Build Me Up Buttercup - Frank Turner (Cover)
Better then the original? I think so.
Frank did this cover for the Centrepoint "1969: Key to Change" Charity album, which was made to help combat homelessness in the UK. The rest of the album can be found by following the link below, and i highly recommend it, for a good cause and with some great covers on it.
Right, well that's the Ad Spot out of the way, here's the link:

This particular version digs deeply into the darkness of the soul, rends the pain fron our psyche and prominently displays it in a stripped down manner, in it's most vunlnerable and naked glory, for all to bear witness. You FEEL the truth that lies behind the song on such an abyssal level that in a way makes you almost feel as if you've wronged yourself - even if you have never been.
Holy shit. I never thought anyone could improve that song. I didn't want him to stop.
Frank Turner is my fucking hero
G-d bless you for understanding and evoking the poetic agony, love and longing of this song. This is on a par with a magnificent version of "With a little help from my friends" done by an English artist in 1969. That guy's name escapes me, like all good things eventually escape me
i love his voice! nobody get mad but his voice is like a mashup of blink 182 and mumford and sons, kinda gravelly/folky with a dash of good ol' fashion garage band passion

I'm mad!
A really powerful cover. Makes you understand the lyrics way more.... plus he has an awesome voice :D
The original is so upbeat that you don't realize how depressing it really is.
This song has been stuck in my head since I was little. Makes perfect sense I would find out he covers it right now.
Great take on a classic! Love the plucking, I mostly use plucking technique as well! Cheers mate!
I love this cover because it's so much more appropriate in tone than the original, but my pesky brain keeps adding in the perky "Ooo-ooo-ooo!" choruses.
i wish he would get more popular in america so we good music ends up on the radio. met him at a DKM concert, awesome guy
What worries me is that, at his concerts, you would follow him off a cliff.
Sums up my situation so perfectly.

Beyond epic. Way better then the original. So simple. So beautiful. Love love love Frank Turner.
gonna be on the second three years! so stoked
The original is my favourite song ever... Love Frank's unique spin on it, it's really good. I wouldn't go as far to say better than the original, but by god, it's up there!
I love Frank Turner! Just so amazing and I could listen to him all day for the rest of my life =]
IMHO, this cover is far and away better than the original ever was based purely on the emotional response invoked by the artist. Sure, the original was a wonderful song and conjured up many fine memories of my childhood. Happy, bouncy, upbeat - it harkens to the carefree days of my youth hanging out with my friends by the river in the late summer sun. But in my adolescence, I never delved deeply into the lyrics or their true meanings...
I love you Frank.
So much love for this!
That was uncalled for. He's allowed to dislike Frank's art.

frank singing this song to the image of him in a Black Flag shirt. rad.
certainly better than the original. frank turner is amazing
Him and Julia Nunes need to do a duet.
Black Flag T-shirt. I'm subscribing.
@LSmithLUFC95 I never said that the Foundations sounded inappropriate :) My point was that better singing doesn't necessarily make a better version. Taste does.
amazing! I have nothing else to say
@sfussenegger the foundations sounded frustrated in a very appropriate way! (not by shouting)
i`m in love ♥ ^^
Great shirt.
mate, that shit sounds good.....great job
Is this a different version of Wessex Boy? The guitar sounds so similar
@LSmithLUFC95 ever listened to the lyrics? whatever you call shouting is more than appropriate
Yep, love this shit.

Hey look it's me 4 years ago lol.
I didn't really like the original. This is the right tone for the lyrics.
@theMATTYTILLDAWNshow Only 3? :P
fuck yea..frank turner wearin black flag
hahahah! These are true words.
@deshwutat Irrelevant. You can't say an opinion is wrong. I think that this is better than the original. Now, you're telling me it's not, to which I reply 'it is' and you say 'it's not'. You can't bring facts into it, opinion is opinion. Outplayed.
eliza 😞
Is there anything he can't do? =3
God, this reminds me so much of someone that it's not even funny.
Okay, this is in no way, shape, or form better than the original. To say that shows ignorance, and I'm sure artists of his caliber would agree. A cover can never be BETTER than an original. Why? Because without the original, the cover would never exist.
you kill the song, in the good way
I read it just fine. I expressed my opinion on the matter, and you replied by saying my logic is "stupid". That is just the way I see it; my OPINION. And how exactly do you see me as a hypocrite?
3 people have no souls.
Better than the original

How intelligent of you!
No, it is people like YOU who make the "Earth a worse place to live". He stated his OPINION. You cannot label an Opinion "Stupid Logic". I also believe the Original to be Much better than this cover--Turner's cover is Gaunt, and overly drawn out--but still a decent cover. And NO, that's not like saying "the first computer is better than newer models". That may be the worst analogy I've ever heard. I'm a Musician of 12 years; go ahead, try and tell me my opinion is "wrong"
People like me make the earth a worse place to live? Because I expressed my opinion? No, people like you make the world a worse place to live because you can't accept that there are people in this world that don't like the same things that you do. I have a God given right to express my opinion. I didn't like this cover. I love Frank Turner originals, but this cover didn't impress me. I happen to find the original a better song. Maybe it has something to do with the memories the original brings.
No where near as good as the original, the Foundations sung it without shouting!
Not quite better than the original................... but this is a good rendition.
Maybe you should re-read my comment. My argument was with your logic and you my friend, are a hypocrite.
U DID NOT
