gave me, either. Appreciate the tip though.
@@hellinahandbasket2 As far as I know, Arnica is not toxic. Animals tolerate a small amount. I used Arnica also on my horses inflammation in the legs. Tincture is homeopathic, that is the difference. Water is toxic too if you consume too much.
My dad passed away this morning from cancer, and he played music all of his life. Loved the guitar. I just came across this… 😢and absolutely love it. Reminds of my daddy and what he loved to do. 🙌💚Absolutely Beautiful!!! Thank you. Love & Light. 🌹🕯️🪽
I'm so very sorry for ur loss but it can heal or a song come on at the most imperative time. If ur one that believes in signs, as I 💯% do, that was your dad reaching out to u that he's still there... I'm by no means any like real psychic, but I've gotten messages & feelings... It's hard to explain without sounding ridiculous & attention seeking.. It's nothing big, but it's happened literally my whole life, starting really little like I was 6 or 7 my mom said... So I just wanna validate it was ur Dad with u... If u don't believe in that stuff or me passing it on to u that's totally OK.. U have my deepest sympathies.
I once read somewhere that Creep is one of those songs that feel silly and juvenile most of the time but every so often, under the right circumstances, will absolutely break your heart, and I don't think I really got that until now. This lovely, soulful song brought me to the brink of tears and yet it makes me feel understood somehow. Thank you for this beautiful cover ❤
This is geniually the best radiohead cover i've heard in my entire life. I have tears in my eyes as im writting this comment. Thank you so much for making my week so much better
I think Thom and the gang liked the song, otherwise they wouldn't have released it. It's just it was played so much in their early days and it's the song they're most known for, so they got tired of it
Wow, I’m so glad I stumbled upon this. Your voice has so much raw emotion and meaning to it, it’s so heartfelt. Thank you for such an outstanding cover. Absolutely beautiful
Wow, this is absolutely beautiful. I just turned 71 last month and I know for sure that inside you're still the same person you were half a century ago. I'm so glad you decided to record this and put it out there to share with all of us. I'm going to subscribe to your channel in the hopes that you will keep singing...
Wow. Just wow. I’ve heard many covers of this song. None like this. I think so many musicians are focused on getting the climax of that song done right that they forget what the song is about. This version was brilliant. I wholeheartedly believe this man has someone special who he is singing about. He really makes you slow down and appreciate what this song is about. Well done Sir, well done.
I feel like I’m hearing this song as it was meant to sound, you sing like a narrator envisioning a real character going through his emotions. Truly powerful. Thank you for posting this
I LOVE the emotion encapsulated in your version, it feels so somber yet calming and comforting. You're incredibly talented, Frank, we're blessed to have you.
My uncle is currently dying, he’s got a few days - a week to live. His last words to me were “you’re so pretty.” He can no longer type. I sent him a goodbye video, and he smiled at it. This song / cover is helping me a lot through this 🤍, thank you.
got distracted while studying, stressed out for college midterms, i was scrolling on youtube and came across this. this calmed me and made me so happy. it motivated me. this version of the song is so heartfelt, it felt like i reunited with an old friend. i haven't really listened to this song since high school, and it made me think of how happy i was. i'm happy now. thanks.
My father passed away from cancer 4 months ago. He was a teacher, but one of his passions and what he considered his calling was music. Cancer took him too early from us. I remember him teaching me this song when I wanted to learn guitar from him, but I never really picked it up. Now, as i turn 17, I promised to carry on his music. You remind me of the good days when he was around. It hurts so much but it brings me comfort. Thank you.
Sending you love & light 💖🌟 Music has carried me through the darkest times of my life and been the joy in some of the most beautiful. Making music has saved my life and the lives of people I love. It is the stuff of timelessness itself.
I‘m a Korean studying in Australia. TH-cam's algorithm brought me here. Today was a really exhausting and tough day for me. However, thanks to your nice songs, my mood has improved. Please continue singing for a long time. Thank you so much.
This was the best delivery of this song I’ve ever heard. Everyone else tries so hard to belt it like some cabaret singer… you sang it like you wrote it. Bravo sir
Played this song my senior year in marching band, had a duet at the beginning of it too. Your merch video for your “virtual grandchildren” just came up on my recommended. My grandpa also passed a little over a month ago. This song touched me in every single way.
In a world increasingly obsessed by gimmicks and bullshit, THIS is the kind of simple yet powerful authenticity that we increasingly crave. Beautifully done. Thank you.
Maybe it's only me, but I was ready to get up and give this gentleman a standing ovation! Your version has tears streaming down my face. Wow.. bravo!!! 😮😢👏
I usually say that «Creep» should not be covered by anybody, because not a single soul can show the full anguish of this song and they mostly just sing it kinda sad. But you actually managed to show it perfectly, touching my heart. I just want to say that you’re absolutely amazing, keep it going Frank!
Yes . This was very nice. Glad to see someone closer to my age do this song. However, if you want to see soul, and the first time I heard this song, watch a guy in an apparant NYC subway station sing with Guitaro5000 on TH-cam (th-cam.com/video/OVeLgYVSfCA/w-d-xo.html).
You guys didn’t get me. It’s not about how “professional” or just nice you sing the song. It’s about pure feelings. Concentrated depression, mental collapse, that’s what it is. And this gentleman did it absolutely perfectly.
I was sitting in the middle of a forest when I clicked on this, just listening to the vocals and how the guitar gets progressively louder is so surreal to me, it felt as if I was in a movie so I just wanna thank you for that experience and if this was disappointing to you I just want to let you know that I appreciated it and will have it on repeat for a long time 😊
Wow…. This is such a sweet sounding version of this song! I don’t find many covers of Creep that I enjoy but I really like this interpretation. Beautiful! Thank you ☺️
You've simply melted my heart. Such a beautiful and powerful talent you have. TH-cam just recommend me your song and you've won a loyal subscriber. I send you a warm hug from the Caribean, Domincan Republic. 🤗
I know it's just a cover of a song, but that one "but I'm not special" sounded to real for me. Therefore I want to let you know that you are very special to me. I love listening to your covers and just laying there and enjoying every single little note. You are very loved
Your interpretations are peaceful and benevolent, no matter what the song. A kind of silent music, for the listener to contemplate. You sing and the world slows down, Frank. Very few achieve that. Greetings from Argentina.
From all the covers of creep I have listened this one is the best one the way he pronounces the words the way he sings the way he plays damn you are pure perfection and that word disappointment does not define this video and never will I am sure
Covers that hit harder than the original. Your voice adds depth to the lyrics. Your experience adds emotion. An influx and infusion of memories, feelings, and realizations. All that triggered by your awesome cover.
Tears in my eyes. Absolutely amazing, i loved every part of it, everytime i hear the song it makes me sad but happy. And this version of it was absolutely beautiful. Thank you
Hello Frank, this is Di in Australia. I wanted to let you know how wonderful you are to take the most unlikely song and give us a rendition that makes me cry. In fact, you’ve inspired me to get out my own guitar and start singing and playing again. Just for myself and my cats. I can’t thank you enough for helping me at the most difficult time of my life. Big hugs 🥰
@MrsT1904 I just said a heartfelt prayer for you, Di in Australia. I’m so sorry for your troubles and pain right now. Life can be hard to bear sometimes. I have so much admiration for your courage right now. Your idea of getting your guitar out and singing and playing again sounds like a really good one. Sending you some love from Connecticut in the USA.
@@FrankWatkinson I have a cat here at the moment and am (was) currently playing this song on a steel string acoustic, to him. He loves it. Not because I am a great guitar player but because he can pick up on the feeling that I feel. I am also from Australia.
I’m speechless, this was profoundly moving!!! Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart to yours ,❤Frank! 😊 🙏🏽🥹✌🏽🙌🏽👌🏽🫶🏽May health and good measure follow you all the days of your sweet life🙏🏽
this is genuinely so heartwarming🙁I've been binge watching so many of your videos, and they make me so emotional. I really enjoy them, they sound so beautiful and heartfelt. thank you!!!
This is ridiculously good! An amazing interpretation filled with so much depth and experience. No fancy technical gimmicks, just a beautiful deep voice. A man who truly knows his instruments.
I have chills, this is amazing. I’ve only recently discovered your channel but I’m totally blown away by your covers and wish I’d found you sooner. Absolutely beautiful.

Age is such a strange thing. This is clearly a young man playing a guitar, feeling the music in his soul. It just so happens that his body got old.

Very true. One does need to hit each note well, though, which Frank did beautifully.
I mean he does have a great voice, but what you said was true. You don't need one to make a good song
the original belongs to us though i wouldn't trade that song for any cover... So far
He sings it better than anyone half his age tbh
So true.
So much emotion in your voice and performance. 😢
wasn't expecting to see thinknoodles in the comment section of a video like this

Thanks but I can’t use toxic creams because my I’m always petting my cats and they’re always licking my hands. That’s why I won’t use the diclofenac the doc gave me, either. Appreciate the tip though.
@@hellinahandbasket2 As far as I know, Arnica is not toxic. Animals tolerate a small amount. I used Arnica also on my horses inflammation in the legs. Tincture is homeopathic, that is the difference. Water is toxic too if you consume too much.
You're so special, Frank. You are so loved. Thank you so much for showing us your talent. Live a lot and healthy ❤️
Mind blown. You hit every feeling I’ve heard for years, imposter syndrome, inferiority, self-loathing,.. this felt personal. Perfect
My dad passed away this morning from cancer, and he played music all of his life. Loved the guitar. I just came across this… 😢and absolutely love it. Reminds of my daddy and what he loved to do. 🙌💚Absolutely Beautiful!!! Thank you. Love & Light. 🌹🕯️🪽
I’m so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you, and you’ll always have him in yours in thought and memory, don’t forget that 🤍🕊️
im so sorry for your loss😕
im so sorry for your loss
@@lamng1553 💓Thank you💓
I'm so very sorry for ur loss but it can heal or a song come on at the most imperative time. If ur one that believes in signs, as I 💯% do, that was your dad reaching out to u that he's still there... I'm by no means any like real psychic, but I've gotten messages & feelings... It's hard to explain without sounding ridiculous & attention seeking.. It's nothing big, but it's happened literally my whole life, starting really little like I was 6 or 7 my mom said... So I just wanna validate it was ur Dad with u... If u don't believe in that stuff or me passing it on to u that's totally OK.. U have my deepest sympathies.
I once read somewhere that Creep is one of those songs that feel silly and juvenile most of the time but every so often, under the right circumstances, will absolutely break your heart, and I don't think I really got that until now. This lovely, soulful song brought me to the brink of tears and yet it makes me feel understood somehow. Thank you for this beautiful cover ❤
This is geniually the best radiohead cover i've heard in my entire life. I have tears in my eyes as im writting this comment. Thank you so much for making my week so much better
I always loved creep... It's too bad that Thom never liked playing it , his fans really enjoy the song. Nice cover, sir!
Jesus loves you🫶🏽😊
He actually loved it dont lie!!
@@lislainy1553 I love your 🕳️
I think Thom and the gang liked the song, otherwise they wouldn't have released it. It's just it was played so much in their early days and it's the song they're most known for, so they got tired of it
He didn’t like playing it because he stole it from The Hollies - The Air That I Breathe
you have no idea how happy it makes me listening to your covers. There is absolutely no disappointment here. Thank you for everything
I’ve heard a million versions of this song, but I’ve never cried at one until now. Beautifully done
Same here ♥️
Same 😢
That three and a half minutes just changed my perspective of life a bit.
Wow, I’m so glad I stumbled upon this. Your voice has so much raw emotion and meaning to it, it’s so heartfelt. Thank you for such an outstanding cover. Absolutely beautiful
He came up on my recommendations and I'm not disappointed. Honesty thus man is far better than what I know the songs for 💜
check his song, "somewhere in the night"
Wow, this is absolutely beautiful. I just turned 71 last month and I know for sure that inside you're still the same person you were half a century ago. I'm so glad you decided to record this and put it out there to share with all of us. I'm going to subscribe to your channel in the hopes that you will keep singing...
С днем рождения❤
Thankyou
Wow. Just wow. I’ve heard many covers of this song. None like this. I think so many musicians are focused on getting the climax of that song done right that they forget what the song is about. This version was brilliant. I wholeheartedly believe this man has someone special who he is singing about. He really makes you slow down and appreciate what this song is about. Well done Sir, well done.
I concur. Absolutely the same way I felt when listening.
❤
I wish I was this special woman he's singing about
❤ I've heard this special song done by many incredible singers. This one is my favorite. Thank you ❤
Disappointment? Oh no, sir, there was NO disappointment! Stunning and emotional rendition, beautifully done--thank you!
Coming from a Radiohead Nerd, this is breathtaking. You’re not crying, I’m crying!
I feel like I’m hearing this song as it was meant to sound, you sing like a narrator envisioning a real character going through his emotions. Truly powerful. Thank you for posting this
So true and thoughtfully said.
❤
So true, it’s like the song has a different meaning
I feel this comment ♡
Wow. Thanks so much for your approach to my favorite song ever! It was literally on brand for the emotions from the original song! Thanks again! 🙏
Thank you.
I LOVE the emotion encapsulated in your version, it feels so somber yet calming and comforting.
You're incredibly talented, Frank, we're blessed to have you.
Amazing. This reminds me of Johnny Cash's cover of Sting's "I hung my head".
Yes! Good comparison!
Yes, it sounds like Johnny Cash!
I was gonna comment that he reminds me of Johnny Cash 👍🏻
I was thinking the same thing
Or Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt by Nine Inch Nails.
My uncle is currently dying, he’s got a few days - a week to live. His last words to me were “you’re so pretty.” He can no longer type. I sent him a goodbye video, and he smiled at it. This song / cover is helping me a lot through this 🤍, thank you.

I’m sitting here with my dying sister and brother in law. I feel your pain ❤️
My aunt just passed away a few hours ago, this interpretation resonates with my experience
got distracted while studying, stressed out for college midterms, i was scrolling on youtube and came across this. this calmed me and made me so happy. it motivated me. this version of the song is so heartfelt, it felt like i reunited with an old friend. i haven't really listened to this song since high school, and it made me think of how happy i was.
i'm happy now. thanks.
My father passed away from cancer 4 months ago. He was a teacher, but one of his passions and what he considered his calling was music. Cancer took him too early from us. I remember him teaching me this song when I wanted to learn guitar from him, but I never really picked it up. Now, as i turn 17, I promised to carry on his music. You remind me of the good days when he was around. It hurts so much but it brings me comfort. Thank you.
Courage mon ami
I lost my dad when I was a teenager too. It gets easier. Live always to make them proud. They walk beside you guiding you always now.
Keep it up then practice 3 times a week or more
I wish I could give you the most heartfelt hug
Sending you love & light 💖🌟 Music has carried me through the darkest times of my life and been the joy in some of the most beautiful. Making music has saved my life and the lives of people I love. It is the stuff of timelessness itself.
Disappointment? No! I feel privileged to have heard this beautifully painful rendition of such an iconic song. Well done, sir.
I‘m a Korean studying in Australia. TH-cam's algorithm brought me here. Today was a really exhausting and tough day for me. However, thanks to your nice songs, my mood has improved. Please continue singing for a long time. Thank you so much.

It's so beautiful and so emotionally powerful, as a fan of radiohead and in particular of this song, you really have done a good job.
The amount of emotion in your singing is just so beautiful and touching. This was an insanely mesmerizing cover! Literal chills
This was the best delivery of this song I’ve ever heard. Everyone else tries so hard to belt it like some cabaret singer… you sang it like you wrote it. Bravo sir
This
Listen to Homeless Mustard do this song 👍
I need this to be streamed on every platform possible 😭 I could fall asleep to him singing
I actually do that, lol. Perfect music for me to calm down from a panic attack, sleep, or meditate.
Played this song my senior year in marching band, had a duet at the beginning of it too. Your merch video for your “virtual grandchildren” just came up on my recommended. My grandpa also passed a little over a month ago. This song touched me in every single way.
In a world increasingly obsessed by gimmicks and bullshit, THIS is the kind of simple yet powerful authenticity that we increasingly crave. Beautifully done. Thank you.
Maybe it's only me, but I was ready to get up and give this gentleman a standing ovation! Your version has tears streaming down my face. Wow.. bravo!!! 😮😢👏
Me too!!!!
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
I swear it brought me to tears too!!! Awesome rendition ❤
Same!
Yes, yes, yes!
I usually say that «Creep» should not be covered by anybody, because not a single soul can show the full anguish of this song and they mostly just sing it kinda sad. But you actually managed to show it perfectly, touching my heart. I just want to say that you’re absolutely amazing, keep it going Frank!
Yes . This was very nice. Glad to see someone closer to my age do this song. However, if you want to see soul, and the first time I heard this song, watch a guy in an apparant NYC subway station sing with Guitaro5000 on TH-cam (th-cam.com/video/OVeLgYVSfCA/w-d-xo.html).
Have you heard Macy Gray cover it’s maybe better than?
You guys didn’t get me. It’s not about how “professional” or just nice you sing the song. It’s about pure feelings. Concentrated depression, mental collapse, that’s what it is. And this gentleman did it absolutely perfectly.
Menos jovem, Menos!
@@carrot.4335 yea I do get you I’d say macy done it too. This guy also good.
I am in awe, the way you are able to deliver such raw emotion through your voice is amazing. Hope you're havin a good day gramps
I was sitting in the middle of a forest when I clicked on this, just listening to the vocals and how the guitar gets progressively louder is so surreal to me, it felt as if I was in a movie so I just wanna thank you for that experience and if this was disappointing to you I just want to let you know that I appreciated it and will have it on repeat for a long time 😊
This is exactly why TH-cam should continue to exist. Love your talent Frank, thanks for sharing it with the world.
Wow…. This is such a sweet sounding version of this song! I don’t find many covers of Creep that I enjoy but I really like this interpretation. Beautiful! Thank you ☺️
Right -not pretentious. It sounds like real experience to me...
Jellyroll did a great one aswell!
You've simply melted my heart. Such a beautiful and powerful talent you have. TH-cam just recommend me your song and you've won a loyal subscriber. I send you a warm hug from the Caribean, Domincan Republic. 🤗
I hope your okay mister. I can feel the sadness in your version of creep. It makes me sad as well but I'm so happy I got to listen to it
I know it's just a cover of a song, but that one "but I'm not special" sounded to real for me. Therefore I want to let you know that you are very special to me. I love listening to your covers and just laying there and enjoying every single little note. You are very loved
Your interpretations are peaceful and benevolent, no matter what the song. A kind of silent music, for the listener to contemplate. You sing and the world slows down, Frank. Very few achieve that. Greetings from Argentina.
From all the covers of creep I have listened this one is the best one the way he pronounces the words the way he sings the way he plays damn you are pure perfection and that word disappointment does not define this video and never will I am sure
People love this because it's your raw voice and emotion. I'm sick of the auto tuned TikTok gen z kids.
💯
no
@@mare_maresia Literally yes. THIS is powerful music.
@@mare_maresia to each their own. Enjoy your auto tuned Little Mermaid Tik Tok songs lmao
Tick tockers are so fuckin special lmao
Frank, this is absolutely beautiful! I'm a die-hard Radiohead fan, and you more than did this song justice. Thank you.
Covers that hit harder than the original.
Your voice adds depth to the lyrics. Your experience adds emotion.
An influx and infusion of memories, feelings, and realizations. All that triggered by your awesome cover.
Tears in my eyes. Absolutely amazing, i loved every part of it, everytime i hear the song it makes me sad but happy. And this version of it was absolutely beautiful. Thank you
Hello Frank, this is Di in Australia. I wanted to let you know how wonderful you are to take the most unlikely song and give us a rendition that makes me cry. In fact, you’ve inspired me to get out my own guitar and start singing and playing again. Just for myself and my cats. I can’t thank you enough for helping me at the most difficult time of my life. Big hugs 🥰
@MrsT1904 I just said a heartfelt prayer for you, Di in Australia. I’m so sorry for your troubles and pain right now. Life can be hard to bear sometimes. I have so much admiration for your courage right now. Your idea of getting your guitar out and singing and playing again sounds like a really good one. Sending you some love from Connecticut in the USA.
The cats will love it.
@@FrankWatkinson I have a cat here at the moment and am (was) currently playing this song on a steel string acoustic, to him.
He loves it. Not because I am a great guitar player but because he can pick up on the feeling that I feel.
I am also from Australia.
I’m speechless, this was profoundly moving!!! Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart to yours ,❤Frank! 😊 🙏🏽🥹✌🏽🙌🏽👌🏽🫶🏽May health and good measure follow you all the days of your sweet life🙏🏽
Frank, you're incredible and the internet fell in love with you!! Best cover I may have ever heard! Wow!!
I'm 54 years old and you truly, truly inspired me
I hope your inspiration manifests into reality!
LETS GOOO FRANK NEW RADIOHEAD COVER!!! (thats how i discovered you, from no surprises)
this is genuinely so heartwarming🙁I've been binge watching so many of your videos, and they make me so emotional. I really enjoy them, they sound so beautiful and heartfelt. thank you!!!
This is ridiculously good! An amazing interpretation filled with so much depth and experience. No fancy technical gimmicks, just a beautiful deep voice. A man who truly knows his instruments.
I have chills, this is amazing. I’ve only recently discovered your channel but I’m totally blown away by your covers and wish I’d found you sooner. Absolutely beautiful.
"i wish i was special.... but i don't belong here..."
-i felt that, we all felt that
Si. Así es
