Sam Roberts - Brother Down

[12OclockLow]

9 persons' lives are passing them by

[SpaceCADET42090]

9 people didn't have the gut to handle the cannibalism scene 

[lemond360]

Really enjoy the song, when I first heard it wondered if Perry Ferrill had a new band name. Definitely a nod to Jane's which is not bad in the least!

[dagoninfinite]

good

[SirDiggyDawg]

This song is soooo amazing d-_-b

[p750key]

nice video



[kowalityjesus]

i love canada

[hoansguckindieluft]

God I just wished they cut that FRIGGING VEVO BULLSHIT OUT! If I see one more of those Rihanna BS frames I'm gonna puke!

[Chrisizim]

@hoansguckindieluft not to mention the dumbass ads

[BRiZiFa]

OMG I fially found this song name! What a great song

[Rand0mCal1er]

@BRiZiFa me too

[RightMeow69]

As if they just let it slide that buddy uses the fresh water to pour on his face.

[NV671]

REAL INSTURMENTS!! i forgot what they sounded like.

[Canadaroxmysox247]

hot guys with hot tans are way hot :P oh and this song's pretty cool too.

[ballazzz]

They could've ask the other boat at 2:11 to pick em up!

[2everibodyfeaturinme]

0:17 to start the song... I know it's not much to wait but it gets annoying when you watch the video 100 times a day

[Beastify9pointO]

I KNOW THISSS SONGGGGGGG

[mattmatt115]

Good thing we can still mute the advertisements and go read the comments before watching the video to get an approximation of what to expect, while completely avoiding the propaganda factor. Thanks Youtube!

[janer1977]

you rock sam - get back to newfoundland please.

[MrASH716]

Good music isn't a problem ever , shitballs music is though

[antmlova1]

white people problems. lol

[FuckingStanz]

@antmlova1 Good music ain't a problem. 

[MrAndroid40k]

he looks like a star trek original series character in this video

[evandc1]

I've been a huge Sam Roberts fan since this album came out --- now he's got 4 LPs and they're all great. I went out to see them in concert last night (Vienna, VA, near DC) and there were only about 50 people there. I was shocked! How are they not famous as hell??

[58shadesofgray]

One of the best qualities in a musician is the ability to take four simple guitar chords and turn them into an unforgettable melody. This is an amazing song :)

[dvdlrx]

you know whats deceiving ? Watching an Adam Lambert ad before this video...

[Twizzle2056]

I seen this on some music video CD I had back around 2006/2008 xD

Still good now :)

[112112233]

This video and song make me think of Life of Pi. :)

[dazlion2]

sooooo underrated 

[fabbers3o14159]

all time favourite... :)

[jesse5615]

what do you guys think what sam is saying at the end the song.. "one eyed prophecy"? illuminti related?

[FuckingStanz]

@jesse5615 There's no fucking Illuminati, and if there was, indie artists wouldn't be putting it in their songs to doop delusional dopes.

Jesus christ, you people are annoying.

[MsLeahface]

@jesse5615 nowhere in that song does he say "one eyed prophecy". he says "One life to live but we're doing it wrong you see".

[chicagosportsmike]

Just started listening to sam roberts, so far i like what i hear.

[LilLuckyDucky]

I almost forgot what good music was, Till I saw this..

[icelandic2121]

its so sad how little viewvs this has compared to sooooo much shitty music with soooooo many more views

[rousis14]

I still am convinced that this music video is based around Life of Pi.

Also saw them last night at venue :) almost as good as the Kee

[NewElectronica]

600,000 views WTF

[euro696969]

[dpru1]

[TheNoble1carter]

@TieFreaty wanna suck my dick

[TieFreaty]

@TheNoble1carter i was just kidding, i love sam roberts, i just wanted to see how much hate i would get if i said that lol...

[977Sarah]

@TieFreaty That's stupid, and childish. Grow up.

[TieFreaty]

@977Sarah Its stupid and chilldish how you would honestly flip shit over someone stating their own opinion, its not illegal, so suck a dick, and since i dont really care for having an argument over the internet, and i know you will still answer back, your messages will just be deleted, thanks faggot.

[977Sarah]

@TieFreaty Nobody here liked your opinion, and I am not flipping shit. So, your welcome. I am just stating my opinion.

[TieFreaty]

@977Sarah I dont like your opinion so suck my dick, im just stating my own opinion.

[977Sarah]

@TieFreaty this is much better than whatever shit you listen to, so shut up. And if you really think it sucks, than why were you watching the video and listening to it in the first place?

[TieFreaty]

@977Sarah , i like sam roberts, i said that JUST TO SEE HOW mUCH HATE I COULD GET, just calm down

[ForTh3Wolf]

@s1ygirl

[101Jared]

[101Jared]

that blonde dude would be tossed over-board for wasting that water on his face.

[TheCondemnedProphet]

Saw him live a few months ago... Fucking boss.

[checkacola]

i remember listening to this when it first came out, fast forward to 2011 i'm still listening to it. good music doesn't die!

[cobes89]

@checkacola I remember like it was a week ago, time flies. I didn't understand the music vid very well back then and I still don't, that's the only thing that hasn't changed.

[Beastify9pointO]

@checkacola YOU MEAN 2012 !

[OvernightDerailment]

It makes me happy to say this guys Canadian.

I managed to get an interview him while he was in Ottawa for Canada day. He's really down to earth, easy going...all around great guy.

[WOLF4099]

@OvernightDerailment

[WOLF4099]

I AGREE(KITCHENER ONT)

[DuNLikEZacH]

You Dont even Need a Video this song is just the best, who gives a shit if theirs another fuckin boat

[SittinSideways04]

[faceyou]

I'm in love

[Amer1canBaby]

only half a million views...? i fucking love this song

[Chewyodella]

I think my life is passing me by....

[MattisseWH]

Don't get me wrong, the song is awesome, but the one guy jumps off the boat to get saved by the other boat and doesn't bother to get them to go back and save his buddies?

[SwiggyDaDon]

worst filmed video ive ever seen...is it me or do i see another boat

[mlutzy]

@SwiggyDaDon who cares just enjoy the song and stop complaining

[Kasd23]

Pretend this is your favourite line from the song

[fbunny2009]

When I first heard 'Brother Down' years ago, it reminded me of music from New Zealand's Crowded House. Am I the only one who thought this?

And, this is a great song, by the way!

[TheFutherMuckers]

k what the hell.. why does sam roberts only have 500,000 views, and eminem and justin bieber have more then 200million..fuck pop.

[MiseryCrown]

@TheFutherMuckers Life's a bitch bro.



[NeedNestea]

Ive been look for this song for so long!

[DeadWheels]

why doesn't this have more views? amazing.

[cambruoso]

I making my favourite playlist of the best rock bands Sam Roberts,SLOAN,Teenage Fan Club,Oasis,Catherine Wheel,Queens Of the Stone Age,Foo Fighters......because i can't listen to the popular music manufactured by and for the simple minded, and easily entertained.Take that fucking gaga/madonna wannabe ad down!!I don't want to see her ugly tranny mug while i watch REAL music!

[iputmyhanduponmyhip]

oh and fuck vevo.

[iputmyhanduponmyhip]

6 people have their own taste in music & i respect them for that. =)

[RFCovel27]

What is this song about?

[TensionalSpy]

@RFCovel27 Cannibalism

[crazybroandco]

life of PI

[613ENUTZ]

man EVERY LINE in this song is amazing. stop trying to compare. Great MUSIC. Canada representin'

[TheCagedTiger]

@613ENUTZ

Why do you fuckers insist on pointing out every marginally successful Canadian, it's fucking embarrassing

[TVScio]

@TheCagedTiger He was a lot more then marginally successful in Canada tool. No one said he was international, just huge in Canada, and it's good music. Learn to interpret peoples words better moron.

[TheCagedTiger]

@TVScio

"Canada representin'". Implying he has some how represented us on a world stage. In that category he definitely has only been 'marginally successful', so what I said was correct. Also, nice commas and apostrophes, kid.

[MrDFlipside]

Rich man cry's cause his money's time, poor man smilin' cause he knows he aint blind!

[iLuvBarRefaeli]

vevo go fuck yourself with your damn ads

[havok3595]

I've watched this a bunch, and only now realized the implied cannibalism. It creeps me out a little. Great song, though.

[S4mZyB0i]

Lol my names Sam Roberts ^^

[ricochet188]

GREAT GREAT SHOW LAST NIGHT!!!

[Tikio088]

at 2:10 you see another boat i think :P

[wiimaster888]

@Tikio088 yup

[TheNoble1carter]

@Tikio088 i think its the same one

[Alexanduhr]

@Tikio088 Yeah they were gonna shoot the flare up so that boat would help them, I think.

[DarKFrenzy108]

@Tikio088 Yea It's definitely a motor boat lol

[101Jared]

@Tikio088 could have been a sandbar

[MisterAlexJay]

@Tikio088 right... and they trying to call it with the flare, but shot it in the ocean. Thumbs down.

[leaffandigger]

LAKE ONTARIO

[iriddell1]

@leaffandigger NO WAY!! really!? it looks so biiig! *thats what she said?*

[Megafoot2164]

" rich man crys cause his money's tired " " Poor man smiles cause he ain't blind ".......

[Haelstrome]

@Megafoot2164 "Rich man cries 'cause he knows his money is time; poor man smilin' 'cause he knows he ain't lyin'." *

[serenityMMM]

been lookin for peace but they're bringing you war.

[jakedamis]

[TheApratt90]

@jakedamis WTF the ottawa tulip festival?????!!!!!

[jakedamis]

[mattjohnkearney]

@TheApratt90 its a thanks for the liberation of Holland, during WWII. they keep sending tulips over, every year

[SuperGonggong]

damn i been looking for this song for ages, i used to jam to it, haha sam roberts is so underated, he's one of the only real artists in the world in my opinion, I mean rebecca blkack is so great but ya kno i wish i had enuf to buy all his tunes on itunes.

[nhlplayertributes]

The song started playing and I was like...this is crap!

Then I realized it was a commercial of Jennifer Lopez singing.

Damn you commercialized music and your terribleness!!!

[tammywhitey]

[RYANisWATCHIN]

Best canadian band out there

[themancallednick]

[Pendemic]

This video deserves more views!

[skrilla88]

Check out Sam Roberts Band's latest song "The Last Crusade" on my channel!

[TheKnightNamedJoseph]

My girlfriend got me tickets to see you this June 25th at the BOBCAYGEON Sam. I think your songs stand for what a Canadian should be singing about. I was the first of my family to listen to you. Now that I'm 24 I won't ever stop man. Im hoping you can do "Brother Down" this June as it would be the best song choice over the Trews and The Hip. I'm Joseph Drane and I'm Proud that we have you as our Canadian Artist. P.s Don't forget to Bring the Bongos. :D

[bevz2nikki]

@TheKnightNamedJoseph omg where??? plz say toronto/montreal/ottawa

[cor7590]

@bevz2nikki it's in Bobcatgeon Ontario

[andyass3]

@bevz2nikki they sold out like a week ago

[zabraoota1]

i love his songs man, i actually like the Canadian musician a lot better than south of the border.

[bevz2nikki]

@zabraoota1 its more artsy cuz theres no pressure to conform cuz there isnt as big hyped up industry of like cookie cutter pop shit ie metric, broken social scene, arcade fire

[dakint1]

this guy needs to come to Australia, he'd be fucking mega over here, hes got a real coastal sound.

[meddeyc]

@dakint1 Josh Pyke

[UTubist512]

Today I heard this song on XPN, University of Pennsylvania's radio station and I just loved it. I hadn't ever heard of him- consider me a new fan.

[codycobourg]

looking forward to June 25- see these guys with Tragically Hip, and the Trews, in BOBCAYGEON, Ontario

[andyass3]

@codycobourg its going to be awesome!

[The31415927]

[dust2dust2day]

@burrirlo Yes. Continue spreading your ignorance and hatred. It makes you feel GOOD to HATE. Let it consume you.

[skrilla88]

[daelohmen]

[jmufkinr]

I'm American and I was hearing this song a lot back in like 2003 or 2004 at my University.

[TheCellphonesinger]

this song got me through the worst summer of my life

[djscotty1111]

Does anyone see the lifeboat as earth or just me ?

Good song and Video > Lyrics that make you think... contemplate a lot.

[xGhost0fWarx]

oh shit... i think i broke the replay button!

[babyduck34]

sam roberts is only a somebody because of jordon zadorozny, with out jordon's help re-mixing his washed up first album, sammy boy would still be playing jj's pizza in pembroke ontario, jordon made sammy, and sammy never bothered to return the favour. what comes around, goes around sammy boy!!
