[teeheesims3]

America may have the movies, but Canada's got the musicians

[9987coldplayfan]

Met him at a bar in my hometown, ahaha. You gotta love Sam (;

Canadian legend

[thebrazillian8]

[BrettRyanW]

[BoeingPilotable]

COMBAT HOSPITAL brought me here. this music is awesome!

[SeriousRhino]

Well here in Saskatchewan we don't believe in begging for anything including a thumbs up. We just can't help but keep it real. sorry, and good luck finding thumbs.

[tg4414]

dammit, i thought it was "won't believe i've got to say at a modern world everyday" instead of "wanna leave but i've got to stay and i'm wondering more everyday"

[2012wasmyidea]

Canada is best country eva <3

[chummel1993]

[TieFreaty]

[Beastify9pointO]

@TieFreaty same the new youtube doesnt let you see your old comment when you click on the persons comment in your inbox

[StillHorse1]

I'm allways with my brother Sam to the End. There is true feeling in his songs. I hope he understands the good people have never gone. They are just waiting for the time to come so we all live together or fight for freedom together.Come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[Pestashios]

These guys came to Thunder Bay for a show - Blew my fuckin mind!! These guys really put on a great show, Regardless of all the Douches standing still with their arms crossed!! Fuck 'em, I was still going apeshit in the K row!!

[KISSarmyist]

SOOOOOO GOOD LIVE!

[RespectMyCountry]

I remember this song from having heard it on the rock station in Edmonton, 100.3 FM The Bear a long time ago. Was, is, and will forever be the best station in Alberta for music.

[mitchqqqqqq]

this music video kind of reminds me of Beck - Devils Haircut

[NNDMProductions]

I saw him two days ago, so amazing!

[jacs654322]

seen them for free in whistler 2 times, awesome!

[Pestashios]

Gonna see these fellas live on 11/02 in Thunder Bay.... !! YEEAAHH!!!

[Peskey2010]

These guys are totally underrated!

[stockloc]

Not my style, but props. Canadians unite! =)

[MyDogmatix]

I take the opportunity to wath the band everytime they're in Vancity. I also saw them at sasquatch fest. and it was the coolest thing to see so many blatant canadians soo fricken happy. they definatetly were one of my best memories of that ridiculous weekend.

[danya9901x]

I love how there is no hater comments, just shows how nice Canadians are. :)

[BabyBerlin]

I wonder if that mic falling moment and the roadie picking it up was staged or natural ...

[DAVET0NE]

eh? hell ya im canadian

[Nubiex7]

am I the only fan outside Canada?

awkward....

[danya9901x]

@Nubiex7 LOL

[MrsMurlyn]

ok wth we had it going with 0 dislikes, wtf did it.

[Legitafrobunny]

i remember i loved this song 7 years ago, finally found it today :)

[goost0852]

I'm surprised there's no haters here. I guess it's good we're all canadian here..kind unike our unfriendly neighbors...

[KeKeKeilan]

Canada and the UK are the only countries pushing out good bands these days

[Osric13th]

most good music that makes a positive social impression in north america comes out of canada. I know I live in buffalo.

[BackyardAirsoftPros]

1 cocksucker left

[walker834]

[tg4414]

[secundadonna]

@gigidk aww damn! Shit, shit shit! Why don't I ever pay attention to posters on campus?

[brothasanchez]

[cambruoso]

@Zaoozas Sam and the legendary SLOAN.

[epyon158]

[Hoolio235]

[Weraisethenerdyflag]

OH DAMN! I LOVE THIS DUDE! HE'S BRINGING IT BACK MAN!

[metricguy1028]

@omegalipsis Haven't you learnt that most good music comes from Canada? Well with the exception of little high voiced runt XD Though I'm hoping he switches citizenship soon :P

[turdmonkey1025]

Yay i cant waiit to see these guys on parliament hill this Cananda Day :)

[TheSim1derful]

@turdmonkey1025 Seriously?!! OMIGOD, how I wish I lived in Ottawa right now.

[turdmonkey1025]

@TheSim1derful Lawls yeah there one of the big headliners for canada day this yr them and great big sea lol

[LoneshotHero]

Sounds like Jane's Addiction.

[chrisg20x]

The sounds that roberts and his band mates makes with the strings took me to a better place

[69cheekymonkey1]

Canada the most talented entertainers in the world and such a small population.Go figure

[turdmonkey1025]

@69cheekymonkey1 Its not tht small a population actually and were the second biggest country territory wise anyways

[saturnfan32x]

the canadian foo fighthers



[jennyp0101]

I've been wondering the same thing- Where have all the good people gone?

[skarlotos]

I'd like Sam Roberts more if he would hop on zune.

[StrangeNotDeranged]

If it takes 10 cops to pull you over, that seems like a good excuse to keep driving.

[artemic995]

F**** awesome....

[manderas]

I LOVE CANADA ! Feist , Arcade Fire , Sam Roberts ..... love them all !

[Anzer201]

Why is everyone saying things like ''Canadian music that, Canadian music the other...'' I see awesome UK bands and no one's starts saying ''ooohhhh UK this is...'' but on every Sam Roberts song there is that stupid comment. Sum41 is also from Canada and no one comments that on their vids. Im from Spain

[ThroughFallenEyes]

@Anzer201 its because sum 41 doesn't have that canadian rock sound. sam robers has elements of the older style of canadian rock which is why people comment and are proud of it. and people do comment on the british indie bands as well. just not as often.

[iheartlesbiantunafis]

@ThroughFallenEyes 'Canadian rock sound' that's a load of shit. 

[hellobigworld786]

i like this.alot. (:

[looloorex]

omg...he's HOT in this !!!

[GTAACCORD]

MORE THAN 100000 PEOPLE SANG THIS SONG AT SARS STOCK TOGETHER IN TORONTO AT THE STONES CONCERT... GOOD TIMES

[ricochet188]

Great show last night!

[lastinlineband1]

My buddy did a rail on a magazine with Sam's face on the front cover and he said, "If I ever see Sam Roberts I'm gonna tell him! I did a line of coke on your FACE!" Turns out I actually got to stand next to Sam Roberts while doing security at a show. Sam was peeking through the curtains having a look at another band and I made buddy's wish come true, "My buddy did...." You know what I told him!

[tassouu]

Sam Roberts changed so much, physically (not that i care) But he will always be a genius

[Megafoot2164]

I just caught a clip of Sam live at Glen Gould studio in Toronto(2011) . Sam was playing his new album and there was one paticular song that woke me right up. I can't wait to here the new album and find that song( and its name). I hope its as good as he played it live that night.

[thinker6236]

"FRom montreal to tokyo, Where have all the good music gone?"

[lanidracl]

hy am i looking at freakin Brittany Spears?

[lanidracl]

why am i looking at freakin Brittany Spears?

[pblackrider14]

Im seeing him at much music Friday !!:D SO EXCITED

[NevGrl]

I love how this song is only .69 cents on itunes! (as are most Sam Roberts songs)

[ytismylife]

So good

I haven’t met a friend in a long long while

They don’t shake my hand but they check my style

The modern world is a cold cold world

And all I meet are cold cold girls

[ytismylife]

Amazing song

[Cojiro6o]

Where's the fucker who hit the dislike button? There will be consequences...

[MsDcyr]

gonna c u soon.. Stanley Park, Vancover BC!!!! Woot Woot

[soupbowl417]

Indeed

[04mxz440]

huhuhuhuh i dated his niece . didnt know at the time . woulda hung on lil tighter

...she was a slutty though bahaha

[terryorr]

When I think of great Canadian musicians Sam is right at the top. Sam Robert's music is a uniting force much like the songs I listened to growing up in the 60's. There's so much hate and anger in the world today, it's easy to become indifferent, Sam has enough guts to write about stuff that matters and leaves a lasting positive message.

[mugatu5000]

"They don't check my head but they check my style." Awesome.

Why is everyone so mean?

[YouJussGotCurbed]

where has all the good music gone all the bull shit now a days and this doesnt get recognized hes so talented

[omegalipsis]

I'm mexican and in my opinion this is better than many american artist out there. Well done Canada :D

[FourTwenny]

@omegalipsis

You should taste our beer, smoke our herb, and see our women. Music is just 1 of many many things that is done proper in Canada.

[TheCagedTiger]

@FourTwenny

We have shit music apart from Neil Young and some selective musicians, bro

[TVScio]

@TheCagedTiger Quit riding that american dick, tool.

[TheCagedTiger]

@TVScio

Sorry I'm not delusional, do you have any rose-tinted glasses I can buy?

[TVScio]

@TheCagedTiger If you don't like Canada go back to your poverty ridden country, troll.

[TheCagedTiger]

@TVScio

I'm from Canada. We are not well-known for our music scene, except maybe some Jazz and indie bands in Montreal. Relax, kid, and come to terms with it.

[TVScio]

@TheCagedTiger Try working in the music industry before you talk...you don't seem to know shit.

[TheCagedTiger]

@TVScio

The 'music industry' you're referring to is primarily based on looks and your character. They just make a generic pop beat, push you out on stage if you're pretty, and let you make up some ridiculous lyrics. There are exception, but really, I wouldn't want to be in the 'music industry' in the traditional sense if I were a performer.

And again, I'm Canadian, but we just don't have that much musical talent that isn't based in Montreal. Where I'm from there are just shitty metal bands.

[carnedge1986]

Youtube needs more Sam Roberts

[skrilla88]

Check out Sam Roberts latest single on my channel!

[9alexe3]

2:11 ... sounds like stairway to heaven xD

[Skrunkcat]

up yours, GE!

[tyrone2011100]

this is a song bout an athlete, citizen who took a beating to his already volatile head by quebec special force biker sting cops two weeks before sept 11 . he had and may still have the world by the balls then liberals pretending not to be swooped in and tried to take it all away.. sammy never did much for me so i dont mind ruinin a bit of the imagination cause it wasnt his own story anyway... and they have gotten way lamer since he fucked over the zadoroznies..lol

[skrilla88]

Check out Sam's latest song " I Feel You" on my channel.

[330626]

whose was the idiot who disliked this?

[akathecrash]

@330626 Justin Bieber, because this is real Canadian music.

[Gabzilla93]

Sam Roberts... What a babe. My true patriot love :)

[grrrlshawn]

LOL. I thought he said "Jackie Chan put it on his shoulder" instead of "Traffic jam but im on the shoulder"!

[egor2112]

what happened to Sam Roberts? they've certainly been under the radar...haveb't heard much from them lately.

[Cfreezin]

You can tell hes Canadian because you can see his breath and hes outside.

[Flash9174]

Where have all the good people gone? Ontario Canada that's where...

[melledable]

ps.....one is here....right here at home....

[mrbrockpeters]

I really love this song. 2004 was my first year at university. Good times! Good times!

[Caribbeanpiratesrule]

Montreal to Hong Kong ! ^.^

[Zaoozas]

most UNDERRATED song!!

[FourTwenny]

This song reminds me of cold beer, good buds, sexy women in short skirts, and all around good times. If you're not Canadian you don't even know what you are missing.

[KeepRockin55]

@FourTwenny What you just said means that if you are canadian you know what you're missing. there's pot, beer and pussy in every country. even the muslim ones that shun it, but they're living about 5,000 years behind so we just ignore them

[zukuzukuzuna]

@KeepRockin55 You are very unintelligent sir. What he actually meant was that if you are Canadian, you know what the other people are missing. You are just trying to talk down to someone on the internet and end up looking quite silly. FourTwenny was just making the point that life in Canada is better than anywhere else, I don't know why you would bring in the religion of Islam, and make absolutely uneducated remarks about it, other than you are a person who tries to sound smart on YouTube.

[pbulwark]

Me encanta esta banda!!! Besos desde Argentina!!!!

[Tauntify]

Thats awesome :)

[GuyGroovey]

Not bad... for a canadian.

[Cliffs0fDover]

@GuyGroovey You have down syndrome.

[GuyGroovey]

@Cliffs0fDover

No I don't but my brother does, and you've no idea how hard it is for him to fit in and be 'normal' especially with that stigma attached, that people like you can't stress enough... FU.

[akathecrash]

natural born talent here, none of that Autotune shit.

[iamdirectlybehindyou]

what happened to this guy? he still make songs?

[danya9901x]

@iamdirectlybehindyou he does, they just arent mainstream.

[1122avery1]

The milky way has gone a little sour

[mankindisback]

hes very good at the ooohEEEHHHHH part

[tms9211]

bad videos awesome music

[harryjackson913]

crappy video

[pimp2611]

so good!



[colmwhitford]

lol is anyone else reminded of keanu reeves in bill and ted's excellent adventure with sam's facial expressions?

[planesfreek]

freeking luv this song!

[9987coldplayfan]

the canadian tuxedo= a jean jacket and jeans :)

[TheSmashBadger]

@9987coldplayfan Flanel jacket and jeans :)

[technovikingfan]

@9987coldplayfan

Ha! good one - that or a ballcap and Toronto Maple Leafs jersey!

Chris from Canada

[XenteMusic]

@technovikingfan Nah, most Canadians like a different team :P

[Corvidae5]

still love it....

[senna101]

VEVO is just another way for our modern society to force down more garbage into our minds .. where have all the good people gone ! 

[Abunchanada]

some day I want to be able to say

"it took 10 cops to pull me over"

[Bevus11]

I think its funny that in order to watch a video of a quality band like this, I had to sit through a commercial for that pop shit "fly like a g6" song.

at least some people still know what real music is! keep it up Sam

[mixmastermacaroni]

very Beatles like

[prestigo]

Hey, at the 2:13 - 2:14 mark, does that not sound EXACTLY like the same riff that's played just before the guitar solo of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven"??? Sounds identical! :-)

[thebjm1967]

F5 makes the ad go away

[Tomantion]

love the indie beards! Its something to look forward too in life!

[AbbyCadaver01]

Here's the story. Ex-stoner who caught brother down on some video channel back in may 2002 or 2003 and immediately sourced the cd. Road tripped it to San Diego in my 540i BMW blasting this shit almost sure that no one I past down the 15 from Vegas was playing these guys. Suffice it to say I fell in love. Heard everything except for brother down for the first time.

Does my heart good to know that cool is still rare with only 182k plays.

[Diamondaisy2]

Everyone had the same haircut/ facial hair ? :|

[bluuuuhh]

@Diamondaisy2 " They don't check my head but they CHECK MY STYLE!!! " LOL ....BOTHERED!!! GET LOST!!!
