Sam Fender - Winter Song (Live at Sage Gateshead with Royal Northern Sinfonia) 

4:37 “That was alright wasn't it" After that masterpiece 😂

he’s just unreal, isn’t he?

Alan Hull would indeed be proud. Stunning performance. Really tugs at my emotions this song.

I’m not crying you’re crying.

This lad is going places in 2021. His voice is strong honest and true. It's straight from the soul something you can't fake or deny. The musical saviour of his generation no question.

RIP Alan Hull. A beautiful tribute to your talent.

I get tearful when the younger generation doff their cap to the past. Their parents have done great work!!

One of my all-time favourite Lindisfarne songs. I didn’t think anyone could ever really do it justice as it’s such a moving song, but Sam’s cover is superb. I feel sure Alan Hull would’ve loved it. It’s fantastic to see Sam bringing the music of Lindisfarne to the younger generations.

Astonishing interpretation & vocal performance. Alan Hull would be proud 👏.

Only a geordie boy can sing this song god bless.alan hull

this cover is the single best thing that happened this year

This kids talent is immeasurable. Hope to grow old listening to his songs.

I think Alan being the generous soul he was would love this ,well done young Sam, RIP Hully genius beyond compare

THIS COVER IS EVERYTHING

This emptiness after the song is haunting. There should be a thunderstorm of applause for this beautiful performance.

ladies and gentleman.. sam fender

The exceptionally talented, versatile Sam Fender, ladies and gents.

I've always loved this song makes me think of been a kid growing up in the North East. Alan hull was a legend and you've done him proud fella what a legend 🙌

I didn't know Sam could play the piano! He's fantastic!

Did you say "That was alreet that wasn't it" at the end? 🤣 All the best for the last of 2020 and 2021 everyone 🎄

What a voice, emotional and still retains his Geordie accent. Love this.

I am in LA and saw u on the Brits! I didn't know who you were but as soon as you started singing "17 Going Under", I sat upright and opened my eyes WIDE!! OMG who is this? I have been watching ur You Tube videos since the Brits! You are a brilliant storyteller & a wonderful musician- & ur band is BANGIN!! Although ur songs & stories are mostly set in Northern England, they are so relatable.I haven't always loved Springsteen- I thought of him when I watched you. I'm not the 1st.I used to live near him in New Jersey, ( he lives on a beautiful horse farm) and saw him riding his motorcycle around and walking on them beach in the winter.He started in NJ & cld afford to live ANYWHERE, but has always lived in New Jersey.Yr roots rwhat feeds ur creative spirit.Don't let the music industry in London and LA change you, Sam Fender! I hope u come & do some gigs here.

i’m speechless...

Stunning version. I'm an old Lindisfarne fan and I love it. I've become a Sam Fender fan too.

What a gorgeous song. Sam has an incredible voice.

What an absolute masterpiece

sam has made this gift from Alan his own, and I can think of no better tribute to Alan than this. I'm not crying, just a bad pollen day.

Just found this, havnt heard of this guy, but, will look out for him, a superb cover, ps, RIP Alan

When winter's shadowy fingers First pursue you down the street And your boots no longer lie About the cold around your feet Do you spare a thought for summer Whose passage is complete Whose memories lie in ruins And whose ruins lie in heat? When winter comes howling in When the wind is singing strangely Blowing music through your head And your rain-splattered windows Make you decide to stay in bed Do you spare a thought for the homeless tramp Who wishes she was dead Or pull up your bedclothes higher Dream of summertime instead? When winter comes howling in The creeping cold has fingers That caress without permission And mystic crystal snowdrops Only aggravate the condition Do you spare one thought for the traveler With no secure position Who's turned and spurned by village and town At the magistrate's decision? When winter comes howling in When the turkey is in the oven And the Christmas presents are bought And Santa's in his module He's an American astronaut Do you spare one thought for Jesus Who had nothing but his thoughts Who got busted just for talking And befriending the wrong sorts? When winter comes howling in When winter When winter comes Comes howling in

Such a shame only 300k view This must get milliones views

His talent and voice is amazing. Beautifully done Sam.

Greatest British song writer in 40 years.

No shame in admitting this made me cry when I first heard it. Unbelievably talented and using his platform for a great cause. Keep up the good work Sam. 🖤🤍🖤
