Sam Fender - The Borders (Live) | Vevo LIFT 

Son : “dad why is my sister called Rose?” Dad : “cos your mum loves roses” Son : “thanks dad” Dad : “you’re welcome Borders guitar solo”

There isn't a bad track on Hypersonic Missiles.

That lad on the acoustic guitar is having the absolute time of his life so good to see

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.

I’m male and I just got impregnated

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 ❤

This fucking guitar tone man, COME ON. Hands down best tune on the album.

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

When he looks up to the heavens after he says "and now she's gone.."

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.

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’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 ❤️

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.

Don't know why, but this track just brings me to tears every time.

Feeling a Bruce Springsteen vibe from this in the lyrics and the sax

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!

The funny part about him looking slightly like Justin Bieber is it gives us all a chance to imagine Justin Bieber with talent.

Cracking , that smile after nailing the solo and bridge.

"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. Well we ain't, we ain't got a penny between wuh. Holding up this tin that we live in. You pinned me to the wall and smashed the bottle, your eyes a door to hell and all within."

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

Both albums are absolutely amazing. Thanks Sam for carrying on the legacy of good old Rock 'n Roll

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.

Sam fender got me through the death of my younger brother.

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

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 got the album on repeat all day. Extra brilliant loud in the car 😘

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

4:05 - 4:55 is the sexiest thing I've ever seen

Bruce Sprinsteen,The Killers,Dire Straits you name them they're all in there and many more of equal musical standing,great work chaps.

if you’re viewing this comment you have good taste in music

So refreshing compared to the shite out there! Keep it up!

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.

There's still hope for today's music

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.

There would seem to be over analysis and thinking regarding this young guy. Why don't we recognise that he is not part of a section of the music industry which churns out utter crap I.e daft girls with IQ' s twenty below pond life and boys who should really partner up with the aforementioned thickos.

I'm blowned away at 2:54-3:13😱. His voice blends so well with the sound of the saxophone 🥰.

I wonder if he was influenced by Bruce at all... I hear it big time

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

He should be saying “howay!” not “come on!” ⚫️⚪️

I'm sure The Boss has this in his spotify playlist. :) awesome

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!

one of the best songs i've heard in the last decade.

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

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.

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!

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

Fuck me did not expect a solo like that, I’m damn impressed 🔥

Sweet 80's vibe, after this song im convinced they will be as big as 1975

I'm in my late 40s and I've seen well in excess of 300 bands but never seen such energy as Sam.

He’s one of the very few artists who sounds even better live!

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.

Reminds me of Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing in the Dark” love it!!!

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.

This guy is the future of British music.

I listen to this every day and it brings me to tears every time. One of the best songs I've ever heard.

I just discovered him over the weekend. I’m obsessed with how real his songs are. So refreshing. What a talented guy.

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. ❤

The War on E Street Drugs

This song is brilliant. And this performance is flawless. Perfectly mixed.

Это просто невероятная гитарная дорожка от Сэма!!! И это довольное лицо, аххахаха!!!

Love this version, the key is perfect. The Glastonbury version was also excellent,

This is bloody brilliant. 🔥 Nice camera work made this more better!

Ive been around a fair few years and have been lucky enough to have seen some of the bands in the world.but this version and video of this song is OUT OF THIS WORLD.goose bumps doesnt come close.thank f@#* for this fella.unbelievable talent

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

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.

Who the hell could dislike?!?!?! I adore your songs, your style, humor and aaa I'm a fan of yours. Good luck for everything!!! You're so talented 🍀💗

The best Music to come out of the UK at the moment......by far!

One of the best live vocals I’ve ever heard

Those lyrics are just powerful and moving. And that saxophone just takes me away

Sam's feeling a bit ill in America he has a cold people ,send him you're love thanks Jan xxx

Sam Fender + Sax is the single best thing since Bread in slices.

Damn, this is just a miraculous song. Obvious that Sam himself gets so damn high when Johnny Blue Hat blows

This song proves that no matter what background you come from you can make it if you follow your dreams.

This should have been the album version.

We need a "Seventeen Going Under" and a "Last To Make It Home" Vevo Lift Session

more guitar & sax solos in songs please

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

This is literally one of the most beautiful performances of a song I have ever seen/heard.

Shit fire. I’m getting off watching them all get off. Incredible, pure passion and raw electricity.

The reincarnation of Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band :-)

Does anyone know why he sings “we ain’t got a penny between wor” instead of “us”? Is it a North East word?

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.

F**k me I will never get tired of this record.

I spent my whole day listening to your songs and I could barely stop. This says something about you. That you're a genius. Keep making these musical masterpieces, you've already have my support ❤

Had a few beers and I move house in the morning so the drums are shaking my fucking walls. Proud geordie

In my humble opinion. Sam is the best artist since Oasis. I do not say this lightly. Absolutely brilliant album.

I cut the grass today with this on repeat through my headphones........my garden is 7000sqm. Danced all the way

The tune is so nostalgic

Thanks for the goosebumps …

This performance is fucking AWESOME! This song is my absolute favourite from Hypersonic Missiles ❤️

No one around like Sam. Just love him

Pulled it out of the bag for this live version, looks and sounds amazing.

Stop showing off. OK, KEEP showing off. Sax banger !!! Band scores 23 out of a max possible 10. Again. Get in.

I get teary-eyed every time I hear it because this is what real music sounds like

2:23 epic moment

This is stunning. The boy's going to be massive.

Fleetwood Mac & Brandon Flower in one

Unbelievable tune, quickly has become one of my all time favourites

What a talent...North Shields finest..Howay the Lads

i've watched this 5 times a week since it came out
