Lyrics:
I was dancing with some kids
In this house where I lived
A couple lifetimes, maybe more
We had the music up loud
By that old leather couch
Where I lost my best friend a couple years before
And on the front porch steps
I smoked a million cigarettes
With every woman I loved and left
The loudest house on the block
The neighbors never called the cops
But I don't wanna test 'em anymore
I was down on the beach
Just out of reach
Of a freaked out kid learning to swim
He was doing his best
He was holding his breath
As the water rose past his chest
Sometimes I feel like I'm caught in a riptide
That's pulling me out to a watery grave
Sometimes I feel like I've seen enough
It's all too much
I feel like giving up on better days
There was this guy that I knew
We met when I was 22
In San Diego when I was on tour
He was a real good dude
Everyone was drawn to
Like the ocean to the moon
I got the news that he died
That he took his own life
Left a beautiful wife and baby boy
I may never understand
The full measure of a man
But this is what I'd tell him if he was here
Sometimes it feels like you're caught in a riptide
That's pulling you out to a watery grave
Sometimes it feels like you've seen enough
It's all too much
You feel like giving up
Sometimes it feels like I'm stretched too thin
How does anyone win in this race that we're in
Sometimes the going gets pretty rough
But I'm hangin' tough
I'm not giving up on better days
I'm not giving up
On better days
Nothing better than late night surfing on TH-cam and finding an incredible singer/musician that I never knew about. Wow, I'm an instant fan.
Snap. That's how I stumbled on to Noah. Great performer and story teller
His entire catalog is equally this good, despite him changing the band dynamic significantly from album to album. You found a true gem!
Well me to but please check this performance of him th-cam.com/video/kCLWf_DVDmA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XSTTtHUQbMVo9OLX
I didn't knew the guy untill today, with this cover..instant fan also
Exactly what I’m doing now, and I also just became an instant fan. It blows my mind the performers that are never introduced to us.
AMEN!!!!
This young man saved my life, I was so ready to end it all, I will always love him for that, Thank you Noah
I’m 4 weeks clean today! I’m not giving up on better days!!!!! There’s no turning back now I’ve come to far. Even tho every minute of every day is a struggle to keep pushing forward!
I wish I had your strength. Keep going
Mrs B almost 5 years. Get to those meetings, do the steps, you don't have to be good at it, you just have to want it. Best thing that ever happened to her. It may be hard, but it will be worth it.
Good for you. It is the most worthwhile journey you will ever take…you will feel again- joy, hope, and pain…but you’ll get through it!
You are worth it ❤
This is the sound of a new generation… yet somehow the old generation at the same time. So very needed.
Have you checked out Thunder Jackson? Amos Lee?
A song with verses and a chorus that isn’t repeated 10 times. Classic. Not to mention the brilliant, universal, heartfelt and inspiring lyrics.
Absolutely spot on! An artist who relishes storytelling as much as performing. Love it!
I stumbled across your "round here" cover on my recommendations and I'm glad I did. What an artist you are, keep going. I'll be listening to your songs whilst driving to work tomorrow.
Same here.
Me too!
same
I'm with them or not you go on keep singing your music touches your soul
Awesome thanks again
When you hear the first song from an artist and instantly know you’re late to the party….wow… all in
Thank you Michael Palmisano for introducing me to this phenomenal talent
I must have scrolled past his video at least 10 times yesterday. I’m so glad I finally stopped and gave it a listen!
Guy's getting the Michael Palmisano bump @Guitargate. That's why I'm here too.. haha
Yes Michael Palmisano its your fault... Thank you..
This guy is HEAD AND SHOULDERS above ALL the mainstream singers and writers today! Oh and his sister is amazing as well!!
All of his siblings are incredible artists as well!
100% Don't forget about Joey!!
The shampoo of singer’s? Interesting…having no hair….
Saint Paul and the broken bones
I completely agree with you and I'll definitely check out his sister's music
OMG, sometimes TH-cam introduces me to such a gem it sends shivers down my spine. This is beautiful.
Holy shit! How could I become 52 without knowing him?
Right im saying the same thing lol
I am soon to be 53 and also just hearing him.
Me too! 53 in May-listened to two songs and immediately bought tickets for June for one of his solo shows ❤️❤️
Me too.
@@nancytaylor5822there’s no way your 53 in that picture. Early 40’s maybe.
Been in a rut lately. Not feeling the best even with 9 years sober. This really hit home with me.
Stay the course. You have my respect. 9 years is no joke.
Hang in there 🙏
Congratulations on your sobriety. Wish I could get there 😢
7 years today for me... this too shall pass
Oh my goodness. Same!!!! 9 years and I’m feeling like I’m caught in a rip tide and stretch too thin. Definitely hit home for me too.
Amazing
I've been battling PTSD for years now. It has robbed me of seeing light creating only darkness. Music like this helps push away the darkness...at least for a little while.
Thank you
❤🩹
I am thinking of you as you struggle each day to overcome the odds. You are absolutely right about how we can find refuge and safe sanctuary in music. Immerse yourself in music and I wish you comfort and peace…..
I struggle with the same issue, keep going man and yes, music and walking are some of the best therapies there are
@@user-jg4yz6dj3qevery day is a battle. I've managed to sabotage pretty much my entire life.
I very much appreciate your kind words
I’m here praying with you brother. Believe that we are all here praying for each other.
I've been listening to you for years. I felt like you went dark for a bit and now I know why. You have been through it, I can see it on you, not on your surface, deeper. I am sorry for your pain but thank you for sharing it through your music. You are now and always have been one of my musical heroes. You are in a league of your own. Much love and peace to you.
This feels like old Noah but much more mature at this stage. Growth with nostalgia entwined. I'm thankful.
Snap
Please never stop writing and sharing your music. Your honesty and willingness to be vulnerable is beyond therapeutic to us listeners. So incredibly good.
Noah is everything we re all missing in our personal lives. He touches the place we forgot existed
When Noah says "how does anyone win in this race that we're in", those words hit right on the core of how I feel about life sometimes.
Different emotions comes out from listening to this song. Melancholy, nostalgia and Hope. What a beautiful song from a creative genius Noah G.
Idk bout anyone else but this song just gave me some Church 🥹🥹.
If my soul had a voice, it would sound like Noah. Absolutely breathtaking
I've just discovered Noah. Best music I've heard in a while...I'm an instant fan. Fab
I'm so happy for you. I discovered him 12 years ago on a Sons of Anarchy episode and that day i listened to the "Family" album for the first time and cried my eyes out. Pillar of Salt album is also amazing.
Been down a Noah rabbit hole the last few days. This music is so good and love the lyrics!
🫶 So relatable. He's so refreshing compared to the nonsense that's out today. I'm hooked on this fella. lol
WOW 😳 Just WOW 😳❤️
This guy has it, that thing, that spark some people are born with or graced with. That thing that pulls you in n keeps you mesmerized. Don’t ever stop Noah
Stumbled across this amazing voice doing a cover of “Round Here”. Great songwriting too!
Same here! ❤
Bro, I'm not gonna lie....I had totally forgotten about you on my journey through the music world and am glad to be back. You're a truly remarkable song writer and have been an inspiration to my song writing. So thank you for all you do and all you've done. You and your sister have something truly special.
Emotionally, this man is reaching through my screen and pulling me in.. only the really really good ones are capable of this.. phenomenal!! 🎉
Th new Springsteen. Keep going, Noah...you've got it!!
Even in my most optimistic mood, this reminds me of friends troubles and heals the past wounds, I forget I hold. Thank you Noah!
Possibly my favourite track from the new album and this version is absolutely perfect. You must release these live studio versions officially! Please!!
Noah, you are to me the finest artist making music today. Every song you create takes me on a journey and reminds me there is still beauty in humanity despite everything terrible going on in the world. I’m so glad I discovered you. Please never stop doing what you do.
Love from England ❤
This man touches my soul with his music…. Noah never stop, never change. You’re unique and have a God given talent. Thanks for sharing ❤
Honest, heartfelt, real life, Noah shares his heart to whoever will listen. ❤
I was dancing with some kids
In this house where I lived a couple lifetimes
Maybe more
We had the music up loud by that old leather couch
Where I lost my best friend a couple years before
On the front porch steps, I smoked a million cigarettes
With every woman I loved and left
The loudest house on the block
The neighbors never called the cops
But I don't wanna test 'em anymore
I was down on the beach
Just out of reach
Of a freaked out kid learning to swim
He was doing his best
He was holding his breath as the water rose past his chest
Sometimes I feel like I'm caught in a riptide
That's pulling me out to a watery grave
Sometimes I feel like I've seen enough
It's all too much
I feel like giving up on better days
There was this guy that I knew
We met when I was 22
In San Diego when I was on tour
He was a real good dude
Everyone was drawn to
Like the ocean to the moon
I got the news that he died
That he took his own life
Left a beautiful wife and baby boy
I may never understand the full measure of a man
But this is what I'd tell him if he was here
Sometimes it feels like you're caught in a riptide
Pulling you out to a watery grave
Sometimes it feels like you've seen enough
It's all too much
You feel like giving up
Sometimes it feels like I'm stretched too thin
How does anyone win in this race that we're in
Sometimes the going gets pretty rough
But I'm hangin' tough
I'm not giving up on better days
I'm not giving up
Not all heros wear capes
Dear Noah, Thank you so much for giving us this beautiful deep song. I hearing this on on repeat coinstantly over and over.
We smoked a spirit together outside a bar in Akron Ohio after you played during the ledges tour with Armon Jay. This is one of your best yet. Feels like a while since I’ve heard a song with the violin and Abby on the backing vocals that so vocally strong and moving. Keep on going dude! You’re awesome.
What a beautiful song. Thank you for sharing your heart and your talents with us. I don't know you, but I feel you. Keep on, Noah!
Been listening to Noah Gundersen for years. He has always been a singular, criminally underappreciated talent. Feels like, somehow, he keeps getting better and better. I am in awe.
I’m the biggest Noah fan ever now!! Finally a real artist….hard to find these days. Breath of fresh air.
Gorgeous tune. A perfect reflection of youth….very personal and inspiring…..I love that your sister records and plays in your band. She is a wonderful musician with a varied repertoire of instruments….
We are living in peak Noah-times rn...
I have been listening to this on repeat all day, music can really be a ray of sunshine during the darkest days.
What a track, from an amazing album, 🖤
I NEVER comment on TH-cam videos, or social media either really. But if there is a chance you read this, Noah, please come to the UK and tour. Would love to see you play live. I've only discovered your music in the last few days and I've listened to nothing but your voice and your songs since. So many beautiful songs, so many of them have moved me to tears with every listen. It took too long for me to find you; but I'm grateful that a TH-cam rabbit hole led me to your music. It's been euphoric discovering your discography, thank you so much for creating all this beauty and singing it with such heart. A new fan.
Ledges years and years ago, and I've been hooked ever since... this is brilliant and beautiful.
"Family" hit me HARD.
Love Noah Gundersen
Im bloody shaking.. real tearjerker, amazing as always! Never stop, you guys changes so many life
Well I am 79 and I though I've heard everything until I heard him. He taught me that music is a never ending dimension and the world needs more like him. Listening to him makes want to write some .
more
Noah’s music never fails to find me and hold me right when i need it consistently for years now. Love his work, the new album is beautifully vulnerable and Noah at his best ❤
I absolutely love this. Thanks for the lyrics in the description too, English isn't my first language so it really helps
Raw yet a gentle reminder of our vulnerabilities 🎉🎉
That fiddle player takes it to a whole nuther level.
Thats his sister, Abby Gundersen. She is well as talented as her brother.
Since I discovered you in 2020, you have become one of my favourite top 5 artists of all time. Keep on goin' Noah. Thank you for everything in your music.
I’ve listen to your music since you sang with that red beanie on dawg. Awesome to watch it all unfold
I don’t know how to put it into words, but just thank you Noah for sharing so much of yourself with us. This song means so much to me. Looking forward to another Canadian show hopefully in the future ❤

Thanks for the lyrics, man!😢

Discovered you today 8/18/24. You are so very talented. Keep making your music and writing songs. Love ya Cynthia
Touches the Soul.
This is a perfect song. Lyrics, instrumentation, performance, etc.
Just fantastic music, straight from the heart. A masterpiece..... and great performance from all the musicians.
In love with this song... The whole album reminds me a lot of Ryan Adams Gold. IMO one of the best albums ever made, but sadly from a man that isn´t deserving of someone listening to it. It feels good to finally find something I can replace it.
It was 1am and I stumbled onto this song and man it's just great. Made me want to go grab a guitar and Write something. I will be back keep the great music coming !!!!!!!!!!!!
Needed this today. Thanks!
Me too, today
I love your songs so much
This song is literally amazing ❤
You know i listened to this 100 times before i picked up my guitar. If you can play E, B, A, C#m , you can play this. Another proof that the best music isn't about complexity. It's about a story, and emotion. (But ya, beautiful composition as well!!!)
Stunning!
This is my new favourite from the album!
Magical! When you think you’ve heard it all and then this…..Amazing
This is so freaking good.
WOW! This SO tough, beautiful and surprisingly very hopeful. I so appreciate this. This encourages me and I'm sure it will bring hope to a lot of people struggling out there. Gundersen's vocal performance is always so sincere it almost cuts into your heart!
Thank you Noah. Beautiful!
Love it...new music is the best, even if I'm 9 months behind
Was having a really rough morning, and having this crafted gift of track to listen to just now was exactly what I needed. Noah’s songwriting just takes lyrics to a whole new level with every album.
Wow! this is really beautiful 💙💙
Free Fallen Vibes!
Well. I’m crying now.
I love this song.
I feel you! I feel as this song was written for me 😢
Needed this so much. I couldn't feel...i needed to hear someone and feel something. Noah...man please keep these coming. The world needs you so much. Whew...i think i can breathe now. Love your soulful sound. ❤
Palmisano sent me. Amazing work brother, keep it up 👍
Fantastic tune...
She’s a masterpiece 🙏
Just incredible 😢
The New Young Bruce in a right of his own🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 glad you came into my feed today🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Happy Blessed Easter 🙏❤ best to you always
Just found our man, Noah.. This is the first song I've heard. (Now on the 3rd repeat) I've fallen in love with it.. Holy crap 😭❤️🩹❤️
Just can't tell how much this song holds for you,you out there.
Pure talent
New to to Noah and am so impressed and thankful I came upon this talented man and his band
This really moved me. Thank you x
I just got my tickets to see you when you come to the Burgh in October ❤️❤️❤️
Just, wow. 🎼
Wow so much conviction in his voice he feels every song he sings❤
Awesome tune Noah actually I bought the album, but this one was my favorite.
I'm 65 just now hearing this,funny how little parts of a song describe your life in one verse ❤beautifully done😊
He's amazing!
Absolutely beautiful and powerful!!!❤❤❤ I am looking for other great songwriters who write and perform from their heart. Anyone got any suggestions?
never heard of this guy before good voice
Every time I reach a point where I think I can't do this anymore, you remind me that I'm not alone. Such deep gratitude & so many blessings to you, beautiful soul. 🙏💙
I remember watching him in folk life back in the day. Moss on a rolling stone still one of my favorites
Absolutely beautiful song. God bless you
