Scott Riley also heard it in swiss german before ;)

Scott Riley He did it in Polish when I saw him in Warsaw - needed to use flashcards and he went through it pretty slowly, but the locals appreciated the effort xD

FreestyleManGuru hast du das auf youtube schon entdeckt ? Wenn ja, her mit dem link ! :D

Chris McSweeney yep, that one was amazing! And really funny :D He even did an Austrian version, when he played in Bregenz. Not only German, but Austrian!

Scott Riley Also did a dutch version in the netherlands. But he needed a paper with the lyrics :p

I can confirm. First time I saw him he was a new name to me, but when it was over I walked away with a big happy silly smile on my face.

+Larzz Wright Depends on if you value critical response or how someone's sound/beliefs progress over the years. You could always condense things and just hit the compilations and then his most recent before going back, but I'd say start at the beginning of his discography and work forward. He's only written one song that I truly loathe, so it'll probably be an enjoyable project.

+Larzz Wright Start with "Love Ire & Song"!

+Larzz Wright I love it. Frank Turner, Florence & the machine, Fall Out Boy, Rise Against, Elliot Brood, The National. All bands that get absolutely no radio-time here in Denmark, and I discovered through youtube etc. But it makes it fun finding good music.

+felicia zuniga What song is that? I wonder if it's the same one I detest....

+Larzz Wright I started off with his live album, that's a good place to start I think

Supporter1992 Danke für die Liste, das ist super!

Paw to Paw Keim Problem, gerne! :-P

***** gern geschehen :)

+Supporter1992 Versteh den Hype nicht: Austauschbare Akkorde, ein bisschen Gehüpfe und eintönige Lyrics. Er ist ja nicht schlecht, aber ihn wie Billy Bragg mit Dylan zu vergleichen ist doch ein wenig übertrieben.

Jan Kozek also vergleichen kann man die nicht, da kann kein musikkenner was anderes sagen. In dem Genre den Frank Turner aber verfolgt ist er für mich persönlich noch viel zu unbekannt Die Akkorde, ja lässt sich streiten, anspruchsvoll sind sie nicht aber es klingt. Vergleichbar wie beim Sport z.b fussball, schön spielen hilft nix wenn man dadurch keine tore schießt. Die lyrics hingegen muss ich dir leider widersprechen. Da sehe ich viel Abwechslung und garnicht so viel Eintönigkeit :P

Steve -O See you there!

***** What did he say?

Something like: "and now to my Singer Colleagues: Watch this. This is how it goes! Here's the mothership of the sit-down und jump-up thing. The Original." (They've been practising this since many, many years)

+kylferg Yeah man, looks like it.

+nijimasu1 I think it's not being about anti-god. It's about being pro yourself. He's totally ok with anyone who beliefs in any religion, as long as you don't harm anyone with it. He's an atheist, that's true, but he welcomes everyone at his shows, as long as the person is a good one.

+lalangue that was the vibe I originally got from his songs, but when I heard"glory hallelujah," it changed it for me and poisoned all his lyrics for me- making them all preachy, albeit atheist preaching. It even made "song for Josh" seem like the ultimate hypocrisy.

... can I ask what's hypocritical about an atheist writing 'Song for Josh'? Also 'Glory Hallelujah' is like a celebration of our atheism, the same way hymns can be a celebration of religion. It's not like being one is dependent on hating the other - but leaving religion and realising atheism is right for you is something to be celebrated for us, the same way finding god is something to be celebrated for you. It's really important to try and imagine it from the other point of view. It's not hating you to celebrate who we are.

+ThatWouldBeCareless please re-read my comment.i certainly wasn't coming at this from a pro-religious standpoint. I simply have no love for preachy music no matter what it's preaching for.. and that song is a good example why. by using the style and words it does, it at least tacitly ( if not overtly) mocks the belief system it borrows from, which fosters divisiveness among people. I don't think anyone can dispute that, and that sort of (I'd say snide) negativity between belief systems is what has caused and still causes the majority of strife for the human race at large. As far as Song for Josh, perhaps I am ignorant about atheism. I'm under the layman impression that atheism does not contain any sort of consideration of any kind of afterlife or continuing consciousness after death. From that standpoint, I find the Song for Josh indeed hypocritical. Poor Josh is dead. Nothing left of him. if you're singing a heartfelt song like that to him there's something amiss. if you feel guilty that you could have helped him not take his own life, sing a song of guilt to yourself. sing a song apologizing to his mom. sing a song appealing to others to help their friends before it's too late. But don't allow yourself to bask in the warm fuzzy of singing to someone who has passed if a few minutes before you were proclaiming "There is No (afterlife)."

God that's disturbing. It's more like 'here's what I wish I could've said to you / could say to you'. That's like... The point of art for some people, in some situations. To say what you know you can't actually say to someone.
