Paul Anka wrote this song for Frank. In his book he said Mr Sinatra bugged him for years” Hey kid when you gonna write me something “ and wow did it turn out to be one hell of a song.☮️🇨🇦
My grandfather worked for Sinatra. This song gets me every time. My grandfather was my hero, he did things his way, and taught me to do things my way. ❤️ I cry every time I hear this❤️ I miss my grandfather. All I have left is a signed letter from Sinatra and a few others.
I remember listening to this song at a low time in my life and feeling the power of this man’s message surge through me. I told myself I would not be a man who lived on his knees and have sought to live by that sentiment since. God bless
That is a great attitude. When he says "And not the words of someone who kneels" It always makes you think about how you are handling life.....are you kneeling?
My pops loved this song. He fought and worked his ass off to provide for us. Every time in the car when it came on a big smile on his face and tears from his eyes. RIP dad! Thanks guys for reacting.
This song has been played at more than a few funerals. It really is one of those special songs that has remained a great and will probably be for a very long time to come.
This one really does describe the way he lived his life, perfectly. For a fun one, try out 'That's why the lady is a tramp'. Frank was a member of the 'Rat Pack', including him along with Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Jerry Lewis, & Peter Lawford.
yes, the Bogart years, but I believe the reference was being made about the Vegas Pack that featured the 6 guys led by Sinatra, the ones they made a movie about, which included Joey Bishop but certainly not Jerry Lewis.
I was diagnosed with very severe emphysema on 5/11/2022. My fault, did it to myself: smoking, constant campfires, candles and incense with no ventilation. So, to tell my family and friends, I said no words. I sent this song to each and everyone of them. I did it my way. Few regrets.
I conducted my own Dad's funeral, we played this at the Chapel just before the end. My Dad used to sing it sometimes at the working men's club. It summed up his life, and was a fitting send off.
If you thought this was a song that would be played at the end of your life, check out Frank's version of "It Was A Very Good Year." A powerful song like this, and perhaps even more introspective. There's a black and white video of him in the studio with the orchestra recording it. One of the very best.
My cousin sang this song at my other cousins memorial because he always did things "My Way" and he sang it at his father's memorial too, it's a great way to send loved ones off on their journey! Thank you for letting me sit in with you today and viewing your reaction! It always tears me up too!
This song has always been and will forever be the mantra of my family, and my Dad in particular he passed away a few years ago now,but every time I listen to this song I &see my Dad’s face in my mind. His birthday was yesterday he would have been 72, so thank you for this.
This song is how every man wants to live his life. You admit your mistakes, but if you've done it right they won't be that many. Strong, Proud, Fair and Honest, let no man do you wrong and you do no wrong towards another. Be your own man, a man of his word, Integrity. All that is easier said than done as we all have bosses and situations etc... but that's what makes it so meaningful. My favorite line - "To say the things he truly feels, and not the words of one who kneels" Frank definitely did it his way. Great Reaction
Written by Paul Anka, one of the best songs ever written and recorded. It´s was my late mothers favorite song, and the first bithday present I ever bought for her, for my pocket money when i was 5 years old, and actually i still have that record. Love this song. if you love this song, then try and do a reaction to it with the classic pop band Il Divo, they do an absolutely fantastic version of it.
Great reaction. It’s super dope to see a guy that can wear his emotions on his sleeve like this. Most dudes are too proud or not enough man to admit they have a sensitive side. Big ups to you my man.
This Frank Anthem was actually originally sung and owned by the amazing singer, song writer Paul Anka. Many musicians have covered this over the years but none with the phrasing and vocals if Sinatra. As a fan, when Bon Jovi wrote their hit " It's My Life" they included a line "Like Frank I did it t My Way" as part of the main chorus and lyrics to their song.
Love this song so much! When I was younger I told myself that if I could sing this song at the end of my life - and mean it, I will know I lived a good life.
Frank Sinatra was my dad’s favorite singer. At his memorial we played music from my dad’s time (born in 1932) as people came in and paid their condolences. Before the service started, the music wrapped up with this song. On my first birthday after my dad died, I was out with friends. I excused myself to use the mens room. This song was playing over the speakers in the mens room. Yes, I broke out in tears. Just like I do whenever I hear it now.
Growing up in NYC in the 70-80s, there was a radio station, WNEW-AM, which really backed and promoted Sinatra and other crooners. Riding in my grandfather's big ole caddie on a warm wet night thru the streets of NYC listening to Frank. Thanks grandpa.
Sinatra was definately a major a major part of the history of music in American history, and I find that now, at the age of 65, this song truly speaks to me.
I’m very very impressed with both of your reactions to this song, Frank Sinatra had a voice of gold and you’re right that they don’t make songs like this anymore, it does really make you put things in perspective
You should listen to Elvis sing "My Way" from the Aloha from Hawaii concert. It was the first concert broadcast by satellite (1973) with over 1 billion people watching it from more than 40 countries. 🙂 It's always been my fav song! Oh and they did play the Frank version at my Dads funeral.
This sounded like it was Frank singing in his later years. The original version of his when he's younger is noticeably different. However, this song is a roadmap to the way Frank lived his life. He was friends with JFK but also Had some mob ties. He was married a few (4) times. He acted in many movies and danced in some. He was a member and leader of "The Rat Pack" which was a group of entertainers that performed in Vegas for years (Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, Sammy Davis Jr. and Joey Bishop. Joey was a comedian. Sinatra broke many barriers back in the day by refusing to appear in many hotel nightclubs unless they would let Sammy Davis Jr. stay there while they were performing together. When Sammy had a very serious car accident and lost his eye, Frank paid All of his medical bills. You need to checkout Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. (Sammy was the consummate entertainer, he did it all: sing, dance, act, play several musical instruments and did impersonations. Sammy started out in Vaudeville at the age of 3 with his dad and uncle (Will Maston). Songs of Sammy's to checkout: Birth of the Blues, Bojangles, What Kind of Fool am I. There are videos of him playing drums and tapping. Dean Martin songs: That's Amore, Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime, Ain't That a Kick in the Head, For The Good Times. More Sinatra songs: Fly Me To The Moon, The Lady Is a Tramp, New York New York, I've got you Under My Skin, Come Fly With Me. These are just some suggestions.
I just love the way you both are mesmerized by this man's voice and this song. This is Frank'e signature song ! (Old Blue Eyes ) was Frank's nickname..
Incredible song. This may be a bit dark, but, yes, this is on my funeral song list to be played at my wake. To me, it's definitely a life affirming song, and not sad at all.
It was my Grandmother's favorite song..... As soon as I walked in that church is South Philly, this was playing. I can't hear it enough! We miss ya Gommy!
Shout out to Paul Anka reinterpretation of this French song it’s timeless .. it’s an inspiration to those of us with time Left and a legacy song for those that have passed on .. I always think of my dad
Week yeah, doesn’t take genius, this isn’t the song/lyrics you do as a young man, lol…and no you mean it’s a newer performance, as an older one, would mean he’s younger, instead of older, you have failed on every level, so no idea what lies and shenanigans you’re trying to accomplish, or just that simple to begin with.
@@Plastikdoom yes, I misspoke about it being older, should have said when Frank was older BUT this version was recorded probably a decade after he first released it so it does not have the vocal qualities of the initial release. And btw-congrats on winning the Jerk award for your comment.
Nice job y'all, Frank Sinatra-That's Life, Fly Me to the Moon, New York New York are very good also plus Ella Fitzgerald- Cry Me a River, Summertime and Louis Armstrong- What a Wonderful World, Hello Brother and La Vie en Rose
Check out Elvis and Frank when Elvis came back from army. It was a welcome home show. They did duet. Elvis sang My Way 1973 live Aloha in Hawaii concert.
You should listen to his "IT WAS A VERY GOOD YEAR" it is ALSO a song that makes you look at your life. That might make you shed a tear as well, as it does me. Have you listened to him singing "NEW YORK, NEW YORK. You are right that music today doesn't have subject matter and lyrics like these. They don't make you think, most don't have much of a melody, and, they just leave me cold. I don't even listen to music today at all, any more. I stick to what I grew up with and the music I was exposed to that came before I was born in 1947, thanks to my mother and my musician father. Every genre you can think of.
My best friend's dad was old school italian. They played this song at the end of his funeral a few months ago. I was good until it started playing it. Lol. Check out "that's life" by Sinatra.
comme d'habitude - was the template melody, whereupon Paul Anka added lyrics. I heard that David Bowie was also commissioned to write lyrics for the melody but Anka got there first. Bowie's song was reworked as Life on Mars.
Frank was a legendary crooner. A singer, a actor nd some times a dancer. " check out a few of other songs he did. Like " Chicago " " New York New York " " Fly Me to the Moon " " That's Life " You will love them.
Paul Anka wrote this just for Frank Sinatra when he was talking about retiring he did for a little while before he went back to work. It was supposed to be his last song but didn't work out that way. Elvis also did this song after Frank.
Comme d'habitude by Claude François ( Francois ) 1967: French and English lyrics . The French version of My Way by Frank Sinatra and Paul Anka. a French song about routine in a relationship falling out of love, composed in 1967 by Jacques Revaux, with lyrics by Claude François and Gilles Thibaut [ fr] . Another french song made famous by Tony Bennett. "The Good Life" (originally "La Belle Vie" in French) is a popular song by Sacha Distel and Jack Reardon, published in 1962. Going back to Ol' blue eyes (Frank that is) Summerwind with the fantastic Don Costa. Frank Sinatra: Sinatra Featuring Don Costa & His Orchestra , Big band style at its best.
I remember my professor in law school back in 2005 talking about this song, telling the class that this song is an "ACHIEVER'S SONG" and he discussed its lyrics phrase by phrase and what it means.... Fast forward to present, I've had my own fair share of what the lyrics meant and relating it to what I've gone through in my academic journey. All the memory just flashed into my head, I felt it, I shivered and understand what the song meant for me as I successfully earned my 4th Degree starting from Political Science, Law, Master's Degree and Finally my Ph.D. It just made me cry...
I remember hearing on the radio once, someone commenting on Frank Sinatra. He said the thing about Sinatra is the way he can make you feel he is singing just to you.
I like the outward perspective of this song instead of looking in. Where it is an anthem of humanity as a whole instead of the individual. We are all the same yet we all live lives our own way.
This song is extremely popular in the Philippines. People fight to get to be the one to sing it on karaoke. Someone was even killed once because of karaoke and this song.
You were bang on with your comment about a song for someone's retirement. Check out the commercial they had as a tribute to Derek Jeter to this song as he walks through the streets of NYC at the end of his career. It was fantastic and I am not even a Yankkes fan, but tip my cap to Jeter.
This is a real man's anthem of a song. Very powerful. Awesome to see you two doing these old legendary classics.

Well, it is an adaptation from a French song "Comme d'habitude" composed by Jacques Revaux.
To be fair, imitation IS the best form of flattery. Call if there was only one song I would want to bring to Frank’s attention, it’d be this one. :-)
@@flarican64 exactly then the original person loved Frank Sinatra's version he said it was like a song for him

I like all his versions, but the original release makes me euphoric.

Check out Frank singing OLD MAN RIVER in 1946 when he was 18 and his voice is amazing....stunning
It's a fantastic performance, but Frank was 31 in 1946.
Amazing song from one of the Most Legendary singers of ALL Time.Extremely powerfull touching and beautifull.
Paul anka wrote this beautiful song for frank to sing ....
No One could song this song like Frank!! He feels every word and he did live his life 'His Way'
Simply amazing performance 👏
You should listen to a performance of this when he was younger...while this is great it's even more powerful in his younger days!
Connie, check out Mark Tremonti's cover of this song, it's absolutely great. Mark did an entire Frank Sinatra cover album for charity.
The argument could be made the older is more powerful cause now he is singing with more age and experience behined him.
@@missdeer9554 Yes, i concur
The older version is better because it truly emphasizes that the end is near and he's talking about his life behind him
If you thought this was a song that would be played at the end of your life, check out Frank's version of "It Was A Very Good Year." A powerful song like this, and perhaps even more introspective.

Played this at my Dad's funeral. This was my dad without a doubt.
A beautiful reaction to a beautiful song from two beautiful humans, thank you!❤
That was a beautiful reaction. It hits men differently. Everyone actually. But since it was his first time reaction, it was beautiful to see.
My cousin sang this song at my other cousins memorial because he always did things "My Way" and he sang it at his father's memorial too, it's a great way to send loved ones off on their journey! Thank you for letting me sit in with you today and viewing your reaction! It always tears me up too!
