    now that's a proper interview. I love how responsive John is. have never seen his show before but the man definitely knows how to get the best of the guest without asking cliché questions and spitting nasty jokes. the level of comfort sam appears to have here is astonishing - as if he's talking to himself with no one there to interrupt. brilliant

    Spit of You is just incredible. It is almost like you are writing songs just for me and my life experiences. And I can only assume there are millions of people who feel the same about Sam's material. This is actual music. Actual performers making noises with instruments and mouths! Subject matter which is current, relevant and relatable to millions. I don't think a piece of music has ever affected me as much as this track.

    As an old..er dude on here, most 20 something year old artist’s lyrics don’t resonate with me. It makes sense because of different life experiences. I started listening to Sam because of some of his musical inspirations were/are mine. The thing is he transports me to a time as if I was just there. It’s relatable to a late teen and older, without being cliched, topical fluff. And his Wall of Sound on some of those tunes are delicious to hear! Hoping he gets to the States again before he’s a household name here, so I don’t have to fight for a ticket. Rock on, Sam!

Love how Sam talks about creating music. I’m not artistically gifted in any shape or form, so this process of finding lyrics and music always blows my mind. And I really feel that John truly loves (his)music. Please also talk about the deluxe edition extra songs as well, lads! I wanna know every tiny bit about it!

      He's talking about personal things, serious themes, and about struggles in life and with mental health of people close to him- I don't expect him to be full on cheery.
      I thought he was pretty normal
