Lyrics
I heard the name Josephine
It came to me in a dream
And I don't usually set too much store by the things these things might mean
But it was spoken with seriousness
More of a whisper than a scream
So now I'm waiting on some Josephine
To show herself to me
I could have been anyone I imagined I could be
I just needed somebody to wake me from my sleep
I could have been Napoleon
Could have been Beethoven
Could have been anyone, but uncomfortable me
So come now, Josephine, show yourself to me
So come on now, Josephine, give me what I need
I don't like to be needy but needs must
I can't stand being the person that I've been
I'm an impending car crash
And you're the first one on the scene
I'm a defeated commander
I'm a half-deaf composer
I'm a strange name whispered in a dream
I could have been anyone I imagined I could be
I just needed somebody to wake me from my sleep
I could have been Napoleon
Could have been Beethoven
Could have been anyone, but uncomfortable me
So come now, Josephine, show yourself to me
So come on now, Josephine
Let's pretend it's Halloween
You come as a car crash
I'll go as James Dean
I'm Napoloeon on Elba
And you're a hundred days in 1815
I wrote all of these letters to my immortal beloved
And you're the only one who's ever going to know what they mean
Come on now, Josephine
Wake me from my sleep
I could have been anyone
But I ended up being me
I could have been wide awake
Could have been what you need
I wish that I was anyone except for just me
So come on now, Josephine
Show yourself to me
Come on now, Josephine
Show yourself to me
Come on now, Josephine
Show yourself to me
Come on now, Josephine
Show yourself to me

With each passing year I find more of his music relevant to me.

Ditto. Its like I had to grow into the kind of honesty that it takes to listen to it. Basically, maybe, the closest thing to Dylan or Springsteen we have.

Oh yeah !
"I'm Napoleon on Elba, and you're a hundred days in 1815." Might be some of my favorite lyrics ever.
Saw him in Nottingham and cried like a baby the whole time.
I'm in love with this. The whole thing: the song, the videoclip, Frank, the Sleeping Souls... Please, Frank, don't ever change, your music means the world to me.
This world needs more artists like frank
This album is quickly becoming my very favorite of his. For that matter, favorite of all time!
Josephine Brunsvik was thought to be Beethoven’s “Immortal Beloved” that he wrote his famous love letter to. It seems like Frank is drawing a parallel with his struggles he faces in the song and Beethoven’s deafness. Finding the perfect soul mate may be the only way for him to “wake” from his sleep and be free of his struggles. Pretty awesome idea for a song and one of my favorites!

3:24. 100% casting Frank as the bad guy in my as yet untitled (and unwritten) horror movie. Also, the video is great.
I can hear Barney Stinson crying in the background.....
Josephine is a great name

Its just an undeniably beautiful song!
It must have been more than 20 years that I had to listen to a song six times in a row…
Frank Turner is the man
Oh a beautiful song.
I'm in love. Frank, your music got me through hard times after my boy was born. Don't ever change your strong passion of what you do.
positive songs for negative people is the soundtrack of my life
ahh they just played this during the 49ers and Giants football game...sure it was just a few seconds of it but that was all I needed to hear to know it was Frank.
Wow, that was exceptional

This song gives me the shivers, and I'm sober. I can't stop listening to it. What the hell...
Whenever this song starts I pretend to move away from the mic and hit it forward like Frank does, it just feels so natural

Beautiful and resonant, as all of Frank's work.
You turned in to a great sing song writer. That's someone
I love how this music video fits the song so well. The blank ink on the white background is him or whoever wanting something that bad that they created it within their reality. Sort of like the law of attraction
Love this song love Frank Turner your amazing man
I had no idea there was a music video for this song. This is my fav on the album.
Oh wow, I love it ! Super awesome !
This kind of stuff is great to hear. Love the different sounds on this song
I loved that whole video. The concept, camera angles and black and white was really interesting and the music was of course spectacular.
Loving all of the different videos! You're too kind to us, Frank. Will there be more?

hilight of the live show. awesome gig, can't wait until he tours the UK again.
Beautiful.
Well done Frank! Great song & video!
Incredible song. Would love to see a behind the scenes for this video
Not usually my cup of tea, but I've liked the guy ever since I saw him sing Linoleum with NOFX.. thumbs up!
What a fucking video holy shit
Künsterliche Weltklasse
Fantastic video for a fantastic song
This song is amazing I'm actually addicted to it :D
Good song choice for the next video!
This seriously reminds me of the video for "Joyriding" by Frnk Iero andthe cellabrations. Anyone else?

Holy crap this is a good video - really simple, terrifically shot, but most importantly it's got an idea behind it.
So excited for 9:30 in DC!
Don't think you're supposed to eat it, Frank.
Wow, they must really like chocolate sauce! JK, I love you Frank!
Frank was obviously hanging too much with Brian and guys from The Gaslight Anthem, the influence is obvious. Great song btw
Some beautiful symbolism in this video as in his others... taking on the stains weighing down another until they are clean themselves and being left with the damage from searching for acceptance. POWERFUL stuff from one of the most profound lyricists around... if you dig Frank I can't encourage you to check out Brian Fallon of Gaslight Anthem enough... another amazing and symbolic writer with a true story to tell in each song. For both artists each album hits in a strong and unique way.
dare I say this video is A E S T H E T I C?
Amazing, absolutely beautiful transitions. I wonder how many takes it took to cover him?
im that some josephine :3
Love how he did this after a long night drinking the day before 😂
I like it, creepy is good
Bit different to the usual videos! Kind of creepy haha, cool though, and best song off the album in my opinion
Fuckin love frank.
This song is just Amazing👌🏼 11-3-15
Just wish the Butch Walker Song Dr. Effect wasn't stamped all over this great track...
Fuckin awesome.
It's a clansing then two because one. That's I think your dream meant.
Great video! Excepting that spot on his neck which goes back and forth from painted to unpainted...
My names josephine! Lol
great song what was that video
Writing this comment, this video is at 454,028 views. I think I'm responsible for half. It is perfection.
Reminds me to bojacks suicide episode
There's a Josephine from Oh Wonder but she's with Anthony sorry Lmao I'm joking but this is a great song, Amazing work Frank
Its weird hearing people say my name in a song
She cleaning both of you.
Fell in a pot of marmite 😁
he looks like Milles teller
Hi did not you think that the guys you mentioned feel uncomfortable too.
That actress's face is remarkably similar to the lead guitarist's face, Ben Lloyd.
This reminding anyone of Carrie?
WAIT is that real paint?

Not my favourite song on the album,but nevertheless a great song and a great video to match.
barf
gaslight anthem ?
Great video, but again this song has that "good idea, bad execution" feel the rest of the record does. I really don't like the sound of the record at all, which makes me really bummed out as I loved basically every other album (except PotD, that sucked)

+KayleighMorganMusic He has said himself in interviews that as a musician he likes making each album sound different then the last. I for one love every album and every song he has made. But to each their own, i wont shit on you for having a differing opinion
@cxy955

I like the album but I can see where you're coming from. He was deliberately going for a rougher, rawer, more punk sound, and as a result it was recorded pretty quickly, with the vocals from each song being one piece from one take. Sounds a lot less smooth and polished than the last two albums certainly
@KayleighMorganMusic

cxy955 It's odd that you say that because it feels more like a pop record then any of his previous. It's like he relied on the 'full band' aspect way more than focusing on the songs in their initial stages. even the acoustic tracks by themselves do not compare to the quality of his previous written work. To me the actual core songwriting sounds... lazy. I hate to say that because I can't imagine Frank considering his music in that way but that's just how it feels from my end.

+KayleighMorganMusic it is perhaps a little simpler or lazier, but that's a trait of punk as well as pop. this lacks the overemphasised hooks and terrible verses of pop. Not to mention pop is usually overproduced not underproduced
