- Official Video for Try This At Home by Frank Turner, taken from the album "Poetry Of The Deed", out now on Xtra Mile (UK) / Epitaph (rest of the world). Video directed by Ben Morse. Starring FT, the band (Nigel Powell, Ben Lloyd, Matt Nasir, Tarrant Anderson) and a host of awesome people!
Man, I've been hooked ever since I heard of Frank. Definitely one of the greatest musicians of our time (if not THE greatest)
This man is simply a hero. Not many artists in the world today who have such meaningful lyrics. Really can't wait to go and see him live later this year!!!
I just found out about this guy about a week ago, and I can honestly say he's the most joyous, honest, and talented songwriter in years. He makes me wish I was a Brit. Please, PLEASE never stop singing. You're real.
For those who are interested in the story behind this video:
"What a fucking day. After a really fun run of shows in Ireland,
I arrived at the airport this morning to board my flight from Dublin to
London, whence I was headed for Oxford for a video shoot. Pretty tight
turn around, but then most things are for me these days. However, on
arrival, I was told that I could not travel without a passport. My
passport is currently up on blocks in readiness for heading to Israel
tomorrow, but I’d been assured, fucking assured, that I could
travel with my credit card on this flight. Apparently not, on arrival.
Cue mass panic and much creative swearing, followed by a manic drive to
Belfast, buying another ticket and getting ready to fly home much later
than planned.
This means that the original idea for the video is out the window, as
we don’t have enough time (which means I bought a 1970s geography
teacher outfit for nothing - dang!). However, we are still shooting
today, and we need as much help as we can get. This is where you (might)
come in.
We’ll be in Oxford this afternoon, basically trawling the streets and
getting people to sing a couple of lines of the song (“Try This At
Home”) to the camera, maybe play some guitar too. If you’re in Oxford
(or nearby) and at a loose end, we would love your help. Exact locations
have yet to be determined, but as soon as I know, I’ll post it on my twitter feed.
The boys in the band will be out in force, as will I, as soon as I get
there. Please do spread the word on your own twitter, facebook or
whatever. All the help we can get is hugely appreciated. Let’s make this
happen!
(....)
Well yesterday turned out just awesome, victory snatched from the jaws
of defeat. After a total arse of a start to the day, and a last minute
re-pitching of the video, we ended up in a park on top of the hill in
Oxford in glorious sunshine, with about 50 people helping out with
singing, dancing and generally pratting about in front of the camera. It
was a pretty stressful day all told, but I think we’ve ended up with
something great. Many thanks to all who participated."

I always come back to this song and it's still my favourite music video of all time because the story behind it is just so damn punk rock.
That is EXCELLENT and also somehow even truer to the song itself!
Frank Turner is one of the most inspiring, true musicians I've heard in a while. I love the message of his songs. Whenever i listen to him for long enough I feel my life getting better, no other music really does that
brilliant example of english folk punk
Miss this.
My sister turned me onto this song last week, I can't explain how much I love it. The message speaks to me hard
can't believe its taken me this long to hear this guy! so talented, frank is the real thing
This is one of the most fun things I have ever seen. I get more inspired every time I hear another of his songs.
This is the song we've always try to write, but never made it in 21 years.
screamed with this song on the concert on april 1st and play it now on every campfire i attend with my guitar
he makes the idea so simple, but executes it so perfectly
Not entirely sure why, but this song reminds me of going to punk rock shows in high school. Love me some Frank Turner.
Loving this song/video...Frank has a wicked connection with the camera...just totally open and honest and makes you feel like he is EVERYBODY'S friend :) Frank rules ;) xxx
I like the videos from back when he was relatively unknown best. They look so fun.
Forever one of my faves #FTHC ❤
God, 2010. We had no idea how good we had it.
I saw him in Manchester yesterday when he opened for Greenday and he was amazing, i have already bought my tickets to see him in december :)
this is my anthem. thank you frank turner you have saved my life ^_^
Fab!!
Awesome, that is all.
I think I fell in love with the Brunette in the white shirt and denim skirt thing.
my god...the first song ive seen with no dislikes. this is a good day. :)
I love you Frank! See you in Sheffield in December. I'm hooked.
This song makes me so happy.
One of my fav Frank Turner songs
Best song ever! The video makes me happy... I'm still grinning at the screen.
That was ACE
Well played Mr Turner, well fucking played.
I saw this Vidoe in TV one second ago ;)
Yeah great video and beauty sound !
Come on people, let's grab our guitars and play something!
+ceracen This song ist what made me start playing the guitar.
Too bad I can give a thumbs up to this song just one time 🙂
This Video makes me smile and genuinely feel good!
Great song, great vid, great fun. Wish I'd been in it.
LEGEND.
SO HAPPY!
Totally Awesome! I wish more people subscribed to this philosophy... and tried it at home!
LOL I just tried to figure out the chords to the chorus, and I was having such a hard time. Then I was like hmmm....wait a minute....love songs in C....politics in G....songs about our friends in Em....Frank you smartass haha now I feel stupid
epic guy!!!
I found your album "Poetry of the Deed" on Napster last week by accident because I was searching for a different song that has the same title as one of yours. I can't tell you just how much the songs on this album mean to me. Now I'm kind of pissed that I didn't know about you years ago.
"Live Fast Die Old," "Try This At Home," "Dan's Song," "The Road," "Sons of Liberty," and "Faithful Son" are all so impactful to me. I love the entire album, but how in the world did you get FIVE SUCH EXCEPTIONAL BANGERS on the same album?? I have never heard one from anyone else with SO. FREAKING. MANY. EXCELLENT. SONGS.
I love all your music, and i would of loved to be there but unfortunatly wasn`t. :(
Fantastic.
God Damn Thats so awesome
sweeeeeeeet
yes i totally agree!!!
Awesome!!!
this is quality
bloody brilliant :D nice one! xxx
Love it !
Awesome video! Love this song.
I love this man!
awesome video.. just great.
Could help but smile :)
punk rock ethos right there
fuck the censorship in this song..
LOVE IT
what is that pathetic little wail at 2:06?! it cracks me up every time. freaking love this song though
I still love with video so much 🤷🏼♀️
Love it =]
omg saw you last night at the green day concert! i had no idea you were opening for then and you made an epic night even better! XXD
Damn. What a concert to have seen. I wish I had been conscious of decent music at the time, because I probably would have been there.
Great video xD
i FUCKING love this guy
such an epic video for such an epic song, love it xD
@AliceItoko Hitting on a Punk tradition over 30 years old does make him a winner.
if you squint, he's ginger from the wildhearts
@wickedjoel - going by the headstock, i`d guess it was either a Danelectro or a Guild of some kind (or a copy) . can`t say for sure though i`m afraid.
TH-cam won't buffer :( and I bloody love this song
This is like the adult version of the Photosynthesis video.
Eeyyy Frankieee!! Keep rockin bro!
reminds me of how some remix/mashup DJ's inspired me to try and make my own
Jeeze, I love this freakin' song!!! XD!!!
I wonder- is that opening line: "Let's inherit the earth, cause no one else is taking it" a jab or reference to the Replacements song "We'll Inherit the Earth." They sing "We'll inherit the Earth but we don't want it." Could be interesting, cause if the Replacements didn't inherit the Earth, that would explain why no one was taking it in Frank's song.
looks like a really nice afternoon in the park, nothing serious or anything. Just what music is about :)
Wonderful fun (:
this is the best of your songs :D i saw you supporting green day on wednesday, and i think you should've just done joan jett and the blackhearts set too :P
Fan-fucking-tastic!!! Love it! Been a very long time since I've seen someone so real. Keep up the excellent work!
0:45 KEEEEYYYYTTTTTTARAAAAAARRRRR
Gut gemachtes, lustiges Video mit guter Musik!
@MrsLepetit I hear you , my 5+7 yr old boys learn too many bad words from Frank. I am never fast enough on the Volume. Nashville Ten. "Well I've been to Texas State ,..."....
The two people who disliked are probably just jealous that they weren't in the video and didn't meet this genius. I know I am! :P
1:27 i know the guy with really long hair on the far right xD, I envy him- Frank Turner is great :D
What a cool happy video :)
saw you supporting greenday you were great when you walked down the cat walk i couldnt stop laughing tho xD
@tintin0100 uh...hi! It was SO much fun to shoot (:
Love the song but "clean" versions of Frank's songs seem so disingenuous :/
This my favorite song of yours! I'm so glad there is a music video now! Not to glad about the censorship but I will live haha
1:02 McDonald's pants 👍 cool
haha excellent
My brother posted me this song after my first gig with my band :) god dammit hes cool :D
I actually write love songs in G and do politics in D and sing songs about my friends in B minor.
Better for my singing :-D Frank, you're the man... see you in Berlin in May, I can't wait!
ohhh it's me at 0:40 how very exciting, what an amazing day.
I have just done a bass cover to this song, i usually don't plug but seeing as this song is all about the punk D.I.Y spirit i thought i would. Great song, so any bassists please check
true
Great song!! :D Can't believe the censored lyrics
@LOT105RECORDS Are you the one with the Schrodinger's Cat is Dead shirt? Because that is the best shirt I have ever seen.
@buryyourashesuk Sorry, just saw your question...I know I'll get some stroppy remarks from certain old school Frank fans but my other favourite is Green Day.... :) and they did me the good turn of bringing me Frank when I didn't know who he was.....and he's just soooo damned great :)x
peasant... perfection redesigning peasant...
just been thinking... that voice at the start, am i going crazy or does it sound like the guy from the barclays adds???
@RealChieSatonaka i think that one person needs to go and try it at home, maybe then he'll get into the grove and realise his mistake!!
Great video. Although, why censor it? The lyrics of Frank Turner are there for a reason and should not be shoved aside. C'mon people, the full version of the song should be available to all!
