This guy will be considered a legend in the future, the most promising artist this country has seen for a very long time, I hope this guy continues to write great songs and keep amazing us
@@21hazza definitely agree with you, I'm becoming a massive Sam Fender fan at the moment, I hope he stays this good, he seems like the kind of guy that will write great songs no matter what is going on around him, the Bob Dylan of our time in that respect
William Öhman bit random isn’t it. I mean they’re a perfectly decent band. What makes them indisputably the best band in England? At least Sam fender can claim to be the highest selling English artist this year.
@@ericzum This song likes Brandon Flowers (Killers lead singer) with The War on Drugs playing the music. I love all. This is one of the best new rock songs I've heard in many years. This kid has heart, and talent.
As a 53 year old, this evokes strong childhood memories. My best friend had a tough upbringing. He was from a rough family of drinkers & literally had nothing. Life was tough for him. He got in lots of trouble. People were always after him. We lost touch as we got older. I often wonder what became of him. Thanks Sam. Great writing, great songs & great subjects you write about
Cletus (If I can call thou that) - I agree, whilst not from the north east I'm from an old pit village in northern Derbyshire, which are all closed now obviously, but I too witnessed similar depredation for not only myself but my peers and its so sad to see how "School friends" end up - flipping that though it does also give hope which is what I take from this song.
I cry everytime I watch this video when having a beer, My best mate is no longer with me... I wish he was. This video is our youth to a T.. I'm 38 now, spent my youth in Dundee, Fife and Edinburgh. This video breaks me everytime... I wish I could go back then with what I know now. Jason brother I'll see you in the next life ❤
Im so sorry for your loss brother; but im so happy you’re remembering him and honouring him in our way. I say “our” because sams music brings about a brotherhood of troubled men. Apologies if i stepped on toes but you are not alone and i love you
@@kylehowells5172 Sam Fender is very very good but if you had said the last ten years I would possible agreed but because you said decade's then it could include bands from the 60's, 70's all the way up to the present day and if you think he is better than the Beatles or Oasis then I am sorry to tell you but your wrong.
There is no single artist in the last decade to have this much impact on me as this guy, for the short time that I've been listening to his works. A true artist and storyteller. Sam is a rare gem in this chaotic world. I hope you never lose your luster.
I discovered Sam Fender via a cover version from The Borders of Jack Savoretti (only Vocals and Piano). This original version is so catchy and touching. Never felt like this listening to a song for a long long time. Listen to his new single WILD GREY OCEAN. Another masterpiece. So emotional.
Man, I've played this for a long on time on Spotify but never watched the video, until now! This hits way harder than I thought it would, Damn bro! This is why I love his songs they either pick you up or put ur mind in a place we used to live. That's great music that has that power! ❤
Sam and the lads saved me!! After my brother took his own life because his partner took her own life 8 weeks before I found myself almost doing the same. I felt like the only person in the world to suffer this!! To know that like minded people feel just the same and the bridge the lads created for us all to come together is mind blowing. X
this video made me tear up :’) i love the match cuts in this, they tell the story better and makes it easier to understand who’s who and the similarities of what we see in the present tense. god that ending tho 🤧🤧
I am 65 years of age and I LOVE ALL OF SAM'S MAGICAL MUSIC.... i discovered him and now my son rarely plays anything else!! He has given me hope that really talented songwriter/singers DO still exist. Absolutely fabulous!!
I watch and listen to this at least once a week. This takes me back to when I was a kid. His lyrics, videos, songs have this amazing quality to transcend nostalgia and present day
could listen and probably have listened to this song a million times and will never get sick of the various ammount of emotions i feel, what a perfect fucking song man
Listening to this again a year on, wow the emotion, the beauty in Sam's story telling is amazing. Real musicians take you on a journey and leave you wanting more . He has this down pat.
Can’t believe I’ve only just discovered this song after been out for nearly 6 years. How it flew under my radar I don’t know. What a sound. What lyrics. What a video. All comes together perfectly. Thanks Sam lad
I'm not usually reduced to tears by a song a video but cried really hard after this one especially when you read the lyrics. both the song and the video are works of art.
i hardly ever say this about, well, anything but oh my god, the sheer amount of unfiltered emotion and sincerity in this song, in sam's voice, makes me choke up and stop in my tracks every time
Looks like a love triangle which ruins the lives for all the three of them. Rarely have I seen something that poetic as a music video, it's so beautiful
The moment I discovered his music, I've been scouring youtube because I had to hear more. This, and All is on my side have been my favourites ever since. Oh he is a talented lad. So glad that all his and the band's hard work is paying off and I can't wait to see him in Dec! X
Bruce Britsteen. Sam has been an absolute banger the past years, he is now getting the recognition he deserves and will absolutely ascent besides the musical legends. He for sure already did for me never change lad
My favourite track on the album, I can't stop playing it. Love the beat, guitar chords, everything (a little like early Police) and he tells a great, if sad,story.
I'll be 71 in May and I looove Sam! Had heard of him ,mainly fom Dead Boys and Winter Song ,but my husband bought me his 2 albums for xmas a few yesrs ago and I absolutely looove them.Was devastated as I got the chance of a ticket for his concert at St James's park,but couldn't go because of my mobility problems!.We sat in Leazes Park and listened to him instead!
What a beautiful video. The song and cinematography are absolutely brilliant and tell an incredibly sad story. Nothing short of remarkable. Greatest video ever made.
This is simply genius. I love this sound...I kept it listening and I never get sick of it. And the lyrics is simply poetry. Masterpiece, hail to you Mr. Sam
This guy will be considered a legend in the future, the most promising artist this country has seen for a very long time, I hope this guy continues to write great songs and keep amazing us
Definitely. This is timeless, unlike most of the crap which comes out today.
@@21hazza definitely agree with you, I'm becoming a massive Sam Fender fan at the moment, I hope he stays this good, he seems like the kind of guy that will write great songs no matter what is going on around him, the Bob Dylan of our time in that respect
@Ossarian strongly disagree
@Ossarian again your opinion, this happens to be mine, respect it or leave the comment section
@Ossarian read the comment again, I said in terms of how he write his songs, he is a modern day Bob Dylan, I didnt say he was Bob Dylan
Sam Fender is absolutely killing it right now. He’s without a doubt the best uk artist on the scene.
Nathan Torode one of
Finn Lxke *he is*
I'd say it is hard to argue that anyone other than The 1975 is the best on the UK scene right now. But Fender is gonna be huge for sure

Holy shit Cam, actually I'm not that surprised to be honest 😂
amy hansford sym
can we take a minute to appreciate THE CINEMATOGRAPHY
Like a movie
I always does 😉
@Adrian Heron I disagree I think the song is sooooo good the video was is great but the song can be related too as well by many
Honestly.. my god
@Adrian Heron not at all, both mix perfectly
Nothing like I’ve seen before this guy is a great story teller
He sounds exactly like The Killers.
@@ericzum This song likes Brandon Flowers (Killers lead singer) with The War on Drugs playing the music. I love all. This is one of the best new rock songs I've heard in many years. This kid has heart, and talent.
@ericzum His voice sounds a lot like Brandon Flowers that's true. But in my opinion the songs are even better. He is a wonderful storyteller indeed.
I don’t think Sam even knows how he will go down in history.
I really hope he will be as big as Springsteen for example. He'd deserve it.
there’s literally no other way to describe this. it’s stunning
There's literally a million ways and more to describe ... Everything. Great song.

He is just the best of all time

Heart wrenching

Louis Tomlinson introduced me to Sam Fender and honestly? I'm thankful.
akanshya yes 👌🏻😍😍
👏
Still crying, can't stop and won't stop
Same story
Springsteen, Killers, The War on Drugs with a Geordie twist. Love it!!
To a Tee. Couldn’t have said it any better
this video made me tear up :’) i love the match cuts in this, they tell the story better and makes it easier to understand who’s who and the similarities of what we see in the present tense. god that ending tho 🤧🤧
Strong Springsteen vibes and I love it. Truly amazing song, makes me want to go out for an evening drive on good roads 😂
So sad and so beautiful at the same time..
The best music videos inevitably are ❤️
Love all of his song 🎶❤️
Artist of the year and album of the year, not even a debate.
Gerry Cinnamon?
@@ianbourne9970 Different years
@@Daddydaft fair enough like
The guitar solo from 4:30 onwards is simply spine tingling, hair raising and fantastic
4:34 startet crying...so much emotion
This guy make this 50 year old geezer remember what its like to feel like a 20 year old dude. Nice!
Same here. I'm 46 and his stuff is just as raw, urgent and powerful to me now as it would have been to 17 year old me.
Honestly, kudos to Sam and his team for quality songs and videos. It’s hard to find these kinda truthful art nowadays.
I am 65 years of age and I LOVE ALL OF SAM'S MAGICAL MUSIC.... i discovered him and now my son rarely plays anything else!! He has given me hope that really talented songwriter/singers DO still exist. Absolutely fabulous!!
His music rips through my soul and I genuinely can't get enough.
The cinematography, the lyrics, the storyline - it genuinely makes me bawl my eyes out.
Springsteen + The Smiths + The Killers = Sam Fender. Great music kid.. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm detecting a bit of Sting and The Strokes as well
Oh and Tears for Fears
You should have more likes for this comment 👍
Oh and War On Drugs.
Best mix
The lost art of story telling lives on through Sam Fender
His voice has such a melancholy aspect to it that just hit's me in the chest.
I cannot stop listening to all sam fenders songs they resonate so much and give me comfort thank you 🙏
I watch and listen to this at least once a week. This takes me back to when I was a kid. His lyrics, videos, songs have this amazing quality to transcend nostalgia and present day
Possibly the most hard hitting cinematography for a song i have ever seen. What a work of art this song is.
This is art in it's purest form! Sam Fender is an artist not just a singer.
This is phenomenal. I don’t understand how I just heard of him now.
Keep going through the tunes mate. Lads quality

Favourite song 💙
could listen and probably have listened to this song a million times and will never get sick of the various ammount of emotions i feel, what a perfect fucking song man
I seriously can't believe am just discovering this beast what a f***ing talent bravo Sam 👏🙌
Ditto…I’m still in shock. Reeling from Seventeen Going Under…only to find out he’s been around a minute…what a talent. 😳
he's gonna be BIG!!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sam Fender only releases the most visually beautiful music videos. I love this so much.
I love how he’s a fellow Geordie ❤
I just heard this song... and my mind its blown!! Can we please talk about the sax and the solo at the end?? Its mind blowing
I LOVE blasting this song and screaming along to the last verse while driving. Heart breaking song and so powerful!!
Listening to this again a year on, wow the emotion, the beauty in Sam's story telling is amazing. Real musicians take you on a journey and leave you wanting more . He has this down pat.
This guy's earnest and theatrical in all the best ways. Holy shit.
Best tune on the album 🎸
I could have done with Sam Fender 10 years ago. His lyrics resonate deep within me as I'm sure it does with many up and down the country.
Bruce Springsteen his songs great about working class usa life
I am glad the best song of the year has a music video. The way he sings "that house was living hell "and The saxaphone at the end get me every time.
Can’t believe I’ve only just discovered this song after been out for nearly 6 years. How it flew under my radar I don’t know. What a sound. What lyrics. What a video. All comes together perfectly. Thanks Sam lad
Same .. I played it 20 times in a row . Amazing amazing
can’t put into words how amazing this is. literal art
What a belta man!! #tynemouth #welchy
Growing up in a small town in England this song resonates
Une vraie découverte d'outre-manche, quel talent.
Storytelling at its finest 👌 2yrs listening to this,it only gets better ❤❤
This might be my favorite song of all time
I'm not usually reduced to tears by a song a video but cried really hard after this one especially when you read the lyrics. both the song and the video are works of art.

Absolute favourite of Sam's videos - stunning songwriting and the transitions between older and younger have been done superbly, just superb.
Love you Sam. So proud. Xxxxxxx
Didn't expect to be hit by that truck of emotions. Amazing.
My absolute favorite song and now it has an absolute stunner of a music video... thank you, just thank you Sam ❤️
Big love from Poland!
Hope to see him next year. I’m obsessed.
Sam Fender your music is amazing. Thank you
Rare for an artist these days to make you feel something. Modern music to me has no soul and the lyrics mean nothing so well done Sam 👏
Looks like a love triangle which ruins the lives for all the three of them. Rarely have I seen something that poetic as a music video, it's so beautiful
This song and video really hit me hard..
Masterpiece.
Well done Sam Fender👏
