Unbelievable tune. 41 years old and I thought British music was dead. Keep it up Sam lad! This songs got the lyrics, the drums, the guitar, the sax, the lot! It's a fuckin beast of a tune!
The more I listen to it the better it gets tbh. I walked 3 miles to open up my warehouse down south at 4am with this on repeat singing my fuckin head off with no-one around. I've commuted 4.5 hours back up North, had a big fat joint and this boyo has released one of the best songs by a British artist in fuck knows how long and I listen to everything. Every week, every month it's my obsession but this tune and lyrically and passionately is off the Richter scale. I'm sure the album will be amazing but this song hopefully will become and should be a classic in the great pantheon of All time british songs alone. Its unreal
Damn, im 17 here and i love the song. And you right, its a fucking banger. I love the emotion behind it and the story it tells too. Just the little things that make it a real tune.
@@garrygarryson520 I see my mother, the dwp see a number is an unbelievable line. It's a genius song. I hope it gets recognised over the coming years as one of the Best British songs and a classic. It's off the Richter scale this song the young lads written and hes got loads in his locker, what a talent. His new song Aye is quite something aswell
The emotional intensity of this song is off the scale. He is bearing his soul with all pain he has endured. It is both revealing and very painful yet the song incredibility takes you to a better place, Pure God given talent in action.!!
Not a day goes by without listening to this young man in my car on my way to work. A real discovery for me. This music gets me trough the day. Singing along sometimes with tears in the eyes. Love this music.
Omfg..😭💖🤘✌- that^^ is exactlyy why I am a songwriter.. Like.. f being an accountant or other whatnot 😝 I mean, did some job, get somebody ~through their day~ ?!?! No, the musicians and other entertainers do! 👌👏🎉 The songs we musicians write & play, are what people turn on in their room, their car, or at work..so they can keep breathing & not go insane 😝💜💖🤘
I feel a Bruce Springsteen vibe in this song. It’s honestly opened a whole can of emotions for me I think we can all remember being seventeen and feeling we were going under. Made me appreciate being past it and still alive.
58 year old average guy here, a father, a recent grandfather and husband, consider myself a well balanced good man, but the unreconciled scars from my teenage years still cause negative feelings in me now - I've heard this song at work many times and I recognised myself in the lyrics. Had to come here to say, well done Sam, great song lad! Sorry to say, it DOES stick around!!
That's the thing with anger It begs to stick around So it can fleece you of your beauty And leave you spent with nowt to offer Makes you hurt the ones who love you You hurt them like they're nothing Genius lad speaking for a lot of angry young men.
24 hours ago I knew this lad was a singer from Newcastle, that’s it never listened to his songs till now. This music resonates with almost every northern, working class, poor family. 👏
"And the boy who kicked Tom's head in Still bugs me now.. I was far too scared to hit him But I would hit him in a heartbeat now" "And I armed myself with a grin 'Cause I was always the f' joker Buried in their humor Amongst the white noise and boys boys" Sam's songwriting is genius. A total narrative of life growing up North I can totally relate! Got my ticket I can't f wait for the tour!!
I'm from the North East, Stockton. Never confuse the North East with the North. It's far harder to emerge from our neck of the woods and achieve something incredible like Sam has. I'm super biased but fuck me - what a talent!! Sam Fender is a genuine throwback rock star who makes folk proud to be from a region that hasn't had too many heroes for a while. He even sings in his own accent! And as for that beautiful yet powerful voice - it's like Jeff Buckley's been reincarnated!!
God I resonate deeply with “I was far to scared to hit him, but I would hit him in a heartbeat now”, cause it reminds me of my “father”. He was abusive and used fear to control us but now that I’m 20, not 6 or even 10, god I would knock his damn lights in now no hesitation. I guess the lyrics are right “That’s the thing with anger, it’s begs to stick around”
Love that accent lends pure authenticity to the emotions of the song.....am seventy but it awakens my memories......timeless brilliance. Well done Sam.....you don't sound like anybody else to me you are genuinely unique and an amazing talent!
The album is going to slap. Been following his Facebook stories all through lockdown and there’s some great stuff that’ll hopefully be coming out with it
Brings back a wave of emotion from that time... simply one of the best songs I've listened to in a long time. Keep it up Sam, and please come I Ireland and I'll pay to see you in a heartbeat!!!
Just excellent listening to these lyrics. How many young men and fellas this resonates with is unreal. Pleased with music he found his way and still enjoys a few beers with the lads.
Great lyrics. A very poor Welsh valley boy in the sixties has clicked with this song . Powerfull yet the music takes you to another happy place . Brought back memories . Keep going Sam. Best luck butt from Wales.
This was literally my teenage years, it's amaZing how many people feel the same, I still carry so much of those years with me, bad and good, literally a song for a while generation of people that grew up in this country, thank you for making this lad
I must have been living under a rock but just heard this and thought it was a song I hadn't heard from the 80s, then I googled it and I've been listening on repeat, it's amazing! There's something about it that just gets you in the guts! , i just love when a song does this for you, just brilliant, I'm a North East girl myself and proud to call Sam one of our own, love it❤️
I remember times of uncertainty, hunger, cold, pain in my bones, and still I kept on my feet, with my madness in tow, and I found in those moments some love, some company, and some light... .and I was still alive... I still am. Thank Life for this.
This young band has a great future in music history. Jim Fender is some kind of song writer. Bright future! Now the the band in whole is outstanding. The music touches one's soul and heart. Good luck in the future!!
I love it man !! A young, real song writer, that's in the main charts... Like a charts version of Gerry Cinnamon, with the raw & real setting, of the well crafted lyrics... Go on Sam la !! 🙏🏻☝🏻✊🏻🎤🎵🎶😎
Fab song. Lyrics are sensational. Takes me back to my first marriage then second. Both the same as each other. Wish I had the courage to do all that. The words ring true but for me it was the dog he kicked. Bring tears to my eyes when I hear this. The guitar playing it absolutely 💯. Love 💘 this.
Grew up with Sam’s cousin, Paul. Captures the whole essence of being 17 in shields. Tough place with tough people. Music and football. So proud this music came s from my home town and from the family who were so kind to me growing up.
Mate!!!!! At last, at bloody last. Sings in his own accent not some quasi transatlantic crap sound. Lyrics, amazing. Every working class lads experience. A cliché to say "he's singing my life" OK, cliché it is. I've not heard anything this good since elvis costello in 1977.oh,and thanks to Ken Bruce for playing it on radio two ✌️
Im 69 and this is the future of music, it happened once in '71 Rod,'76 Bruce, 2020 Sam ,bloody magic an oasis from crap manufactured Xfactor voice enhanced rubbish ,well done Sam and the band
Sang this on karaoke the other night and it was honestly one of the best nights ever....amazing how the entire crowd were singing along and just living for it...I felt close to tears lol
Wow. I'm just hearing this mans music now. Each line is a killer. Springsteen, Orbison....so many greats I can hear in his voice & he brings South Shields in like I've never heard before. Got tickets to finsbury park. Can not wait ❤
your doing newcastle proud mate, when i saw this music video i was like wait wait, this is bringing back memories, and those streets are clasic north shields
“I was too scared to hit him, but I would hit him in a heartbeat now. That’s the thing with anger it begs to stick around” growing up rough and going through stuff at school with fighting etc I really felt the truth in those lyrics!
Been a couple of weeks with this song in loop. No specific reason, or maybe the fact that I hate a customer service job I'm in right now and I def need a rebellious quote included. Sam, you're a rising star. Thanks for this tune.
Excelente Cancion .... He vuelto a sentir que tengo 17 años otra vez.... Musica de mi Generación que ahora suena en esta Nueva Generación.... Gracias por esta bella canción .... Gracias Sam Fender 🇺🇸 .... Saludos desde Peru 🙏🏻 🇵🇪
F**kin love it!!! What a song and what a talented young lad, hope fame and fortune doesn't change him, working class lad from the TOON, he deserves that path to glory👏👏💎
I heard this for the first time on Saturday on Ant & Dec's take away , best track I've heard for a long time . Such powerful lyrics , Sam I hope you there's many albums ahead for you & your band your awesome , sending love from Wales 💕
This song makes me reflect on my teenage years and childhood so much pain so much fear and resentment. The depression is still there but here's to better days ahead.
Unbelievable tune. 41 years old and I thought British music was dead. Keep it up Sam lad! This songs got the lyrics, the drums, the guitar, the sax, the lot! It's a fuckin beast of a tune!

He will help Many ..........
The lyrics are astonishing, they're so deep and personal yet relatable.
it always amazes me when music artists can talk about deep issues whilst the music is upbeat, beautiful contrast
Very relatable

HUGE Springsteen vibes
In all his music if you haven’t noticed before
Ya
First thought when I heard Sam Fender.
I agree 100% with the Springsteen vibes. Keep cranking them out Sam!

stay strong man
That's the thing with anger
It begs to stick around
So it can fleece you of your beauty
And leave you spent with nowt to offer
Makes you hurt the ones who love you
You hurt them like they're nothing
Genius lad speaking for a lot of angry young men.
Literally the biggest talent we have seen in a long time. Listening on repeat. Can relate to everything Sam says.
24 hours ago I knew this lad was a singer from Newcastle, that’s it never listened to his songs till now. This music resonates with almost every northern, working class, poor family. 👏
We are proud of the lad up here. Unlike Sting he speaks for all of us.
And Southern/Kent
NEWCASTLE REPRESENT
North Shields not Newcastle
@@mikelitorous5570 😑
Awesome sound! Fresh and vibrant. This is what the charts need these days
YES
Need more guitars back in this industry
for sure man
“That’s the thing with anger it begs to stick around, so it can fleece you of your beauty” that was deep..
"And the boy who kicked Tom's head in
Still bugs me now..
I was far too scared to hit him
But I would hit him in a heartbeat now"
"And I armed myself with a grin
'Cause I was always the f' joker
Buried in their humor

Aye, plenty of good music came out of the North East, sadly having to leave it, to do so.
God I resonate deeply with “I was far to scared to hit him, but I would hit him in a heartbeat now”, cause it reminds me of my “father”.

I hear you
:,-)
I made a similar comment on the official music video on Sam's page. When you're from an abusive background you just "get it" 👍
Knock him out pal I've done it best feeling ever hitting abuse dad loved hitting him
@@garethemmett9353 Don't lie to yourself buddy, you didn't enjoy it at all.
Finally someone who can actually write good music.
go on sam, one of the fucking best tunes i’ve heard in a long time
This is the best song I've heard this year. Can't wait for the album.
What a talent! Awesome!
@@jimcookson5189 How old is he ?..
timeless hit!
some of the best lyrics I've ever heard, almost moved me to tears

Don’t change Sam, your music is about to change the world around you ❤️
Greetings from Morocco 🇲🇦
Greetings from New Zealand 🇳🇿 😀 ❤ 😊
I'm 103 now and I can barely remember yesterday or when I last used the toilet but this song brings me right back to when I was 12....
A master wordsmith... staggeringly good lyrics! Anyone who's ever struggled to find their place in the world as a teenager will connect
Brings back a wave of emotion from that time... simply one of the best songs I've listened to in a long time. Keep it up Sam, and please come I Ireland and I'll pay to see you in a heartbeat!!!
Sam Fender so amazing. It is like Oasis when they came out. Generation music.
Awesome tune. IMO, best UK male singer songwriter since Ian Brown.
The DWP see a number , she cried on the floor encumbered, WOW! powerful lyrics
Just excellent listening to these lyrics. How many young men and fellas this resonates with is unreal.
Pleased with music he found his way and still enjoys a few beers with the lads.
This is the best song ive heard in the last 15 years by a mile!
Absolutely love this track love the fact he has kept his routes with his geordie dialect aswell class
Great lyrics. A very poor Welsh valley boy in the sixties has clicked with this song . Powerfull yet the music takes you to another happy place . Brought back memories . Keep going Sam. Best luck butt from Wales.

Beautifully written. I'm glad you are. I'm glad I am too.
I love this song, incredible how it makes me feel ❤️
Every line is a damn masterpiece, what a song
Borders was the best song of 2019 and this is the best song of 2021 (so far).
Couldn’t agree more👍🏻
The lyrics are as relavent to anyone growing in the 1980's as today, such talent
This young band has a great future in music history. Jim Fender is some kind of song writer. Bright future! Now the the band in whole is outstanding. The music touches one's soul and heart. Good luck in the future!!
The beat got me hooked and the need to understand the meaning of a great song brought me here. Greetings from down under Sam. Cheers mate 👍
One of the best songs I’ve heard in a while. In my opinion.
I'm 51 and uterlly love this song, it's been in my head all day. Thanks Sam, keep up the tunes. X
I love it man !! A young, real song writer, that's in the main charts... Like a charts version of Gerry Cinnamon, with the raw & real setting, of the well crafted lyrics... Go on Sam la !! 🙏🏻☝🏻✊🏻🎤🎵🎶😎
DWP got a number !!! NO ONE WILL GET THAT TILL IT'S THEM !!
A real musical talent has finally come along, old school if ever I heard it
I don't know if anyone thinks the same. But the Saxophone gives each song a unique style. I love how it sounds.
Past events do haunt us, very true, PTSD is real and takes many severities and forms ❤️
Fab song. Lyrics are sensational.
Takes me back to my first marriage then second. Both the same as each other.
Wish I had the courage to do all that.
The words ring true but for me it was the dog he kicked.
Bring tears to my eyes when I hear this.
The guitar playing it absolutely 💯.
Love 💘 this.
I heard this song just yesterday & got me thinking abt my own life what a talent Sam fender truly is I was once 17 & going under 👍🔥❤
The shifting gear double entendre is Ivor Novello worthy. This track has absolutely no flaws.
Love this with All my heart and soul thank u so much it gives me so much power love it ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Love the line…”I was far to scared to hit him. But I’d hit him in a heartbeat now!!…👌👌
There's a few people who I think about from my past who I regretted not hitting
me too

Sam Fender’s greatest track. So happy to hear it at the BAFTAS 2023.
I've been listening to this song so much the last few weeks. Always fires me up.
Unbelievable lyrics. Absolutely brilliant

Found this guy by accident at the age of 46, great talent. Great to see how he's making use of the saxophone, bringing it into the 21st century
