A sad example of how real talent goes undiscovered or at least unexposed as it properly should be for years. Dude's been putting out material since 2008. Just saw him 2 weeks ago opening for City and Colour and he played this song. Yes, the harmonies are beautiful and the piano ads something to it but when I saw him, it was just him and his guitar and it was every bit as powerful as this performance. Dude man rocked the house with just his pipes and a guitar. Shocked to see he's been putting out stellar stuff for 9 years now.
But..........be careful what you wish for. Think Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse. Sometimes it's better to go slow. I have a feeling Noah and those around him understand this. Mental health is so important and this young man is incredibly gifted but also obviously sensitive. Let him age like a fine wine.
I've always believed a great artist is the one who is able to put into words those things we don't know how to properly express. Thank you, Noah, for speaking up my soul [and so many others]!
I think I listened to this for at least an hour straight at work last night. I was really down and this song connects to how I feel and although it made me sad it was so beautiful to listen to.
Noah Gundersen, Peter Bradley Adams, Ruth Moody, Ray LaMontagne, Matt Andersen, Freya Ridings, Joshua Hyslop, Gregory Alan Isakov, Hollow Coves, The Paper Kites, The Wailin' Jennys, Rose Cousins, Cory Chisel, Eva Cassidy, Jets Overhead, Patty Griffin, Amos Lee, Bon Iver, Loreena McKennitt = Life is GREAT!!!!
I remember listening to this song over and over on my drive across the country. Deciding whether or not to come back to Baltimore or to stay in LA and kill myself. Then I remembered I had a beautiful puppy dog waiting for me back home.

This is the song I want my children to remember me by.
How don't more people know him? He should be a household name! So good!
I like him :). i love how your name is also Gunderson. but different.
How
how can anyone with a human heart legitimately down vote such beauty?! this music is just... wow!
This one is a certified banger ✌️❤️
Love this stripped down version, especially the keys! Way to be, AJ. Hauntingly beautiful harmonies, Abby :)
Wow.. absolutely beautiful.
one of the most honest and beautiful songs I've ever heard.
Good lord... talk about an emotional performance! It's a shame it hasn't gotten the notoriety he deserves yet!
Joe Maye he has now
This is incredible.
Take a listen to this honest acoustic music... We LOVE it!
This is so... touching. An amazing artist, really. perfect performance.
Just have to listen to this at least 5 times a week! awesome musician and bloke!
God just amazing . So powerful

This is such a beautiful song
Stunning combination of voices, beautiful!
This guy is far better than most. True talent and songwriting
Love this song. Talent wasted. He has great talent. Needs more recognition.
Absolutely beautiful
Maravilhoso!😍
Beautiful.
So beautiful!
saw him perform last night opening up for City and Colour. A bit dark for my taste but absolutely excellent. Boy has a new fan. Rock on.
Beautiful!!!!
Love it
2014 must have been when I saw him and Armon in Ames, Iowa! What a good fucking show.
awesome videos, thanks for sharing!

Perfection. If only we can try to be a better man for her
"If I am a Stranger" intro anyone?
im a ryan adams fan and i kind of noticed that too. however this song is different enough once he starts singing that i think we can let it slide.
For a quick second, I thought it was gonna be a cover. My head knew it didn't make sense, but my heart still hoped for those first 40 seconds.
Beck Hyslop I don't think I knew "if i am a stranger" but already thought this song sounded quite a bit like a Ryan Adams piece. Love this song.
Absolutely.
100% lifted
This is unreal.
I remember listening to this song over and over on my drive across the country. Deciding whether or not to come back to Baltimore or to stay in LA and kill myself. Then I remembered I had a beautiful puppy dog waiting for me back home.
I am grateful to your puppy for you still being here. May your days be filled with light and peace.
Long hair fits him...
Abby is beautiful
the key at 4:06 was not quite right. Pianist played it cool though, but overall I really love noah gundersen.
I’m sorry but this is 93% a Ryan Adams song If I am a Stranger
Recorded a cover of Ledges with a friend - check it out here: soundcloud.com/will-wilson-music/ledges-feat-abigail-brown-noah-gundersen-cover
Piano is way too loud. Also, this is nothing like Ryan Adams song. This is all its own. Amazing lyrics. Ya'll haters can stfu.
Absolutely beautiful
