    Suuuuuuuper awesome. Your own voice. But recognizable.

  3. Kirstin says:

    Love it Fran! Can’t wait to hear/ own the rest of the album

  4. pcg says:

    Love. This was great live at the Greek last night, and equally great on recording. Like I said on the Spin site, this is much, much more significant than just killing time until the next Travis album; this is really great stuff.

  5. Jono says:

    Well Done, sir.

  6. Samuraisandy says:

    Oh, I love it, Fran! Did you collaborate with anyone on this? I like the drums a lot. Was that you?
    Fran says “The drums are Johnny T. He plays for Ryan Adams sometimes. He’s a real patron”

    Oy! Do you have an album coming out soon?? I am absolutely loving “Buttercups”!! My hubby and I met you and Andy last October at the Largo at the Coronet (in LA) and it was honestly the most fantastic concert we had been to. It was definitely a much needed show for us (I had just been diagnosed with a rare disease and was in the process of it all) and it made us forget all our troubles for the time being! I was so embarrassed to meet you guys because my face was so swollen (due to bad side effects from all the medications I had to be on), but you guys were so kind and down to earth that I put my vain concerns aside. It was a long drive back to San Diego (where we live), but we listened to all your songs all the way back with big smiles! Thank you for creating such beautiful music for all these years and I can’t wait to hear more!!! <3

    Hi Fran
    it was fun meeting you yesterday at Disney. I wanted to say a big thanks to you and your manger for the tickets. What an amazing show! I’m looking forward to hearing more… and seeing the album artwork you spoke of onstage!
    Continue following your inspiration -it’s taken you far!

  11. Cricket says:

    I wasn’t sure what kind of sound to expect… But was instantly impressed. I’ve been needing something new to move me for a while; this might be it. Beautiful work, Fran.

  12. Alia says:

    I love this song! Fran, you are awesome!

  13. Roxanne says:

    Playing it on repeat

  14. Almond says:

    I wasn’t going to listen to any of the tracks of Wreckorder until the album release… but since you are giving us permission to do it, and when I said that I wouldn’t listen to any song I meant the YouTube recordings (hehe), so I will do it. It’s the single, so I guess we’re allowed to have at least a listen, right? :P Ok, I’m trying to make peace with my mind since I am not keeping my word :P .

    Loved the tune, it’s so… you! Can’t wait to listen to the whole album! *excited*
    And sorry, but that girl just didn’t deserved you! ;)

    I wasn’t going to listen to it, as I always wait until I have my own copy of the album, but I couldn’t resist, and since it’s going to be the first single… I loved it!!!! It’s a beautiful tune. Thank you for your music, Fran, it’s as soul-filling as always!! I’m so excited about the upcoming record!
    I have this one technical question. Will Wreckorder be released world wide? I’ve been trying to find out something about its release in Argentina but with no luck. :(

    Lovely melody and a story to pull at your heart. I pictured you with a wee posy of flowers and the girl turns up her nose and you look crushed. I love songs that create pictures in your head. I love it. Thanks Fran. x

    Really liked the song, especially the chorus. Waiting patiently (not) for the album.

  29. Tomaflix says:

  34. mie says:

    beauiful song!
    i cant wait to listen to your whole album.
    …and happy birthday:) omedeto!

  35. Ana says:

    You have no idea just how happy it makes me to finally listen to one of the songs you’ve been working on. I didn’t know what to expect from a solo album and now I can honestly say that the single sounds 100% like you.
    Gotta love the shift from slow to fast when the chorus breaks. You’ve never lost the gift of storytelling through songs and music. There are no words to describe the feeling that comes with the first listen.
    I can’t wait to have Wreckorder in my hands… (I hope it won’t take too long to be released in Uruguay).

  36. Feya says:

    The song is just typical you, Fran. Simple and beautiful.
    Love it!!
    Looking forward to listening the whole album :)

  37. Lila says:

    Fran,
    When I first heard the title of this single, the first thought I had was of the Willa Wonka & the Chocolate Factory movie (original w/Gene Wilder). There is a scene when the lucky Golden Ticket holders first enter Wonka World and they are in a magical garden where everything is edible. Anyways, Mr. Wonka picks up a buttercup (more like a cup and less like the flower) from a bush and takes a bite out of it! It was probably white chocolate with a yellow hue, but it looked like the most delicious thing ever! Just thought you’d like to know :)

    Love the song!!!

  38. tiffanie says:

    Great tune! Attend l’album avec impatience!

  39. JonH says:

    It was a pleasure to meet you yesterday outside of Warner Music Group
    Fran says “you too”

    Hope you are having a lovely day, Inge

  43. Nicole says:

    Amazing song – I can’t wait to hear the rest of the album! Unfortunately, the show in Dallas is already sold out. I only want to see you – not Keane. Any chance you will tour when the album comes out in October? Please, please?

    P.S. Happy Birthday!

  44. Rachel says:

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRAN!!! Hope you have a good one!!
