Sam Roberts - Dont Walk Away Eileen

[hymentotep]

The first time I heard this on the radio I thought it was some great classic rock I had never heard before. I haven't heard the rest of his music, but this song sounds very 70s rock to me.

[carliboy908]

To put it bluntly, Canadian music rules..and I'm British

[Shmazzy]

He is even better live than recorded.

[Supermokh]

that is how i define a good singer.

[rorzak]

Them kids, Where have all the good people gone, Detroit 67, brother down (all time favorite) much much more, but you can get started with that...

Check out hard road and Bridge to nowhere.

[atriptothedentist]

Sam Roberts has Maaany Good songs, infact i canr think of 1 that i dont like!! GO CANADA!!

[MissyLKS8]

Funny, when showing my friend "We Were Born in a Flame", I was commenting on every song and explain why I like it so much. When "Bother Down" was playing I said that it was probably one my least favorite songs... which then I go on to talk about how awesome it is and how I listen to it all at work all the time. His "worst" song is still amazing and better than 99% of the music out there.

[Castsurved]

Oh god I used to love this song. :P

[izzofan12]

this is a great song. and does sam roberts have any other good songs?

[mullamike]

[pinkandblackfb]

It's been a year since I heard about Sam Roberts and I've been listening obsessively to his music since then.

I would love to see him live.

Sam Roberts is also kind of beautiful,too.

[davebest2001]

This guy is the best thing since sliced bread

[Stereocone]

i love sam roberts

[heybigspender88]

so my name's Eileen and it's just the greatest thing in the world to have a song about Eileen that isn't Come On Eileen, the devil's theme song

[harpsaxbassman]

Don't walk Away Eileen

[Theer124]

i what to be Eileen

[loberman]

He looks like Sean William Scott a bit

[laurizzie]

Just saw him live last night...such a great show.

[xxa13xx]

Awesome song! Even better live.

[drunkee11]

who says canadians cant rock? haha

[angrywhitewomen]

we canadians rock out... politely lol

naw we can be badass

[therealCanablisS]

nobody that i know of ,,,,

[frankool1981]

I love that there's a hockey game playing on tv.

[colbypizza20]

yea i know!!!!!

[RAF71chingachgook]

"You're a pacifist with a gun, Eileen" could be the coolest line in any song ever. :)

[originaldreamers]

I'm presuming this song is about his wife.

He's been married to his high school sweetheart for 13 years, and he's currently 33 years old. Which means that if they got married when they were 20. Eileen would be his wife.

[biba11binoche]

"i've been living for u since the age of 17..." ehehhe i first heard this when i was 17

[EuphoricAura]

thats friggen awesome, I'm jealous :P

[ynnahs]

uh.. what? I think Eileen being black is great. Its so typical to see white people play parts in white people bands, this is a change, for the good, and i happen to love that Eileen was played by a beautiful black woman.

[pinkcheese000]

TOTALLY AGREE! Its not like every middle eastern person should be called Abdul either eh?

[indianelephant1944]

i always imagined elieen being white, why the hell is she black? this video whould be so much better if elieen was white

[PandaStoleMyPuppies]

True, eileen always occurred as a white person name to me lol

[katimeow]

Yay, he was at the Calgary Folk Fest

yesterday !

[tigershockey219]

I personally think that sam roberts should come to salmon festival in newfoundland for 2009. It would be the shit.

[SKxXspartanXx]

sam roberts is my cousin!!

[ozziesnephew]

he's my uncle-lol

[alexOramad00d]

yeah and hes my brother and i met jesus in grade 3 he sat beside gandi and i also visited the bahamas with the muslim god but its pretty sweet that hes ur cousin

[alexOramad00d]

yeah and im jesuses dad and i sat beside gandi in 3rd grade and my best friend since in i was 7 is tom cruise but its pretty sweet hes ur cousin

[inthewolf]

i know a tasty tidbit about this! apparently tihs woman eileen lived across the street from sam - she was the mother of one of his buddies. the song makes a lot of sense when you know this (i'm a man, not a boy; i've been living for you since the age of 17...).

[Kilowarning2]

good shit

[masharocks]

i love how low key he is.

his songs aren't crazy, they're chill.

In some of his other vids he looks like he just got out of bed, it's cool =]

[tigershockey219]

guitar hero 3 comment.. lol.

It takes a long time to look like you just got out of bed. hahaha.

[OiLeRs17RuLe]

[mckey26]

[BrettSublime99]

[djob2676]

This song reminds me of my first Junior A line brawl in Sept 03. It was playing on the PA system while all hell broke loose on the ice.
