Spit of You is just incredible. It is almost like you are writing songs just for me and my life experiences. And I can only assume there are millions of people who feel the same about Sam's material. This is actual music. Actual performers making noises with instruments and mouths! Subject matter which is current, relevant and relatable to millions. I don't think a piece of music has ever affected me as much as this track.
now that's a proper interview. I love how responsive John is. have never seen his show before but the man definitely knows how to get the best of the guest without asking cliché questions and spitting nasty jokes. the level of comfort sam appears to have here is astonishing - as if he's talking to himself with no one there to interrupt. brilliant
Having watched the video on the first album too they have obviously known each other for a while so it makes the interview that much better but yes totally agree, great interview from both sides.
Spot on. The contrast between this and the chris moyles one(on first album) is huge!
'The Dying Light' is one of the best closures for an album I've ever heard
(When you remove the deluxe edition tracks)
I didn’t get into this guy until the start of the lockdown, cycling through empty streets and listening to Hyper Sonic Missiles. I’m so glad I got into him, he’s absolutely brilliant! 😍
Had the best drive of my life listening to this album over the weekend. Incredible.
Snap man. I had a 2 hour drive from Swansea to Bath and the new album filled the time perfectly...
Masterpiece lads, nothing less. Future classic.
Mantra on a late night drive is literal therapy
Why is no one talking about long way off? That’s my favourite track off the album
Its spit of you and last to make it home for me, those two back to back are something else man. Superb album from one of my favourite artists around right now
He's the best of his generation. A wonderful songwriter. Restored my faith in British music.
I agree! restores my faith in British music and humanity
Honestly can not put into words how much I love Sam Fender, he comes across as a genuinely sound guy who is an amazing song writer! Long Way Off has not been off since I heard it ❤️
Angel of Lothian is a fantastic song.
The best of the album if you ask me!
Completely agree, insanely catchy song.
My fav as well!
It is amazing ♥️
It’s the best 100%
What an album angel in Lothian is the best song on it what a tune
agree song blew me away. Don’t get how it wasnt on the actual album and was only on the deluxe!
MENTAL, RIGHT??? been listening to the tune here on youtube for months 'cause sam played it live like a year ago - sounds even cooler. and the harmonica????? gaaaaaaah, man. pure class
obviously one of the absolute highlights. This guitar, the harmonica, the saxophone... flawless. And emotional.
@@trapofmirrors. literally been waiting for it to come out about a year and half 🤣
Sam Fender is an amazing song writer everyone can relate to this guy no matter what age gender or ethnicity you come from he is a legend of our time
Angel of Lothian and Pretending That You're Dead are my favourites🥰
As an old..er dude on here, most 20 something year old artist’s lyrics don’t resonate with me. It makes sense because of different life experiences. I started listening to Sam because of some of his musical inspirations were/are mine. The thing is he transports me to a time as if I was just there. It’s relatable to a late teen and older, without being cliched, topical fluff. And his Wall of Sound on some of those tunes are delicious to hear! Hoping he gets to the States again before he’s a household name here, so I don’t have to fight for a ticket. Rock on, Sam!
I mean, that's what you get when you grow up in the North in general, in the UK the best lyricists have come from the North, fact.
One of the best new albums I have heard in a long time
Paradigms is favorite off the album, honestly, I think its my new number one song from Sam. Sam is real talent, can't wait for the USA tour. Much love from Chicago.
The Dyling Light is one of the most touching tracks I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. Just fantastic.
One review summed it up perfectly "punches the air and the gutts"
Probably the best album I’ve ever heard in me life
Best songwriter out there at the moment
The story of how 'Mantra' came to be written is fantastic - another layer in LA musical tales.
What a track mantra is wow
ANGEL IN LOTHIAN!!!!! Unreal piece of heart stirring music.
Seventeen Going Under is the anthem of this decade, I don't think I've gone a day without listening to it at least three times. This bloke is proper.
I keep coming back to the interview the more I listen to this album, my favourite song changes all the time, at the moment I'm transfixed on paradigms, unreeeeeeeal
I can't get "last to make it home" out of my head as of late, it's speaks to me so much. And of course I always keep going back to getting started and seventeen going under...brilliant album.
Paradigms is my fave
listening to the album alongside this interview and my love for this man is ever increasing. He just keeps getting better and better! Can't wait to see him live next year!
He’s just an amazing guy
Same here mate got 3 gigs booked already
His voice is nice listening to even when he just talks.
Paradigms is awesome, lyrics and melody are something else
have to love the Fender, always enjoy listening to him in interviews, his music is exceptional, heart felt songs, ps i have FMS and feel for your family dealing with tough events throughout Sams early years
i always feel life is a daily test, but why should we put up with it, must get this album?
I would love to just sit down in a pub and listen to these two talk for hours
What an amazing human being. Love listening to him and I always end up feeling so emotional - he speaks from the heart and soul. Music genius
This was a fantastic interview. Sam is wise beyond his years. I hope he knows it and never doubts it.
Great album, Spit of you is the best track off the album for me!
Honestly can’t get enough of this album. I love it just as much as Hypersonic. Fantastic interview, love how honest and direct Sam is
Since everyone’s saying their favourite track. Mine would be Spit of you, it resides with me and I can relate to it a lot. It’s a testament to the album that everybody is sat here naming their favourite track and why…
Love the album, would have to go for the title song because it just means so much to me. Came out when I was at a real low point and lifted me right up
Long Way Off my fave song from new album, what an album by the way.
He’s got an amazing voice and he manages to combine meaningful & moving lyrics with music that is truly thrilling. The most exciting performer & poet to emerge for many years and I look forward to more.
Such a fantastic artist. Sam Fender is really one of the top talent in existence!
I'm gonna play this album start to finish soon as this video is done... Happy happy Friday!!
Getting started might be my favorite track on the album and overall
Love dying light
The dying light, possibly best album closer of all time...
So talented !!! His music is unique 😍
Sam Fender, do you know how talented you really are?? Great interview...
Phenomenal interview yet again. Thank you to the both of you for having such an open conversation.
Spit If You is a fantasric song i think...i love the whole package , the lyrics, the accent and a great video featuring Stephen Graham too.
This has to be album of the year surely
Cracking interview, Sam is so level headed and the interviewer knows his stuff and allows Sam to speak.
The first album interview Sam&John Kennedy did 2 years ago is still my go-to-interview. I like the chemistry between the 2 of them. The really click. I could listen to them talking for hours. Love how Sam talks about creating music. I’m not artistically gifted in any shape or form, so this process of finding lyrics and music always blows my mind. And I really feel that John truly loves (his)music. Please also talk about the deluxe edition extra songs as well, lads! I wanna know every tiny bit about it!
Great interview, I love johns passion, Sam is such a joker in loads of his interviews, I love his intensity in this one, intelligent, talented guy 🙌🏻
Getting started is my upbeat song of choice, but my favourites have to be Angels of Lothian and The Dying Light.
Love this guy. Amazing musician & songwriter and by all accounts an even better human being. I am a fan for life.
Great interview. Unbelievable album, can’t get enough of Spit Of You. That song really hits home with me.
Fantastic interview
Amazing!!! Fan from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
The authenticity of this man is unreal. Great interview. Love this man.
it's amazing 💖
love this!
angel in lothian
I've said it before and I'll say it again... THE best British artist in modern day music
Dying light and getting started are my favourite
Buzzing!
Was hoping they would talk about Angel in Lothian
really proud of you ❤️
Spit of You ripped my heart out and stomped on it.... love it tho lol
This is an incredible interview
Hope he tours Australia next year!!
That would make my life!
Mantra ❤️
Aye is one of my favourites. It's such a shame he doesnt seem to play it live? Anyone know why? It's a banger!!
Long way off is amazing
this man is a genius
The Leveller best
It's my favourite off the album
If I had to pick one, ‘Better Of Me’ is the best on the album for me
Yeah, amazing song.
Absolute beauty
'Better Of Me' is just incredible.
better of me is such a tune
He's cuteeee
Poltergeists is also a great one
Can't find this on catch up on the radiox app??
power to you Sam
Genius album. It'll be as big and important as definitely maybe is today
Get you down is my fav, certain live version of angel in loathian is second
Angel in lothian
Ayeeee
im arranging the dying light on sheet music for the piano, would anyone here like the link to the sheet music once i complete it?
Yes please mate - I was just thinking about that. Would be amazing
Hi there, I would love a link if you ended up finishing this!
Time stamps would be appreciated
Spit of you is great
Longford West Meath and Roscommon? - where the three counties meet! Sharon Shannon says hi
It’s a 50/50 album …some betters on here , “last to make it home” is an absolute ballad whilst “get you down” is his best song yet !
top dude
Man listening to him explain dying light got me hard
Think you need a comma after got me,
😄
@@germancarfan360 😂
He needs to do ASMR asap
Just curious did his mum have him late on? Nurse for 40years & struggled with health when he was 17 so that would make her at least 57 then?
Not judging as I’m 40 and would have another baby tomorrow if I could ☺️
Yeah. Heard him once say he was his parents’ ‘little accident’ and they had him late!! 😊
There’s 16 songs on the album?
That’s on the deluxe he’s just talking about the standard one
What a drag to have answer these questions.....Classy Sam...the journalist needs to bleed and grow and soul in order to do a proper interview.
My mam lives across the road from your grandma
He seems depressed to me.
Completely agree
That’s just a northern thing. I can relate.
He's talking about personal things, serious themes, and about struggles in life and with mental health of people close to him- I don't expect him to be full on cheery.
I thought he was pretty normal
