Sam Tompkins - Kings 

GUYSSSS I’M GOING ON TOUR ACROSS THE UK, EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA!! GRAB A TICKET IF YOU WANNA 🥹🥹 samtompkins.tix.to/Tour2023

is it just me and my depression or can you hear the pain in his voice too

I’ve never heard an artist like sam , his music is just something else holy fuck , this is an incredible song

You just wrote my whole life on our little council estate in the middle of lost England " huddersfield ".....rip to everyone we lost and loved......this ones for you all my people ❤

Sam, I called my closest friends after I listened this song, and told them I loved them. Don't know who was in the picture near the end of the video, but I know he must have meant a lot to you. I lost one of my best friends unexpectedly a few years ago, and it's strange how time just keeps moving on. I'm sure you think about him regularly like I do with my bro. I still get his mail to my house sometimes... I tell myself he's checking in on me from time to time. It's amazing that someone can continue to: inspire, comfort, and shape your life long after they've left. We're never promised tomorrow.. just today. & Special people like you will continue to help individuals long after we've all left this place. I mean it Sam. Some people just make this world a better place.

Most underrated artist, truly amazing

THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING

LYRICS 🥀🥀🥀 Time is of the essence and that’s why life’s a bitch So i’ll get all my bredrins Take them beneath my wing And we’ll just fly the distance To where there is no sin We’ll have no inhibitions A place where we’re the kings I love my friends I love my family With all them There’s no tragedy In this world Full of gravity Don’t let life Put you down a piece Seen my boys Out here panicking Who they love It’s so damaging This whole thing They’ve beeen managing It’s all wrong (nah nah) It takes a lot to say this But i don’t need this fake shit (nah) Yeah, i’m battling my patience But you’re man enough to take it (nah) Time is of the essence And that’s why life’s a bitch So I’ll get all my bredrins Take them beneath my wing And we’ll just fly the distance To where there is no sin We’ll have no inhibitions A place where we’re the kings Of our own understanding And we’ll have everything That we have ever wanted A land that’s always spring Like just before the summer I just want us to win Yeah i can be the drummer And you can start to sing I love my ends I love my happiness Goes for jamz and pj Anthony Goes for mike Glad it’s happening You got a baby now you’re smashing it Love you ren Love you rashy b You’re my guys You’re my family This real life You’ve been managing and i got you It takes a lot to say this But you never gave me fake shit (nah) Yeah i’m sorry for the lateness But you’re man enough to take it (nah) Time is of the essence And that’s why life’s a bitch So I’ll get all my bredrins Take them beneath my wing And we’ll just fly the distance To where there is no sin We’ll have no inhibitions A place where we’re the kings Of our own understanding And we’ll have everything That we have ever wanted A land that’s always spring Like just before the summer I just want us to win Yeah i can be the drummer And you can start to sing I got you dreads I got you luke Until i’m dead Until i’m bruised There’s no life if i ain’t got you No more rest No more crew I got you Charles I got you George I’d go for miles With all your flaws There’s no life If I ain’t got yours No more rest No more tours I got you jamz I got you P You’re my mans You’re my g’s Ain’t no world for a man like me If you ain’t pushing behind the scenes I got you gleds, oshi and Brad Until I’m dead We’re in the lab Feels so great that you got me like that You’re my world You’re my gang Time is of the essence And that’s why life’s a bitch So I’ll get all my bredrins Take them beneath my wing And we’ll just fly the distance To where there is no sin We’ll have no inhibitions A place where we’re the kings Of our own understanding And we’ll have everything That we have ever wanted A land that’s always spring Like just before the summer I just want us to win Yeah i can be the drummer And you can start to sing

1:00 Ren being Ren and not drinking, big up the non alckies

This is definitely one of the best songs about friendship and ever slipping time 👑

this is me leaving sam a nice comment because he said if he’s sad he comes and looks at the comments. you are valid, you are loved and you are so so treasured, your music does SO much good, thank you 💘💘 i love u king

Going thru the sam Tompkins rabbit hole.😎😎😎👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍

It's so refreshing to have an artist who not only puts out meaningful good music but also encourages to fight these toxic social norms. especially for those men out there who are always told to be strong, not show emotion and be that typical "male stereotype". If you are only just stumbling across this great artist I hope you check his other songs and realise just how strong the messages he puts out are. Wishing wells is another perfect example of how we should normalise talking about our feelings as men and to allow that vulnrability without judgment. Much love to all the kings out there, don't let the world stop you from being the change you want to see. and to Sam, please don't ever stop spreading your kindness and love for everything and everybody!

Couldn’t help the tears from falling on this one. Easily one of the most moving videos I’ve ever watched. Tell your friends and loved ones you love them when you still can. Unbelievably proud of you Sam!

✨Hey Sam,✨ I want you to know that with your music you are helping so many people, including me. I suffer from severe depression and terrible anxiety and music is the only thing I can rely on. When I feel extremely bad, your songs helped me to get through my darkest moments in my life You'll probably never read this, but I still hope you know that your music saves lives. Thank you for what you do for us and never stop making music because I will really die if there are no people like you. ILY ❣️

When you think it says 47 minutes You come back an hour later and realise it says 47 hours . 😤😑😐😬

Man, it's safe to say that you and Ren were one discovery that i'm glad i encountered. The style, the music, the lyrics, the videos, the live performances, the irony, the openness on mental issues; everything. I'm really happy that i share a world with people like you. Keep going, stay strong. Big hugs from Salento, Italy!

I never felt this way while listing a song but I can't even discribe how I feel. I just love this song

Thank you brother. As I sit here feeling empty and alone, I pray everyone rises. Don’t give in.

This is nice to see man who is struggling having friends to call them family. That gives a lot of hope.

Oh my god. I get the meaning now... such a great clip, such accorded to the song. I love you, I love your art, I love the way that you express your emotions: happiness, sadness etc. Life is a bitch i’m so proud of your evolution and I swear you killed it with kings. Thanks for this masterpiece

I think we all need a friend like sam.

Excellent performance in this new song.

I cry every time I listen to that last verse so beautiful

Man I have been listening to you for quite a long while now and I just have to say all your music along with rens, gives me life and will to live! Please keep doin what you are doing man

This just warms my heart in every way

My 4 yr old is loving these vibes,boi is the right place already 💪🏼

Really strong song. And one of the most underrated artist what I know.

I just want to personally thank this man for changing the way I listen to music for the better

This was so touching in a beautiful way, I cried at the end

Also I cant stop listening to this song it's so amazing it reminds me of my son

I confess Sam I avoided this one for a long time, far too beautiful for me, the song itself and the subject matter of the vid. I am glad I am able to watch it now. ❤❤

Sam, I love this so much. Proper pulled on my heartstrings 😩❤️

This is so good.... 🥺

To think that a meme brought me to both sam and ren this is music I needed in my life

Sam is one of the best songwriters imo

Dude just wow.. I’m 20 n from USA and just gonna say man you make some of the best music I’ve ever heard hope you and Ren live on forever!!!

Bruh, ur flow, ur style, ur voice, ur accent....it literally makes me feel like I'm on another level. U r definitely a vibe!!!!

A year passes by on quick doesnt it. Just like im sure what youre going through will pass too

We Absolutely love you sam!!

THIS MAN HAS CHANGED MUSIC FOR ME FOR LIFE WOW

This is pure, living and breathing. Pain and happiness. Tell the ones you love, everyday, you are happy they are alive. Together, everyone is stronger 🤍

aghhhh i love seeing you and ren together you guys are the true symbol of friendship and your both so passionate about singing

Today a tear left my left eye while listhening to this on mah bike. Thanks for you art and the person you are.

Im crying 😭😭😭 I knew the video would be so emotional and incredibly made We love you Sam and remember that we will always support you 😭😭😭♥♥♥

The tranquility of Norman’s bay is so perfect for this!!

Some friends really become family. For now i only have one I'd consider that close, but i hold her very dear. I love people, but i know that even if all my other friends come and go, as long as me and my best friend stay as close as we are, I'll be fine. We live in different cities, but we see each other nearly every week, cause we make the time. I love being there for someone and also knowing, you always have someone who has your back

Cannot stop playing this song. Or any of your songs. ❤️

Wow this song has a deeper meaning ur talented

I'm listening to you from Russia. I don’t understand the words of the song, but for a great song there are no borders and countries. Good luck in your work. What you do is powerful.

This litteraly gave me chills, I honestly loved this one and I'm going to listen to this song for a long time for sure ! Keep doing it I love your art !

This is amazing Sam. Thank you for making such great music and being a big inspiration for me!!

Incredible, gorgeous work Sam! Thank you for your artistic contribution to the world. 💗 My feels and very long rant about this piece of art: Over the last decade I found 2 of the platonic loves of my life. It took a long time and a lot of vulnerability after being abused to trust others. These friends helped me heal gradually. Of course I also did tons of my own work but they helped spark my growth and healing. I found those friends in different countries when living outside of America. Yes, I took my $700, my disorders, and desperation which was actually hope - I just didn’t know that back then, and a job 7000 miles away. I left an addictive abusive relationship that I knew I couldn’t hack unless I just went far far away. That’s ten years on July 29. This song is super passionate about that platonic love. I’ll admit that on my first few listens, the intensity of the song - with Sam’s loyalty piercing through it - roused an old hyper vigilant, paranoid nature in me. That nature can keep one safe but it also can kill. I try to always stay curious and get other perspectives to an experience, especially ones I feel any kind of “aversion” to as it’s called in Buddhism. I listened many more times. What an anthem! I was doing my best in social isolation but last week I had one of the worst mental health episodes in years. I live on my own in a city I know no one in. I’ve been back in America 2 years and I just can’t get past reverse culture shock fully. I’ve never accepted this culture though. It kills me that I can’t find a specific city to settle in still after running for so many years. And I hate that my friends I met abroad all live in various countries and not in one place anymore. They are chosen family. I made 2 friends a state over but obviously can’t see them. Those are newer friends but I know they are good peoples. I trust I can suss our good friends nowadays. But it took those platonic loves to show me what a good friend is. Even though I’m an artist and good at isolation, good at being neglected as a kid! 🙄 life is possibly harder than ever right now. I see a lot of people reaching out anonymously on RU-vid and I finally get it lol. Despite 3 hours self care a day, it seems I needed to be vulnerable and reach out to my friends last week to bring me back to reality from my episode. It’s so hard to be seen or want to be seen as strong and feel “needy” if reaching out even the slightest. 🥺 I’m still growing. Do you relate?? 😊 Resilience isn’t always in the form of proving some die hard self sufficiency though. Its been a challenge to go from fear of being codependent to developing Interdependence :) I’m a woman saying this and I know men have a really hard time with this as they’ve been taught to stuff their feelings since childhood. Music is the Divine. It’s obvious in how it fosters men to unpack and express their feelings! I hope we can all find true friends. If you haven’t, don’t give up. And if you feel someone doesn’t accept you then don’t spend your time with them. Unfortunately sometimes it takes “bringing things to the wrong door” many times and getting hurt along the way in the process. Don’t give up. Especially if you are living through mental health struggles or you are from a broken home I send love virtually to you and I hope you find your chosen family even if you have to rely on WiFi as the only option. 💗 The love in this anthem is needed for our generation. We are the generation to dismantle mental health stigma. We need truth to counteract the negatives that come with social media, globalisation, and capitalism. So many of us are working to dismantle the shit that is holding us back from genuine love. Platonic love and self love are incredible. We are all full beings with or without a romantic partner/marriage/significant other styles of relationship society has dictated we are flawed if we aren’t in. The single life is worthy and full of love too. 💗 Welp, getting off my random ass social isolation soap box now. Just so anyone reading this knows I almost never posted comments on RU-vid prior to our current state of the world! It feels awful doing it but I realize so many people share their shit and it’s helped me at odd hours so here we are. 🤯😅❤️🧇🧇❤️✌️

You and Ren both speak to me so much. Never stop what you're doing! Not many people can tackle toxic masculinety like you have

Just here to confuse the people that see that the comment is older than the video. Song goes hard too tho

Wow man this was beautiful. Gave me the chills. Blessings.

Your voice is so reassuring. 🥺

The emotion in his voice is so powerful

sam i love you so so so much, i am so proud of you. the song, the video: masterpieces. all your kings are so proud of you❤️
