I saw him long too long ago in Vancouver, it was fantastic. The bus back downtown was completely full with people from the concert, and mostly quiet until one guy started singing this. The entire bus joined in. It was a great moment.
love this song. sam was one of the best bands i have seen live. saw them two nights in a row in victoria bc with the hip and sam roberts band stole the show!!
I remember watching this on TV back when I was 11, almost 10 years ago now. I can say proudly that I remember seeing Saku Koivu on the TV in the background, celebrating a goal they just scored. Thought I'd share this memory. One of his best tunes.
Don't walk away Eileen I've been living for you since the age of seventeen Don't walk away Eileen You've been telling lies and now it's time to come clean Hey! You come around and I can't keep time Hey! You turn around and I'm left behind Eileen says I'm a boy not a man Cryin' on the corner with my head in my hands I called her name and she ran Slippin' through my fingers like a fist full of sand Hey! You come around and I lose my hand Hey! You turn around and I'm left for dead And she reads my mind when I'm sleeping And she always arrives when I'm leaving Yeah she's blocking out the sun, it seems You're a pacifist with a gun, Eileen
His first record was self produced and is ,to this day if my memory serves me well, the biggest indie seller in canadian history. They are magical live. Top tier act.
1982: Come on Eileen! 2002: Don’t walk away Eileen!! Also, literally just found out this song was released in 2002!! Had absolutely no idea this song is THAT old!! Wow!!
When asked by the police officer why I was speeding when pulled over, I said that a good song was on the radio. He asked me what song? I told him this one as it was the truth. He basically let me go ....minimal fine and a warning. He obviously had great taste in music:))!!!!
just look into that man's eyes. never seen any as icy and piercing as those. they make my knees weak. oh and his music's genius. I think I'm in love...
I am Canadian and although I am not a Habs fan in any shape or form, you guys might all benefit from looking at the standings to determine whether they suck or not. The standings would suggest they do not suck.
Did anyone else notice that there's a retro Philadelphia Flyers game on RDS playing on the TV? With Eric Desjardins in the shot, no less? Makes you wonder if that's a reference to him being from Montreal

@@codesmccheese6951 how did Canada turn Nazi in such short time, props to the Reichsführer Trudy
I can't understand why Sam Roberts isn't huge.
I played hockey with him. Trust me, he’s huge.
That song plays on canadian radio. I heard it today for example
Probably because his pituitary gland limits his growth to that of an average adult.
he is
He doesnt eat much?
This song has officially reached classic status
I First heard this Song in 2007.
I saw him long too long ago in Vancouver, it was fantastic. The bus back downtown was completely full with people from the concert, and mostly quiet until one guy started singing this. The entire bus joined in. It was a great moment.
He was at the restaurant when I was there
I aint walking away.
:D
Eileen I'm in Medicine Hat . Tell me where ur at , an all come where ur to .
How could you dump a fine man like Sam?
Come on Eileen ...
Please dont
He is extremely well known in Canada. Went to one of his concerts once, trust me when i say this man gets the props he deserves up here.
"Your a pacifist with a gun, Eileen." Killer lyrics
love this song. sam was one of the best bands i have seen live. saw them two nights in a row in victoria bc with the hip and sam roberts band stole the show!!
cant stop my feet from tapping another great canadian song

Don't walk away Eileen
I've been living for you since the age of seventeen
Don't walk away Eileen
You've been telling lies and now it's time to come clean
Hey! You come around and I can't keep time
Hey! You turn around and I'm left behind
Eileen says I'm a boy not a man
Cryin' on the corner with my head in my hands
I called her name and she ran
Slippin' through my fingers like a fist full of sand
Hey! You come around and I lose my hand
Hey! You turn around and I'm left for dead
And she reads my mind when I'm sleeping
And she always arrives when I'm leaving
Yeah she's blocking out the sun, it seems
You're a pacifist with a gun, Eileen
Met him after concert once, he is a very down to earth guy unlike some of todays musicians.
also... gotta love the habs playing on the TV!
Born in a flame is still one of the greatest records ever made.
His first record was self produced and is ,to this day if my memory serves me well, the biggest indie seller in canadian history. They are magical live. Top tier act.
A forever rock and roll gem.
I'm Eileen and this is awesome ❤️❤️❤️
More songs about Eileen then there should be.
+Eileen Peskoff Feel Special;)
Hey, at least people don't constantly imitate Rocky and yell "ADRIAN!" constantly at you...
We missed you as you walked away
the biggest audiences dont even understand how amazing his lyrics are
still sounds good from when i first heard it
Tristan Provost TRUE!
Love this. So glad to have met him briefly in Edmonton with my daughter.Good memories!
I love partying with Canadians, mainly Widsor folks who are Red Wings fans at the JOE! I love you crazy bastards
Time sure does fly by! Scary!
I think you got moldy
Flies sure time by
Awesome song by one of my fellow Canadians...my favorite part of the song at 1:25 ...
Easily my favorite Canadian band 🇨🇦
After 54-40
Incubus was good, too
Canada is now officially a Nazi state so i dont support this (Reichsfüher Trudy)
Apex level songwriting/musicianship here...unreal.
1982: Come on Eileen!
2002: Don’t walk away Eileen!!
Also, literally just found out this song was released in 2002!! Had absolutely no idea this song is THAT old!! Wow!!
Although It Originally Was Recorded In 2001.
This should be an NHL goal song
Really not sure why this wasn't a bigger hit.
Great song
yes! thst concert was sick!
I need more Sam Roberts in my life.
OMG this guy is great! can't believe I just discovered this band...
Well it’s been almost a decade. How do you feel about now?
@@stonefaced4578 Still love this band
Rahuel Alvarez Nice! Are you surprised someone reached out?
@@stonefaced4578 Yes you could say so, it's been a long time. But good music lives forever.
This was my first introduction to rock when I was a child, I'm so glad I remembered the name of it
My favourite SR track. Happy Birthday, Sam!
I remember watching this when I was 13 or 14. This was such a fun feel good music video!
this song randomly came in my head. nostalgia! what a great song.
I love the hint of old style rock n roll sound they have.
Don’t walk away Eileen!
i saw him live, and he is amaaazzziinnnggggg
this has been one of my favourite songs since i heard it on a sportsnet seattle mariners commerical when i was 8 years old
Both My Local Alternative Rock Station & The MTV Cartoon Series From 2001 Undergrads Brought Me Here.😀😀😀😀
was there, dope show
I actually never thought this was Sam Roberts
i remember hearing this in a music store back in 2002 back then i did not know much about Sam Roberts or any modern music artist
such as sick song even the camera crew is feeling it
these guys are the future of alternative rock...I hope
ya sam roberts is incredible always been one of my favs.
love this song
Awesome song
I agree, as well. Sadly, hardly anyone knows it in the U.S. but it's in my top 5 of all time.
When asked by the police officer why I was speeding when pulled over, I said that a good song was on the radio. He asked me what song? I told him this one as it was the truth. He basically let me go ....minimal fine and a warning. He obviously had great taste in music:))!!!!

I am Canadian and although I am not a Habs fan in any shape or form, you guys might all benefit from looking at the standings to determine whether they suck or not. The standings would suggest they do not suck.
Seen them at SARS concert wow what a mushroom trip.

Sincerely - a leafs fan
He should have WAY more than 214, 335 views
Did anyone else notice that there's a retro Philadelphia Flyers game on RDS playing on the TV? With Eric Desjardins in the shot, no less?
