Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls performed at RiotFest 2012. I was 16 years old and my friends all left in different directions and I found myself in the middle of Humboldt Park, Chicago, lying in the middle of a field of grass surrounded by a thick crowd and these guys playing up onstage. So I tossed down my Chrome messenger bag and laid with my head on it and listened to them play. And for some reason that moment sticks out in my head really hard.
Seeing Frank all alone is the way to do it. I've gone three times by myself now. The first was because some friends who had tickets had to bail at the last minute. I went anyway and realized it's way, way more fun to fly solo and just enjoy the experience with the new friends you inevitably make around you.
I'm pushing 50, worked my way to a level of success that surprises me every day, and raised three outstanding kids alongside my amazing wife of 27 years. . . and thanks in part to Frank Turner, I still won't sit down, shut up, or grow up. Every time I see that this song sits in my kids' playlists, I know I've done something right.
I remember him playing this; the whole crowd was singing along, shouting and cheering and Frank was smiling away and playing. It's great to see an artist enjoying himself, having that connection with his audience and letting the music speak for itself.
In 12 and I've loved frank for bloody 2 years and am still praying for the time I can go and watch him live its my dream but we can't afford it and its to difficult and im to young for most show but we all need to admit frank and the sleeping souls are bloody amazing 😁😁😁😁😁😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😁😁😁😁😁
@@dnk1870 two years on and my music taste has changed massively but im exited to say that i will be seeing him for the sixth time in london on the 30th and im still loving this song all the same, thanks for the positive comment and i hope you have gone and seen him and have enjoyed it :)))
Yesterday (3.10.2010) he visit my City ( Poznań in the middle of Polnad ) That was koncert for less then100 people. Amazing music, great time, magnificent Frank!! Frank Turner - thank you for this. We love you !!!!!
Saw him in myrtle beach house of blues on saturday w/ flogging molly. Needless to say, I am now a HUGE fan. Had never heard of him before that and now I can't get enough of his music!
A lot of us here are in our 30s+ and we still haven't sussed it. But that's half the fun. It gets boring when it's done. The real magic is in the journey. You've just got a head start because you got off the treadmill early. The treadmill is the antithesis of fun. Follow your bliss. It's the only compass :)
had this played at my wedding a few months ago, not the first dance my wife chose kc and jo jo lol, but it was played later on at my request. Not many people had a clue what it was apart from me my wife and some of my mates, well we danced and sung our asses off, every lyric in the song seems so apt as we are all pushing 30 and having kids, getting married etc. The day was amazing but that 4 minutes will always be one of my fondest memories of the day.
Saw Frank at the Cambridge Union two weeks ago; he's such an honest and unpretentious guy, not afraid to be upfront about what he thinks. Reflects in his amazing music.
This song reminds me of a simpler time, when you where a kid and everything was knew; you never had to worry about anything and your mum was all ways there to catch you. Always makes me smile :)
doesn't it break your heart to see the glimpses of the kids sensing that they're doing something naughty by singing along in the chorus? how early do people get taught to feel guilty about self-affirmation, free expression and non-conformity? thank your stars for Frank and this song - he's a hero
Reading this comment 13 years later while the establishment, the press, and the usual bunch of conformist cronies are punishing young people for expressing themselves.
I just watched him live in concert last night at the Aragon in Chicago with Flogging Molly. He was awesome. I wish they had let him play longer. He was bloody brilliant!
This song sums up exactly my life right now. Everyone around me getting married and having kids..fine with me, but not my way. Good to see I'm not the only one. Until I heard this song I was thinking maybe I am. That's the price one pays after traveling the world for 9 years then returning to a grim reality.
Grim Reality? like what? I was gone but only three years to the Philippines. What was my Grim Reality? will take some thinking. Best thing I learned was to live without a calendar book and watch, drove me nuts at first, then I adopted it for life. NOTHING is worth stressing over, E.G. unimportant deadlines
Dave Bonski grim reality? really? how grim is your life if you can afford to travel around the world for 9 years at an age when most people are just starting their lives?
Dam not only is he probably the best and most inspiring songwriters of his time he just seems to be the nicest guy in music too, his music just kinda make you appriciate life and want to go out sing drink and have fuuuuuun! thanks frank!
I first discovered Frank Turner through Million Dead, possibly the best British Punk band ever, then I found out they'd disbanded. :( Found out that Frank Turner was going solo, and just got a feeling, the kind of feeling that you get when you just know something's going to be amazing. I wasn't wrong! He has such a way with words, and the passion he puts into singing, I don't really know how to word it . . . Mind blowing? Awe inspiring? Easily my favorite acoustic artist EVER.
Seen Frank a few year back in Middlesbrough, I didn't who he was then, but this song blew me away. He said this song is about people not having the courage, balls and being to lazy go for their dreams, such as people who leave uni with degrees, but settle for crap jobs they hate, and make excuses up, saying they can't find the job they want.
this guy is my hero he puts a lot of people to shame that work in the music. he always finds new ways to market his music and still become a musical icon, people like henry rollins and Joe strummer would be proud. I can't wait to see frank in northern Ireland in September and I'm coming all the way from Crewe. thanks frank :)
I got introduced to Frank Turner by my friends in Look Mexico. I wasn't familiar with his music at the time. I am now. All I can say is that he is a genuine gentleman, a down to earth good guy, and an inspiring & moving musician. I'm digging what he does!
i guess i am sitting down because i am in a chair listening to this song BUT I STILL WONT SHUT UP because i am singing along im 16 i dont have to grow up
Well I guess I should confess that I am starting to get old All the latest music fads all passed me by and left me cold All the kids are talking slang I won't pretend to understand All my friends are getting married, mortagages and pension plans And it's obvious my angry adolescent days are done And I'm happy and I'm settled in the person I've become But that doesn't mean I'm settled up and sitting out the game Time may change a lot but some things may stay the same And I won't sit down And I won't shut up And most of all I will not grow up And I won't sit down And I won't shut up And most of all I yeah I won't grow up Oh maturity's a wrapped up package deal so it seems And ditching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams All your friends and peers and family solemnly tell you you will Have to grow up be an adult yeah be bored and unfulfilled Oh when no ones yet explained to me exactly what's so great About slaving 50 years away on something that you hate Look I'm meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity Well if that's your road then take it but it's not the road for me And I won't sit down And I won't shut up And most of all I will not grow up And I won't sit down And I won't shut up And most of all I yeah I won't grow up And I won't sit down And I won't shut up And most of all I will not grow up And if all you ever do with your life Is photosynthesize Then you deserve every hour of these sleepless nights That you waste wondering when you're gonna die Now I'll play and you sing The perfect way for the evening to begin Now I'll play and you sing The perfect way for the evening to begin And I won't sit down And I won't shut up And most of all yeah I won't grow up And I won't sit down And I won't shut up And most of all I will not grow up And I won't sit down And I won't shut up And most of all I will not grow up
this man is wise and outstanding, one of these that the world needs. Music singers are no gods, they should be examples, no woman should cry for him, but we all should learn from his political and social vision
love this. hoping those lovely children grow up to do something they love like frank. makes me weepy...would have loved to have been a fly on that wall.
I never post on TH-cam but in the last 24 hours have felt compelled to do it more than a few times to Frank Turner songs. Haven't felt since I was a teenager that songs were speaking the words in my heart more. I now remember what it's like when music really resonates with you again! This is going to be my anthem for a while I think. I WON'T SIT DOWN, I WON'T SHUT UP AND MOST OF ALL I WON'T GROW UP!
Bel pezzo, bel video. La musica nelle scuole è un veicolo fantastico per permettere ai bimbi di esprimersi liberamente. Frank Turner come Billy Bragg è un menestrello che fa bene al cuore.
this is so cute.....what a great video - so glad my local station played this song today.....caused me to look him up and share this video with friends. :-)
Like many others have pointed out. So, Frank had a good education and was lucky enough to be born without struggling. As a working class bloke born and bred it's what we'd all want for our kids isn't it? He has always seemed like a very down to Earth bloke and good luck to him. His lyrics are fiery and intelligent. If young people like Frank and actually listen to his songs and take note, then the World may end up a better place. I might get looked after when I finally get to retire too :)
The best thing about JUST discovering FT is, there is the complete back catalogue to catch up on!!! Just got the album this is on today. BRILLIANT. TY FT!!
Just discovered Frank in the last couple of years - seen him in cocnert last and this year, and will do so every other time he comes to town cos it's so much damn fun!
I had the pleasure to meet him last night after his show in Florida, very nice guy, down to earth. He put an amazing show, I hope he comes down again, I had a blast.
It has been literally years since I've been this excited about finding a new artist. Thank you so much Frank for being such a fucking awesome musician.
I'm 70 and Frank Turner keeps me alive. I love him. My grandson turned me on to him, btw.
That's so sweet! 💐💐💐
Your grandson has great taste in music!
My Da's your age and we still exchange songs. If yer boy has appreciation for Frank, odds are because you turned him onto a similar sound, and he thought it'd appeal to you in return. Keep sharing and keep growing, but never grow up
I really needed this during these trying times
58 here....in Canada....just found out who this guy is today! can't wait to check out his other songs
“No one’s yet explained to me what’s so great about slaving 50 years away on something you hate.”
One of the best songs ever written. Been listening to Frank since I was a teen and I'm 30 now. Time is moving way too fast.
Absolutely! Love from dirty jerz!

Thank you Frank Turner, I'm not alone!
The year is 2022 and this song just randomly appeared on my feed at the perfect time haven’t listen to this song in 10+ years kind moved at the moment
Saw Frank at the Cambridge Union two weeks ago; he's such an honest and unpretentious guy, not afraid to be upfront about what he thinks. Reflects in his amazing music.
He closed off his set on the Revival Tour with this song and it brought the place down.
Love the clip too.

I discovered frank turner yesterday and am literally addicted to his songs... Its only been a day!!
I bet their teachers had a hell of a time getting those kids to ever 'sit down and shut up' after filming this.
the teacher is Franks mum
i am one of those kids, just turned 18, nostalgic asf to watch but one of the greatest experiences

Plot twist: One of them is Callum
Perfect
The best show on Mighty Sounds, thank you so much, because of you Mighty Sounds was perfect for me ! =)
the fact that justin beiber gets tens of millions of views and this musical genius gets a mere 2 million is whats wrong with the music industry
TheDurty630 I get your point but as a musician who has nowhere close to a million views I'd say he's doing alright at two mil

I watch this through happy smiling eyes...... My 7 yr old is clappin' hands in the back seat....... Thanks Frank........forever young...
All we got at our school was tambourines and a triangle.
Just one of my favourite pieces of music , the look of joy on the children's faces is just a joy to see
This video never makes me not smile.
I won't sit down, won't shut up .....but most of all I won't grow up!! Love it
Well I guess I should confess that I am starting to get old
All the latest music fads all passed me by and left me cold
All the kids are talking slang I won't pretend to understand
All my friends are getting married, mortagages and pension plans
And it's obvious my angry adolescent days are done
And I'm happy and I'm settled in the person I've become
But that doesn't mean I'm settled up and sitting out the game
Time may change a lot but some things may stay the same
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I yeah I won't grow up
Oh maturity's a wrapped up package deal so it seems
And ditching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams
All your friends and peers and family solemnly tell you you will
Have to grow up be an adult yeah be bored and unfulfilled
Oh when no ones yet explained to me exactly what's so great
About slaving 50 years away on something that you hate
Look I'm meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity
Well if that's your road then take it but it's not the road for me
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I yeah I won't grow up
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up
And if all you ever do with your life
Is photosynthesize
Then you deserve every hour of these sleepless nights
That you waste wondering when you're gonna die
Now I'll play and you sing
The perfect way for the evening to begin
Now I'll play and you sing
The perfect way for the evening to begin
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all yeah I won't grow up
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up
Frank heals my soul
