I had a cat named Shackleton. I still love him with all my heart. This song makes me cry. This song makes me feel life. I love the song--the original and Frank's version. Please play this live in Salt Lake City this year. Love to everyone here.

A worthy tribute to a quietly extraordinary band.

I smiled thinking of The Weakerthans in Banff Canada Rolling Tundra Tour at The rose Crown with my Kids and Lady

Shit this fucking song makes me cry. I god damn love it. This version is truly amazing. John Samson is a genius.

Don't know of Frank Turner, but enjoyed the cover of one of my favorite songs ever.

0:20 When Franks starts singing, Matt looks over and starts smiling immediately. Love to see that they're having fun, that's what music should do!

I keep coming back to this. Its depressing,but somehow it makes me happy.

Probably because the lyrics are from the view of a cat who wants his very depressed owner to enjoy life like they do.

Fun fact: "Virtute" is named for the city slogan of Winnipeg, "Unum Cum Virtute Multorum."

Thanks! The mystery started with misreading it as “virtue” for years, and then stalled out with the addition of the extra t

It is my understanding that virtute means "strength" in latin, which is very fitting considering the lyrics of the song

@@andrewsozio7814 To be even more clear, vir in Latin is man, so virtute is something like a man's strength or manliness.

Worlds collide. Made my day!

I agree. The Weakerthans never got their due, though.

I Love this 💕💕

This is incredible!

This may be my favorite version, that instrument on the left (I dont know what it is for sure, my current guess in Banjo) adds SO MUCH to the feeling of this song that mixes hopelessness with a sort of hope

The song is truly one of hope, not hopelessness. Or maybe, hope out of hopelessness. It is a positive song. Love it so much.

nothing but love!

Just wonderful.

Nice! Jon would be proud

Have a like! Thoroughly enjoyed!!

after singing this he must think, "well why bother"

💜🐈

Wow

Frank Turner is the only person I know of that has a Virtute tattoo other than me.

Those I know your strongs at the end that aren't in the original wreck me.

Excellent dudes! I'm ripping off your cover; sans-mandolin!

Who would down vote this?

good effort. the vocal harmonies were pointlessly placed and almost a waste, lessened the song.

Man... I really dont like this one,it doesn`t "cover" the original at all!
