Sam Roberts - Where Have All The Good People Gone?

[@migueld8970]

Miss this Canadian rock era.

[@walterostojic3661]

A great Montreal Boy!!! Pointe-Claire

[@rileydrummond8472]

One of the most under-rated artists ever.

[@ericgrimey4792]

☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼 What this guy said times 50

[@mariegriffin2365]

Rightttt This is a top ten rock band for me and they just keep going & going ❤🇨🇦❤

[@Jake_Reid]

@@ericgrimey4792 what this guy said times 100

[@PhilMante]

*underrated songs ever

[@Hubris423]

One of those bands was that if you didnt know someone who didnt already know of them you would have never heard of em on the media. had to be alive and in the car listening to the radio or at the music store browsing when they launched

[@PhilMante]

I DJ at hockey games sometimes & played this song at my Junior B's hockey camp this past weekend... because it's our responsibility to introduce classic hits to future generations.

[@Wizconsins]

Hockey game dj is sick

[@terryorr]

When I think of great Canadian musicians Sam is right at the top. Sam Robert's music is a uniting force much like the songs I listened to growing up in the 60's. There's so much hate and anger in the world today, it's easy to become indifferent, Sam has enough guts to write about stuff that matters and leaves a lasting positive message.

[@jamesslick4790]

(US) American here: Canada has ALWAYS cranked some of Rock's "bangers"! too many to list! 👍😊👍

[@nathanblades3395]

I got to admit he is absolutely my favorite musician in Canada his lyrics are so good

[@jamesslick4790]

American here. For EVER Canada has kicked some ever lovin' rock! 👍😊👍

[@KristineEstes-zq8jo]

YES ❤

[@ShnozzleShabizzle]

"The Retirement Plan" brought me here. So crazy I've never heard this song. This genre is right up my alley. Now to see if he has more stone cold grooves.

[@petercelle1796]

A.k.a. The Sam Roberts Band. So many great tunes. Entire albums are bangers.

[@petercelle1796]

Check out Taj Mahal

[@patrickgrondines-t2b]

i first heard this song on much music's big shiny tunes 8

[@nickpalframan4139]

I know I say this with bias - being a Canadian citizen who listens to radio which mandates a certain amount of Canadian musicians' airtime - but seriously, I thought this was a classic rock tune. Well, it should be considered as one (imo)! Also, I see here that it hasn't yet passed a million views. Well, it should!!

[@frederickfreakerson4550]

Nick Palfram you got your wish sir

[@TehFrenchy29]

Part of it sounding like classic rock may come from the guitar opening being very similar to The Who - The Seeker It throws me a little every time the rest of the band join in on this track when it comes on

[@childsupportrockstargaming7639]

I heard this shit on Q107

[@grabasandwich]

@@TehFrenchy29 shit, I don't think I've ever heard that song! Thanks. I guess everything really is a remix.

[@marcdemell2987]

A lot of people who are blind just do not understand Sam's message!

[@KristineEstes-zq8jo]

If you attend an outdoor venue and can see the breath of the performers, You know you're in Canada ❤

[@Skinhound]

Or you just know the outside ambient temperature is lower than that of human breath ..

[@LaPersonaNonGrata]

" I haven't made a friend in a long, long while/ they don't check my head, they check my style" So true Sam, so true !

[@jordanflintoft7207]

I always thought it was "They don't shake my hand but they chafe my style'

[@WashakadaSpirit]

+Jordan Flintoft that works too!

[@taciaamostis6473]

Hmmm, I always thought it was "They don't CHANGE my head, but they CHANGE my style". lol, think I have to go look it up now. : )

[@Michelle-ld9vj]

Lol so true 👍

[@benniehehe]

Hahaha I just wrote something to the same effect in the feed ... good lyrics

[@arricammarques1955]

Cripplingly underrated artist.

[@InversionGameStudios]

I'm always surprised Sam Roberts;s videos don't get more views. He's awesome.

[@ZaiidHamid]

He was born in the wrong era. Rock is dead!

[@jimmyslums]

Damn. Those lyrics sure ring true these days. Brilliant track.

[@ColonelFlickage]

This is actually legendary, such a talented musician

[@CreamerMusic]

🤘

[@linkbiff1054]

This is nice that Jesus is on vocals and guitar.

[@blizzardofozz99]

Sam Roberts: one of this generations great philosophers.

[@TheBluenoserboy]

Such a banger....

[@c.a.greene8395]

saw live twice with tragically hip in victoria bc, went two nights in a row and sam stole the show!!

[@joshuanichol-edwards8218]

Tragically hip is fucking great went last night lol

[@c.a.greene8395]

they are amazing, the hip, but sam roberts was better...as far as preforming live goes anyway

[@rachelnogard1866]

you need to check yourself c.a. greene

[@jpolis6133]

In Niagara this weekend! 🎉

[@Megafoot2164]

2024 and this song is still as relevant as the day it was written. Still grooving to great Canadian tunes like this. They never get old. 🇨🇦✌🏼🇨🇦✌🏼🎶🇨🇦✌🏼🇨🇦✌🏼😁

[@loricaviglia7911]

I saw this awesome band with my daughter on July 1, Cloverdale, BC, three years ago and I'm playing their music almost everyday. Nobody has the change ups like this band does. anyone with a bit of music in their bones will thrive on this Canadian, one-of-a-kind, music.Hail to the Sam Roberts band

[@non-descriptinfluence3112]

Lori Caviglia They were in Kelowna this past February and I missed it! I'm so mad at myself for missing a once in a lifetime opportunity to see my favorite Canadian Band! I really do hope they come back to BC soon!

[@TomTom-xp2jb]

@@non-descriptinfluence3112 Same here!!! Hopefully soon!!! 👻

[@lawrencejohnson4882]

I'm from b.c. and figured out today that all my favorite singers and bands came from quebec.I can start with mashmakhan,sass Jordan, april wine ,the box,sam roberts,gino vanelli,arcade fire and the list goes on.a big shout out to quebec rock.

[@mechanoid2k]

My dad used to hang out with Gino Vanelli and Aldo Nova in Verdun Montreal. I kinda wish I still lived there but all my friends are here in Alberta but I really hate it here.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Also Leonard Cohen, Frank Marino and Mahogony Rush, Luba and Danielle Duval ( who is Sam's cousin ) and many more. I agree!

[@WashakadaSpirit]

+Dwayne Wladyka Luba is under recognized. She was powerful good.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

WashakadaSpirit Luba is a great singer! I agree!

[@BN-dw9jt]

April Wine is from N.S.

[@ellysbwasisi5425]

So underrated man

[@VivekBabbar]

"Wanna leave but I've got to stay" "I haven't met a friend in a long long while, they don't check my head but they check my style" BRILLIANT.

[@bjornpittman2428]

Absolute legends. I've worked for them as a stage hand and I'd take them over any major international act any day ❤

[@MrSuperfluous1]

Where Have All The Good People Gone? They left the planet. They've all died young. Only the good do...

[@JIPALIG]

Canadian music has so much heart it makes me hair stand on end. I love my country.

[@MrNatasraed]

Miss you Gregg.. you were one of the good ones .. just wish you seen it too

[@jackpoirier2694]

If u ever have a chance to see Sam Roberts live, don't pass it up. Band never takes a night off. Two of their shows are among my top 5 ever live concert experiences.

[@marquisduhsade]

My dad still complains about how bad he was when he saw sam live

[@DeesertFox416]

Loved this song when I heard it at 15 and still love it just as much to this day. The message is even more powerful and true in 2022.

[@nukchuu1]

seen him 2 times at rock the shores in Victoria here, the second time he played he brought his 80 year old grandma out and said it was his first concert of his shed been to sooo cool. great sound great person it seems

[@AugustusFloop]

Most underrated band ever!

[@llamasarus1]

I remember around '06-'07, I was going through random music links on Wikipedia, and somehow I stumbled upon Sam Roberts. I looked him up and enjoyed what I heard. He's not very well known in the states, and mine borders Canada.

[@ruralsquirrel7545]

We need more people like Sam and the boys, top shelf all the way IMO

[@Who__Cares]

The Retirement plan movie brought me here to Sam Roberts :)

[@morgandanielle3534]

this is such a jam! i cant help but grove when i hear it :) ive always loved this song

[@DCHWTR]

My work song, built 300+ tires a night listening to this song.

[@spectra_3005]

Which brand do you work for? i build michelins. so funny to see someone else from the industry lmao

[@blica1]

The days of signing a band or artist for their artistic integrity is long gone, and almost everyone you see getting 200 million views for some video or song is because it was destined that way, and nobody gets to that point without directly knowing someone in the upper echelon of the music industry, whether it's a family member or a close personal friend, this is the way it works now.. cont..

[@canuck4utube]

Sam Roberts is amazing. Lyrics and sound.

[@mimthompson1331]

my guy lives in canada he sent me a link for this (and many other songs by other canadian artists) we have a small fllowing here in england now hopefully it will grow and canadian stars will ge or start gettingt the recognition they deserve :) keep em coming canada :)

[@MrBrownstone8881]

Canada's Pride right here!!!! VIVE LE CANADA!!!!!!!

[@Megafoot2164]

I just caught a clip of Sam live at Glen Gould studio in Toronto(2011) . Sam was playing his new album and there was one paticular song that woke me right up. I can't wait to here the new album and find that song( and its name). I hope its as good as he played it live that night.

[@justatrailer7807]

one of those songs that stick in the head for a week .

[@lawts78]

Me and my step brother stood with a small handful of others watching this in Fibbers in York, UK in 2004. We were blown away and couldn’t understand why there was hardly anyone there. Will always remember that gig. I fell in love with that album. Chris Helme from the seahorses supported them.

[@BrettRyanW]

Sam Roberts is the man! thank you for rocking

[@manderas]

I LOVE CANADA ! Feist , Arcade Fire , Sam Roberts ..... love them all !

[@fabfourdub1284]

A clever song that got so much nice musical references from all the big rock band and at the same time being totally unique song. Nice work Sam!

[@EaRlGReyTea88]

The concert was wickedly awesome!

[@boomthefist]

feels like the title is truer than ever

[@jamiecarr9341]

Was feeling this way today … an ever present feeling actually for far too long … where have all the good people gone? So I googled this question and landed here. I just don’t understand most people I come across anymore. I think access to social media and a bigger audience of “friends” has made people forget that really, in the end, we live day to day amongst a very close group of people in this world, and what we do and say and how we live either builds or tears away at these very important relationships.

[@chrisxavier3147]

This song is more fitting for now compared to when it was released

[@RJ-se9op]

really true.

[@jeffaugust8249]

I ask myself this question every day!

[@bryanjeske6856]

Montreal to Hong Kong , where have all the good people gone ??? Love this tune !!!

God Sam Roberts is so Canadian it hurts

[@ytismylife]

Amazing song

[@TheEasyBLISS]

lol I love that they purposely made the video retro and cheesy, because it's fun, and i also love the part where the stage tech runs and picks the microphone stand up!

[@christina311uss]

This is one of the first songs I remember hearing on 102.1 when I moved to Toronto. They're kind of the Canadian 311.

[@Michelle-ld9vj]

Fantastic Canadian singer 👍😊❤️🤘

[@CreamerMusic]

The guitar in this goes hard. Just recently I've noticed how incredible of a guitarist Sam Roberts has always been. Simply amazing

[@Legitafrobunny]

i remember i loved this song 7 years ago, finally found it today :)

[@alphapaw132]

Excellent performance at the Tractor Tavern last night. Which BTW included this one!

[@MyDogmatix]

I take the opportunity to wath the band everytime they're in Vancity. I also saw them at sasquatch fest. and it was the coolest thing to see so many blatant canadians soo fricken happy. they definatetly were one of my best memories of that ridiculous weekend.

[@Hoolio235]

Awesome band, sond just as good live as they do here, Gotta love Canada!

[@the_incredible_gontwitch4391]

This song captivates how I feel today. Calgary has had barely any sun the last 5 weeks (+ a snow storm) & it's driving everyone to insanity. Yeah, I'm staying home this Thanksgiving Weekend. This song makes me feel better when I try to- no, HAVE to avoid all human contact. :-)
