i used to come drunkenly listen to this song wallowing in self pity and self hatred wishing i could get sober. Im sober now and Im so much happier. RIP Scott.

[yinnii]

Back here again. Never met you but miss you dearly

[leeroyjenkins]

I dont think I'll ever get over Scott being gone. God bless everyone. Lets keep his legacy going.

[mwebb]

The man was a genius who will never be forgotten! 💔

[danielcharles]

I could only wish i could play a song with just me and my brother

[dbeven]

Words here can't articulate how we all feel. Look after each other guys.

Discovered Scott an FR by chance at the Capitol Hill Block Party. His lyrics have been a part of me ever since. I wish he was still here creating but am grateful to be able to visit him through his music.

Beautiful. As a mother of two sons the chemistry between the two men is so familiar it's heartbreaking.

[ambernichole]

I want to be able to listen to this without bawling like a damn baby 😭💔

Fall prey to the blizzard head
I wrap my hand around the glass again
We all thought that I might change as I got older
Fell down and nothing bled
wrapped in cotton alcohol again
“To the hilt!” I hear from the prick upon my shoulder
Free pour the fruitless thought
far too late to talk so much but
I’m not giving up though I wish that I was sober

Forgive me I can’t speak straight
Forgive me, I can’t…

Choke down the gateway drug
Open the gates in came the flood, it comes
Like a blush of love it hits me without warning
Long nights of getting lost
I walk beneath a bridge I don’t know
I need black suit for tomorrow I’m in mourning
My love, you should know
The best of me left hours ago so
Shove a rag into my mouth and let me smoulder
The fall out and the damage done
I can’t un-sink the things I’ve sunk
Still not giving up, though I wish that I was sober

Forgive me I can’t speak straight
Forgive me, I can’t…
Forgive me it’s far too late
Forgive me, I can’t…

Come and and shake me till I’m dry
I wish that I was sober
Come and to me and kill the night off
I wish that I was sober

My best British friend wrote me today (15.03.19): something for the weekend! Discover "I wish I was sober" by Frightened Rabbit. Since then I am listening your songs and I am deeply touched by the beauty of sound and lyrics. Then my friend added: the singer killed himself last year sadly. I'm devastated that you lost against your demons. RIP Scott, thank you so much for what you left behind, it's beautiful and I have to add: I love your Scottish accent, brings magic to the sound and a big smile on my face. Yours faithfully, Sir Alex

Two beautiful humans. You were loved, Scott. Grant, courage, good man. <3

[bikesandcameras]

Two brothers doing what they love with whom they love. I’m devastated he’s gone.

[dimejinky]

Song i needed today.Thank you pal. Thank you walk soft.

[sandrau]

One of my favourite videos of this song. Kills me every time I hear it, still can’t believe Scott is gone. Always thought I’d catch them next time they played in Glasgow 😪

[patiencekillz]

i miss scott and i found this band after he’d passed

[damianip]

Love this song. Love the brotherly harmonies.

[andersersa]

Amazing person and songwriter. You will be missed.

[nickemerick]

I would sell my soul to have been home in KC to see this. 90.9 is one of the top five things I miss, let alone with FR. Beautiful camera work.

[Ruloathesome]

Song makes me so sad about the fact he is no longer with us.
