‘who do you pray to? - the mini album out now: SamTompkins.lnk.to/whodoyoupr...
when i wrote this song, i always knew if i released it, i’d have to make the video special. so, with my dad’s permission and blessing i was able to tell his story and play him in this incredible music video/short film directed by the brilliant philip barantini. this was obviously terrifying for many reasons, but mainly because i didn’t wanna mess it up. thankfully, i’ve never been more proud of something in my life and the video came out just how i envisioned it. i hope you guys take the time to watch this because i really do think it’s special. being able to play my father and walk you guys through one of his darkest moments is an honour and made me feel even closer to him. i’m so glad he’s still with us and was able to watch the video and give me his blessing. he absolutely loves it as much as i do and we both along with the incredible team who helped this vision come to life, hope more than anything that you do too. hero. the song. the music video. the short film. the distant, but core memory.

So sorry for your loss Sam. This song is a wonderful tribute to your dad. 💔🫂
"Hero" (Lyrics)
Too tired to think
About me or anybody else
Breathe out and blink
This earth could swallow me and I couldn't care less
Am I ok?
I'm not really sure
Then I heard somebody say
Don't lose hope
You've got this in the bag
You know you're getting older
But live long while you can
Some turn invisible
But that's not original
Might not be invincible
But you're still a hero
Wake up and sleep
A constant cycle that I can't seem to break
See em and weep
My days are lonely and no one under understands
Am I doing ok?
I'm on my feet and hands
Then I heard somebody say
Don't lose hope
You've got this in the bag
You know you're getting older
But live long while you can
Some turn invisible
But that's not original
Might not be invincible
But you're still my hero
Don't leave us just yet
Your time ain't done
Don't take your last breath
You are so loved
Don't lose hope
You've got this in the bag
You know you're getting older
But live long while you can
Oh no
Don't lose hope
You've got this in the bag
You know you're getting older
But live long while you can
Some turn invisible
But that's not original
Might not be invincible
But you're still my hero, dad

That is beautiful tribute to your Dad Sam. There is no words which anyone can say to bring comfort to you and your family right now. I know... For me most important was that my Dad didn't had to suffer anymore. Was at peace... You did everything what you could for him please remember it!!! It was his choice and time to go, on his terms... Deeply sorry for your loss.
So glad that your dad saw this - and that you were able to be so open with one another. So sorry to hear about your dad, do make sure that you reach out to your true friends - get the support that you need (and tell them what it is you need) and allow yourself time. Much love
This had me crying a minute in, what a beautiful portrayal of your dad's story, you can tell how proud you are of eachother
This is outrageous why songs like this, a voice like this and an artist such as Sam Tompkins doesn't have subscribers in the millions! 🎤🎶🙌♥️
Incredible, thank you for sharing this
A fantastic tribute, I grew up with a parent that battled every day to keep living. Well done Sam
Playing this song for your Dad, Sorry for your loss x
My dad took his life on New year's day this year. He will always be my hero this song means so much to me I just wish he didn't lose hope.
Sam, you don't know me, but I know a little about you through your artistic work, and I share your pain. I pray for you and for your hero, who will remain so forever. He will remain with you in your heart, in your memories, in everything he gave you and that you pass on to others for him: With those we love, we have stopped talking, but it's not silence. Take care of yourself and those who remain.
There are moments in my life where I wish my little brother was still with us so i could show him something. This is one of those.
Sorry that your little brother isn't here x
♥️
I feel your pain I lost my dad to suicide in September and wish I could tell him what this song says. My heart to you and your brother 😞

ive followed you for close to 4 years now, and honestly every single song you put out i feel is made for me, there's not a single artist on this earth I connect to more than you Sam, every single song you've made is incredible, keep it up, hoping to see you live soon as I can.
Agree
Feelin so proud to have people on this earth using their talent to change something. Thank you for that.
My wife and I had my son just 7 months before I lost my dad during the pandemic to CJD. Still think about him all the time. Wish we could’ve spent more time together. Wish I could’ve told him the things I kept buried deep down. I always felt like I’d get around to it. I always wanted to say it perfectly. And I never did it in time. I hope he knew how much I loved him and that I always wanted to make him proud of me. I wish I got to hear that he was proud of me. This tribute to your dad makes me feel so happy that your dad got to hear that he’s your hero. I hope everyone listening to this song reminds themself to tell their loved ones what they mean to them. Because the thing that’s much worse than that discomfort or pain is regret.
As a Dad who battles thank you for this little ray of light. Those last few seconds broke me in a beautiful way, Love to you Sam in this terribly difficult time. Know though that this song helps others.

Here in 2024 you are such an inspiration to me bro, I relate to a lot of your songs, my name is also Sam, my dad is 79 and I am terrified of losing him, your music has got me thru so much of my past and I know it will continue to get me thru in the future. Keep going bro! I hope to see you live one day!
You did amazing with this one Sam. It was raw and vulnerable. Know that you're not just a source of music and entertainment to us. We care about you as a person. And I think you're doing great. Keep trying brother💙
oh the pain in his voice, you know he absolutely sang this with passion, addicted!
RIP JOHN TOMPKINS.. men please talk about your struggles!! Seek help. You are loved!!
Finally... An artist who sings about real, important mental health topics. If you are struggling... There is real help out there. And mental health is not a moral deficit. It is a health condition and there is real treatment for it. I have been working in mental health for over a decade and first hand seen hundreds of people get better. Don't give up hope. Make the call... Keep reaching out... Someone out there is waiting for you and ready to help you.
Check out Ren Gill too.
this made me cry, when “your dad” pulled out the picture 🥺 so much emotion in your voice and such an amazing song Sam!
I just lost my dad three days before Christmas, I showed him this song before he passed. I just miss him man, Im sorry to hear that Sam also went through this, but it means a lot that this song is here.
Beautiful.
My Dad has just celebrated his 1st year of sobriety after we were so close to losing him. I have shared this with him and made him promise me he will listen to it over and over if ever he has a bad day ❤ This should definitely get him through. Sam, Thank You. You have no idea how many people can relate to your words. 👏 You should be sooo proud. Big things are coming for you and you are SO deserving 🙌 ❤
this video is one of the most profoundly impactful visuals i have seen in a while and it fits the song just perfectly. Sam, thank you so so much for sharing not only this stunning song, but a deeply personal and tenderly shot video. i am an absolute crying wreck after watching this but this video is SO NECESSARY. thank you for always spreading mental health awareness, you are incredible ❤️
That was so emotive - I've been at breaking point / suicidal many times, and my Dad committed suicide when I was 11 and his leaving me that way affected me for many, many years in both obvious and more subtle ways.
I hope your song can reach someone/or some people who are contemplating making a permanent decision on a temporary feeling and get them to pause long enough that they can pull themselves back from that fine line crossing to eternity
Vanessa do you know Jesus? I really feel like i should reach out to you and share my testimony.
@@sharonewers3813 you're more than welcome to share your testimony but I am in a far better place now having healed my past traumas by finding the Light within me and connecting to Source (I'm spiritual rather than religious as i feel so many religions are heavily man-made and re-written for control and power which is not in my view the loving energy any God would wish for). In fact I'm writing a programme now to shine my Light to help others still struggling in the Darkness
I'm really sorry to hear about the passing of your hero, sam. This song says it all, really. Carry on making him proud.
My thoughts are with you & family ❤
Wow man... This shit hit me harder, because i dont have a father. You know, he is alive, but he never act like a father and my mother take his "hole" after divorcing. She is my true father. I wish everybody who doesnt have a father, at least have a mom or somebody else to watch your back, love you and remember you to dont lose hope. If you have a father, a good one, be grateful. Ever. And if your parents still together, be even more.
Anyway. Love from Brazil♥️🇧🇷
Sam Tompkins is a huge inspiration to me and I WILL produce a song for him one day.
This song saved my life sam. I have 3 children and I was about to end my life. Thank you x
I can't wait for this music! I have to say you are one of the person who is an hero to me, you inspire me so much!! thank you forgiving me hope!, stay safe but have fun!:))
I'm crying writing this for you today Sam, just wish I could give you a hug❤❤ R.I.P John xx
Needed this, missing my 3 year old boy. Don’t get to see him much now with my life but he is keeping me alive for them few hours a week. Thanks.
So much love for you Sam, this song hits ❤ especially hard. Just know that you are loved and cherished by many people and if we could all wrap our arms round you, we would
Hearts and hugs mate. So sorry to hear of your loss. Beautiful song
This is such a beautiful song. I love when artists yse their music and dedicate it to people that matter to them in their lives. I dont really have a relationship with either of my parents, not a healthy one anyway, but seeing this really warmed my heart
I grew up without getting tenderness from my father ..who left me a long time ago since i was a baby, but I'm very grateful to my precious mother who raised me, and I have to say she’s my true hero ❤️.. nice song man your voice is the world
My god this is so good. I can officially start 2022 now
I’m sorry Sam. I’ve lost my Mom, Dad and 3 brothers. I feel the pain your heart. Your dad lives on. Believe it.
I am so sorry Sam. I am glad you have that phone call with your dad immortalized. He loved you. I hope those words ring loudly in your heart as you grieve. Beautiful beautiful song
Beautiful comment. I can’t say it better.
Much love and healing to Sam
Sam - my heart goes out to you and your family 💔 I pray for a peace that passes all understanding. May you be surrounded by love and light in these dark hours. We love you 🙏🏻
Sam never disappoints, and he’s humble that’s the best part. I’d jump at the chance to make a song with him
Never cried to a song, ever!
Untill now 😢 great great song ❤️
I’m so sorry Sam… your Dad truly loved you… he just couldn’t be strong anymore… sending hugs 🫂 he is always a part of you… 🫶🏻🥺🫶🏻
Smashed it. I’m sure your dad, and plenty others will be so proud ✨ what a powerful and vital message x
Dude, please...Great song, it's just too real
Instantly had to come back to this song - my favourite. I’m so so sorry for your loss. ❤️
My dad lost hope. We lost him. Almost 3 years ago. I lost hope, but I survived. My life will never be the same
Yup, this one's definitely gonna be on repeat for a long time. Smashed it as always Sam, and what an incredible story to tell🙌
one of my favourite sam songs
The only "Hero" is the barber.
Finally a hair cut I can get behind that suits you perfectly.
I can’t believe how we all got that some one special that we always think every time
If it wasn’t for this amazing song , my partner wouldn’t be here . IM so glad I got to play this to him and thank you Sam for creating a song others can relate to . He thinks your amazing and because of you he has hope.
I'm waiting proudly 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥰🥰🥰
Ich freue mich so sehr auf diesen Song 😍 deine Stimme und deine Musik berühren wie kaum eine andere ♥️
Sam I'm sooo sorry for your loss...😢💔
Every song just makes me smile like I haven't in years.
Suicide doesn't stop the pain you're only moving it, lives that you're ruining. Thoughts of a world without you in it.
I can't stop crying. Thank you for telling the story of your Dad. It is so important to shine light on these dark moments. Wishing you and your family all the best.
I wish I could hug you, bro. I’m so sorry for your loss
How this doesn’t have over 5 million already I don’t know but we are lucky to have found this absolute masterpiece

Thinking of you Sam at your devastating news. Just be sure your Dad will be chering you on from ethereal sidelines and you are his proudest achievement in life 💖

His voice, the melody and lyrics are just perfect together, this video should have at least 50 million views
