Sam's instagram caption for this song explains the context: "This is one of my favourite songs on the new record, it’s a song about boys and their dads. It’s based around my own relationship with my old man, and how we both struggle as blokes to communicate the way we feel to each other without it becoming a stand off. It’s about how the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, as I get further in to my twenties i see so much of myself in him, especially when it comes to being stubborn. The second half of the song talks about seeing him with my grandma when she passed away, and how I saw him as a son, and how that moment reminded me to make the most of my time with him. If anything, it is a declaration of love for him."
so cool to see the little tune you were playing on your instagram stories transform into a masterpiece of a song. thank you for always baring your soul, we're so lucky to have such an honest and generous storyteller in you!
@ c e - I agree with you. I absolutely think he's the best thing since sliced bread . Listening to his lyrics is a cathartic experience - so therapeutic and yet a work of art - touches the soul. Like reading his autobiography. He's just BRILLIANT!
Fookin mint ayit, I remember seeing it too, instantly knew it would be the foundation of an instant classic, which to me it is. So relatable to alot of people, would kill to have song writing talent like big Sam.
I lost my dad to cancer 6 months ago and I've just found this song , it reminds me so much of growing up and struggling to communicate with my dad but in the later stages of his illness I found the courage to tell him how much I loved him and looked up to him all my life and for that I'm grateful.
I'm truly grateful for Sam and his music. In a world filled with so much garbage "'music" and "artists" that don't give a crap about deep and meaningful song writing, he's truly a shining light and a beacon of hope. I'm so excited for this new album. Best wishes Sam and thank you!
@@tonyh8965 It’s not garbage. This tune is fantastic, but I think I get where you’re coming from. It sounds like 17 Going Under… but as someone in this comment section says, it branches out nicely.
@@tonyh8965 I think you might be smoking some kinda crack, kid. lmao. why are you watching thru the video and the comments if its a Trash. lol. and its not but everyone has their "oPiNioNs"
Sam doesn't miss a shot. This song gets me so much. It's intense, intimate, moving, but above all it's deeply relatable. So proud to be your fan.. Thanks man for putting your heart and soul into music.
This song always moves me to tears. Throat gets choked up. It makes me think of my uncle who took his own life. I never met him, but growing up and seeing the harrowing sorrow reflected in my Nans eyes impacted me. She lost her son, and my Dad lost a brother. Suicide lingers through generations. The line "I can talk to anyone ,but I cant talk to you" makes me ask my Uncle Mark "who did you want to talk to but felt you couldnt in your last moment" I love you Mark
I lost my best friend to suicide 5 years ago, this song always makes me think of him, let's hope your uncle and my friend are looking out for us both from heaven
Well since we're sharing..my father was a alcoholic from the time I was born til now..I'm a decade in at 27 ..my mom is a drug addict and I'm 5 yrs in..they were terrible raising me but they did .she was 15 he was 17 I make excuses for all of us and try my best to be respectful but I find myself mirroring their emotions at times and feel/know this isn't right and it isn't me .this song hits different wen I talk to them and Iknow I'd never put them in a home ,I just wanted someone to talk to all these years and blow and beer have been my therapist...but I'm religious and I have witness gods work it will get better before I meet my family's fate...thank u for listening...thank u for talking.❤
My father had a really abusive childhood and that was the excuse everyone around me gave for why my father was abusive towards me, his eldest daughter. The best thing is for me to move out and live my life. I have a lot of healing to do, but this song somehow makes me cry and feel calmer, even if I don’t have a good relationship with my dad, I’ve always been determined to be a kinder person to my future children.
Please make sure that you do! I can relate to you and the song, so it’s imperative that we both learn how to not do the same and make something positive out of a negative! ❤️
I am a 66 yr old American woman who heard this song after my younger brother died from cancer. I am now hooked to Sam’s music. It is helping me in many ways.
Same here. I live for the times that I discover music that really moves me. Once you're introduced to great music you have enjoyment on tap for the rest of your life. Sam Fender is the real deal, I'm excited for him.
Really making me think about my folks and how life is so short! Makes you realise how much you should appreciate them whilst they're still here. Here's to family relationships that are filled with love! x
Lost my Dad last year and this song captured our relationship we talk about the weather and sport and trivial things but never the deep important things happening throughout our lives ❤
This makes me think of my dad . We started with a loving but also dysfunctional connection. Won’t go into details, but it took years for our connection to heal (as it was like a standoff). It did before he passed. This song pulled at the heartstrings. I thought about him today.
Big thank you to my daughter who introduced me to Sam's music. I'm an old man but love quality music. This is high quality. Love this Geordie Boy. Gan canny son.
Sam, it's been ages since I found a young singer/songwriter I could relate to. Your words and music made it happen and I'm so thrilled. Also as an old Springsteen fan I love how Clarence Clemons still lives through your music. Can't wait for the next album!
Well this song just destroyed me. I'm nearly halfway through this world of connecting and passing walkways and the losses begin to add up. I have my own son that carries the torch, and grandsons too. Everyday I find myself searching for some magical wisdom to protect them from the world around them and each day I find that I am learning that life doesn't make us responsible for being certain of anything. That's a burden we place on ourselves and it too often makes our torches burn a little less brighter when trying to find out where we are. But still when things are too difficult for them, I put my torch out and find their light. We can get anywhere together if we just try.
Great tune lost my dad 6yrs now, from the big C & hearing this tune makes me tear up! I always kiss his forehead & i just wished i could talk to him? Keep up the gd work u hit people souls with your words & unlifting tunes
Well my Monday mood has just flipped, I felt a crazy connection to this song, such an amazing story behind this song again, my dad passed around 5 years ago, he struggled with alcohism almost his whole life, this song described the love me and him really had no matter the negativity. The drink also effected our relationship with my gran aswell. 💙 Sam really hits inner feelings and I hope everyone else feels it too
I'm just here to say that Sam Fender is the most underappreciated artist in the UK at this moment in time. Every song is a gut wrenching, visercal experience and I'm here for every single one of them
Love so many things about Sam but his versatility is amazing.. from stadium singalong anthems like Hypersonic Missiles and 17 Going Under, to touching ballads like this, to punk rock like Aye and Howdon Aldi Death Queue, to acoustic solo Springsteen covers... and they all sound incredible. What a talent 🧡
I cant get this song out of my head, its been years since I loved a new release as much as this. People always said im a spit of my dad. I lost him just over a month ago. We had a similar relationship where he and I could never really express how much we really cared and appreciated each other. Regardless, plenty of times over the years he did get me out of the shit. Sure, there were times when i would always have a lil bitch about him not being very "encouraging" towards me and my life goals, but in comparison to alot of other people I know who never got to enjoy anything that resembled a loving relationship with their fathers, I consider myself very lucky to have had him in my life. The last time I got to see him was paying the last and only visit I was allowed(due to covid restrictions)in the ICU ward. He laid comatosed in the bed with a tube down to his throat and the last words I said to him was "Thank you for being my father"
im so proud of you, the song it's amazing i'm sobbing rn, it's just incredible the way you can talk about everything in your songs, thank you for this, i can't wait for the whole album and you need to come to mexico please
Don't have much of a relationship with me dad but still this still managed to bring is to tears. Helps makes sense of it all knowing he was once a young lad and I know he didn't have the easiest of childhoods.
I'm a 22 year old guy and there are just three beautiful songs that make me cry: 1) Telegraph Road - Dire Straits (dad's favourite song) 2) Afterglow - Chvrches 3) This song right here. I've looked back at photos of my dad when he was my age and he literally looked exactly like me. It was almost as if I was in the photos myself. I am the spitting image of my dad when he was young. We struggle to talk about our real feelings; neither of us want to share, but we both know what the other is going through and are always there for each other when the chips are really down. That's exactly what this song's about and that, combined with the nostalgic chord sequence, is just too much for me. I literally cannot help it. I also cry because I know this will be at his funeral. Such a special track. A million thank yous Sam for sharing this with us all. You're my favourite new artist and I can't think of a single track you've written that I haven't at the very least liked. Please keep sharing. We need your music.
Telling a real life story through Music is really something to me. And when it comes from a local lad, it’s even better. When Sam talks and sings about this part of the world (the north east). We as Geordie can relate with Sam. It like When Sam brought out my favourite tune and the video of Leave fast, that was very special to me, because it brought back memories of me and my grandad. (It’s Home) I just the love the start of this tune and the saxophone at end of it
I am in love with Sam at this point. Already listen to it 2 times and I'm in tears. I can relate. Despite how much my dad hurt me I wish I could talk to him. When I was around him I struggle to communicate with him and now that I'm almost 25 I wish I could talk to him and tell him I'm not mad anymore.
Me and my Dad are so alike and so stubborn that it makes for a lot of tension. His Dad abandoned him as a kid and he's never found out who he was, so in turn I don't feel like I truelly know my old man because he's always kept his guard up. Which in turn has made me angry, less so as I get older, but still I find it difficult to talk to him about anything remotely deep or meaningful. So aye this song rings true.
Definitivamente se viene otro gran álbum. Sam, tus canciones y letras son una cosa genial, sólo unos cuantos días más para el lanzamiento del álbum. Suerte!
I heard this song on Wave radio while driving through the town on a Saturday afternoon. I was mesmerised by the sound. It was a loooong looong time ago since a song had that kind of effect on me. All the other music on the radio seemed empty noise really and I wasn't even hearing it,just browsing through my thoughts, but suddenly this song came on and I started to listen. It gave me shivers!! The sound,his voice,the lyrics. What a great song :)
I've never known who my dad is and this song makes me think of him and at the same time everyone else's dad. Sam does that. Amazing songwriting, artist & Awesome song!
I admire and love Sam's music because there's always so much dimension and meaning behind it. The way he weaves his life and identity into his music is such a talent. Nothings more refreshing than music that's actually talking about something and I always find that with him 💛
The best songwriter. This speaks to me so strongly and it’s so often the words I can seem to find that you’re able to sing. Thank you Sam and all the band/team x
I keep returning to this song because of the opening guitar which is only a foretaste of the beautifully heart-driven lyrics to follow. I love this dude and what he does for contemporary artists! A phenom! Love ya Sam. A Boomer fan here in the States. 🧡
Song completely guts me, both as someone's child and and the parent of young adults. As a musician and music lover I am blown away by the vocals, and how tastefully this little novel is arranged ... the authentic heart and soul in it all. So little these days contains any of those things. 🙏
He is definitely one of the finest artists in this century! I'm a metalhead but I respect this man as much as I respect Metallica, Megadeth or my other favourite metal bands!
You set us to very intimate lyrics. You choose to share your life with us. Everyone has his own story, and sometimes it’s difficult to share with others. So thank you mate. You are an example to us. Big support from Italy ❤️ This track is blowing my mind!
Been waiting for this tune since I first heard it on instagram. Can’t explain how buzzed I was when I heard that acoustic riff open the song. Masterpiece
I've been so excited for this song since you teased it on your Insta so long ago now. It was even more stunning than I could've ever imagined. So poignant too.
Sam's instagram caption for this song explains the context:
"This is one of my favourite songs on the new record, it’s a song about boys and their dads. It’s based around my own relationship with my old man, and how we both struggle as blokes to communicate the way we feel to each other without it becoming a stand off.

STOP DROPPING SONGS OUT OF NOWHERE PLEASE MY FEELINGS
I've never heard of Sam Fender. But he's in my head now. Well done. Beautiful music and crazy amazing lyrics. Damn.
Both of his albums are filled with great songs. Beautiful music that stir your emotions, with meaningful, honest lyrics
I am a 66 yr old American woman who heard this song after my younger brother died from cancer. I am now hooked to Sam’s music. It is helping me in many ways.

The more you listen to his tracks the more you realise the meaning, 100% without a doubt one of my favourite artists
Did not know until today that I can hold my breath for almost 5 minutes.
Chaque instant est fait pour retenir son souffle devant la beauté paysage femme fleur image geste regard et. ..?..
All his lyrics are so important. To talk about this things is important and he always does it amazingly. Love this🤍
Yeah. Howden Aldi Death Queue is poetry...
@@markythompson i agree. The "get off the metro" gets me every time
That sax in the end 👌
It just ... goes through that hole in the heart
this man is a dream. that voice. those lyrics. ABSOLUTELY love him!!!! he's going places!!! BIG TIME.
Can we can an appreciation thumbs up for Tom Ungerer the bass player. All of his basslines compliment the songs beautifully - understated perfection.
Amazing
Perfectly executed song.. Im glad there are still good artists making good music
It hits me so much 😢 absolutely beautiful song and I will play it to my father when the time comes 😢
Really making me think about my folks and how life is so short! Makes you realise how much you should appreciate them whilst they're still here. Here's to family relationships that are filled with love! x
Truly :))
So sneaky, releasing a song out of nowhere!! 🤪😂
Sneaky? He is bringing out an album in two weeks. Dropping singles prior to that is part of the trick!
He also released The Borders 11 days prior to his first album
Lost my Dad last year and this song captured our relationship we talk about the weather and sport and trivial things but never the deep important things happening throughout our lives ❤
Only a matter of time before this hits millions and millions of views. Shocked its only has a few hundred thousand

Kinda thought the same! But it is a nice reminder, sort of the same feeling a leitmotiv which lead through his personal and introspective album!
@@fratuma felt like 17 again sounded about borders and hypersonic missiles s

Literally this chap doesn't write a bad song. Pure brilliance 👏
Can't get through this without welling up with tears. Beautiful.
Don't have much of a relationship with me dad but still this still managed to bring is to tears. Helps makes sense of it all knowing he was once a young lad and I know he didn't have the easiest of childhoods.
By far my favourite modern artist
I'm a 22 year old guy and there are just three beautiful songs that make me cry:
1) Telegraph Road - Dire Straits (dad's favourite song)
2) Afterglow - Chvrches
3) This song right here.
I've looked back at photos of my dad when he was my age and he literally looked exactly like me. It was almost as if I was in the photos myself. I am the spitting image of my dad when he was young.

All I can say is wow...what a tune....
Love you Joss and Jaya xx
Wow, it's a quite heavy issue here, and you treat it so delicately, I think many can relate to this song (me too). Go on Sam, you're a rocket!!
I dont know how he does it.. write the most moving, evocative songs...consistently!
Everything about this track is class. The voice, lyrics, bass and sax. Wow.
I can listen to 1000 love songs and not feel a thing but then 1 song about mum or dad will take me to my knees
Me and my little boy sing this together, gets me every time
Start filling the charts with this level of music again.
I listened to the first 3 seconds and i already loved the song. Sam, your music makes me feel better. ❤️
This song is REAL, from the heart, such a great talent. this kind of music saves lives.
Lost my old man when i was 17. 31 now and not an hour passed that he hasn't been in my thoughts. This is a proper special tune man.
Thanks Sam, my Dad died a couple of weeks ago. This hit me in the heart. ❤
I'm no fishing expert, but that fella's not going to catch much with his rod like that ANYWAY another top tune
I'll be here everyday I promise
I can talk to anyone- but not my dad ! Sucks but the mems will get me thru , and sam
I am in love with Sam at this point. Already listen to it 2 times and I'm in tears. I can relate. Despite how much my dad hurt me I wish I could talk to him. When I was around him I struggle to communicate with him and now that I'm almost 25 I wish I could talk to him and tell him I'm not mad anymore.
I know exactly how you feel
Me and my Dad are so alike and so stubborn that it makes for a lot of tension. His Dad abandoned him as a kid and he's never found out who he was, so in turn I don't feel like I truelly know my old man because he's always kept his guard up. Which in turn has made me angry, less so as I get older, but still I find it difficult to talk to him about anything remotely deep or meaningful. So aye this song rings true.
It is just crazy how good he is ..
This reminds me of a Bruce Springsteen vibes and a little bit of early Coldplay
unreal tune, already got it on repeat!
Please tour next year, the Killers gigs are back to front - they should be supporting you. Another awesome song, not put a foot wrong yet.
Well said.
This song is beautiful Sam. You're a legend 💪
My soundtrack of the year want to see him live x
Great song. Made me remember my Dad who passed away 14 years ago. Although I lost him long before. Sam is a real talent.
Day 3 of being here every day, just playing it before I drive to work to make me smile. Have a good day brothers and sisters
This song made me shed a tear out of nowhere. Such a real track. .
Definitivamente se viene otro gran álbum.
Sam, tus canciones y letras son una cosa genial, sólo unos cuantos días más para el lanzamiento del álbum.
Suerte!
This song is so lovely and real life. The music is so caring and emotional. Love the video.
This man is grossly underrated! What a tune. Cheers Sam.
Beautiful and Strong. THANK YOU!

I'm not normally into this sound.... I'm converted..👌..
It really is something else 🙌🤜🤛

Banger after banger released.
This song hits different after you deliver that kiss to his forehead.
Treasure that time you have with him.

Song completely guts me, both as someone's child and and the parent of young adults. As a musician and music lover I am blown away by the vocals, and how tastefully this little novel is arranged ... the authentic heart and soul in it all. So little these days contains any of those things. 🙏
Just awesome!!!!! A voice that works in style of music!!!!
He is definitely one of the finest artists in this century!
I'm a metalhead but I respect this man as much as I respect Metallica, Megadeth or my other favourite metal bands!
You set us to very intimate lyrics. You choose to share your life with us. Everyone has his own story, and sometimes it’s difficult to share with others. So thank you mate. You are an example to us.
Big support from Italy ❤️
This track is blowing my mind!
Love it. Happy new year everyone god bless x
I am a girl and i relate so much to this song on an epic scale. I can't wait for next week to hear the album.
I'm so glad he keeps putting stuff out he makes wanna write again
Been waiting for this tune since I first heard it on instagram. Can’t explain how buzzed I was when I heard that acoustic riff open the song. Masterpiece
Another absolute gem this. An unbelievable talent this fella
there’s something about this song that makes me feel sad but warm at the same time
What an unbelievable talent this young man has. Lyrics are absolutely amazing. Love this track!!
I've been so excited for this song since you teased it on your Insta so long ago now. It was even more stunning than I could've ever imagined. So poignant too.
