HE CAN'T WRITE A BAD SONG!!! Americans React "Sam Fender - Spit of You (Live From Fallon)"

[@ericblair9103]

The song is about Sam's relationship with his father (his parents split up when he was young). The video was filmed in the Low Lights Tavern in North Shields - where Sam was working when he was discovered by his manager (Sam had his two Brit awards made into beer pulls there). As a fellow working-class Geordie, I'm really happy that he is getting the success and recognition he deserves. Thanks for the reaction and if you want to listen to his "rockier" music, I suggest "Aye", "Howden Aldi Death Queue", "Spice", "Millennial", etc.

[@leenattrass]

I was going to write this so, what he said.

[@TheSanctuaryStoneMason]

Sam is from North Tyneside/Newcastle (Same as me.)... kind of like the Detroit of UK/England. Definitely a tough place to grow up, former industrial powerhouse, left in the wilderness. 'Spit of You' is a regional phrase/adaptation of 'spitting image ' or looking exactly like someone. Song seems to be about his relationship with his father, looking like him, being like him and not being able to talk to him. Great reaction guys.

[@AS-gx1kr]

I'm from the same part of the world a bloke in his 50s and I'm so proud that this talent has came along in the music world. Just a great song writer, who has such a bright future.

[@simonnewby1215]

How happy and cool was he with the Newcy Brown and the Toon Army emblem

[@AS-gx1kr]

@@simonnewby1215 it was great to see the NUFC flag, he's putting us on the map again musically. Been too long since the area had a major star. Last I can remember was Bryan Ferry and Sting.

[@Alexm0321]

Growing up in the North east it’s great to hear musical talent comeback from the region, it faces a lot of hardships in the past and makes for some great stories and influence for song writers and I’m so glad Sams doing so well HWTL🖤🤍

[@mattsmith5267]

I’m such a fan of Sam Fender, such a humble talent. Very underrated even here in the UK. 👍🏻

[@dbasher9974]

For the background visuals for his tour he asked for songs of people with their parents (mostly dads) and made a huge rolling collage of photos of his fans with their parents, so even more emotional. I think a lot of (particularly) young men see themselves a lot in their dad but struggle the most in talking to him. You’re often essentially one and the same but still struggle speaking to each other about important things.

[@christomizerthemizer4128]

Coming at you guys from the uk 🇬🇧. SF is a legend and in particular because he is from up north where I am from. People here have had tough working class life’s. His strums cut deep in the bones and have real meaning for many. Thanks for the great review of a local modern hero guys!!!

[@bethkempton4650]

the official music video for this song is amazing! sam plays himself and stephen graham (phenomenal british actor) plays his dad. loved this reaction tho guys - my favourite sam fender song! you should check out poundshop kardashians by him too

[@gordonmcp]

Love you guys. Best reaction vids on KZbin because you're honest and absolutely not faking it. Props!

[@marksneddon6325]

That was filmed in the Low Lights Tavern in North Shields where Sam used to work and play gigs. It’s still his local now.

[@carolinestirland3126]

As I've said you are in for a treat when you see him in New York Spencer

[@stevesmith2529]

Might have been sent in, purely down to Covid. Defo live though and yes in a pub. Canny to see how this young lad has flourished. The studio version is an absolute banger. So much going on. The RIGHT STUFF wor Sam

[@poosnip]

I cry all the time….. I thought it was just me. Every syllable has weight …. Melancholic and anger and hopeful at the same time …. The guy is a rare talent. Real .

[@Ash-gz1rr]

He's talking about his dad watching his mother (Sam's grandmother) dying. Sam is seeing and feeling his dad's emotions which are normally inaccessible, whilst acknowledging that he and his dad can't communicate with each other, and how similar he and his dad are in character. He's then thinking about how one day it will be him sitting beside his dad as his dad passes away.

[@jackyoung7097]

An excellent and accurate assessment of the lyrics and the best part of the song in my opinion. Moves me to tears. The idea of my own father dying. The lyric “No more than four stone soaked wet through” is English slang for some one who is very slight and frail and doesn’t weigh much. Normally say to a young teenager but in this case applied to his dying grandmother

[@danwill]

The songs about Sam watching his dad sitting with his grandmother while she was dying.

[@beezig]

Sam Fender is just "Getting Started" pun intended. Such a rare talent. You mentioned Oasis, have you tried watching the band that started the guitar movement in the 90s and still going stronger than ever today, the mighty Suede, some of their early stuff is Legendary and changed the music industry.

[@paulentwistle1204]

He is at Glastonbury this week.

[@Dontboder]

Honestly thank you for reacting to spit of you, what a song

[@daverutherford6401]

This lad is destined for the very top! I'm a fellow Geordie and love what he does

[@carolinestirland3126]

Another song to check out from his first album is will we talk. No sax on that one. Sounds a bit like the Strokes

[@macpac22]

As someone who is distant from his father, this song hits hard man.

[@eddiedonaghy2650]

Great Song, you should try In The Morning by The Coral

[@oufc90]

Yes to the coral! Loads of great songs. Such an underrated band

[@lamby1061]

Sam fender is so good! seeing him in 2 weeks

[@RichardWHardwick]

filmed in his favourite pub in North Shields, near Newcastle ....

[@Showboat69]

It’s about his dad … he can talk to anyone but he can’t talk to you! A northern English “spirit” you can’t talk honestly to your parents

[@mattsmith5267]

Going off on a BIG tangent, I was recently reminded of another great 80’s comedy “ The Young Ones”, an anarchic comedy about British University Students in a shared Student house. Lots of of questionable language #%%#>

[@mommaingaz]

Have a look at him in Newcastle when Brian Johnson from Ac/Dc when he comes on stage……….. unbelievable guys.

[@lamby1061]

You need to check out wolf alice. One of the best british bands in the last 10 years

[@scottfuller4369]

You should check out the opening of his Newcastle Arena show from this april. Playing his home town to 11000. dont wont to say to much about it but was a amazing night. good vid (Sam Fender - Local Hero/Will We Talk. Newcastle Arena 2022) You allso my wont to check this out (Sam Fender ‘Last To Make It Home’ (Ft : Heidi Curtis) - Trinity Centre Bristol Live 4K) sam plays the mandilin. Heidi also is his support act.

[@johnfield1349]

he's supporting Florence and the machine at MSG in September i'm travelling from UK to see that one. cant wait. Try 'aye' from Sam fender, it's an album track and it's political with x rated lyrics. Different side of sam in this one.

[@Lexrz_]

Got chance to see Sam live at begining of June, AMAZING time!

[@brianmurphy2324]

Sam and the lads in the band are amazing live, I've been to a couple of homecoming gigs in Newcastle and live on stage is amazing, you need to watch his set at Glastonbury 22. You should listen to his cover of winter song too

[@geordie-drywall]

I always understood 'spit of you' to mean like you're soo alike you're almost the spit (or DNA) of a relative. But either way it's one me favourite sam songs. Soo proud of another geordie lad making it and being reviewed by platforms like this around the globe 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍 Mint reaction lads 👌

[@leocollinge]

This is missing the saxophone volume that’s usually playing. It’s so good for the rhythm

[@Wiiggz]

The best Sam fender song. The music video is good, it’ll explain everything you need to know

[@seanirving4310]

You need to listen to a song called "Aye".....Sam Fender at his angriest

[@sukikerridge6453]

I think this is the pub where Sam worked?

[@marksneddon6325]

Yes it is. Low Lights Tavern. Great pub.

[@jamesbensley5790]

Sam fender is ace tunes

[@moononastick8628]

Oh there’s great merch!! I love Aye (he doesn’t tend to play this live) and Howdon Aldi Death Queue - some proper punk vibes. The mosh pit in the UK can get pretty lively - not sure if that’ll happen in NYC, depends how many fly out 😂👍🏻

[@mikefahey3878]

You guys should check out a British band called Wolf Alice. Mix of the cranberries, Fleetwood mac with a bit of grunge. They're fckn awesome!

[@mikefahey3878]

The second verse is so good

I'm surprised you haven't reacted to Hypersonic Missiles yet. Great song, especially live!

[@jennyboyce2028]

The confusion is that he's talking about watching his dad kiss his grandma (his dad's mom) whilst she's dying

Just a tip mate, you could do with putting the artist first in your titles. I get why you do it the way you do it. However the wya KZbin is formatted when I'm Looking through unless on pc it hard to see what the video is subjected on. Could also pull more people to the channel. Just a thought :) Love this song and the lyrics one of my favourite by him 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Can you react to Sam Ryder "Tiny Riot". He's an upcoming British talent and represented Uk in the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest and came 2nd to Ukraine.

The new Bruce Springsteen!! 👍🎸
