I have become obsessed with your music - I thought good songwriting and music in general was dead. Thanks for proving me wrong and injecting new life and emotional authenticity into guitar music.
Same I can't even describe what it makes me feel, had a mate who attempted before I knew him n would have done again till we met, played this with him and we cried man it was tough, such a beautufi song
There are very few things that make me truly stop in my track every time and just listen and be overcome with sadness, and the Prelude manages just that. It's so hauntingly beautiful and reminds me of a friend who we lost too soon. I think this track is an absolute masterpiece, born from a shared experience of losing someone to suicide.
Sam is certainly going go down the route of a Great British song writer/musician. just like Paul Weller,Noel Gallagher, Brian May,Johnny Marr,John Lennon and Paul McCartney. But of our generation
Sam never ceases to amaze me, such talent and vision. Beautifully done, really hits you. The writing to the song THE BORDERS plus the video shows you his talent.
Where the hell have you been ? I’ve just come across your music whilst listening to music for the last nearly 7 decades freaking brilliant ! 💜Take it from this old git you are so so good 😊 and that’s comparing you to every top band / artist that I’ve heard before and up to now .thank you for your service, and sharing your talent with us .😁 lots of love 💕 to you and everyone else out there under the sun 🌞 and stars 💫
I've fortunately never been at the receiving end of suicide or contemplated it. But I live in a city where it's common and this song just hits me so hard I can't explain it
The song deals with the topic of suicides among men, so it is a very sad Song. :( Lyrics: The anniversaries are short lived But they come back around at a breakneck speed My world spins so fast The centrifugal force keep me stuck in the middle We close our eyes Learn our pain Nobody ever could explain All the dead boys in our hometown We close our eyes Learn our pain Nobody ever could explain All the dead boys in our hometown All the dead boys in our hometown We all tussle with the black dog Some out loud and some in silence Everybody 'round here just drinks 'Cause that's our culture We close our eyes Learn our pain Nobody ever could explain All the dead boys in our hometown We close our eyes Learn our pain Nobody ever could explain All the dead boys in our hometown All the dead boys in our hometown We close our eyes Learn our pain Nobody ever could explain All the dead boys in our hometown We close our eyes Learn our pain Nobody ever could explain All the dead boys in our hometown All the dead boys in our home town All the dead boys in our home town All the dead boys in our home town All the dead boys in our home town All the dead boys in our home town All the dead boys in our home town All the dead boys in our home town All the dead boys in our home town
