@@grampajacks2677 Dry Year, Sleepless in Seattle and Wild Horses are all written in the same vain and it’s like they reframe the lens I see the world through. They’re stunning and hopelessly hopeful and just like nothing else I’ve heard.
Really quite gut-wrenching. Speaks to the nostalgic yearning that I feel for a simpler world than that of the contemporary times- to the many people suffering from the malaise, who sink into themselves longing for a lost time. That’s how I read it anyway. Beautiful.
"every bar in this city reminds me of somebody now" captures an emotion no song I've heard has been able to. And "this city was built on the back of a spirit I can't feel anymore" hurts so good. Thank you for this.
Such a Springsteen vibe I get out of this... and think each time Gundersen releases a song he's one inch away of making the most honest song he can, as he always does. Bravo!
Absolutely perfect musical poetry. Made me cry. Noah has such a old soul. He can not only tap into the endless well of his own life experiences, but also somehow does so like they are all of our life experiences as well. On top of that, Noah is just such a amazing humbled human being. The couple times I've meet him, he truly takes the time to get to know your story. So can't wait for the new album and to hopefully see him again LIVE in concert. Sooner than later! Cheers Noah!
Never have a heard a song that so completely gets how I feel about Seattle these days. The most beautiful lonely city I’ve ever known. All memories and ghosts. Just half-finished skyscrapers with the spirit gone. I think this just confirmed for me that I’m doing the right thing getting out of here. Time to go someplace that still has a soul.
I'm a Seattle resident. One of the new ones, who moved here for the tech. But I also happen to be a huge fan of music, and for that reason, Seattle has been a tremendous home to me. I came to your show in 2019 as a fan of your music, not knowing you were from Seattle. Hearing the crowd embrace you, and murmurs from those that were friends of friends of you filled me with a sense of community that was beautiful. You were also my first post-vaccine show in 2021, at that bar in that small town near Everett. And that sense of community was even more overwhelming there. Seattle's not the same, not even in the short time I've been here. But you've both contributed greatly to its music legacy, and eulogized its music legacy all the same. Thanks for the beautiful work that you do. This particular track will be on repeat for me for DAYS.
I not only miss Seattle, I miss OLD Seattle. And I see I'm not the only one who had a little "eye water" thing going. Like someone said, it hurts so good.
I barely knew old Seattle but I miss it. Whatever the city is now, it overall feels startlingly impersonal and unplugged and uncaring. Those words - this city was built on the back of a spirit that I can’t feel anymore - that nails it exactly. Every city has a soul. Where’s Seattle’s soul these days?
@@sleepingdogpro The old funk that defined the soul of it has withered. My favorite place in my house is where the stuff is stacked and measured by its use and every cabinet has at least two junk drawers that have a hundred stories each. Seattle was that way for me. Fremont. Ballard. West Sea. Georgetown. I only have media glimpses of the unwanted mess it is now.
Wow that was great - 2nd listen now. So well written but also passionately played. Even without seeing him perform it, you can feel it come through. Also dig the video - helped tell the story. I feel like I got a sense of Seattle for a moment. Also a piece of him in there as well. It’s wild how great artists can do that.
Having watched your musical evolution over the last ten years, despite the difference of the soundscapes each album-the way in which you so effortlessly capture such complicated yet specific emotions through words has remained consistently enchanting. Can’t wait for the live performances, I am gonna bawl for all four nights. 🥲
Fuuuuccckkk. This song hits if you lived Seattle and then it betrayed you. I literally cry listening to it. After 15 years my city is dead. We had to leave. Who ever leaves last turn off the lights.
Went to see my guy today. The guy I tell all my secrets to. Couldn't have come at a better time. I came back from our last trip to say farewell to our boy Eric Hughes, and, even though I got to spend some time with my Lil' Bit, and over a dozen Marines from a time when I played a different part, I had a full on panic attack when I came home. Uncontrollable shaking of my right arm, difficulty breathing as my mind played out over a decade of memories. Some vivid, some dull. This was the worst it's ever been for me. My instincts told me to run away and find something to occupy my mind, some new project, but instead I surrendered and laid by my wife and did box breathing. I focused on things I could feel, and things I could hear. It's funny to me that although I preach it so often, it's so hard a concept for me to grasp. I'm all alone here. We all are. What I mean by that is that regardless of who is in your company at the time, it's just you up there kicking around trash in your head. It's just you up there trying to sort shit out. Make peace with that person up there. Give yourself some grace and learn to, not only forgive that person, but give that dude some love! Sometimes that guy up there just needs a minute to find his center. When you learn how to feed yourself, you can accomplish anything. But none of this will happen if you can't also keep that voice in your head accountable. At the end of the day, ask yourself, "Are my actions in line with my goals?", and if that answer to that is no, then maybe you need some help figuring it out. As I left the Vet Center, I laughed at myself for how trivial I can make things when I want to feel petty. I needed a reset. As I turned on the truck, this song came on. Never heard it before. A song about the passage of time and accepting change. I don't know why, but it brought me a lot of peace. I truly think that before you can really fix anything, you've got to let things settle first. Water aint gonna clear up until you get the pigs outta the creek. This song helped me watch that water clear up.
Seattle has changed so much and this song captures many people’s sentiments. Still, I love this city even though you have to look a little harder these days to find the soul.
WOW… Lyrics are genius and the music is masterpiece! Stunned , on this North Carolina porch! Thank you for sharing your honesty and your musical 🎶 gifts! 🌻🍀🌻
I literally can't get enough of this song.. how it's been performed, arranged, recorded, and these absolute gem lyrics just leave me breathless. Hands down one of the best songs of 2021. Much love & respect from Moscow!
This is absolutely beautiful. Listening to it on repeat; soothing to the soul and so real. Thank you for this! Please create more music, we need more artists like you, we need soul music! Love from Sri Lanka.
Good stuff, man. Quite a few influences for the area, new and old who have gotten lost in the times. Somehow some of us survived long enough to understand the differences we've all found which have impacted ours and other lives. Great story piece. 🤘🤘
I love Noah’s music so bad! I get excited every time a new song comes out! And I saw on Genius, that this is the first single for his forthcoming studio album “A Pillar of Salt”. Can’t wait for more singles to release, but even more the album to release!
Yall are depressing me saying Seattle is dead and no longer has its soul. I just moved here like 3 months ago from the other side of the country after having my heart set on this place for a long time. And I'm already depressed, I don't need help in that department lol Update: I've been here over 2 years now and I see what everyone means
Sleepless in Seattle, I couldn’t find a better name for this If idle hands make devil’s work, maybe we should build a church just so we can burn it down ‘Cause every bar in this city reminds me of somebody now If I get drunk at 12th and Union, whose street will I go wandering down So I don’t want to go home I don’t want to go home Brian’s on a barstool, talking to his tall can again All that acid in the 90’s, he said it made a man out of him All his LA friends got married, a wife, a house, a couple kids He’s just trying to keep the dream alive and if it dies then he and I just might die right along with it So I don’t want to go home I don’t want to go home Where it’s just half finished skyscrapers begging the question Does anyone care anymore?

Not like he’s been shooting video and photos his whole life for you to take away giving him credit for his work to the 50,000 views this has. But I bet he likes his day job better than work he would’ve gotten for shooting this, right?
This is possibly one of the most lyrically striking songs Noah has released, I'm in awe.
Idk man, dry year is one hell of a lyrical masterpiece. 👍
Dying now. And abbey stole that with her soul grabbing voice.

I say that about so many! I saw him in Atlanta in 2019 and wanted to next week but sold out! 😢
Noah this is absolute medicine for a tired tired soul
'Home is not a person or place, but a feeling you can't get back.' - Noah Gundersen
Literally the exact line this entire song reminded me of.
Damn Noah, really capturing how Seattle feels these days.

So underrated Noah…
Noah Gundersen is a legend! He should tour with Fleetwood Mac! I think he’s definitely worthy of standing in for Lindsay Buckingham!
I've only visited Seattle once, but this song fills me with nostalgic sadness. I think a lot of people from a lot of towns will relate. Beautiful.
I bet I'm not the only one who had to watch this over again because it wasn't long enough.
The man can do no wrong.
Remembering knowing you Noah a few years ago in Madrid. What a magical moment. We are living. Every second. Every life.. :)
Thanks
Damnit Noah, you made me cry. Again. 🥲

Never heard music the same until I heard Noah.
The best there is, is it only us who see it....
I’m so happy that you got to hear this live. Love you ❤️

When nothing makes sense anymore , this does
Hell yeah Noah...UNBELIEVABLE. Keep that dream alive dude buddy!!!
Oh my God.
Never clicked a notification so fast..🖤
I'm 59 years old and this young man and his music are on my top ten list of all time. I couldn't wait to hear it as well.
i love our beautiful city

Omg I have just discovered this album!
I was stationed in Silverdale, visited Seattle every weekend! Thanks for bringing back the memories
fighting for my life rn
Noah is sleepless in Seattle and a lot of people are still sleeping on Noah's music. This guy is amazing!
Noah doesn't let anything get in the way of what he wants to say
Great song, Noah!
You are a treasure.
Man of many talents
This song is amazing. I’m looking forward to the rest of the album too.
He really does remind me of Juice now and then in this video.
WOW… Lyrics are genius and the music is masterpiece! Stunned , on this North Carolina porch!
Thank you for sharing your honesty and your musical 🎶 gifts! 🌻🍀🌻
Pure magic
A song that just connects on all levels. With sick finger picking and crescendos that make ya lean into it more. Could be his greatest work yet.
Such a fantastic song and musician!
Always love new music from you Noah! This absolutely does not disappoint whatsoever.
I literally can't get enough of this song.. how it's been performed, arranged, recorded, and these absolute gem lyrics just leave me breathless.
Hands down one of the best songs of 2021. Much love & respect from Moscow!
AMAZING.
Nice!

Insane as usual
This is great! Feels like i'm right there in Seattle with you :)
Just... Amazing... 👏👏👏
Just amazing!!

i love you noah, from mexico, to you.
absolutely brilliant as always.
God dammit this song is so good!! You're special man
Been following you for a while now Noah. This is one of your best songs yet. Thanks for sharing friend.
Beautiful
Beautiful…
Love it! Thanks Noah
New Noah!!!! Yes!!!
This feels right. Thank you, Noah.
Beautiful song well done!
Your tone is amazing!
Exactly what I needed right now! Amazing!
About time new music …
That’s it I’m moving to Seattle
If this song makes you want to move TO Seattle you’re not listening to the lyrics
had to stop everything I was doing once this popped up
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yall are depressing me saying Seattle is dead and no longer has its soul. I just moved here like 3 months ago from the other side of the country after having my heart set on this place for a long time.
And I'm already depressed, I don't need help in that department lol
Update: I've been here over 2 years now and I see what everyone means
are you coming to Germany too?
Can someone with a utube channel do a "reaction" on this song , its so beautiful and calm, wow wow!
Sleepless in Seattle, I couldn’t find a better name for this
If idle hands make devil’s work, maybe we should
build a church just so we can burn it down
‘Cause every bar in this city reminds me of somebody now
If I get drunk at 12th and Union,
whose street will I go wandering down
So I don’t want to go home
I don’t want to go home
Brian’s on a barstool, talking to his tall can again
All that acid in the 90’s, he said it made a man out of him
All his LA friends got married, a wife,
a house, a couple kids
He’s just trying to keep the dream alive
and if it dies then he and I
just might die right along with it
So I don’t want to go home
I don’t want to go home
Where it’s just half finished skyscrapers
begging the question
Does anyone care anymore?
This city was built on the back of a spirit
that I can’t feel anymore
Maybe there’s a new anger or a new seed
for some younger farmer to sow
But right now it feels like last call on New Year’s Eve
And the bar tender is telling me to go
But I don’t want to go home
I don’t want to go home

He is to young to make lyrics like this, damn this is good.
I wonder if he had decided it was time to move away when he wrote this song.
Who can dislike this? WTF!
Who shot the video for this music video? Oh yeah… it was your “best man” that you decided to not give any credit to for shooting it. Lol
Not like he’s been shooting video and photos his whole life for you to take away giving him credit for his work to the 50,000 views this has. But I bet he likes his day job better than work he would’ve gotten for shooting this, right?

Don!t likethe crew-cut much but the song!s a stunner.Love all your music but prefer long hair!
