Sampha honestly deserves everything good that comes his way career-wise. Such a talented guy.

[@yannikessex1384]

@Taneeta Baylor check out his album dual🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@bruhbruh1221]

If you listen closely every time he says "I swear they smell the blood on me" in the background you can hear "them" singing louder and louder and the last time he says it and sings with them I think hes accepting what they're talking about.

[@mantaanafm]

This song is about the Illuminati trying to get him. But his voice and the vibe got everyone not focusing on the words

[@reddithsh]

@@mantaanafm Funny that you say that! I was trying to focus on the words but it was hard! I felt overwhelmed, but in a good way. Very deep.

[@thaphenom5814]

Ive always loved this song, came back across it right now and couldn’t help but think about the Ryan Garcia Situation. And I can just picture him and Ryan going through something similar.. if you think about it Sampha should’ve blown up a million times more than he has... And he didn’t drop another album after this till just a few months ago. Like he didn’t want to accept what they were offering imo

[@martinflores2039]

But he deffo on the club too...

[@UGJaelRose]

This is one of the most powerful songs of 2016. Good to see Sampha killing the solo game

[@futureheroes6231]

fuck what anybody says this shit is dope as fuck. visuals + sounds on point

[@Sky_Hiii]

🙌🏽

[@ks.b4552]

Totally agree dude!

[@brandonmcsorley9579]

Future Heroes I don't know how anyone could say anything bad about this song....musical perfection.

[@kiabaker8006]

lol

[@P-10.00]

he would go on exercises prior to recording this track so that his vocals would naturally sound out of breath & exhausted, as though he’s just woken from his nightmares & describing them back to us. Super dope!

[@SASUSERNAME]

"It's hard to tell what he's saying" It's very easy and clear

[@chriscurtis5883]

SPINMASTAFLEX fr huh

[@Evitaschannel]

SPINMASTAFLEX I am not a native speaker, so it is kinda though to understand some things apart from the chorus.

[@eduardomg]

EvitalovesThings I am not a native speaker too and i can perfectly understand what is he saying lol

[@Evitaschannel]

WOW how CRAZY! IT'S almost like people who are DIFFERENT from different languages can UNDERSTAND things DIFFERENTLY!!!!!!!!! How not SPECIAL you are!!!!!!!!!!

[@adrianrios738]

EvitalovesThings No need to belittle him

[@thebluebeyond2329]

It hurts to see his craft being so slept on like this. Music that moves people is hidden away by all forms of media but the Garbage songs are praised for having impact on people.

[@crystalvengeance2862]

His voice is so beautiful, I wish he was on every song

[@bootsiemon]

I had a shit job as a line cook and i also had to close the kitchen and mop the floors, but honestly most days, even tired as fuck, i would have a drink and put this shit on while i was closing and it made it really enjoyable

[@christopherveasley9325]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@VickHushpuppy215]

Whenever I’m feeling paranoid or gotta go do some shit that requires bravery at the highest level I put on my sampha playlist & I can deal with ANYTHING

[@derrickwilliams7123]

He deserves much more..his talents are seemingly endless..But should he be displayed like everyone else?..another U.K. jewel!..

[@TheIngoBeck]

Saw him play in Mesa, Arizona last night. One of, if not the SINGLE best, male vocalists I've ever heard in person. My wife was like,"How is this guy not huge yet?" Very much enjoyed his set.

This type of music is not for everyone, clearly. And I respect that. But as not only a fan of music, I thoroughly enjoyed this as a fan of art as well. Much love and best wishes to Sampha. Very talented and going to be very big one day I predict.

[@samuelcottman8594]

Perfectly put this is what I define as purely art. Great visuals and great music yet, this kind of music is not for everybody

[@olliedawizard]

Sampha is a special one in a kind artist. So excited new music is coming after like 6 years lol.

[@UGJaelRose]

This shit sound like personal demons. addictions or anything else we feel we can't control

[@k00kykad0s5]

I think it's a metaphor for running away from like fear, sadness, e.t.c

[@Real_Question_Marked]

Jael Rose really because all I heard was how KZbin trending spots are being bought and paid for, this is #4 on it's own? Okay. Suuuure. What happened to real music of the 60's-early 90's? The young generation just hears anything and lops it up. This dude is being put on and all you sheeple gobbling it up like the good consumers you are. Holy shit demand some talent, or at least demand some self respect.

[@troy8420]

How is this not real music? How is he not a great singer? How are these lyrics not heartfelt? How is the production not poignant and threatening? The old generation just writes off anything post-Nirvana.

[@drewinsects]

+Nick Reed this is really good music wtf are you talking about? honey, anyone who uses the term "sheeple" need to go love themselves

[@stjarne6802]

+Nick Reed ever heard of opinions? yeah. people have different opinions on different music. people are ALLOWED to like the music they want to listen to. who cares if its "real" or not. you can go and listen to your 60's - early 90's music while we listen to our own. you may not recognize this as talent yourself, but damn, lots of people besides you do.

[@ogcakelord7572]

This swear this song is so slept on man. I swear they smell on me!! 😩

Just for me Sampha LYRICS Ay, oh, I am, ay, oh, I Grey hoodies, they cover their heads I can't see their faces I can't see, see, see, see, see They're near me Look, sweat on my head My heart's thumpin', drummin' No need, no need to take from me Don't throw the paint on me I see this lake formin' I got lost astray In this forest runnin' away I slip up, I'm on the edge now They see me, and I nearly I nearly lose my grip, but you held on to me And you shake me, and tell me that I'm okay, but I swear they smell the blood on me I hear them coming for me I swear they smell the blood on me I hear them coming for me, for me I wake up and the sky is blood red I'm still heavy breathin' Felt so much more than dreamin' I get up, they're at the edge of my bed Yeah, how did they find me, find me? They said there's somethin' bleedin' in me Somethin' screamin' in me Somethin' buried deep beneath Well I need to, need to get away So I get it, steal this get-away And I accelerate, and I accelerate But my gears got stuck I'm on this road now I'm so alone now, swervin' out of control now And I crash the whip And this tree flew through me Arms out, you pull me And wipe my wounds clean I swear they smell the blood on me I hear them coming for me I swear they smell the blood on me I hear them coming for me, for me Ay, oh, I am, ay, oh, I am I swear they smell the blood on me I hear them coming for me I swear they smell the blood on me I hear them coming for me, for me, yeah

I remember listening to this ages ago and it had barely any views. Glad to see I returned to see 4M. Deserved. EDIT: Checking SocialBlade, 3M views were gained in March 2021. I've googled everywhere to see where this was featured? Movie? TV? Something like that? Why a HUGE gain that month and back to a normal?

Song makes me want to run to freedom idk why I just feel like my spirit is a caged animal that was born to run free this world is fked up in so many ways that keep us marginalized and I’m tied of it .Godbless everyone 🙏🏿🤞🏿🖤

[@BritneyWaldron]

DOPE Sampha! Pure genius

[@AlexanderEmmanual]

Can anyone explain the symbolism in this video? EDIT: Excerpt from Dec 2016 interview by Complex: "Blood on Me,” a single from Process, is an account of a vivid chase, a dream where you need to run but your legs are useless. Sampha punctuates each line of the song with stuttered gasps, as if he can’t catch his breath, no matter how hard he tries:"

[@AlexanderEmmanual]

Get some sleep Joseph

[@paolodestigter5802]

+joseph so are you good?

[@dgholstein]

I don't know what he intended, but the song and the visuals are about fear, to me. Before seeing the video, I thought it was fear, "they smell the blood on me". After seeing the video, I can say it evokes my nightmares from times I was most fearful.

[@sergiochavez-garcia6956]

I agree with you bro nice thinking and also have a nice day

[@simbelmyna]

In the beginning, about 4 seconds into the song if you listen carefully you can hear footsteps of a runner. This, I think, was probably a motive for the part where Sampha is running on track and adds up to the fear he's feeling. After that he wakes up. I'd say time is pretty relative in the song. One moment he is running away, the other he is awake in the different time dimension. Maybe Sampha is afraid of passage of time?

[@annessasherineaziz2339]

Music like this motivates me so much. So pure and without ruin.
