- on the 13th november, my lovely dad took his own life. it’s been so hard to really put into words how devastating that truly is. i had this show coming up. my biggest show ever. 5,000 people all for me, but it felt so horrible knowing he wasn’t gonna see it. I felt this song would be the perfect tribute. There is a lot of emotion, so it’s not a perfect vocal, but i wouldn’t change it for the world. Be safe and talk to each other about you feel. It really goes a long way. Sending love and thank you for all the support in this difficult time.

What a beautiful tribute to your Dad, Sam. I know he’s watching over you and is SO proud of you.
This was incredible to watch live and to see you smashed it and kept it highly professional is incredible. You really are one of a kind Sam and we all love you. It was a pleasure to meet you ❤️
The whole evening was special, but this was something else. You could feel the love in the room, hopefully Sam felt it too.
oh my sam.. I lost my brother the same way 6 years ago when he was 21 and me 20. I still miss him so much. I'm rooting for you every step of the way. I'll be here
Being there that night was an absolute honour! Thank you Sam 🩵 🥪
I’m already tearing up….bawling 😢. You are so brave. Good for you. What a beautiful tribute to your dear dad. 🙏
What a beautiful, important song. Your performance was so good, heartfelt emotion and you held it together - you honoured the song and you honoured your Dad. (And I was in a complete mess just watching it). Well done, Sam - sending you love & condolences.

Aww Sam, I lost my brother to suicide(24yo), I said the same thing at his funeral.
Their is a great sense of loss, but knowing they have peace, does help.
Keep succeeding. Much love from Melbourne Australia. 🙏 🌏 💙
This song goes out to my dad as he passed away the 31st of July
A beautiful tribute. I'm sorry he left. I'm glad his struggle is over. I'm glad he saw you succeed at your dream, I'm sure it meant a lot
Hey Sam. The algorithm brought this video to me. I didn’t know who you were, sorry!, but I do now ❤ I’m truly sorry about your dad. You honored him beautifully here. I’m certain you were loud enough for him to hear. Can’t wait to explore more of your music but wanted to make sure to stop in and send some extra love, light and peace of heart and mind your way. Peace Brother.
Welcome to Sam's music. Knowing that you enjoyed this live, I guarantee you'll adore his catalogue.
Much❤
So sorry about your dad. It's wonderful of you to just be glad he's out of pain. Just a few yrs ago I was in a coma after an attempt and coming back from that is the hardest thing I've had to do.
you did us and your dad so proud! This made me so emotional but I was also so glad to have been apart of this special moment with you ☁️ we love you Sam 🤍
This has inspired me so much. Sam you have changed my life and helped in ways more than you could ever imagine. Even when at times I felt like I had nothing, I had you. And for me that was enough. Thank you for being you.
i’m so glad you posted a video of this - so powerful. a huge well done for getting through this emotional moment 🩷🩷

Hey Sam!!! It gives me a lot of joy seeing you on here again 😊 Much love!! I know what it's like tolose someone too early.

Oh man.....a beautiful tribute, perfectly executed! It was an absolute honour and privilege to be in that room, you could hear a pin drop, I felt everyone was just in awe, raw and vulnerable and yet amazingly you were so strong! you did it Sam, it was amazing thank you. Nobody would have blamed you if you cancelled but I think you knew it was as important for you to do it as much as your dad would want you to.....not easy, you did an amazing job and it did feel it was just you and dad - much love and keep flying high young man, you have the formula 100%

This song meant so much to me when my grandad was fighting for his life, we lost him in June of this year and the song now has so much more meaning to me. Your hero will forever be proud of you and like you said he now has the best seat in the house for every single performance.
Incredible man. He’ll be so proud 💜
So beautiful Sam...he must be so proud of you ❤️🩹
Sam. I'm a father who struggles with depression. I just found your music tonight. The first words I heard you sing were, "Tell me why, they say that grown men can't cry" and now here I am a couple hours later crying thinking about my little one growing up and how much bigger life is than just right here, right now.. I haven't cried like this in years.. Thank you so much.
Mad respect, brother!
❤
Wooow🥺Toronto was so sick🇨🇦but i can’t imagine how special this one was🖤
Top quality as always.
Made your dad proud ♥️
so very sorry for your loss. Beautiful song.
I am very glad that you uploaded this, I wasn't able to come to this one but I have come to all your other London shows and this is the absolute best rendition of this song you have released and I am so grateful for it as I have my own personal experience with the message of the song. I hope you can come to terms with everything and wish you the best, Your music has brought me a lot of joy over the years!

Get it Sam!
Loved Sam!
Well more than 5.000 are by your side... believe me!
And we would all like to give you a hug!...
Be strong, look for someone very close to you who can physically give you that hug on behalf of all of us!...
P.S. He will always be your hero... he knows it... and you know it!
😭❤
Wow Sam 💔 Raw & beautiful. RIP Dad x
He is at peace now as is your heart with his struggles. Bless you, what a touching & brave performance. Love & respect always xxx
This was amazing to watch live. I have so much respect for you doing all you did that night while also facing your own battle. Thank you for still perfoming and for giving us, and your dad the best show!
Whoever wasn't touched by this young man's voice needs a new heart...this was absolutely heartbreaking ly beautiful...I'm sure your father is watching over you..I'm positive he 100% is beaming with proud for his son..don't ever stop writing..when your in the deepest darkest pain out comes the most purest sound you have..an oddly enough the most incredible song writers are in turmoil... as fans we get to hear the rawness of your .music..no matter how private the struggles are/was...we benefit..just think of how many lives he's saving because he wrote this song..
If you or someone you know is harming themselves, or acting suicidal please don't ever hesitate to get help for yourself or for your friend..taking your own life isn't the answer..you'll have bad days along with the good.. you will hurt so many ppl..
You are loved
You are good enough
You are strong
You are beautiful
You are exactly how God wanted you to be..he won't hand you anything you can't handle when your feeling down and depressed have a open conversation with God...he won't ever abandon you..he will guild you to where you should be...he doesn't do anything or anyone by accident everything has a purpose including you.. he loves you more than you'll ever know..
Simply beautiful, Sam 🙏

My dad attempted taking his life over thanksgiving weekend . It was our first thanksgiving together since I was 4 … luckily he failed but .. yeah , this hit hard . ❤
👌👌👌👌
My little brother took his own life in 2020 at the age of 28. I cried through this whole song, feeling your pain. Thank you for your vulnerability, but know you aren't alone... just as you made me feel not alone.
Thank you for allowing those of us so far away, ( South Australia ), to share this incredibly moving moment with you.
My love and respect for you not just as a performer but as an incredibly humble, sincere, courageous man has grown with every performance I see. I wish your Dad the peace he so wanted and I hope you find solace in your memories and your music. Much love ❤️❤️
So brave to do this 🎉🎉
I got chills when Sam asked for the house lights to come on. Loving you and your music, Sam ✌️💙🎵
God Bless you, my brother. That was sadly beautiful yet powerful. 🙏💞👏👏😢

I lost my dad too, 10 months ago to Alzheimer’s. This year was one of my toughest ever, so
I really, really wanted to go to your concert in the Netherlands this weekend. But if it wasn’t enough already, I’m in bed for 3 months now because of a severe back surgery!
It made me so sad I couldn’t see you, but with this video you brought me smiles ánd tears. So thank you for this beautiful and emotional performance!!! Thank you for your amazing voice and for just being you!
And Sam, your dad couldn’t be more proud of you!!! As are we ❤️🫶🏼
So sorry for the loss of your father. I pray he's at peace.
Sending 🫂
And a speedy recovery from your surgery. Take care❤
