Tape Deck Heart, 2013
Written by Frank Turner
To me, Frank Turner can almost do no wrong. I mean, as a bishop in the Church of the Unblemished Bob, I have a tendency to put my musical heroes on a pedestal, but I still think it's legit. He's as honest and literate as Springsteen and raw as Dylan. His best sing-along songs are Scriptures, this one specifically Proverbs. The song comes to a crashing faux-finale at its midpoint and gets quiet, reminding us to focus on this, the moment, forget all the guitars and drums and noise. "So let go of the little distractions / Hold close to the ones that you love / Because we won't all be here this time next year." Be here now.
