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

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

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

The Bastille part has me CRYING with laughter

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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!

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 !...

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

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

12:27 When Ren told the story in an interview, he said that he stoped couse your voice sounded like Mariah Carey hahahha

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

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

Can’t cope with baby Ren and Sam bless

Ever since my sister misheard the lyrics for Bastille, I've never been able to listen to it without going "How am I going to be an octupus about this?"

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.

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

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

The chemistry with Ren is insane

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 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!

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

I just found this. Loved every minute of it.

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

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

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

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

Do a cover of small bump now so we can compare!

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

you're very talented sir. very beautiful voice.

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 🖤

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.

you can just hear the classic sam tompkins voice break in it

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

so happy for both of you and thank you for sharing

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.

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

'A half grain of rice lids' 😂

Need an updated version of all these please Sir

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

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

It’s 3 am and I cannot stop giggling at the way you say boobies and the whole bastille thing IM DEAD

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 🤍

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.

Enjoying your music 🎶🎼🎼🎶 in West Virginia USA

Thank you Sam, for sharing the depth.

And I’m reacting to your old hair styles! 😂

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

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

Loved loved loved this! ❤

bro hahaha I love this, i’d cringe way too hard if I looked at the videos i’ve set to private 😂

If I meet u I will force u to listen to me singing a song of yours and make u experience how akward Bastille must have fellt. Nice video btw

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 🎶😊

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 😊🎶🎵🎶

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

as you may or may not know i found you through the lil rascal duo you were / passenger , conor maynard/ meeting on the streets and ever since then ive been keeping an eye on you so must have been since 2012/13 what a time you deserve everything

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

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!!💖

My walls are literally THAT color lmao

Thank you for never giving up

Nice . Seeing when you met Ren was great. Ren talked about this on another video (coffee with Ren). Came here via a rabbit hole I went down after watching Ren doing Hi Ren which led me to your collaborations (Blind Eyed - Wow). If you get chance check out Michael Goyette reacting to your collaborations with Ren. Professional guitarist who loves yours and Ren's work.

He kinda got the Turquoise hair going on tho 😂

seeing these old videos makes me so so happy!

its actually so adorable how you met ren, a real connection.. not just meeting online.

What a treat at the end! 🥳🙏🤩💝

Omg that’s how Ren and you met ?😂 omg that’s destined to be a musical friendship

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 💪😎

Wait wtf I always thought Ren was your little brother... I feel like an idiot. I've watched many of your performances together over the years but I guess i never looked past that. You look your age, but Ren is the fountain of youth.

Honestly kids at my school did that exact same thing laughing at my singing video from when I was 13 and my teacher did the exact same! I stopped doing videos on KZfaq after that. Kids are so cruel sometimes. Only now I’ve started doing it again at the age of 22... i wish I would of continued now ❤️

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🧡

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

That story with Ren is fuckin beautiful, man!

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

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

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

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 🥺

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.

'Keep calm and stay reem' Sam giving us wise words to live by
