Volume 54: Frank Turner

Every song usually has its agenda of telling a story, more often than not they seem to be about love. But every so often you hear something that is the complete opposite of such, this being "I Still Believe" by Frank Turner. The song's voice is a strong one about how there is still life in rock & roll and how music can be someone's outlet.

                 Now who'd have thought that after all,
                 Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all.


Its message is made quite clear and makes you realize just how much of a connection one can have with music. Sometimes the words we strive to find may be found in a song's lyrics and may fit better than anything than we could have come up with by ourselves. We also may be too subjective about lyrics and interpret them with our own stories in minds, thus changing the origin of the lyrics.

Regardless, Frank Turner's message is loud and precise:

                 So just remember folks we're not just saving lives, we're saving souls, and                  we're having fun.
