Soulful recording artist Samm Henshaw Releases video for Uplifting track “Tangerine”
Samm Henshaw - Tangerine (Official Video)
Last year, soulful recording artist Samm Henshaw delivered his long-awaited sophomore album It Could Be Worse — a project that arrived first in the warm, tactile format of vinyl before making its way to digital platforms, a release strategy that felt entirely in keeping with the organic, deeply human quality of the music itself. It was the kind of album that rewarded patience and close listening, a richly textured body of work that confirmed Henshaw as one of the most gifted and emotionally generous songwriters of his generation.
Now, Samm Henshaw offers fans an intimate new video for "Tangerine" — one of the album's most beloved and quietly devastating standout tracks. The visual is stripped back and deeply personal, carrying within it the same warmth, honesty, and soulful vulnerability that makes the song itself so impossible to forget. It is the kind of music video that feels less like a promotional tool and more like a genuine act of creative expression — a window into the world of a song that has already found its way into the hearts of everyone who has had the privilege of hearing it.
"Tangerine" is Samm Henshaw at his most unguarded and beautiful — a song that moves with the quiet, unhurried confidence of an artist who trusts his audience completely, and who understands that the most powerful music is often the simplest. In sharing this intimate visual, Henshaw extends an open invitation to sit with the song a little longer, to let it breathe, and to find in it something that feels personal and true.
With It Could Be Worse and the continued unfolding of its creative world, Samm Henshaw continues to build a body of work that is as soulful, as honest, and as deeply felt as anything being made in contemporary music today.

Tangerine
Pick yourself back up
Pick yourself back up
Pick yourself back up
Pick yourself back up
Pick yourself back up
Save myself the trouble
Painted my anxieties
Burrowed deep inside of me
Know the move was subtle
They changed my mind entirely
Shroud my joy and hide my peace
Sick and tired
(so sick so tired)
Had enough
(I’ve had enough)
Gotta Rise
(If I could rise above)
Rise above it
Go on and
Pick yourself back up
(Oohh yeah) (you better)
Pick yourself back up
(said you better)
Pick yourself back up
(I know it hard sometimes hey)
Pick yourself back up
(but you’re gonna make it by)
(you got to just)
Pick yourself back up
Ah man
I know you aren’t talking about
Being sick and tired of being sick and tired again
Your girl met somebody new
I’m sorry that sucks
And I know he’s 6’2 and fine as hell
But hey
(it could be worse)
You gotta just
Pick yourself back up
You know what I’m saying
Pick yourself back up
Pick yourself back up
Pick yourself back up
Pick yourself back up
Pick yourself back up
Pick yourself back up
Pick yourself back up
