Sam Fender - The Borders

The lyrics tell a powerful story, that of a childhood friend of Sam, who had a much tougher family life growing up, and the effect this had on their friendship. Sam does a fantastic job with his voice to capture the emotion of the story, and this is heightened with the use of other instruments. The guitar and drums pack a real punch, and add even more intensity to a song that lacked none. The sax solo is also a delight. I can see why this song is getting all the Bruce Springsteen comparisons.
