This old traditional folk cover warm my heart gramp :C

I can't imagine the wealth of memories flooding your mind when you're singing this song.

Frank: "...tears stream, down your face..." Me: they certainly do

Coldplay needs to see this... it’s just like my grandpa singing me this to sleep.

In description box is written " Just because I can't sing, it doesn't mean I won't sing".... It's me, when my brothers say you can't sing, I start to sing even louder. This is your way mister, and this the best way...

This performance feels like a hug

This has to be one of the most emotional covers I've ever heard. You made this 44yo man cry. I love you.

Trying not to cry while watching this

This is remarkable. Please, always do it "your way" - it's absolutely outstanding.

i wonder what its like having a grandpa. sometimes, i cant help but be jealous of how other people got the chance to bond with their grandpa. the only memory i have with my grandpa are stories told by my mom and dad, stories i am not part of. they passed away before i was even born. and so your voice makes me cry, as if its the same voice as my lolo. keep on singing ok?

The amount of pain in his face and propable the memories he has is just unbelievable, barely hold my tears 🥺😭

"i tried to sing it high at first but the dog started howling" hahaha awh ❤️ i'm so glad youtube recommend you to me !!

Whoever dislikes this man gets negative karma forever. Hes so pure

You can literally feel the pain in his voice... Kudos sir...🙌🏻

i'm hoping Coldplay reach out to him. bless this old man's soul!

My mom died about two months ago after complications from cancer and dementia. I listened to this song constantly late at night, while I was contemplating my feelings after spending the days caring for her. Coming across such a gentle version after her passing is truly healing. Thank you.

I wish you were my grandfather, youre so awesome man. This is what youtube is supposed to be about.

You remind me so much of my dad. I sadly lost him unexpectedly on the 16th of December. I’m only 21 and I lived at home with him and I’m still really struggling to accept what’s happened. I loved him more than words will ever explain. He was an amazing guitar player but his main talent was his insane bass playing. Thank you for this video it felt like the warm hug I was needing.

I don't care or think about how old he is. This cover give me some hope.

it's impossible not to cry listening to this version. Well done, Sir! I don't know why youtube algorithm brought this channel to me but I sure am grateful

F*ck man. I felt this. Subbed forever.

My ex passed away a few days ago.... listening to this with tears streaming down my face....thank you for helping me in this horrible horrible time....

One day.....Frank one day I wont cry everytime u play, and God I hope that day never comes. We can become so cold and numb, as hard as we try not to. But Frank your songs can reach the deepest feelings we ourselves never knew we even had anymore. Thank you, I fear you may never truly know just what you do for us! I love you frank!! 💓💓💓🎶🤘💓💓

I'd like to know why the 59 people (at this time) disliked this video? This dude is the man. I hope I'm this cool at his age. Great cover of this song and his voice adds so much character to the song. I'd love to hear him cover Ryan Bingham's, The Weary Kind.

"This was another request ,i tried to sing it high at first but the dog started howling so had to do it my way ,just because i can't sing doesn't mean i won't sing ." I think thats the best Video description I've ever seen.

Finding your music is my greatest youtube discovery in years, how lovely.

God bless this man. This is pure innocence that the world needs.

I found you and stayed to listen to you and then I was silent ... It rarely happens to me, when magic comes to you and surrounds you, I remain silent ... Thank you for sharing ...

This is the best version I have ever heard thus far. Including Coldplay’s version. Kudos to you, sir

Who said you can't sing? This is the most marvelous and heartfelt cover of this song I've heard up until now. Thank you Love from India 🇮🇳🙏💕

I lost the love of my life about a year ago. I still cannot process it. This song has always been one of my favourites. And your singing has given me new meanings to many songs. Thank you Frank. Thank you.

Cheers to all those who would get this in your recommended 5yrs from now... (2021) Oh also I hope you have a longer life and bless the world with your calm voice🙃

Oh maaaan, you hit me with Coldplay, amazing playing, amazing voice, amazing cover... So much feel in the voice, just amazing, well done my friend, keep up the good work

I don't recollect listening to the original version. So I went & listened to it after I listened to your version. And I'm back here to listen to your version again. YOURS IS THE BEST. 🙏

i just discovered this tonight and didn’t regret clicking it. thank you for singing me to sleep. u made me feel calm, reassured, serene. thank you grandpa.

Very suitable to listen to before sleeping, I like your voice sir

He likes what he sing. This is important

Always thankful for the amazing covers and the atmosphere you create with your voice and playing

This is the best cover i heard, really touching and makes me calm. Thank you GrandPa Frank! God Bless you💛🌻

He’s a young soul who ran out of time. I can see the pain and loss in his face.

I'm low in life right now. And this voice is actually making my tears streaming down my face. But I will fix it! 💙

"Fix You" When you try your best, but you don't succeed When you get what you want, but not what you need When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse And the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you can't replace When you love someone, but it goes to waste Could it be worse? Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you And high up above or down below When you're too in love to let it go But if you never try you'll never know Just what you're worth Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you Tears stream down your face When you lose something you cannot replace Tears stream down your face and I Tears stream down your face I promise you I will learn from my mistakes Tears stream down your face and I Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you

God bless you, sir. What an amazing, intimate acoustic covers of the best songs known to mankind. As a musician myself, I thank you wholeheartedly for this beautiful collaboration of everything genuine. God bless you, sir. What a beautiful human you are.

I was raised by my grandparents and I lost my grandpa 2 years ago. I surely lost someone I can't replace and this video makes me so emotional. Thank you for sharing this, it feels like my grandpa is hugging me from heaven.

"just because i can't sing doesn't mean i won't sing " Wow! Hey, Frank. That's the motivation I needed. Thanks a ton. Your cover is so soothing. Great work. Keep them coming :)

Someone please tweet this to Chris Martin!

What an empathic resonance...I feel the deeply emotional connection. And It's really so healing. I appreciate your dissolving your life into this song.

Found you recently sir and I must say you are a complete breath of fresh air! I Love all of your covers and originals, keep doing what you’re doing!

The last 2 years ive been dealing with the fallout of losing my family over poor choices I made. I lost a family of a beautiful wife and 3 girls and will not get them back. This song has always touched me, but the heart that you have put into it really puts the emotion of the song on display. Beautiful version, and yes tears stream when you lose something you can't replace.

good sir, the algorithm has decided now is your time. it is yours. take it and run. be happy. thank you for everything. appreciate all the work you put into this channel. nearly 100,000 subscribers in the past 30 days. life is amazing. you of all people will not take if for granted. let this be a lesson to the rest of you. you never known when life will continue to surprise. stay safe friends, be well.

I Love You Mr. Watkinson... Thank God for you and thank you for this song, your voice and pure love and beauty.

For all 95 who disliked this, get a life. This man is GOLD. His music is BRILLIANT.

I wish i met my granpa my parents told me that he was just like you, i want to play songs with him cause because of him im a musician, cause he taught his sons to play the guitar which my father also passed to me. Thank you sir for such a warming performance.

Dear Franky, I always thought of Coldplay as very cheese music, but your rendition reinvents the song totally. Hands down, this is amazing, and I promise you I will learn from my mistakes.

Dear Frank Well done! The mic picks up the emotion in your voice. I close my eyes and enjoy! Then I watch you singcand play too. Thanks friend Geneva

I'd give my left arm to produce this man, a simple raw covers album. So much fucking heart, he absolutely LOVES what he's doing and believes in it.

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for performing this cover for me! I’m in tears. This song means so much to me. I was diagnosed in 2002 with Lupus and in 2008 a brain tumor that can’t be taken out and a whole bunch of autoimmune disorders and seizures. My kids were young then so they don’t remember a lot of the stuff we did for fun and that makes me sad. My husband and I are now proud parents of amazing, compassionate, young adults who are all in college and doing well. The three of them have learned to help during and after seizures. Set up and give IV medication the proper way and they are still trying to help me realize when I’m trying to do to much. Now this song has grown with me from tears streaming down my face because I couldn’t replace those memories, then because I can’t regain my prior health, and now I have this amazing song that that made so so happy I cried. I got a notification that you had just put up this song while I was doing middle of the night infusions and I’m glad I got to watch it right away. Thank you and God bless.

I didnt realize the anxiety and shame I was carrying until I heard this and felt the weight come off my chest,

this cover gives me a lot of comfort. thank you Frank. Please keep singing

So beautiful. Felt like someone wrapped a blanket around my heart.

The humblest things are the most gracious. Thank you for the passionate and simple way to make things really worth. Greetings from Brazil.

I send a message to this sir, he is a very nice person, i love every cover of this men... Greetings from México sir! 😄

Listening while working, Frank. Thank you for sending us music.

Makes it a lot more emotional when he’s definitely been through it all...

So musical, understated and touching: your rendition perfectly reveals the soul of the song and your’s: thank you.

For a second it felt like nothing around me mattered and all I could hear was you singing. Beautiful.

I listen to this almost every night before i sleep. Thank you so much Frank

Your renditions of these songs are my favorite. I know i'm not alone in that thought.❤

THE BEST VERSION I'VE HEARD EVER. ❤

Realy outstanding! Heared 1001 cover version of this song...but yours is definetly the best one!

My grandfather was the worst.. I almost lost faith in all grandpas.. Until i saw this channel. thank you for sharing your precious, soothing videos❤ hoping you're well, sir

Solo puedo decir gracias, gracias, muchas gracias por relajarme con tu voz y con tu sensibilidad. Un abrazo enorme desde el País Vasco

Another song lifted by your great style. A great version again. 👍👏👍

Stumbled upon your channel a few days ago and bloody nora Frank, you're doing something really special here. You somehow manage to make these songs entirely your own and bring out emotions that might not even be detectable in the originals. Absolutely cracking work.

Loved it and the dog comment got me on the floor, thank you for making us smile and feel nice and fuzzy sir 😉🥰

I've cried so many times listening to Coldplay's Fix You. Hearing that version makes me bawl my eyes out. Hearing your rendition makes me stop to take deep breaths. Both versions of songs fill me with hope especially now that I'm hurting.

This is literally so beautiful and full of emotion, please keep doing what you’re doing!!

You are a legend sir. Absolutely loved this cover, beats the original one in my opinion! Thank you for this masterpiece! 😃

Depression has me at end of the rope. Last few months has been bad and it just gets worse. I just want this to end . Go to sleep and never wake up. Tonight I find myself listening to Gods word/music. I belive God heard my cry for help and he's going guide me to the light. Guide me out of this dark hole and back to the happy father & husband I use to be .

This felt like a warm blanket in a cold rainy night. Love from India ❤️

I love Coldplay and this cover!! You do this song so much justice!

Your Feeling makes me cry Man. You really do it Exellent, God Bless U!

What emotion, true talent. I never really appreciated the original song until now. I dare say this cover could be better then the original.

Hello Sir I`m your new listener , your songs are mesmerizing, many prayers and love for you/God bless you Sir.

I've been going through a lot lately and I don't know what do to anymore. I thought I'm already fine and that I'm actually done with stuff thats been haunting me, but I was wrong. this song is like my safe haven and this cover is like giving me a warm and tight hug that I really need right now. Thank you for this, sir. I hope you're happy just like how you made me smile even if tears stil streaming down my face.

I didn't have the chance to grow up with my grandfather because he died when i was still young. Thanks for this pops!

Frank + Coldplay = EVERYTHING TO ME

Who’s cutting onions? Love your channel sir, you are an incredible artist

i never heard this song with so much feeling best wishes from Germany

It's not just the song that you will hear, his heart is being poured into it✨

Love you man. You put so much emotion into your music... I feel it come across, and feel less alone for what you've shared. Thank you.

It's one of my favourite songs. And you sang it too good🥹🥹 Please sing till you can. You're my favourite KZfaqr. I lost my grandpa years ago but you sir , remind me of him. Lots of love and respect✨✨

I love your voice, it is soothing and has lots of heart. So thrilled to have found your uploads 💚

There is probably no greatest felling than pick a guitar or other instrument and play something that you are really feeling, thats a lot of perfect covers but the most important thing for the person who plays it at least is not to sing it well or to play it well, but to feel everything to explore the song, to try to laugh, to feel! Dont play it just for fun choose something that you can feel and if you dont know how to do it you have to grow up and life we ll let some scars on you and then you ll see, love you all from Porto, Portugal :)

Your a true artist this is how songs get sung right from the heart outward ..... just excellent

This is downright real. Fantastic job and cover my friend. 👌

Thanks for comforting us with your take on these songs

What a heartfelt version. Just beautiful.

Excellent Frank. Some songs sound more powerful when sung in a lower register as does this one. I really like your voice and the emotion that you express with it and going by the comments, so do a lot of other people.

Sir your voice is fantastic! You sir ARE a singer.
