That "I catch myself in the mirror, see a pathetic little boy" line really hits home with me tbh. The entire song does tbh "I study the pattern, I see the triggers bit I can't shake em loose" line too
Sometimes you don’t see your worth life’s fucking hard and we don’t always see our way forward. Maybe theres a pathetic boy in all of us it ok though ❤
@@ksts_ he appeared in UK tv shows including wolf blood and Vera as well as appearances in things such as boiling point and the tax collector, did you even check to see if I was correct? Or did you instantly just decide I wasn’t?
I've waited 25 years to hear an artist produce music that we will still be listening to in another 25 years time . This guy is the best I've heard since Oasis . I am blown away with these songs . You are an absolute legend Sam . Crack on lad 👍👍👍
I know exactly what you mean. I love music. I listen to and appreciate new artists all the time. I haven’t been stopped in my tracks for quarter of a century. Sam Fender has done that to me five or six times in the past 10 weeks. He’s astonishing.
The Killers? I just rediscoverd Mr. Brightside that I listened to as a teenager, and I've been listening to their old songs that I missed, as well as their two new albums and all the Brandon Flowers interviews I could find. They're amazing.
this guy is so sad and liberating with his music tho none of it feels sad. it's like he sings the ugly realization of himself and life but that realization helps liberate the soul. amen man south shields here and well proud of the enigmatic soul that you are lad wonderful stuff.
"A pathetic little boy, who has come to get you down". Astounding. There is no one else out there writing lyrics as meaningful as this. The kid is special.
I don't know his first album but I love how his second deals with the underlying issues that affect young men growing up in a working-class environment. Things we were taught to suppress from an early age which then manifest in our adulthood often wreaking our relationships as we come to terms with unconscious toxic masculinity, mental health and an inability to communicate our problems. Truly an album that will live far beyond it's time
61 years old, never been to any kind of concert, took my 14yld grandson to see him in Glasgow ovo as we love his music , big thanks to the Newcastle family there for hospitality shown
Again, another brilliant song and music video. While Spit of You is my favourite single, this also has words that explain a situation I can relate to. I've been in a relationship for over 7 years and it's not always been easy. I've had rows with my partner about how shitty I am and how miserable I feel and the whole speech of "how can you still stay with when I'm like this". I can see the self-destructiveness is embedded in the video and the words of which describe how I have felt about myself many times before. And you feel like you're letting your partner down in the process. It's a horrid feeling, but a very real feeling. Thank you again Sam for writing that into words that describe my feelings perfectly.
1 minute 58 seconds in its my grandad sat in the background.... he was 84 and loved being part of it but sadly passed away yesterday and now this video is part of our memories of him
Why does the entire album gets me back to the time when I was 16 - my friends, the smiles and laughs and hugs and the running around my tiny, dirty hometown. I literally have all these images flowing through my mind whenever I hear his songs.
However, I think that "Get You Down" is the centre song of the whole second album. It is a beautiful, adolescent-power song which brings a gazillion youth feelings to a listener.
Lyrics: I try again I study the pattern I see the triggers But I can't shake 'em loose And all of my anger You take on the chin And I get you down I get you down I get you down I never fought back Just stood there humiliated From the schoolyard to home On the streets that we roam And now I get you down I catch myself in the mirror See a pathetic little boy Who's come to get you down Get you down Get you down Get you down Oh I watch you sleep With eyes of contempt Those eyes were meant for myself But tonight, tonight I'm gonna get you down I catch myself in the mirror See a pathetic little boy Who's come to get you down Get you down Get you down Get you down Get you down Get you down Get you down Get you down Get you down Get you down Oh Oh Oh
Sam is a brilliant talent and songwriter, I'm 50 and I am enjoying the amazing talent of Sam with my young kids, his music is timeless... on yersel bonny lad...
Why does he give me so many Brandon Flowers vibes?! Everytime I hear his voice. He has such an amazing voice. Am in love with it. 2.20am it's Christmas!! Heehaaa! Love you all. ❤✌🏻😁🎄☃️
These visual metaphors, she’s his caged bird watching other men clutch theirs in their hand and watches himself begin to do same unable to shake the patterns and triggers loose. Such powerful stuff, I love Sam bringing his acting back for his own stories. Such talent from these two leads! Yes Sam and Monica! An emotional and encapsulating performance, what a song ❤️❤️
I saw this guy live, before my prophet's gig (Bruce Springsteen). The 18th of May at Ferrara. Great surprise. So glad Bruce and rock music are gonna be in good hands. ubep
This song gives me goosebumps man. I can’t explain it. The lyrics just feel like a triumphing over an obstacle and coming out on top. It also just motivates me in a way. I love this song so much.
Did I hear this being played in the stadium a while after Argentina won the finals?? Or maybe i was hallucinating but it was great seeing Messi smiling to this song 😭❤️
I am speechless. This song is my favorite on on the album and this music video made it even more beautiful for me. You are insanely talented and hard working. Much love from Russia 🇷🇺
Sam you've saved heartfelt lyrics and true rock music from going extinct in the 21st century. We all have to be so grateful for that. Brilliant piece of music!
I'm a middle aged woman but I don't think that matters because I find Sam's music manages to connect with that bit inside all of us that never ages (the outside ages quicker than the inside ever does) Regardless of who we are, most of us experience the same feelings and self esteem issues and doubts at some point and that's what connects people in Sam's songs. What a talented guy he is and from my region too which makes it even more relatable. 👏
I don't know if cry and be sad because of the lyrics and history in the mv or fall in love with the aesthetic and incredible design of the mv. Maybe both.
He’s absolutely insane. I study English literature and creative writing at uni and I can confidently say how this has such a poetic approach to it- it’s phenomenal! The lyrics fit so neatly into the rhythm and it’s so hard to do that! ❤️
Holy Shit. Sam is the British Driver, including iconic jacket with a Neal Fox mermaid instead of the scorpion. This is wild! I love it and I wanna see the whole movie of the story, thank you very much!
this song is so beautiful genuine goosebumps what a song and what a video to with it, when are people going to start taking sam fender seriously, and i mean as serious as some of the best singers in the world
Even though it hasn't been long, this song reminds me a lot when I played in fifa 22 with rb leipzing or mazatlán fc and sadly that fifa was the last one where liga mx was in fifa
Sam's video are always full of metaphors and hidden symbolism. This is another one, I really wonder what he meant with the blue bird/ parakeet. Maybe love, protection and relationship, comunication and guidance. Hidden meaning or not the video is another masterpiece by Sam and all the rest of team.
My favourite Sam Fender song to date, the power behind this is off the scale. He puts his all into every song he makes and it's clear to see. Go'ed Sam!
Can you imagine a world without music? How would you feel about it? What would you miss the most? Te imaginas un mundo sin música? Como te sentirias? Que seria lo que mas extrañarias?
Only just realised that the beat for the 2nd verse matches "the borders" perfectly! He's an amazing artist that is completely overlooked and is the greatest solo rock artist imo
How us it possible to relate to him so much from a nothing in my life to something which took me years achieve... his lyrics fit any person from the late 90's to now...
From and man that as a boy grew up in a hell of a home and never being good enough or wanted by his parents, this song literally changed my life. Thank you Sam Fender
Not a single bad track from an album. Holy shittttt Sam.
That aye is a bit shit
@@bobbyfagan7760 nah man because the lyrics are true
@@bobbyfagan7760 it’s class
Aye is probably my least fav song too tbh. Mantra is a belter. And paradigms
@@joegerard257 I agree I don’t acc like the music in aye that much but the lyrics are great. I also think mantra is the best
He will end up being one of the top musicians of our generation, most people just don't know it yet.
Yes
Well he is already...
Absolut ;=) we blessed to be there since beginning ;=) !!
Na
Seems to be on the right path!
That "I catch myself in the mirror, see a pathetic little boy" line really hits home with me tbh.
The entire song does tbh "I study the pattern, I see the triggers bit I can't shake em loose" line too
Great lyricist
you need to love yourself, you are worth as much as everyone else
Sometimes you don’t see your worth life’s fucking hard and we don’t always see our way forward. Maybe theres a pathetic boy in all of us it ok though ❤
People will listen to this in + 50 years time and it'll still be as powerful. Excellent music is timeless. Crack on Sam. Bloody ripper video too.
This song is on Fifa 22 so it will get the recognition it deserves
A working class hero
@@freshstaticsnow4015 Hahahaha recognition for 1 year maybe then.
This tune is too sick
Not bad 🙂 The video is brilliant
Sam putting his adolescence under a microscope and aiming binoculars at the world. You are truly an artist 🙏🏾
And what did he use his stethoscope and macroscope and telescope for???!!! He stole them??!! Bad Sam!!! Naughty Boy!!!🤣🤣
that was a beautiful and accurate analogy
@@curiositypiqued6573 what
Can't get enough 🔥
That's very poetic you should be a songwriter
Well he's producing some amazing stuff. The drums, the lyrics....but the sax is it's what's been missing from music for ages.
Sam where is your freaking Oscar? I swear your acting is insane. 😭
He was an actor before doing his music thing tbf
@@ksts_ he appeared in UK tv shows including wolf blood and Vera as well as appearances in things such as boiling point and the tax collector, did you even check to see if I was correct? Or did you instantly just decide I wasn’t?

@@georgeolid2646 I totally agree . I love Oasis as well but Sam's songs are straight from his soul.
Sure the next rock thingh so far. Absolutely brilliant said by a 70's rock lover..
TIMELESS!!! find you a musician that makes you feel something. damn, sam has gotta be my dream collaboration!!
It's springsteen all over again, just modernised.
Love em both

Just listened to a few of your tracks and your voice really is beautiful. Keep doing what you’re doing, I’ll be tuned in!

The best song of fifa 22.
By far.
Facts.
+1
The best song of FIFA? Nothing to do with brilliant songwriting?

Wow that's incredible! What a nice memory to hold onto. R.i.p
R.I.P man im sure he was a very loving grandad
Rip to your grandfather brother, that’s crazy
He looks happy!
That’s a nice memory for you to have strength and honour to you Liam
There should be a statue of Sam Fender next to Jackie Milburn at St. James' Park... now that's how you honour a true legend.
His statue should be in North Shields next to our other legend stan laurel.
@@ellimundoe1497 should be in the centre of toon man
Im an old git (62) but you never forget that feeling of youth and this song contains that essence.
Songs like these are timeless.
This Saxophone hits harddddd

Getting “Drive” vibes from parts of this, the watch on the steering wheel especially.
Beautiful 👌🏻
My thoughts exactly
Lyrics:
I try again
I study the pattern
I see the triggers
But I can't shake 'em loose
And all of my anger
You take on the chin
And I get you down
I get you down
I get you down
I never fought back
Just stood there humiliated
From the schoolyard to home
On the streets that we roam
And now I get you down
I catch myself in the mirror
See a pathetic little boy
Who's come to get you down
Get you down
Get you down
Get you down
Oh
I watch you sleep
With eyes of contempt
Those eyes were meant for myself
But tonight, tonight I'm gonna get you down
I catch myself in the mirror
See a pathetic little boy
Who's come to get you down
Get you down
Get you down
Get you down
Get you down
Get you down
Get you down
Get you down
Get you down
Get you down
Oh
Oh
Oh
Thank you for posting that. Really brings out the message of the song.

I’m a geordie and I just fucking love this kid!!!!! Can we all appreciate the sax player aswel!!!
Thanks to our musical fathers and grandfathers we have this quality of performer . I’m in my 70s and the music just gets better.sams the man
I still say you can't beat Hank Williams and Johnny Ca$h . . . and the truly authentic Woody Guthrie!!
Sam's lyrics + the Sax go straight to my soul, I love how sincere his music is!
Raw, authentic genuine talent. Through hardship comes reward. Keep going Sam💙
I think I felt every emotion watching this sam. Your such an amazing music teller.
absolutely class as per usual, its been a long time since ive listened to an album all the way through without skipping a song, well in Sam lad!

Has anyone else noticed that the 'I get you down' line sounds exactly like Radiohead's Fake Plastic Trees, when Thom Yorke sings 'it wears you out.'
This is an actual masterpiece, Sam. Well done to all involved.

Just fuuuuuuk, this lad can do no wrong, the best thing to come out in the music scene in years 👌
That hits deep
This guy is talented ❤
Yet another amazing song lyrics and video reminds me of James Dean who tragically died at the age of 24.
Well done lad xx
the opening verse is my thoughts most mornings. but I persist. don't ever give up.
One of the only music videos I’ve ever seen, that makes you feel emotional like a 2 hour movie. CLASS 👏👏👏
Brought here by FIFA 22. Favorite song in the game
There’s class, there’s first class and there’s Sam Fender class!! League of his own!! 👍🏻

Smoking sam in a leather jacket it something I never knew I needed
Took the words right out of my mouth honestly
Sam's video are always full of metaphors and hidden symbolism. This is another one, I really wonder what he meant with the blue bird/ parakeet. Maybe love, protection and relationship, comunication and guidance. Hidden meaning or not the video is another masterpiece by Sam and all the rest of team.
Petition for Sam to act in all future videos
"I catch myself in the mirror, See a pathetic little boy" wow that hit me like a truck - wasn't prepared for that! Great song.
🤔 Stop looking in the mirror, I'd say.
. . . and perhaps avoid shop windows👍
❤ this song got me through some dark times and still gives me that uplifting feeling.
My favourite Sam Fender song to date, the power behind this is off the scale. He puts his all into every song he makes and it's clear to see. Go'ed Sam!
Everything about this is beautiful. Him and his team are insane artists 🙌
This kid. Am I right? Incredible yet again.
Anyone else get pumped up when hearing the saxophone when Div Rivals or Fut Champs is loading up? Makes me wanna give 100% 😤

What a masterpiece🤝
What a talent this lad is. He deserves, hell he NEEDS to go massive big time. Just brilliant.
i love that he's such a storyteller
Sam Fender is my new favorite artist. Every tune is an ANTHEM.
He's gonna be one of the best musicians of this generation
What an outstandingly talented young man Sam fender just saying like
Only just realised that the beat for the 2nd verse matches "the borders" perfectly! He's an amazing artist that is completely overlooked and is the greatest solo rock artist imo
Thank u Fifa for bring me here. Sam, you have a new fan. I hope to see u in South America soon!
