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

It's so cute that you and Ren actually have a video of you playing together on the day you met, so sick

You and Ren, I hope you will do stuff with him again. This story between you both is so touching beyond believe. Amazing.

The story of how you and Ren met is so wholesome, I love you both

Okay, that little insight into how you and Ren met absolutely melted me. I didn’t think I could love you guys more.

thanks so much for watching, guys! subscribe to my channel and follow my Instagram for more - @samtompkinsuk 🥰💙

Aahhhh seeing you recount your fateful encounter with Ren was so interesting, thanks for sharing, Sam :)

I'm watching this in 2023...and I just wanna know if you realize how many Americans have now watched your and Rens videos of y'all busking? Ren has blown up here in the States and thru that YOU have been seen and your Angelic voice has been heard and LOVED!!! How do you not have more subs?!?!?! Your voice is a sexy silk that moves people...at least it does me!

Man... I sometimes imagine how insane it is that we have all these small variables in our lives that have a huge.impact. Imagine you busking a couple of streets down or not busking the day you met Ren.. Small decision, but the result may have been so different. It's mad!

A RENegade's concert, or even tour, one day would be wonderful. Sam Tompkins, Chinchilla, The Big Push and others/including The Wolf and other discoveries

Sam slagging his room's wall colour when thats his hair colour now 😂

The Bastille part has me CRYING with laughter

This is a beautiful video. Congratulations on your successes and I'm so very sorry for the loss of your da.

Sam you are in permanent beast mode. What an incredible voice you have. I cried when you teared up on stage with Justin, just watched it again for the feels. What an amazing experience for you. You deserve that sort of recognition. Pretty sure Justin thinks so too. And all his fans, they loved ya. Keep on keeping on Sam, give our man Ren a massive hug from us all when you see him.❤

This was so cute 😌 don’t be so hard on young Sam, he had some passion

If 1 kid picks a guitar or buys a mic starts his own thing cause he saw you guys..Your job is done, we all want to be able to make a living doing what we love but very few do most give up, your an inspiration to others and in my opinion for me the most joy is inspiring someone and showing that all you need is belief and yeah youll get laughed at etc but in the end if you love it youll shine and be the one with the memories and stories of the amazing people you met on your journey, fame or no fame its about following what love and being an inspiration !...

Awesome..To have footage of the day you and Ren met and played for the first time is worth more than everything that came after it, what a memory to have for the rest your life, tear jerker. you guys have come so far on your own terms no words amazing, wished I was more aware at the time as around that time the band I joined for 1 gig as they needed a guitarist started our own night at The Hope Sat nights in 2005 called The Stash that 1 gig turned into 7 years once every month, we loved given new young bands gigs cause Saturday night all there mates could come would of loved to have had you guys play...Thats amazing footage, im a big bab..thats brought a tear to eye, made me feel alive!..Big Love to you guys!

oh man the story of you and Ren meeting is so cute. I didn't know that he's older than you and effected your music career that much. He's like an older brother to you so sweet

Ren and Sam together for the first time... genuine chills

actually the confidence it took for you to ask Bastille to listen to you sing like not a lot of teens would have the balls to do that

The way you and ren met is awesome. You both don't just make amazing music together or separate, but the passion and talents you both put into each of it is like straight out of a movie.

Hey Sam, I'm also a musician and I'm from brazil, I'm a huge fan of yours, I was really feeling a bit down lately, doubting myself for the last couple of months, then I watched this video, hearing all your stories, listening to the message at the end, made me happy and glad to do what I'm doing right now, you're amazing!!! Thank you for sharing this with everyone.

Thank you for sharing the parts of the journey we don't get to see... The fact that Ren was doing that for a kid in the street singing. Amazing. Can't wait for you to do the same thing for another kid out there Sam

i remember the fist time i saw you singingwas with ren in brighton i stopped and never moved till you had finished i have lived here for 30 od years thank you both for that moment in time

Meeting Ren not knowing his talent prior but knowing now, when you look back you must think that was one of your luckiest breaks in life, and not just that you can tell he is one humble guy, that just loves creating music and saw your talent and gave you not money but the guidance and encouragement, the world would be a better place if there was a lot more Rens. I was thinking the other day that since lockdown a lot of artists that have great talent but not had many followers because their not in the limelight, have actually started to shine with people having more time to listen to proper talent and not the junk that's served up on the radio every day and it now it seems they are understanding what talent there is hidden in the depths of youtube, etc? For me, it's the fabulous lyrics that bind together so well and aren't repetitive but giving people something they can actually relate to, not just about breakups but about everyday life and struggles. Love your work man

Well this was fun! So glad you stuck it out as you have a massive talent!

I just found this. Loved every minute of it.

The video with Ren made my heart so warm, seeing you both pop off recently is amazing

Sam : Turquoise is a horrible colour Sam’s hair : Aight Ima head out

I found you through watching Ren, but you shine all on your own as well. You two together are absolutely amazing, but I want you to know that your talent is seen and appreciated. Your music is amazing and beautiful and im glad I discovered you. ❤❤

Thank you Sam, for sharing the depth.

i literally sobbed when he told the story of how he met Ren and showed the vid... i love you both sm and knowing Ren is legit as genuine and loving as he seems just makes it all so much better

Ahhh so sweet, young Sam and Ren! It’s so cool you have this on video to look back on. You were good then but look how far you have come now! The world is your oyster! Good luck 🖤

More videos like this please. I love your music and it's great getting to see the personality here. ❤️. Oh and I love your accent.

This is a wicked video giving us fans a bit of your personal special moments . Thanks Ren is fire as well #Neverstop

Sorry I didn’t see you back then, great video and you are awesome, keep on going you are amazing 🙏🦉❤️🐊👍

i remember seeing sam first from the “same old situation” vid, so glad to see where he’s gone and where he’s going. happy to be a fan

Wait Ren is 6y older than you?! He hasn’t aged at alllll

This is so much better than regular youtubers reacting to their old, cringe videos, tweets, or whatever🤩

It's great that moment was captured on film for us all to see.

when you told the story about the other busker helping you out I was intrigued..but when you said it was Ren my jaw D R O P P E D ! That is such an amazing story and now all these years later, loving what both of you do, I am so thankful and happy that moment happened❤❤❤

This should be a lesson to all young singers...keep going. Your voice is still growing.

How lovely, you have the video of the exact day, a amazing friendship was born, with you and ren!!! Love it!!

This is the first video I've seen of you talking and I absolutely loved it. Your stories are amazing and how great is that video of you and ren? You guys are so awesome!

12:09 so good. and then he started singing funny so we wouldn’t feel bad cuz we can’t sing. some of us😭😭

Loved loved loved this! ❤

You're amazing, Sam! Keep making music 🎤🎶🙌❤️

I never knew this was how you met what a fecking legend, Ren big up to you bro.👌👌👌👌 An all your vids are sick Sam, Ren, the Big Push all of them thanks. All summer sat in garden chilling with family, I blasted your tunes out.

“But don’t give me abuse for it” 😭 I feel so bad for baby Sam, but at least it led you here

This was so sick!! Adorable to see you go back and look at not only your vocal growth but your growth in your career. Super proud 🤍

Thank you for the fact that this video exists at all, because it is unrealistically inspiring and it’s doubly cool to watch it now, knowing how much you have already achieved. You are so alive here wow 🥺

Lovely Reaction, Truly inspirational moment. Thanks for sharing, so excellent that Ren and yourself have both achieved your dreams and more. Peace

Enjoying your music 🎶🎼🎼🎶 in West Virginia USA

‘don’t struggle to get down low now though’ 😂

What a treat at the end! 🥳🙏🤩💝

🦋 sending you many blessings and much love and thank you for your music. For having faith in yourself, even when people are making fun of you. NC USA

That was priceless! Thank you❤

18:21 thankyou for saying that man😭😭 it motivated a lot.. and also make more content like this i love it!

When you're now starting off something 8 years into the future looks far away. But when you look back 8 years feels like yesterday. Love this video. Thank you for sharing 😊🎶🎵🎶

Thank you both for being such an amazing artists and sharing your amazing gifts with us!

When you said Ren, the hole story just came into my feelings... Such a nice gesture and story of your friendship

Just got to say, the cover of little lady is crazy, ive been listening to you and Ren for a few years now and i love everything release. Keep up the good work man.

The whole Ren story and video got me so emotional awww sush a beautiful friendship

Can’t cope with baby Ren and Sam bless

I'd watch whatever content you make tbh, you're all around chill.

YES! I LOVE THIS IDEA! You should make more regular KZfaq videos

Look at you with your schoolboy haircut, adorable. and LOL, you thinking Ren looked 'older' when you both look like absolute babies to me!

This video touched me fr

Love the story of how you and ren met. It's so genuine! Saw some busking videos of yall a while back and been a fan since.

It is amazing how his voice, personality and soul have been shaping even more over time. You are a great artist, and I am very to be able to follow your journey and support it. I would support a cover of the songs in the video, in the "adult Sam" version

Sam this video was so inspiring.. I literally admire you so much and im so happy everything is working out. The part where you told the story of how you and Ren met is so cute and it made me tear up😅 Also the first video of you singing with your turquoise wall is amazing!! Ahaha your voice is the best😊 thank you for everything!!💖

noooooo it is not awkward that you stopped them, I would never had the courage . props props props. also that video could go viral if you titled it "boy sings to bastille their song" something like that

Baby ren and baby sam 🥹 💜💜

I love that you’ve decided to switch up your content, can tell that you enjoyed yourself and that’s what’s most important. I’d heard the story of how you and Ren met before but didn’t know you had a video from that day, how amazing 🥺 Been obsessed with you two since I first heard of you over a year ago from the classic blind eyed video ❤️

That little head shake after “can’t get me out of the clubs”....I rate the self awareness 🖖🏾

Yo bro 20 minutes is not enough time to meet such a great artist!!!! Keep doing these videos cause I loved to know more about your story and I know you will hit a million soon 💪😎

You and ren are just my vibe 💞💯 I love high of you so much, you guys are talented af.

Loved this video, learning more about your story and watching you giving hope to little bedroom singers haha 🤩 You deserve way more than 200k subscribers Sam... I've been following you from France since about 5 years now maybe more. Love what you do with Ren and alone too, wish you a great and long journey in the music world 🎶😊

thank you for the little inspirational motivation speech at the end of the video ❤️ and i would like to see more videos of you reacting yourself

I've been following you for a while. I remember when you sang in the car park with Ren singing blinded eye and that angry security guy😂 In all seriousness when I watched your busking videos I wanted to sing just like you! You have always been a massive inspiration for me! That's why I can now sing because of you! So thank you🧡

Sam I remember watching all of these videos when you put them out on KZfaq ! You should be really proud of yourself !

Ahahaha love the impromptu Bastille Eh Oh’s at the end 😂😂😂

I love your voice and personality!!! Thanks for sharing! Haha I was laughing out loud to your reactions. So awesome.

Aww, dead cute seeing those old vids again, 8 years and still a fan! Much love, Liam

Need an updated version of all these please Sir

You roasting yourself is so cute 😂❤

Sam you’re a great vocalist and I’m sure the band that’s listening to you wanted to, please don’t be hard on yourself.

You have brains and intelligent you ate perfect don’t let any one let you down I’m Soo impressed by this is amazing You are soo talented

this video seriously made me so happy and haha gotta point out too that for someone who doesn't make this kind of videos, you made look very very professional and nice lol like I liked the set of the place and the sound was very clear, it was really a nice amazing video

More videos likes this plsss

Should do the songs you sang as a child as you now x

I enjoy hearing your thoughts

This is so fun.

Hey Sam! That is my name too! Where is the full video of you and Ren first meeting!? I love watching your journey and dreams come true! So much fun! Thank you for sharing and being you!

Dudeeeee, cryinnnn🤣🤣it’s the bastille part for me 🤣🤣🤣

You must Cherish this video Sam.

This was inspiring to watch mate, seeing where you're at now. Amazing. It would be cool if you did like a video on songwriting, the first song you wrote and how you've progressed etc. I've been playing all my life and I just can't write anything 😂 then I listen to 'not so grey' and I'm like HOW lmao

Great video, it's like an actually bio of where you came from to where you are! Keep doing what your doing 👏 big fan!
