#SamFender
this song makes me feel SO many things. hearing the crowd sing along in unison is so powerful. what a song, what a performance. well done, Sam.
Hello Madeline.
Ive watched this countless times and the buzz never seems to fade. Seeing and listening to all these young people having such a memorable time, its just the best.
Most sincerely
John age 68 :)
ps
I just enjoy people enjoying themselves.
@@naybobdenod I’m 50 and feel exactly the same - it’s inspiring seeing a young artist like this making and performing music as good as this.
@@timcasey5835 im 16 and im going to music college this year sam is my biggest inspiration showing me that you dont have to have meaningless materialistic shit to make something of yourself
@@raffertycasey3338 Good luck with your studies - you’ll have the time of your life - good for you :)
@@timcasey5835 I'm 50 too... and only just 'discovered' Sam (I live in Canada now). I think he and his band are one of the best things to happen to British music in some time. Truly original. I hope he can keep his head... he's a real talent. And his band are awesome too!
Sam’s gonna be the artist of our generation
his songs really are something else
couldnt agree more!!
He is the male Lana Del Rey. Which i know sounds weird considering they make such incredibly different kinds of music, but they are pretty much the only two songwriters who not only write relatable lyrics but who actually turn those relatable lyrics into brilliant pieces of music.
Well said!!
guy sam fender fans hmu 🤙
“I was far to scared to hit him, but I would hit him in a heart beat now” same hunny same. Absolute legend, I love this song and this absolute beautiful sole Sam is xx
Indeed
Soul 😜✌🏻
Best song I've heard in a long time. He's different class
I don't (fortunately) relate to that line at all, but when he sings it and you hear it sung back and see the faces of those doing so, it's impossible not to.
I’m 47 , struggling with drug addiction , my 16 year old son saw Sam at reading last night , told me this was the highlight of the set . It’s was me that told him to make sure too go see Sam fender .
This song reminds me so much of when I was young .
Going to kick this habit I’ve had enough . Next gig Sam plays I’m going to be there with my boy . Sing our hearts out . Thank you Sam Fender . A true hero . Your music connects people .
You can doit
Coming here to claim my identity as the guy in the white T-shirt who screamed ‘but I would hit him in a heartbeat now’🤣
That's the best part of the song 😭
Well done
That's the line that hits the most
Great stuff mateb😄
Hero
I came here as a man in his 50's struggling with depression and now feel like I've found a song that I've been waiting for all my life. This to me is absolute perfection.....
Music is power my friend. Hope your doing good
Well said. You're not alone, believe me. It's good to speak out.
I was born in 1967 .... I totally agree 👍🎼
You a Geordie?
Sam Fender brings me out of my depression nearly everyday once I've put him on..""I thank you so much Sam..xx
The best night of my life! U can literally see me screaming " but i would hit em in a heartbeat now" can't believe I'll have this video to always remember that night
You there on the Sat or Sunday lad?
@@uggerrugger5 saturday mate
@@TiahraThankyew noooo😂😢 I was there on Sunday. Was as awesome as that VT though for sure 👌🏻
Ah alright Jack🤣 I’m the lad in white right next to you hahaha
Loving your passion Jack.
I'm now in my 62nd year and went to my first gig as a 12 year old (Bowie). Been lucky enough to see Zeppelin,The Who,the Stones,Springsteen (30+ times) and so many more. My daughter and me will be at Wembley in April for one of Sam's gigs and I'm as excited about this as i was about any of the above.
This song is so incredible. It's not often that an artist's lyrics resonate with so many people. The song is so real and true and beautiful. Hats off to you Sam.
Having a crowd sing like that to a song you wrote has to be the greatest high a human can get.
Definitely
Finally a real artist that has something to say and does it with passion.
Seeing that young crowd singing every word and enjoying every second brings tears to my eyes.
There is still hope for music.
Hi Jacopo.
Firstly, a very Merry Xmas to you.
The sentiments within your comment mirror mine exactly especially the tears, it never fails. Our young people deserve to be happy and carefree, its what they call ` growing up `. Searching youtube for something new to listen to I fortunately dropped on `17 going under` and I'm so plzd I did as I am now an avid listener to this young talented singer/song writer.Sam Fender is a well grounded individual with huge potential.
As for me, I'm 69 tomorrow ( boxing day ) and yes, there's still plenty of hope for music :)
Sincerely
John.
Great comment Jacopo…. I completely agree. Watching this young guy and the crowd singing their hearts out fills me with hope! Amazing!
Yes... finally someone playing old school rock with an amazing story to tell. What an amazing song & performance. Best song I've heard in a long time.
This song gives me the chills. ‘I see my mother, the DWP see a number’ gets me every time.
I will die on a hill right now to say that's the best lyric anyone has written in the last few years.
Just a random boomer here. This song is an example of brilliant song writing, masterful story telling and leaves no doubt for me that live music is alwasy better!
5:07 no instrument, no lyrics but it still touches the heart so strong
fricking goosebumps
Looks like a cult with their leader
I'm seventy two. I've heard a lot rock and this dude is really outstanding! My faith is restored to the youngin's music . Keep on rockin'
I`m 55 years old and I connected with this song straight away. Absolutely brilliant and what a performance, the crowd are a part of that perfrmance,
I’m 44 and feel the same ❤
Absolutely brilliant, Sam fender speaks to people of all ages, gender, etc etc. I'm nearly 50 and love to see the kids in the audience get it, music that means something. Keep going as you are Sam, bloody amazing.
I'm older than you and I absolutely love this lad. His music is just amazing, wonderful lyrics and he's a world class singer. It's great to see a talented musician being loved by all these young lads and lasses appealing to the young of both sexes and us older ones are listening to him at home!! The thing is the types of things he writes about are relevant to young people but a lot of them are timeless themes. We've all been through what he writes about. And I'm so proud he's from the North East and doesn't mind letting his accent come over in his singing.
I'm 63 and feel exactly the same. I can remember a lot of these emotions. I still have some.
I’m 69 and feel it too. Brilliant talent is young Sam. I still remember hiding under the table with my dear mam when the rent man called and we had no money. Some things are timeless.
@@blotski Oh, yes....so it is !!!!
A new here is in town...this heartland sound is so moving...
the vibe of this concert was unbeatable. still get goosebumps now listening to the end of that. you guys deserve every success, legends x
You know you've written a transcendent song when someone from across the globe listens to an automotive podcast and the hosts, from LA, just rave about the artist as they play the song, just to share the music with their listeners. This is how a 50 year old guy in the northwest US finds Sam Fender. Then, the music takes hold and the addiction really starts. Sam, you and the fellas are going global. Lookout... It's gonna be a wild ride! You're damn right that "we did it boys, we fuckin' did it". You sure as hell did.
Found this song in Australia via Triple Js Like A Version with all-female band CAMP COPE doing an amazing version of it
The way the crowd is 100% in and Sam notices. Just beautiful. The connection when they are performing is so good. Bravo Sam.
this was the first concert i went to and it was sickkkk😭 i love how everyone continued chanting after he finished
Wait was that you in the video?
I was there too, people were still chanting outside too!
The best upcoming act to come out of the UK for a long time
What i love about this is his body language. He is a working class kid who has had it a bit rough growing up but he stuck at the thing he loves and now cant quite believe that he and his mates are DOING IT.
Well done Sam,from a working class Eastend boy.
Been going to gigs all my life and I've honestly never seen someone enjoy themselves on stage as much as Sam did - completely set the tone for everyone in that room. amazing vibes. amazing performance. 'WE DID IT BOYS!!!'
As a 47 year old ex hooligan, with a very disfunctional childhood and an everlasting love for my Mother for believing in me.. Thank you for this song Sam.
As a geordie who grew up in the toon in the 80's/90's this song and album speak to me. Truly cathartic.
Same
During my 64 years I've heard some great music from Queen to Elton John and AC/DC and many more superstars through the years . This video persuaded me to download both albums. It has the potential to be a classic of all time. The crowd interaction is immense. I am originally from Tyneside so to see this man performing with such enjoyment is inspirational. Brilliant. Well done.
im an aussie got the VYnal record as i beleive this is the most relevant record since U2 unforgetable fire
i'm sixty one going under !!
Have a watch of the Glastonbury Performance of this song this year. Absolutely insane. Unfortunately BBC have taken down the rest of the set.
A pure connection between artist and listener is such a beautiful thing
In my 42 years in this life i have never witnessed such an AMAZING BEAUTIFUL talent and more than a well needed breathe of fresh air to music than this geordie lad.goose bumps every time.OUT OF THIS WORLD SAM.
The power of lyrics and rock and roll manifesting itself in the crowd! The world needs more of this!
Bang on point mate 💯 percent correct
Love this song ❤❤❤ but I wouldn't call it rock n roll, wrong category of music
I love the sheer joy on his face at seeing all those people enjoying and singing his song!
I MADE IT!!!! I'm the black girl with blonde braids at 5:30 and other bits on the video :)) My third time seeing you Sam and by far my favourite!!
ahh i'm so jealous!!
Just a brilliant collage of vision from both off & on the stage. Have only seen something similar here in Australia with The Angels in the late 70s/early 80s. LaTrobe Uni 1979... go find.
I love the passion from the crowd on the line 'I would hit him in a heartbeat now' - probably remembering bully's that would see different people if they tried the same thing now. Love how Sam tells stories we all relate to
Bullies who'd put all kinds of raggy dolls in the reject bin.
I am a 77 year old man now but I have grown up listening to many top groups but Sam fender is in no doubt the best band I have heard
"I was far too scared to hit him, but I would hit him in a heartbeat now" just resonates so much to teenage angst and fear. I'm late 30s and this song has just caught me in the head. Terrific songwriter.
That shot from behind looking out over a crowd of 30, 000 singing the song back to him. Epic. From one Geordie to another, Sam, well done kidda...
I can't imagine how surreal that moment at 5:07 must have felt to Sam. The look on his face says it all.
It was so nice and we continued as a crowd to sing that melody during encore, musical break and people were singing it when they were leaving the venue it was such a good atmosphere
that sounds amazing
59 year old punk clash fan but this music' so new and class compered to the crap that's in the charts now awesome sound and real honest bloke with a group around him that are sound breath of fresh air deserve every thing that comes there way hope I can see them one day at ST JAMES PARK cos he deserves it
the ending is absolutely incredible. few artists these days can create that kind of energy. you're changing the world sammy boy.
At 53 I am later to most parties these days, and that's the case with Sam Fender. But, having found him, I'm obsessed! Lyrically and vocally amazing. I can't remember anyone talking to a disaffected youth in such a way since The Smiths. And if the saxophonist doesn't get to play with Bruce Springsteen at some stage, that will be a travesty. A reincarnation of Clarence Clemons!
I discovered Sam this weekend, to say my life changed is an understatement. He is going to be the artist of our generation.
"I was far too scared to hit him, but I'd hit him in a heart beat now" sung back from the audience with the same passion and intensity as you'd find in a Springsteen concert, audience and performer one entity. Great!
A song for the ages!!. I’m in my 40’s and this song rings through… heart heart heart!!!
Always gotta check a few live performances to see "ok, how good is this person really?". Amazing.
I'm 62yo & have watched this 100+ times. It really is amazing. Best song I've heard in years.
absolute chills at the end when sam said "we did it"
Me and my brother were both in agreement that this was the best gig we’ve been to. Unreal lad, keep going all the way to the top!
The song brings me back to to being 17, 24, 28, even 5 years ago (I'm 39). Powerful song, vibe, and the connection Sam has with his audience. ♥️
I can say that we were very lucky to hear him live when he and his band were the opening act for Bruce Springsteen in Rome 21.May 2023. If I close my eyes while listening to this song I "fly" to this wonderful event that will remain in my memory forever ...
What a gem. Didn't know him until he opened for The Stones last month but my 11 year old did - from FIFA - everything about Sam and his band is brilliant. So glad my kids' generation have music like this to grow up with.
Been hearing this song on the radio for a couple of months, didnt know who it was but it HIT me the first time. 60 years old, punk rocker in my teens, getting shit tossed at us, getting the remarks from peeps, getting beaten up cause we were different and stood out of the rest. dont take no shit from anybody and be who you want to be and look like you want to look like. Sam Fender you are fucking brilliant
When I was 17 I held my mother as she seized in drug withdrawal, my stepfather raging blind drunk in the room next door. It gets better. Thanks for this song.
You don’t just listen to these songs, you feel them in your bones 🖤🤍
This!
very, very good...greetings from germany from an old man who loves good music.
Feel so emotional listening to this. It feels like the soundtrack most Geordies who grew up in the 80s can relate to, a mix of Billy Elliott, hardship and Euphoria because this beautiful lad has risen from the ashes.
True sign of a class act, they sound even better live. Outstanding young man
That performance and atmosphere got me all emotional. Sam and the rest of the band must be having the times of there lives.
Can't imagine what it must feel like when the songs ends and the audience continue the harmony, as an artists that must be what it feels like to have made it.
I'm 43 and I litterally cried watching this. For various reasons hard to explain. YOUNG PEOPLE ROCK. Don't let them keep you down.
I was there that night. This makes me so so proud to be from Newcastle. What a local hero you are Sam ❤️
As a 65 Year old this man is extremely brilliant and his music will be heard all over the world
I've not been so interested in q solo artist that can play guitar and write great lyrics this much for over 15 years. From a 41 year old that grew up on oasis
And a 53 year old brought up on The Smiths.
Same. Well said!!!
He speaks to me and I’m 63. You never lose the 17-year-old sitting in the back seat of your head shouting, ‘Haway man, no!’ Mine’s not as eloquent as Sam
Same!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
same here.... im forever telling people modern music is shit lol.... ha, how wrong was I lol
4 hour round trip for this gig! Best one yet, would do the whole night again in a heartbeat ❤️
everytime this song comes on when I'm out or on the radio it's like a serotonin high instant feeling of happiness I fucking love it !
British Northern working class sensibility and musical legacy ( Sam Vendor) meets Bruce Springsteen meets The War on Drugs - and for a newly established artist that’s quite the accolade - he makes me proud to be British.
Listen carefully to the lyrics of Born in the USA (which is the exact opposite to a flag waving tribute to the US ) or Dancing in the dark or Born to Run and they all talk of the desperation and despair that growing up in depressed and poor post industrial areas can cause. With high unemployment and very little opportunities for young people to find a career and build a life of their own it’s very easy to feel defeated before you have even started.
I remember how hard it was being 17 and how the world didn’t take me seriously and how lost I was. Now looking back on it I see that I should of understood and appreciated how young I was and how much I had to look forward to but I just couldn’t.
Before I even heard the song the title ‘17 going under’ immediately resonated with me and then the rest is why I’m here writing this and why you’re reading it.
Sam Vendor flies the flag for his generation and shows how much they have to offer. The older generation are quick to dismiss them as lost behind their phones and in social media with nothing to offer and no substance but he proves how wrong they are - although I’m part of the older generation I never gave up on the younger ones of today - keep on keeping on.
I hope one day when you’re 50 (like me) a modern day Sam Vendor will move you as much as he has moved me to express myself in words.
Witness the birth here of a supernova superstar. Wales loves Sam.🏴🏴🏴😊😊😊👍
Dude can write a song, next level poet. Music is my life and when something gives me goosebumps and my eyes swell filled with tears wtf man else can you ask for in a song, unbelievable
I can’t imagine the rush of playing in front of a crowd like this. A great song, a great performer, a great audience.
I am brazilian and this song takes me back to my teenage years as well, haha, I am so happy to know that I share difficult times with so many people all out there, cool!!!! Lucky of you britons who were there at this bloody amazing gig!!!
wow the fans singing along 😍
aleluia, arrepiei
my voice is still gone from that night!! One of best concerts in a long long time
Does the professional look of this mean that there’s a live album/DVD of this show on the way? That would be fantastic!
Sam's music floods me with the feelings of childhood, growing up poor in the US, listening to Springsteen. This art hits you right where it hurts, makes you feel again and remember we are all experiencing this mystery of life together. Thank you for your work & keep going, just like the Boss.
1:06 the moment Sam realizes that he and the band are on another level.
What an abolute belter from a genius we will hopefully be hearing for many years to come
My mum got cancer when I was seventeen. I really feel that from that day my life has gone under the belt, to the point where adulthood has crushed me already.
Waited nearly two years for that gig.. what a belter night!
The joy on Sam and all the bands face is amazing!! 🙌🏽
I'm 46 and I had the pleasure and privilege to live through the 90s where we had so many great guitar based bands and I felt sorry for the yoof of today having no REAL music to listen to. But along comes this young man and I feel sorry no more. This guy has so much talent and his Songwriting skills are excellent. Sam Fender the Saviour of Rock.Get the lad a statue already.
Well said completely agree
I'm 66 so I lived it twice in the 70s and 90s. Totally agree.
Goose bumps every time and I'm 38.....those kids are loving life xxxx
Ain’t it funny how music can turn your day upside down..... Sam you make me proud to be British mate.
As someone who grew up in the '80s and '90s, Sam Fender (and his young audience) are inspiring. I hope this heralds the return of real, raw music and gigs.
This song will live for ever
This was the best gig of my life
As a valley boy that grew up during the miners strikes and mine closures... By fuck this strikes home... Top lad this one!!
smashing it! built different!
Shut up
Smashing it indeed bro👊
It's one of the best songs of this year, I love it
This is just incredible! Tears in my eyes! You can see the pure passion in them all! Fantastic job, Sam
I was there !!!! It was incredible he was so chuffed with everyone singing back at him ❤️
Absolutely love Sam Fender. This song is definitely his Born to Run.
Single of the fucking decade Sam u absolute legend
It makes me so happy to see young people enjoying themselves after the shitty couple of years they’ve had…..should be the best years of their lives and they’ve had to put them on hold.
Still obsessed with this clip. Have watched it 100+. It is just fascinating watching the action both on & off the stage. Thank you Sam.
Restores my faith in music ❤❤❤
It’s like sir Bobby sent down a special angel to look after us all. Love you Sam. North Shields number 1
We Love Sam Fender !! from Korea~
Amazing, I love it
Tengo 43 años....soy de una pequeña ciudad al oeste de Argentina y durante estos 3 últimos años la musica de Sam Fender musicalizo muchisimas horas de mi vida. Este tema se convirtio en uno de mis favoritos. Ojala pueda presenciar en vivo algun concierto pronto. Saludos!!!.
Maldives 🤣🤣🤣
This is a modern classic. The lyrics to a lot of this song could have been me as a lad, and I'm 44 now. I think that's why so many people love it, because it talks about them and what they went through. That's what music does, it connects us, and Sam's a natural at it. I love his music, great to see such a talent coming through and getting success he deserves.
Honest songwriting from the heart. He means it when he sings it, that's the difference people have been yearning for.
generally one of the most magical nights of my life
Sensacional!!!
amazing♥
