Frank Turner really didn't have to go that hard with the lyrics in "Love, Ire, and Song," but he really did, and there is only one other song I know that comes that close to capturing my feeling towards a lot of contemporary "activism."

I mean, fuck man.

(Lyrics transcript below cut)

Well a teacher of mine once told me That life was just a list Of disappointments and defeats And you could only do your best And I said: "Well that's a fucking cop out You're just washed up and you're tired And when I get to your age, well I won't be such a coward"

But these days I sit at home Known to shout at my TV And punk rock didn't live up to what I'd hoped that it could be And all the things that I believed With all my heart when I was young Are just coasters for beers and clean surfaces for drugs And I've packed all my pamphlets with my bibles At the back of the shelf

Well it was bad enough, the feeling The first time it hit When you realized your parents Had let the world all go to shit And that the values and ideals For which many had fought and died Had been killed off in the committees And left to die by the way-side

But it was worse when we turned To the kids on the left And got let down again by some poor excuse for protest Yeah, by idiot fucking hippies In fifty different factions Who are locked inside some kind of 60s battle re-enactment And I hung up my banner in disgust And I head for the door

Oh, but once We were young and we were crass enough to care But I guess you live and learn We won't make that mistake again, no Oh, but surely Just for one day, yeah, we could fight And we could win And if only for a little while We could insist on the impossible

Well, we've been a good few hours drinking So I'm gonna say what everyone's thinking If we're stuck on this ship and it's sinking Then we might as well have a parade So if it's still gonna hurt in the morning And a better plan's yet to get forming Then where's the harm spending an evening In manning the old barricades?

So come on old friends, to the streets Let's be 1905 but not 1917 Let's be heroes, let's be martyrs Let's be radical thinkers Who never have to test drive the least of their dreams Let's divide up the world into the damned and the saved And then ride to the valley like the old Light Brigade And straighten our backs, and we won't be afraid And they'll celebrate our deaths with a national parade

So come on Let's be young Let's be crass enough to care Let's refuse to live and learn Let's make all our mistakes again, yes And then darling, just for one day, yeah We can fight And we can win And if only for a little while We could insist on the impossible

Leave the mourning to the morning Yeah, pain can be killed With aspirin tablets and vitamin pills But memories of hope And of glorious defeat Are a little bit harder to beat

Sailor's Boots (Frank Turner)

And when I think about the place and time where I was born/I wonder if the hands of fate had slipped and placed me wrong/Cause there are ships I could've sailed and sailor's boots I could've worn/If I had been born two-hundred years ago.

"The pure wanderlust, the disappointment, the feeling of not quite fitting in the role you must play in the world. The wanting to be something else, something *more*"

The Soul Eclectic (Chonny Jash)

Screams with no sense for why/One more day and one more night/One more black and one more white/One more chance is all you've left to turn the tides/Tridential regicide/I won't hesitate to kill my Heart and Mind/I will abdicate these deviants sat inside/I'll take you down in tandem when this rope is tied/

"THIS SONG.... OUGh....... the instrumental.... the chaos, the order, the EMOTION. the tug of war between the heart and mind and the soul watching it play out and knowing that it is far above the both of them, knowing it has the power to end both. the irony of heart being logical and mind being emotional. like. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! /positive"

I’m bored so here’s some of my jackets IG, pretty much all of these were jackets that I got on sale super cheap or that I was given.

The purple jacket is my newest and still very much a work in progress, (all of them are escrow the Donnie Darko one actually, purple is jsut the newest) and I need to redo the back patch (Polkas Not Dead by The Dreadnoughts, fave album by my fave band) next to it is my other main jacket which has a Danger Days back design. “Do Good Recklessly” is a saying that has resonated with me a lot so I figured it would be cool to have it there. I got a Reel Big Fish patch coming in the mail soon and I wanna get a Ska Dream patch for it, trying to decide if I wanna add some colored/patterned panels to it bc that night look cool. Gotta figure out what other bands I wanna put on it but it’s kinda hard to find colorful patches lmao

The gray jacket actually started off as a cosplay item for a Killjoys OC that I never got around to doing. I consider this my first jacket even tho there was a really shitty vest that I wore one singular time before I got this one. My boyfriend actually made a few of the patches that are on the gray jacket (Days N Daze and Polkas Not Dead above the spider) as birthday gifts when we first met, I don’t put a ton of patches on that jacket and it’s all bands that are v important to me for various reasons, the Frank Turner one was from the first show I went to with my boyfriend and he has one on one of his jackets too. Mischief Brew is one of my fave bands and their music means a lot to me, LS Dunes (the pyramid) has a really cool community surrounding it so I thought it would be cool to put that there. It also has zippered sleeves which makes it really nice for year round use!! Also has a Billy Idol pin because I grew up listening to Generation X and I still adore that debut album. Im immunocompromised and have a kidney transplant so I decided to add the pins to represent that because they are a big part of who I am.

On the bottom two pics, the left jacket is my queer horror inspired jacket. I am at some point gonna get a backpatch of The Old Dark House of a scene at the end of the movie with Morgan (Boris Karloff) holding Saul’s body (Brember Wills.) It also has a few Rocky Horror related items on it such as the “creature of the night” patch coming from the song Touch-A, Touch-A, Touch Me as well as the iconic lips and Frank-N-Furtor. Also have a The Lost Boys pin and the Babadook as well as a Beetlejuice pin. The Elm St. pin is specifically for Nightmare 2 and Gene Co is from Repo the Genetic Opera, a movie with a bisexual face stealer. It’s a fun time. Frankenstein and the Bride are classic queer coded cinema and James Whales was an openly gay man who directed both (as well as The Old Dark House) in the 1930s.

The last jacket is my Donnie Darko jacket. Donnie Darko is one of my fave movies, everting except the pins were done by hand. The pins are all artists who are actually featured in the soundtrack of the movie.

I think my favourite genre of music video has got to be when theres a Frank Turner cameo, but he has to film himself singing into his phone and then they green screen him in somewhere.

when i keep hyperfixating on various artists all throughout the year, pretending i've never loved anything half as much, and people being confused who my actual favourite artist is like bitch me too

Whenever I reach a certain level of drunk at a party, people have to steer me away from the stereo because what will happen is: I'll put on Weakerthans songs and start singing them at people and trying to explain to them how the lyrics are the greatest lyrics ever written and how the music is the most beautiful music ever written.

Frank Turner about his obsession with John K. Samson and The Weakerthans

#in which frank turner and i are the same person apparently #i've done this so many times (and not just with the weakerthans/jks but also many others lmao) #also remember that phase in my life in which i'd just chat up random people at clubs or concerts #just bc they had the misfortune of wearing a frank turner t-shirt #frank turner #the weakerthans #john k. samson #music

Photosynthesis by Frank Turner

I grew up listening to this song (thanks to my mum), no wonder I'm the way I am, he's got a point though

#was listening this morning and I was like no he's right though #I won't sit down and I won't shut up and most of all I won't grow up #‧₊˚🌸writing #frank turner #lyrics #brandnewpastelroad

spotify keeps ‘choosing for me’ a song about turning 40 phrased entirely in tennis metaphors and it’s like nice try but neither thanks

#tbh it’s a great fucking song though #frank turner #Love 40 Down
