I always appreciate someone who doesn’t change pronouns when they sing a cover. Regardless of gender or sexuality, sing the lyrics the way they were written. Well done.

[@Sarah-oj2ix]

Catherine B i know right!!! It’s like ‘oh i do need to show everyone i’m not gay’, like who the fuck cares,

[@elg-c612]

e x a c t l y. it's just a fun king song, no ones gonna think anything of you if you don't change the pronouns 😂

[@StarMintaka]

Totally same!!!

[@Turigemo]

It's like... when someone makes a cover to be part of an album, I think it's reasonable to make changes. But when it's just a normal cover live or online, I totally agree... there's really no need to change lyrics...

[@rmi9345]

that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You should be able to interpret a song the way that you want. And if you wanna sing about a woman instead of a man, who the fuck cares?

Just recently discovered Sam Fender for myself. My god this guy is extremely good. Not been able to stop listening to his music since. 'Play God' and "Spice' are awesome. But 'Leave Fast' is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in a long, long time. Blows my mind that someone in their early 20's can write something like that.

[@Eliza-hx9ct]

Me too so glad I found him one of my favourite musicians of all time

[@christophercooper3644]

You said it can not stop listening to him next big thing amazing

[@i.need.a.new.nickname]

Its honestly amazing how it's a cover but it sounds exactly like one of his own songs. Just shows that he is who he is and he knows his style so perfectly that he can apply it to any song, no matter what style, and it still sounds like he's made it his own
