Sam Fender - Getting Started | Live from Newcastle Arena 2022

Lyrics

Eighteen, failed dream
Attracted to a bad scene
Think I'll make a couple errands
Cataclysmic age to be
When you're out of luck and your mother's in need
I made my money for the crooks and pushers
In the hopes that I claw somethin' together for tonight
I'm going out
Oh, tonight I'm going out

I'm only gettin' started
Don't mean to be disheartened
Felt like giving up so many times before
But I'm still here grinding
I'm only gettin' started
Don't need to be disheartened
Fеlt like giving up so many times beforе
But I'm still here grinding

I came home and you were on the floor
Floored by the letters and the council rigmarole
What I wouldn't do to get you out this hole
For tonight I gotta let go
But tonight you gotta let me let go

I'm only gettin' started
Don't mean to be disheartened
Felt like giving up so many times before
But I'm still here grinding
I'm only gettin' started
Don't mean to be disheartened
Felt like giving up so many times before
But I'm still here grinding

I'm gettin' started
Gettin' started
I'm gettin' started
I'm only gettin' started

I'm only gettin' started (I'm gettin' started)
Don't mean to be disheartened (I'm gettin' started)
Felt like giving up so many times before (I'm gettin' started)
But I'm still here grinding (I'm gettin' started)
I'm only gettin' started (I'm gettin' started)
Don't mean to be disheartened (I'm gettin' started)
Felt like giving up so many times before (I'm gettin' started)
But I'm still here grinding

It's about time we had real music in the charts again.

[spralgrl]

i’ve had sam’s songs on loop for the past couple of days, his songs are just SO good. would love to see him live someday!!

[samdowens]

Best live gig I’ve ever been to hands down

[needakip]

I took my 10 year old son to this for his first gig. He’ll never forget it!!

[lewiscarty]

Just bought both of Sam Fender's albums last week and I have loved most of the songs from them, but after hearing many of these live performances, what I would really love is a Sam Fender live album sometime in the future, because this song sounds better live, than the original version of the song does in my opinion.

But I'm still here grinding
I'm only gettin' started
Don't need to be disheartened
Fеlt like giving up so many times beforе

I cannot tell you how much those lyrics resonate with me,

This has got to be one of my best musical discoveries of all time.
I am a huge fan of Sam Fender.

Speaking as a lifelong Chelsea fan, as a result of this song, I may breakdown and purchase a Newcastle jersey.

We were there! Fantastic night, brilliant music and wonderful atmosphere. South Shields is Cookson Country, North Shields is Fender Country!

[daviddelgadillo]

He is making rock like the old classics.

Petition to play this before we play Forrest tomorrow… this is our anthem

[bootsybourne]

This guy is just the best, just awesome ❤🎉

Been to the show in Amsterdam, but this is some different energy. Playing for the home crowd, must've been amazing

[ianbourne]

Sam Fender has been a breath of fresh air to the British indie scene, what a revolutionary artist 💯😎🤟💥

[jxdenixxn]

One of the best gigs of my life, a night to never forget. Bring on Friday, see you at Finsbury, Fender!

[Chakirisan]

Brilliant Sam, I’m 63, listened a ton of music in my time… you are the best thing I’ve heard in a long while. Lyrics that really connect, great melody’s and that voice is a gift. Look forward to seeing your music evolve and progress, cheers!

[katiewilson]

Wow this is amazing !!! Best best time ever I had in Newcastle ❤️❤️❤️

Cheers for this official concert video. If I can score ticket to see Fender at Irving Plaza (NYC), I will wear my Newcastle kit with pride.

This song inspired me in so many ways.
