Reason to Believe isn't Springsteen song, it was written by Tim Hardin

[@boromir402]

Reason to believe is a Springsteen song ;) Tim Hardin song isn't the same.

[@lourouzzedo]

yes it is springsteen song from nebrasca album .....

I'm an ex serviceman, I suffer PTSD and struggling in life. I miss my twin brother in Australia, it makes me cry when I hear the borders. Like Sam I grew up in the borders, berwick upon tweed.... Ah man this man's music moves me to tears its so beautiful. ❤️

[@martyderry]

Its so refreshing to see a proper songwriter/guitarist/ singer bringing proper rocking music to the youth. This lad has restored my faith in young artists. I love springsteen and the war on drugs and this guy is heavily influenced by them both..hopefully he will go on to have a great career.

[@videolad3057]

Lol, as good as Springsteen? Get to fuck. Maybe if he keeps it up for the next 40 years he'll be in the conversation.

[@bensbakery7467]

VideoLad how long somebody is playing for doesn’t determine how good they are as an artist. if anything Sam has proved he’s a class songwriter in a shorter time

[@videolad3057]

@@bensbakery7467 Springsteen has been writing world-class music for 4 decades. Springsteen has been putting on world-class concerts for 4 decades. Springsteen has been relevant and vital for 4 decades. Same Fender has some decent tunes and can play live. Next.

[@matthewaldingtin165]

VideoLad yet the influence Fender has received from Springsteen is clear in all of his songs, of course it’s naive to assume Fenders a better songwriter already but it’s all music ffs you can conversations bout all of it lol

[@huntzyy4932]

VideoLad to be fair you’re musics really good... oh wait

[@presentationdue]

I'm gonna say it, I'm literally in love with this man.

[@hollybxoxoxo]

holy fuck he's good. like i've listened to his entire album a hundred times and watched live performances but the first ten seconds of this performance still made my jaw drop a little, i don't know if it's cause his voice is better rested or the acoustics in this space but godDAMN

[@lisadur]

"All is on my side" is one of my favourite track. I just love it.

[@leg5345]

Back here 9 months later still in f****** lockdown. Remember waiting for this to play and being so excited to see some live music

[@kazprice3211]

Same, greetings from Australia. Maybe time for an encore 🙏🏼

[@marielam1712]

All is on my side acoustic is really the most beautiful thing i've ever heard in my life, I may or may not be crying

Hi Mariela, kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6PQpHShdtipaJY

Eu te entendo... Eu também chorei 😅

I could listen to him playing that intro to the song where he’s just in his element forever

[@Kringomusic]

Nice one 👏

[@jebbingtonful]

Holy shit. It’s like I’m a year late to the best party ever. Can’t get over this level of talent. Makes me feel like I’ve wasted my whole life!!!

[@alliemarie8126]

Feeling the same way, only just found out about this kid a month ago!

[@esteban607]

Now we all need you to record The borders acoustic version.

[@guhberto8317]

Sam, you should do a whole Springsteen Acoustic album. Will be awesome!

[@andycopland3179]

I grew up on that council pop, made me chuckle.

[@BradHayes]

Perfectly normal to burst into tears right when hearing someone so talented?

[@rrzucco]

We need that version of the borders in a record!

[@missemmy3054]

Yes true! I love this song!

[@mattenright8451]

Still timeless in 2024. Outstanding. Makes rainy days in London, far away from New Zealand achievable!

[@kevinross2515]

It’s cold there and it’s hard to play with cold fingers but he nails it cos he’s a generational talent.

[@andrewknapp703]

The Borders acoustic version had me weeping.

[@Ira7x77]

I can imagine Sam snapping guitar strings alot, just the way his strumming so hard and heavy. Also, the way he tunes his guitar in every song makes me feel it's more spontaneous like he just came up with his list of songs but didn't rehearse. It shows how authentic of an artist he is. his voice... It's crystal clear and gold at the same time. I love these stripped down acoustic versions better.

[@eP1CsPiCy]

I really love how he pays homage after he sings "Now she's gone..." in The Borders. He does it on all his live performances and it really hits me in the feels every time I hear that line. Quality set from a quality artist.

This first Bruce song is magical in your voice.

[@mariemilligan1723]

When music finds you at the right time. Sitting listening to this pure soul of a voice while in Essaouira, Morocco, after receiving a call from my mam in North Shields to say my grandad is about to pass. Unable to be there across the ocean, Sam's voice transports me there in spirit. The cathartic effect of a beautiful song performed acoustically in a period we'll never forget on a day I'll never forget. Thank you, Sam. You make me proud to be a Geordie also born in North Shields.

[@Dandryds]

That acoustic intro for all on my side is the best thing I've ever seen 🖤🤍🖤🤍

[@k8like]

Can't wait for when his gigs are going to be as long and epic as Springsteen's because it's going to happen. Give me 3 hours live of this wicked fella any day of the week.

[@fromiceland]

Sam Fender is authentic. No useless faces while singing, he brings emotions thanks to his voice and his talent. I hope he is not aware he's a star. Because that's the best way to remain authentic. Covers of "Dancing in the Dark" and "Atlantic city" are amazing.

[@aidan.mp4]

It’s people like Sam Fender that make me proud to be a Geordie 🖤🤍

Pure beast I agree 🖤🤍

A song title right there

[@JoeThomas-xj9ws]

Why did his yawn sound more more musical than I’ll ever be

[@AssassinGreen]

Yawning can be a way to relax the throat as part of a warm up technique or exercise. It probably wasn't cause he was tired 😆

[@10jonchannel]

His singing technique is very similar to yawning, I believe he did it to help him sing with a lower larynx

[@SyTheSoundman]

This is just sheer class. Inspiring to all youngsters to pick up a guitar and start learning. Inspiring to all adults to pick up a guitar and start learning. Wonderful. However, learning to sing like this can result in the neighbours calling the police thinking you are drowning your cat. Leave the singing to Sam.

[@flopflopfloppy]

I’m currently learning guitar (my fingers hurt) and I can sing low and mid notes pretty well, still working on those long high notes😂 I can sing very high in key, but like mid to high is a no for now hahaha
