Why you should start stanning sam Fender;
-a thread

Before we start. This thread mentions suicide, mental health issues, bombings in the middle east and drug abuse.

Sam writes lyrics like no other. He touches subjects other musicians are afraid to talk about. He talks about injustice, suicide, white privilege and domestic abuse

Hes super self aware. Talking about how he had it easier because hes "a white kid with a guitar".
He talks about the privilege he holds about toxic masculinity and explains how he deals with it. https://open.spotify.com/track/7MRJJbjlgJF6n9QHbp6IA9?si=BQ4H7YXlRBG43ZmGI6bhqg

Loudest lyrics for me:
"The patriarchy is real
The proof is here in my song
I'll sit and mansplain every detail
Of the things it does wrong
'Cause I'm a white male
Full of shame
My ancestry is evil
And their evil is still not gone " https://open.spotify.com/track/21BWtfznZlw1hSicGGWVjE?si=GwPuPZmDRzqbl5zp-PKTuQ

He talks about mens mental health. He explained how he opened up to people before the song was released and suddenly everyone told their own experiences with suicide and that he then realised how important the track is https://open.spotify.com/track/7g93COdRFvOxwpxPlvrqLM?si=eT5fujuXQq64KQYvQnQqNA

Pretty self explanatory title I guess https://open.spotify.com/track/50PsIMoFsYh2clFHipEi8c?si=ujUtBH70SVW8TZZ31PbqEA

In Hypersonic missiles and play god he talks about the middle east and how he feels overwhelmed.
"I am so blissfully unaware of everything
Kids in Gaza are bombed and I'm just out of it" https://open.spotify.com/track/6CltzquypraYIlWFp48m1O?si=PyYoOY0pSoe5bahaOFB8gg

He talked so highly of Louis and they really need to collab
“He’s a lovely boy and deserves the world”

He gives you the feeling of safety and acceptance. He doesn't feel like some untouchable celebrity. He actually feels like a human, someone you can freely talk to. He seems so genuine and nice

He knows his roots and often talks about his home town, where he still lives. He talks about politics in the UK and how the north were always at the short end of the stick. He explains how he wanted to leave New Castle but he learned to appreciate it https://open.spotify.com/track/2aBjD2hBxEzGQ6Id75OtLP?si=ucX9O9oJTTehq_Ksz00paw

Hes not afraid to show his vulnerability https://open.spotify.com/track/4hui0bX1Bv89yg1BTsz4NU?si=wmPx9ZxJR72aptOWAemGLg

When talking about politics he also admits when hes not educated enough or feels overwhelmed.
Hes also pro choice and hates the tories

Hes selfmade.
'When I first started touring, all of the people I went on the road with were privately educated kids from down south. A lot of them had travelled, had gone to university. I’d not done any of that'
.

Him talking about Drug abuse
“We all smoked it when we were 17. I tried it a couple of times, back when it was legal. It was the most gnarly drug I ever took. The whole world had just been flipped on its head, and I had no control over anything." https://open.spotify.com/track/7KncmixRfCnvzSsKZnlHt8?si=uxZJl0xtS6qI6Cjs3N5aBQ

Besides all the serious songs he puts out you can also listen to songs that just give you a good feeling ! https://open.spotify.com/track/3kROc4cT1QMKyQdPd0Gbvm?si=jbh7O_thQxitCZjK4jKC-A

This is him and Elton John (!!!!!!) performing Will we talk!

Some of his best lyrics :
"You impersonate the seasons
You're gold autumnal haze
But somethin' dies inside you
When winter rears its face"

"We will break under circumstance in the heat of it all
Can you take all the pressure that is left behind?"

"When the bombs drop darlin' can you say that you've lived your life
Oh, this is a high time for hypersonic missiles
They all do the same, only their names change honey
You can join their club if you're born in to money"
"Nobody talks to each other for fear of different opinions"

"There's no romance
Sprawled out across the couch
Can't even make his fucking face out"

"We idolize idiots
Masturbate to their sex tapes
We love them we hate them
We want to see them fall from grace"

"Let's learn to talk
Without the fear of being heard
'Cause everybody's listening to everything and everybody"

"Start again
A brand new globe
Untouched and beautiful
So we can burn it all
Burn it all again"

"Two people under bedsheets
One shivering with cold feet
One suffocating lover
One fool in a wedding gown"

"This world is gonna end
But till then, I'll give you everything I have
I'll give you everything I have"

Apart from all if this hes really good looking

Thanks a lot for my besties who helped me make this
