❤❤❤❤ Sam please go back on tour in the US!!! If you can't make it to North Carolina, then I'll come see you in New York, or wherever!!! You are amazing, and don't ever lose your faith!! I'm such in love with your music! Love Always, your biggest fan in America (Statesville, North Carolina) Amber ❤❤❤
I'm watching this in 2023...and I just wanna know if you realize how many Americans have now watched your and Rens videos of y'all busking? Ren has blown up here in the States and thru that YOU have been seen and your Angelic voice has been heard and LOVED!!! How do you not have more subs?!?!?! Your voice is a sexy silk that moves people...at least it does me!
Man... I sometimes imagine how insane it is that we have all these small variables in our lives that have a huge.impact. Imagine you busking a couple of streets down or not busking the day you met Ren.. Small decision, but the result may have been so different. It's mad!
i remember the fist time i saw you singingwas with ren in brighton i stopped and never moved till you had finished i have lived here for 30 od years thank you both for that moment in time
Hi. I subbed and I'll go find your insta here in a few. You look so sad underneath everything else going on here. I hope your in a better place now Sam. Your too pretty to be so tragic. Sending love from Oklahoma.
Just finding this now. You were always great. And it's wonderful seeing you and Ren together! I love Ren even more after hearing your story. What a standup guy.
A RENegade's concert, or even tour, one day would be wonderful. Sam Tompkins, Chinchilla, The Big Push and others/including The Wolf and other discoveries
If 1 kid picks a guitar or buys a mic starts his own thing cause he saw you guys..Your job is done, we all want to be able to make a living doing what we love but very few do most give up, your an inspiration to others and in my opinion for me the most joy is inspiring someone and showing that all you need is belief and yeah youll get laughed at etc but in the end if you love it youll shine and be the one with the memories and stories of the amazing people you met on your journey, fame or no fame its about following what love and being an inspiration !...
Awesome..To have footage of the day you and Ren met and played for the first time is worth more than everything that came after it, what a memory to have for the rest your life, tear jerker. you guys have come so far on your own terms no words amazing, wished I was more aware at the time as around that time the band I joined for 1 gig as they needed a guitarist started our own night at The Hope Sat nights in 2005 called The Stash that 1 gig turned into 7 years once every month, we loved given new young bands gigs cause Saturday night all there mates could come would of loved to have had you guys play...Thats amazing footage, im a big bab..thats brought a tear to eye, made me feel alive!..Big Love to you guys!
Sam you are in permanent beast mode. What an incredible voice you have. I cried when you teared up on stage with Justin, just watched it again for the feels. What an amazing experience for you. You deserve that sort of recognition. Pretty sure Justin thinks so too. And all his fans, they loved ya. Keep on keeping on Sam, give our man Ren a massive hug from us all when you see him.❤
Hey Sam, I'm also a musician and I'm from brazil, I'm a huge fan of yours, I was really feeling a bit down lately, doubting myself for the last couple of months, then I watched this video, hearing all your stories, listening to the message at the end, made me happy and glad to do what I'm doing right now, you're amazing!!! Thank you for sharing this with everyone.
The way you and ren met is awesome. You both don't just make amazing music together or separate, but the passion and talents you both put into each of it is like straight out of a movie.
oh man the story of you and Ren meeting is so cute. I didn't know that he's older than you and effected your music career that much. He's like an older brother to you so sweet
Meeting Ren not knowing his talent prior but knowing now, when you look back you must think that was one of your luckiest breaks in life, and not just that you can tell he is one humble guy, that just loves creating music and saw your talent and gave you not money but the guidance and encouragement, the world would be a better place if there was a lot more Rens. I was thinking the other day that since lockdown a lot of artists that have great talent but not had many followers because their not in the limelight, have actually started to shine with people having more time to listen to proper talent and not the junk that's served up on the radio every day and it now it seems they are understanding what talent there is hidden in the depths of youtube, etc? For me, it's the fabulous lyrics that bind together so well and aren't repetitive but giving people something they can actually relate to, not just about breakups but about everyday life and struggles. Love your work man
Thank you for sharing the parts of the journey we don't get to see... The fact that Ren was doing that for a kid in the street singing. Amazing. Can't wait for you to do the same thing for another kid out there Sam
Thank you for the fact that this video exists at all, because it is unrealistically inspiring and it’s doubly cool to watch it now, knowing how much you have already achieved. You are so alive here wow 🥺
Ahhh so sweet, young Sam and Ren! It’s so cool you have this on video to look back on. You were good then but look how far you have come now! The world is your oyster! Good luck 🖤
I found you through watching Ren, but you shine all on your own as well. You two together are absolutely amazing, but I want you to know that your talent is seen and appreciated. Your music is amazing and beautiful and im glad I discovered you. ❤❤
Also just to add to that, this whole video really motivated me, I’m busking now every chance I get just trying to make a little name for myself & this is just what I needed to motivate me to get grinding on posting covers x Thank you Sam ❤️
i literally sobbed when he told the story of how he met Ren and showed the vid... i love you both sm and knowing Ren is legit as genuine and loving as he seems just makes it all so much better
when you told the story about the other busker helping you out I was intrigued..but when you said it was Ren my jaw D R O P P E D ! That is such an amazing story and now all these years later, loving what both of you do, I am so thankful and happy that moment happened❤❤❤
I never knew this was how you met what a fecking legend, Ren big up to you bro.👌👌👌👌 An all your vids are sick Sam, Ren, the Big Push all of them thanks. All summer sat in garden chilling with family, I blasted your tunes out.
This is the first video I've seen of you talking and I absolutely loved it. Your stories are amazing and how great is that video of you and ren? You guys are so awesome!
When you're now starting off something 8 years into the future looks far away. But when you look back 8 years feels like yesterday. Love this video. Thank you for sharing 😊🎶🎵🎶
Just got to say, the cover of little lady is crazy, ive been listening to you and Ren for a few years now and i love everything release. Keep up the good work man.
noooooo it is not awkward that you stopped them, I would never had the courage . props props props. also that video could go viral if you titled it "boy sings to bastille their song" something like that
I've been following you for a while. I remember when you sang in the car park with Ren singing blinded eye and that angry security guy😂 In all seriousness when I watched your busking videos I wanted to sing just like you! You have always been a massive inspiration for me! That's why I can now sing because of you! So thank you🧡
Sam this video was so inspiring.. I literally admire you so much and im so happy everything is working out. The part where you told the story of how you and Ren met is so cute and it made me tear up😅 Also the first video of you singing with your turquoise wall is amazing!! Ahaha your voice is the best😊 thank you for everything!!💖
It is amazing how his voice, personality and soul have been shaping even more over time. You are a great artist, and I am very to be able to follow your journey and support it. I would support a cover of the songs in the video, in the "adult Sam" version
Yo bro 20 minutes is not enough time to meet such a great artist!!!! Keep doing these videos cause I loved to know more about your story and I know you will hit a million soon 💪😎
This was inspiring to watch mate, seeing where you're at now. Amazing. It would be cool if you did like a video on songwriting, the first song you wrote and how you've progressed etc. I've been playing all my life and I just can't write anything 😂 then I listen to 'not so grey' and I'm like HOW lmao
I love that you’ve decided to switch up your content, can tell that you enjoyed yourself and that’s what’s most important. I’d heard the story of how you and Ren met before but didn’t know you had a video from that day, how amazing 🥺 Been obsessed with you two since I first heard of you over a year ago from the classic blind eyed video ❤️
Loved this video, learning more about your story and watching you giving hope to little bedroom singers haha 🤩 You deserve way more than 200k subscribers Sam... I've been following you from France since about 5 years now maybe more. Love what you do with Ren and alone too, wish you a great and long journey in the music world 🎶😊

I definitely agree with this idea!!! i love his writing and would love to know how the process goes
Ahhh this is awesome. I'm new to Ren and you. Your history is brilliant.
Sam I remember watching all of these videos when you put them out on TH-cam ! You should be really proud of yourself !
That little head shake after “can’t get me out of the clubs”....I rate the self awareness 🖖🏾
