[@pleasuresofthedamned5245]

See how people respond to a proper tune crafted by a talented musician. Beautiful stuff

[@jimi272]

Yeah, and no autotune Bullshit😅🙏

Awesome song!! Great lyrics! Makes me shed tears of joy. And I'm in my mid 60s! Rock & Roll will never die!!!

[@oliversplace263]

This song is a stone cold masterpiece.

[@missKC19]

Wow! To have an audience sing along like that! What a buzz! What a song! What a voice! Love him singing with his accent!

[@garethfoster4830]

'But I would hit him in a heartbeat now' great lyric which alot of people can relate to. Older you get the wiser you become. 43 year old ex raver and rocker. Top tune,top lad.

[@dripsa]

who do you want to hit bro?

[@andrewtregoning]

its the following lines that do it for me. lads a genius straight up

[@NellyGandhella]

​@@andrewtregoninghe's literally a knockoff Bruce Springsteen lmao 🤣 imagine thinking he's a genius hahah 😂

[@dxnaldsxn1446]

@@NellyGandhellabet you’re fun at parties mate. If that’s the case, AM are a rip off strokes, reytons are a rip off AM, interpol and joy division the list could really go on. He was heavily influenced by Bruce and he’s openly said that. Nothing wrong with it. Don’t hate the player hate the game buddy. You will find this with every single band. No band has no influence from the past.

[@davidraymond5033]

​@@dxnaldsxn1446 It is a daft thing to say. That's kinda how all artists get going. They are inspired by those before. Some people just want to watch the world burn sadly.

[@Millennial_Mike]

This song gets better and better the more you invest in it.

[@TeoBeautysoft]

I wish I was 20 years old today. I really hope Sam can keep it up, keeping the wave going won't be easy but he is one of the truest talents of the last 20 years. Real music.

[@ryanniv1851]

One of the best songs ever. Seeing this live is an experience

Will Be 72 next May - first gig was 69 - Stones - Free gig in Hyde Park… so seen a few gigs / concerts in my time - but last Friday at long last getting to see the Bonnie lad North Shields was up there with the very best … perfectly executed and sounding even better his recordings - great crowd & atmosphere on the night … long may you continue Sam - your already a Geordie & National Treasure 🖤🤍

[@kieranholland8235]

"Luck came and died round here" This guy understands how it feels to be 17 years old. Not quite a boy nor a man. Caught in-between two stages of life. Great track. Brilliant crowd participation too. 🇮🇪🇪🇺

[@Barguul]

love the riff on the scale he does on old man at 2:38

[@therealautist]

I was here and I'm telling you nothing can justify the brilliance in Sam's performance, every time I hear this it gives me the same chills I received when I was there. Thank you Sam ❤

[@AdamSmith-kb7kt]

It sucks how under appreciated this gem of a human is in America right now… wake up, he’s the voice of a generation!!!

[@El-Tel63-Terry.]

Trouble is... America heard this year's ago, it was Bruce Springsteen, who this kid copies very well.

[@staytrue5307]

​@@El-Tel63-Terry.🙄 You probably like rap where they all copy each other. Bruce is one of Sam's idol's but don't say Sam copied him because he has a similar style. You could say that about any music or movies. Such a simple way of thinking. Congratulations 🙄

[@El-Tel63-Terry.]

​@staytrue5307 Do shut up, you are probably just a kid, it's all been done before. Fender unashamedly rips off Springsteen, he's his idol. Rap music... 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Samuel from sam, correct?

[@gusoneill6412]

The difference between an artist like Sam Fender and one like Jack Antonoff is that Sam honors his idols while also adding something new. Antonoff just rips off Bruce Springsteen with soulless imitation. This song - while certainly paying tribute to Springsteen - has its own sound and its own soul. Great track.
