I played this with Sam at boardmasters ‘24 . This track is so relatable, I lost my mam at a young age and I always had family issues where I grew up, always envied my mates who seemed to have nothing wrong. I’ll return to this song forever. Thank you sam x ❤
That lad on the acoustic guitar is having the absolute time of his life so good to see
Not sure that acoustic is being heard much in the mix unfortunately!
the guy on keys/synth is too! i saw Sam live at The Bowery Ballroom and the synth dude is so high energy it's insane
DEANOOOO
@@barking_mad6649 It is literally the base of everything, it is so loud
Barking_Mad the song would sound empty without it and this mix perfect
when he says "no wonder you can't stand me, I can't stand me too. I can't stand me too." I felt that
yeah
Wanna talk?
@@juliafrost4967 it's just, mental illness has been kicking my ass recently. I've been feeling worse and worse, and I have no energy left to do anything, and then I feel guilty about wasting my time. I don't know what to do to get out of it and I'm scared and exhausted
@@lfkdodlzl I feel you and we are here for you if you want to speak your heart out. I´m going to listen without judgment. Maybe we can help each other out. We don't have to go through this alone :)
@@juliafrost4967 from the bottom of my heart, thank you. the same goes to you. we still have time to heal:)
Son : “dad why is my sister called Rose?”
Dad : “cos your mum loves roses”
Son : “thanks dad”
Dad : “you’re welcome Borders guitar solo”
and the saxophone part too
😂😂😂 quality
@@IamgladthatIamglad Oy, that’s my son’s name!
@@thedylanfarnumlook7687 😂😂😂 for all the right reasons
I occasionally return to this comment for an easy giggle
This lad is something special. It feels authentic and kind of classic. Guitars, bass and drums (even a sax solo) and a working class kid with a voice and something he wants to say. I'm sold.
Present day Bruce Springsteen vibes
like oasis
And live man. Live. This kid rocks.
Deanos a pure beast man that's why
When he looks up to the heavens after he says "and now she's gone.."
I totally broke inside :(
She’s deeeead
Shivers 😵
A young lad with great vocals doing great music with his amazing band. Lyrics about social media, male suicide, nuclear weapons, toxic masculinity, amongst others. DEF an artist WORTH LISTENING.
jon jon lol you old tosser.
LM AO nope, i love meat lol. I do try to eat salads twice a week tho. Thank you for caring about my eating habits 🤗
@@alexmoyers5049 have you listened to 'Friday Fighting'? I didn't mean it like he was selling out his gender, i think you don't understand what toxic masculinity means.
jon jon wtf is liberal about male suicide and social media
Tobias Phillips Notice how you’ve ignored everything else listed.
There isn't a bad track on Hypersonic Missiles.
periodt.
White privilege
Cracking album
As John McKenzie has said, White Privilege. The fact that that got on the album instead of All is on my side is mind boggling.
@@badgasaurus4211 all is on my side came out after the album did. White privilege is actually a very good song imo
This fucking guitar tone man, COME ON. Hands down best tune on the album.
i agree
Jag?
So dope. Dire Straights tone
He's unbelievably good man
This guy is the future of British music.
Correct
Saying that this year after he already had 2 number 1s is pretty funny. He already has been.
Both albums are absolutely amazing. Thanks Sam for carrying on the legacy of good old Rock 'n Roll
Don't know why, but this track just brings me to tears every time.
Me too. Clearly his cousin or someone he loved that got handed a worse hand in life, a hand that destroyed him. Sam feels guilt about that. I have similar life experiences, they hurt so bad
Think the song is about him and a childhood friend, it’s about neglect I believe x
Same, most of his songs do to be honest. Never experienced a music artist like Sam. Unreal lad
Spit of You hits me the same way. Sam's young to be tapping into emotions like he does, especially on a mass scale.
Cracking , that smile after nailing the solo and bridge.
Charlie Colgan he knows he cracked It well there like.
@Rob Sutherland so? Practice makes perfect
@Rob Sutherland I never said it was the first take, nor do I give a fuck if it was the 100th he still nailed it that time
@Rob Sutherland It doesn't have to be your first attempt in order for it to have "nailed it". You having a bad day mate?
@Rob Sutherland it is a live recording here. And he nailed it in pretty much every live performance of The Borders. He recently played it on Seth Meyers' talk show, check that one out.
When he tells that story about his mum finding a new man, and his grandmother speaking to him like an adult, and didn't take sides and didn't poison him against his dad (which is in itself is a really a powerful and personal line) Then he ends it with "Then she took those pills and now she's gone." Boom. That is song writing.
I always get chills at that line. Phenomenal song, definitely a favourite
Godmother not grandmother!
I’m just losing my mind over this song and this performance. I’d almost forgotten what it’s like to hear raw talent with something they want to say. Honestly beautiful.
Exactly . It's jus terrific and so freaking beautiful ❤️
This is amongst my favourite songs of all time. Just when you think our best music is behind us, Sam Fender turns up and changes everything. Best artist within the last 15-20 years. No contest.
Agreed. Thought I was moving into that phase of thinking the good music was behind us and then Sam turns up and becomes one of my favourite musicians ever.
No truer words can be spoken …
The man’s a fkn legend already
He’s certainly lived another life before the cesspool he’s currently occupying
There’s nobody better for sure …
This individual performance of this incredible song is my favourite piece of music ever made. There is something absolutely jaw-dropping about the passion and catharsis behind Sam's music, and I am and will always be here for it. The saxophone and guitars in this song are impeccable, Sam's performance is mind-boggling and the combination of belting instruments and intimate, personal lyrics is masterful. It's very rare that I ever comment on a youtube video, but exceptions have to be made for pieces of art as unique, honest, beautiful and life-affirming as this song is for me. Five and a half minutes will never be enough.
So brilliantly said! This performance is mind blowing and leaves me speechless . So happy you've put it into words. 🥰
SPOT ON
Agree. 100 times agree
It certainly does have that effect! Love Dean in the corner as well absolutely having the time of his life
This is the best song ever written. In my opinion.
Feeling a Bruce Springsteen vibe from this in the lyrics and the sax
Yes, a total Rip off. Brandon flowers sounds the same as this guy, both are totally shit and got nothing on bruce
Travis646 Wrong
@@Travis646 bad troll
Travis646 great attitude to have towards new music. I’m sure your original material is lot better.
@@Travis646 let's have a listen to your album then travis
There's still hope for today's music
Hahaha yup x
@@dolour we live in a world
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to music, and thanks for your sincere
Compliment and love towards my music❤️❤️may god bless you.
Bruce Sprinsteen,The Killers,Dire Straits you name them they're all in there and many more of equal musical standing,great work chaps.
My old man just passed and this song reminds me so much of him 😢
RIP POPS
Hope your OK bro 🙏
I’ve listened to this song so many times since it came out but for some reason this version really blew me away and made me well up. Good on you Sam, with talent like yours you deserve all the success in the world ❤️
This song proves that no matter what background you come from you can make it if you follow your dreams.
This is so good. Like, mind-blowingly good. The fact they're a bunch of mates having the time of their lives makes it even more special.
if you’re viewing this comment you have good taste in music
one of the best songs i've heard in the last decade.
True!
We were like brothers
Everybody said we looked the same
You a little taller and broader and bolder
We were afraid of your mother
Hell, she used to hit you so hard
And your dad took off when you were a baby
And you still hate me for my dad stuck around
You pinned me to the ground
Eight years old with a replica gun
Pushing in my skull saying
You're gonna kill me if I tell
Never did and I never will
That house was living hell
Come on
I remember my mother
When she found a new man
And your mother thought she found a partner
And father for you
No wonder you can't stand me
I can't stand me too
I can't stand me too
Oh, your godmother repaired the anger in me
Spoke to me like I was an adult
Didn't take sides and didn't turn me against my dad
Then she took those pills and now she's gone
See her in the night
There in the corner of my eye
And I see her in the night
Heard you glassed a boy back in The Borders
Some naughty family boys are after you
You pinned me to the wall and said my mother
Stole your inheritance from you
Oh yeah?
We ain't got a penny between us
Holding up this tin that we live in
You pinned me to the wall and smashed a bottle
Your eyes, the door to hell and all within
Ha
Only he can sing with an angelic voice about a low leveled serotonin lifestyle of so many of our youth and make it a tragically beautiful few minutes
And now she’s gone….Shivers
Listened to this song every day for 2 years!
Nearly 3 years now and still listen to it all the time 😆
Am always glad to receive positive comments from my lovely fans 🤍🖤 it's absolutely my pleasure bringing sweet melody to you. May God bless you 🙏🙏🙏
This is about a bloke from yetholm in the Scottish Borders. I don’t live too far away from there myself, Sam fender is a genius musician, I can’t tell you how much I love this song, it is absolutely beautiful, sexy, and his band are loving it and buzzing in their performance. This young man from North Shields is going to blow the music industry away further than he has so far. This is like an 80s band. Incredible and what a fucking guitarist!!!!! You utter legend son
iv got a question lol j.w ?
One of the best live vocals I’ve ever heard
It’s funny cause your name is I’m Sam and you posted One of the best live vocals
His name I also Sam
I’m Sam,One of the best Live Vocals
try this : czcams.com/video/eBKfy0FwUC8/video.html (birdy - wings live)
I'm blowned away at 2:54-3:13😱. His voice blends so well with the sound of the saxophone 🥰.
This music ain’t for charts. This is music is just music
Is my pleasure to bring sweet Melody to my fan ♥️ I so much appreciate the love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to music, and thanks for your sincere
Compliment and love towards my music❤️❤️may god bless you.
I just discovered him over the weekend. I’m obsessed with how real his songs are. So refreshing. What a talented guy.
Rhiana Thomas Same
He’s one of the very few artists who sounds even better live!
Very true! No autotune needed.
04:55 This saxo is my new drug. This is my favorite part of the song. That saxo sounds amazing. Every note he plays on this song Live sounds so good.
The way they kind of bounce the sax and guitar solos off each other is the best thing I've heard in music in a long time
We need a "Seventeen Going Under" and a "Last To Make It Home" Vevo Lift Session
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 got the album on repeat all day. Extra brilliant loud in the car 😘
Same xD
YESS
One of the few live performances that actually outclass the original studio song. Good work, Sam.
I'm in my late 40s and I've seen well in excess of 300 bands but never seen such energy as Sam.
I'm 60 Jonathan but I agree. I haven't quite seen 300 bands, but close to it
Arctic Monkeys Bet you look good on the dancefloor had energy to burn. As did KOL for the whole of their first album but Sam has pure talent thats for damn sure and he has hints of Bruce Springsteen,The Killers you name a top artist and they're in here but Sam style.
Catfish and the bottlemen tio
Too
definitely see Sam live if you have the chance. it's incredible.
Sam dear sam
I ve been listening to your marvelous music for the past year
Lad stay true
You deserve the best
You are no secret anymore. Keep delivering these beautiful,Bruce Springsteen-like vibes.
Lots of love from Greece,(we really need a gig here)
Take care lad
Nice message wor kid!
Great Post 👍
i aspire to be as smiley and happy as his acoustic guitar player
Recently lost my best friend/brother and find it hard to talk about every time I feel down I put this song on and it picks me up thank you
Sweet 80's vibe, after this song im convinced they will be as big as 1975
Intz51 bigger
Dont compare to the 1975 .. they are awful
@@thatbikedad8252 you're not right on this point dude! the 1975 are a great band too!
They¿
Bigger !!!!
It's as if 1975 came back again, as if Bruce put the pieces back together after finding Clarence and Max, but this time it comes fresher, clearer and when all of us born to run ,are gone, Sam and his Band will be here forever.
Said it before and I'll say it again, another belter. Springsteen sax shines through and guitar sound of "The war on drugs". Top tune 👍BIG things ahead
I abso-fucking-lutely love everything about this video: the stage, the lighting, the audio quality and even Sam's gestures. I adore how focused he is on giving a world class performance. An absolute classic and modern masterpiece!
The funny part about him looking slightly like Justin Bieber is it gives us all a chance to imagine Justin Bieber with talent.
The best song that’s been written from this generation, unbelievable, a classic has been made
Is my pleasure to bring sweet Melody to my fan ♥️ I so much appreciate the love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to music, and thanks for your sincere
Compliment and love towards my music❤️❤️may god bless you.
I think decades will pass and I'll keep listening to this song (particularly this version of this song), as I've listened to Alchemy's version of 'Sultans of Swing' or 'Tunnel of Love' for years and years.
I love Sam. It’s like living through the 80’s again with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. ❤
Love this version, the key is perfect. The Glastonbury version was also excellent,
Sam's best song. Strong vocals and band is tight. This should be his sound as he said he still didnt know what he wanted in his sound
Sam fender is here to save modern day music 🎶🤟💯
Sounds exactly the same live, I’d even say better than on records. Saw him live at Finsbury Park last weekend, the first time I have ever got emotional at a gig - so did he. I adore Sam Fender, he’s helped me through very hard times, strange I know as he doesn’t have a clue who I am haha. Great lad, great music. Can’t ask for more than that in an artist. Sam fender for life x
Same…wish he was my mate 😩
I was there, was amazing. Definitely gonna see him again
Had a few beers and I move house in the morning so the drums are shaking my fucking walls. Proud geordie
This is literally one of the most beautiful performances of a song I have ever seen/heard.
I think he's my favourite artist. It's been years since I've been able to say that anyone was this consistent with keeping me in awe.
No one around like Sam. Just love him
Can't get enough of this song. The vocals, lyrics, guitar, sax. It's perfect. I just wish he would drop an octave in the beginning of the second verse like he does on the album ("I remember my mother, when she found a new man..."
scott tisdale I’m glad he doesn’t drop an octave here - this is better than the version on the album. Hands down.
MrBigred1990 i think overall it is a better experience to hear him live, but I still stand by my comment that it is way better on the album when he drops down that octave in the second verse. It’s adds some variety that is much needed. That’s my opinion, you have yours. Have a great day.
scott tisdale fair play Scott, have a great day! Either way, a great tune 🤘🏼
MrBigred1990 amazing tune. Cannot deny that! Stay safe.
I get teary-eyed every time I hear it because this is what real music sounds like
I listen to this every day and it brings me to tears every time. One of the best songs I've ever heard.
Ah real music. I though it was dead. Cheers Sam.
The best song to come out of 2019, absolutely brilliant. Cant help but think of The Boss and the E Street band when I hear this.
The best Music to come out of the UK at the moment......by far!
He has a beautiful unique 80s voice. I usually never like voices in this age, they all sound the same - cringe, and annoying, this guy sounds so GOOD. And bonus an AMAZING GUITARIST!
Tigress I hear so much Brandon flowers
It’s a beautiful powerful force
What a gift
Totally 80's, but the good part of the 80's.
Tigress was
He sure does.
@@Vartskies I hear Annie Lennox 😀
What an amazing performance. Such a brilliant song too. What is wrong with this world is that Sam Fender's songs don't have hundreds of millions of hits. He is special.
I think about how happy the acoustic player is in this video literally on a daily basis, so wholesome!!
Is my pleasure to bring sweet Melody to my fan ♥️ I so much appreciate the love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to music, and thanks for your sincere

In my humble opinion. Sam is the best artist since Oasis. I do not say this lightly. Absolutely brilliant album.
Exactly my thoughts
Thanks for the goosebumps …
i've watched this 5 times a week since it came out
Sam Fender + Sax is the single best thing since Bread in slices.
I used to smash this live version out so much when it first came out, still sounds amazing 💥
Love this, Sam can kill it vocally when performing live whereas most can't now. Gives me faith that real music and talent isnt dead. ❤
Sam you should never lose that guy playing the acoustic guitar.
He won’t. That’s his best friend from childhood. 🤗
I cut the grass today with this on repeat through my headphones........my garden is 7000sqm. Danced all the way
This should have been the album version.

Seeing him live in March....I cant remember the last time I was so excited to see someone play live!!!
WOW!!! The youtube ad brought me here. What an awesome artist, it's really incredible. Reminds me a lot at the old Springsteen vibes. Love it!
I'm sure The Boss has this in his spotify playlist. :) awesome
As far as I am concerned, this is the best guitar solo of the modern era. (on top of a great song).
This song is brilliant. And this performance is flawless. Perfectly mixed.
Yup. The composition of instruments, vocals - everything. Sometimes the planets just align to bring about something amazing.
For once spotify ads payed off, this is the best song I've heard in such a long time.
Definitely will be seeing him live.
Can someone please go back in time to have this as the main version, boy it's good! Love the extra saxophone
Rare that the live performance is better than the record but this guy......wow wow wow wow!!!!!
This song is timeless. I keep coming back to it again and again ever since it was first released and it sounds even better live. I can’t wait for Sam’s new album next year.
This is my favourite song of Sam’s. You can feel the emotion and power in every word. That little look up he does every time he plays this after “Now she’s gone” is spine tingling. Such a talented artist
The tune is so nostalgic
its like listening to the north-eastern Bruce Springsteen and Clarence Clemons what a sound
Fuck me did not expect a solo like that, I’m damn impressed 🔥
That house was living hell. Chills man
The sax drop is just the bomb.
What's not to like? Saxophone, vocals on par with Brandon Flowers, amazing guitar tone, acoustic guitar guy amazing vibes jamming out, keyboard grooving and the drummer holding them all together just perfect!!!
Kid your gonna be up there with the stars... best track I've heard from any band in the last 3 years....such a young man to write such hearrbreaking and beautiful lyrics..sad but inspiring at the same time. Keep going kiddo coz whatever it is you got it. Look out 1975 there's a fender in town
My sister & I like to share different songs with each other, that we think the world would be different if these songs didn't exist, & this is definitely one of them.

This is stunning. The boy's going to be massive.
I absolute love this song I play it everyday it help my stress
Reminds me of Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing in the Dark” love it!!!

I love how much he always buzzes over the others playing instruments, the guy on the sax particularly. What a delicious man he is through and through!
