“His song about his sister is my song about him” 🥺

[@RegentSnail7738]

Noah's been through some tough times in his life so this really pulls at your heartstrings. It's wonderful that he's carrying on Keaton's legacy by paying tribute to him during their tour and covering "Sympathy". A wonderful way to honor not only a musician that he respected and admired, but who was his friend as well. 🖤

[@pancakes_35]

I saw him play that on the tour and had to hold back tears. Such a beautifully done cover

[@Misrabelle]

As soon as I saw this upload, I thought there's no better person to ask, because he absolutely knows some dark times, and the fact that he can create what he does, the way he does is astounding.

[@thecrue2008]

I didn't even know he passed.. one of the most underrated bands.. so many good songs.. glad I met him.

[@thecrue2008]

And it's weird that I barely discovered bad omens and Noah sounds like Keaton..

[@mirabellaswan]

Noah wears “The Lord of The Rings” T-shirt! It’s a pity, I wish I could have a chance to chat with him. It’s looks like we have lots of things to discuss. Good luck, Noah! I appreciate you❤

[@albertorull8385]

Am I the only one who would pay to see a film of this man's life?

[@k4o1w7l_]

I'd help produce that for free

[@Xan1ver]

Whoa, this was actually kinda hard to watch. Never seen Noah been so open and vulnerable in an interview discussing his mental health issues and emotional state. Really appreciate this interview and the gentle way the interviewer handled what Noah was saying. It was lovely to hear more about his and Keaton's friendship, and I can now even more deeply appreciate the Sympathy tribute. My love and respect for Noah and Bad Omens only continues to grow...

[@yuliyas7838]

Noah is such a nice and sincere person.

[@veraglauben]

I only discovered Bad Omens this year and didn't really pay much attention to who "the fifth guy" was. But after hearing this story I'm convinced Vince is an amazing human being. Recognising someone's struggle, taking them into your house and family and really helping them through it is so valuable. Especially as an older friend. Especially with someone who lost a stable home life too early. Maybe I wish someone saw me struggling at that age, I don't know, but I'm a little teary eyed about this story.

[@carlyelliott5164]

I would pay good money to hear Noah do a guided meditations. His voice is so soothing 🥰

[@chipchippahson]

So glad Noah is putting Keaton out there the way he is. TCTT is so under rated and deserved much more recognition.

[@jacobparker2980]

They’ve been play Sympathy on their tour. Heard them in Charlotte

[@yballaw2714]

they’ve been playing sympathy but i definitely wanted to hear eiley live ! i really thought that’d be the best song to play and one of their best

[@joelidirt]

Who is Keaton? I’m very curious

[@yballaw2714]

@@joelidirt lead singer of too close to touch, recently passed away earlier this year. close friends with noah and was pretty big in the scene.

[@chipchippahson]

@@joelidirt He was the lead singer of Too Close To Touch. Unfortunately he passed away at a young age this past March from acute pancreatitis. Incredibly talented dude.

[@JessInTheCityy]

You can tell just through Noah's music that he's had some mental health struggles. Enough, Enough Now, Miracle, and If I'm There are all songs that can break me down and make me full-on ugly cry, and you can tell he put a lot of raw emotion into them. And it really helps; especially on days when you feel like you're mentally treading with all of your might, desperately trying not to drown

[@Leslie-mo1it]

If I'm there makes me feel like someone is grabbing my hand, sorry for being cheesy but really makes me feel not alone in those hard times 🖤

[@JessInTheCityy]

@@Leslie-mo1it It's not cheesy. If I'm There hits me the hardest because I kinda dedicated it to my son. He's 18 and we're really close, but a couple years ago he fell into a pretty deep depression. I didn't notice right away, because I have 2 younger kids who both have special needs (not physically), and they take up a lot of my time an attention. I felt terrible when I found out, like I should have noticed sooner, especially since I have my own mental health struggles. And since he's the one who introduced me to Bad Omens, I immediately thought of him when I heard it. He's much better now, and on his 18th birthday we went and got matching Bad Omens tattoos 😊

[@k4o1w7l_]

thats fuckin beautifully worded, i must say.

[@CyclesAreSingularities]

@@JessInTheCityy that's class

[@Matixmellaz]

"His song about his sister is my song about him"🥺❤

[@ElectricTwilight888]

This was a really nice interview - props to the interviewer for allowing him to talk and feel comfortable enough to open up about these sensitive topics. I know how hard it is to deal with loss and mental health struggles. He’s honestly a breath of fresh air in the music industry because he’s so genuine (the band as a whole is). Anyways, I love Bad Omens. ♥️

[@FKaga]

Eiley... such a good, emotional, underrated song.. Rip Keaton

[@WhoRU879]

Noah is a true class act. So much respect.

[@lillaaa001]

Incredible interview. It’s not very often that we get to hear Noah open up as much about his own personal struggles in such detail but it’s certainly refreshing as a long term fan of the band. I had to pause the video when he brought up “Eiley” and later when he described his friendship with Keaton. Had to stop the tears from falling 😔 I really hope that one day, if there is a song written and dedicated to Keaton, that we may have the honour and pleasure of being able to hear it.

[@Raijin-RyuX24]

That Aurora album is a masterpiece. Was surprised that Noah knew of it but glad it helped him through things. Aurora is a gem of a person and I can certainly understand how her music can heal. Very awesome interview. Thank you both.

[@Mountainmystic3]

I love that Noah is rocking a LOTR shirt ❤ This interview had me in tears. I appreciate his realness in his struggles with mental health and resonate so much his words.

[@lamiana]

Bro I loved that whole Too Close to Touch album…sympathy got me through a lot of stuff. I would’ve loved to see them live, R.I.P. to the vocalist.

[@MadisonHarvill]

The more I hear him talk, the more I find myself interested in him as an individual. I love his brain lol.

[@NJP220]

Eiley absolutely gutted me when I first heard it a few years ago. The raw emotion in it is so powerful and tangible. So many artists use metaphors and subtle lyrics to convey what they are feeling. Keaton was so open and blunt about his pain in that song and in his vocal delivery of it, that you can't help but get emotional. I can't imagine having a personal connection to Keaton the way Noah did and listening to that song.

[@NickMavromatis]

Amazing interview to its core 🖤🥺

[@deedo10666]

Bro I know you from October Ends. Really nice to see you here with a beautiful comment. Thank you Noah for opening up ❤❤❤

[@djentlehmon2024]

Noah is an amazing human being 😍 Cool to see you here Nick 😵‍💫😵

[@spilledmygutts8402]

Came here from your story and I now find myself bewildered listening to this interview

[@deeisdian]

The best interview of the year. It's crazy to know Noah's struggle with mental health meanwhile all of Bad Omens songs help me get through the day especially when I got diagnosed with GAD and depression. Brb.. crying over this interview. Thank you Noah for sharing this, you bring so much inspiration throughout the year

[@Tayanicholls]

I honestly love hearing why my favorite artists like certain songs and how it helped them because a lot of times those same songs have been special for us ❤️ It really shows how human they are 🥹❤️ Eiley is such an emotional song but I love it

[@changkyn]

i cried when he said that now the song keaton made to his little sister is now noahs song for keaton 🥺

[@veronica.gv.]

Noah is such a Gem!💎 🖤 We don't deserve him

[@chellyyo6624]

I love him so much. We had the same flippin childhood.

[@TheCalabaza93]

I have a massive crush on his talent but I'd honestly love to meet him for real.

[@zekkentier]

I love what he says about Eiley cause it hits the nail on the head. I shed many a tear over this song because Keaton put so much emotional power into it and I can very much relate to these kinds of feelings. 🥺

[@jessicamckay1012]

It’s his spirituality that gets me 💙

[@yoselynvillatoro6915]

Wow Noah is such an amazing guy , seeing this side of him almost brought me to tears. I’m so happy he was able to overcome some of his struggles & I hope his wound for his friend soon heals 🖤 I can’t even imagine losing a loved one & how to cope with that but he’s trying his best 🖤

[@ttttttiiiiiinnnnnaaa]

I really really wanted to hug him and say, you're not alone, everything will pass, we can get through it, don't worry, close your eyes now & pray until you fall asleep 🥰 I have a friend with anxiety like this. He often thinked about suicide & hurt himself, he went to therapy & psychiatrist too. Now, he can live happily together with his lover. Every time we meet again we just smile at each other, I'm happy he can look happy, we supported each other in high school. Actually, they are people with the softest hearts, that's why they become fragile when the world is so cruel.

[@k4o1w7l_]

Damn. Ngl every time i see a Noah Sebastian interview i learn more things about why i relate to the lyrics We basically been through alot of the exact same stuff. just in a different order of events

[@austinstone765]

Eiley is that song for me. Got the privilege to meet Keaton and goofy is very accurate. That song hits hard every time. Much respect to Noah for this.

[@silviasuarez1898]

This is a really nice series. I loved listening to why he loved the songs he did! Thanks for sharing Noah.

[@rochelkatz4868]

Oh my goshhhhh I'm crying 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Hearing Noah talk about Keaton is so heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. I'm so disappointed that I didn't discover Too Close to Touch before Keaton passed. He sounds like such a cool guy!! I really hope Bad Omens releases a song about Keaton, then we can all just cry 😭😭😭

[@secondson312]

Crazy he chose an As Cities Burn song they were one of my favorite bands growing up and not a lot of people know of them anymore

[@Meg_a_Tron]

the first time I heard Eiley was around the time of my dad's passing and it hit hard; one of my favorite songs because of the emotion. Heartbroken about Keaton's passing R.I.P.

[@Theveganlaowai]

Keaton’s sister and Keaton passing away as well is so heartbreaking. That poor family, hurts my heart so bad😢 it’s so hard losing someone you love so much. I lost my boyfriend who was my best friend in the world at 18 and It’s been over a decade now and I still cry at times bc I miss him so much, just a hole that never really went away :( it’s a different pain when you lose someone who is such an important part of your world& I truly hope Noah can heal and find peace by honoring his friend through creating amazing music that’ll help so many others in similar positions♥️

[@Kered-9]

Aurora is amazing. Saw Bad Omens twice this year, absolutely amazing live!

[@saragibson1504]

Too close to touch is an amazing band as well as bad omens. I’m so sad that we won’t hear any new songs from that beautiful voice. 💔 I would love to hear Noah cover some of their songs.

Such high respect for this man , really Noah thank you so much from a fans perspective, really you being vulnerable and real in this interview had me in tears. Everything you went through and all your hard work has created such beautiful art and music and I enjoy every single song with all my heart❤ thank you for such an amazing band and you guys deserve the universe keep making art!

[@ScarlettManson]

Aurora and Too Close to Touch have helped me through an incredibly dark year. The catharsis those two bring is incredible. Thank you for sharing, especially about Keaton. ❤

[@michellehodgson-smith8502]

I first fell in love with the album The Death of Piece of Mind. If it were not for the tribute to Keaton by Bad Omens, idk if I would have ever found Too Close to Touch. Listening to their whole discography, I would not be surprised if Keaton brought out Noah's more melodic, and downright angelic, vocals. I think Keaton may have been an inspiration to Noah. Look at the album covers Haven't Been Myself v The Death of Piece of Mind. What a lovely friendship, I'm glad Noah shared the details in this video!

[@comablac.k1312]

The fact that he put one of my fav songs on this list made my heart stop. TCTT is such a good band and this album especially. Got me through a hard time too.

[@whenifeeldown]

I was at that show in St. Pete the day after his passing and Bad Omens still put on a hell of a show. Don’t know how Noah did it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@the_grey_pilgrim]

and if you needed another reason to like this guy, he's wearing a LOTR shirt 🙌

[@llunavermella_bloodmoon]

Noah is very insightful, self-aware and reflective. On that sense, I feel very similar to him. I like hearing he likes Aurora because I noticed some of her influence on Bad Omens' music right away. I discovered them with their last album and it completely got me as a perfect target. I feel like he has let us see a bit more of him and his demons in this interview. Thank you for that, Noah. I hope he finds peace in his life. It feels like he works hard to achieve it.

[@stephanydiaz4324]

TCTT has gotten me through some tough times. It’s good to hear Noah talk about his feelings as he’s a super private dude.

[@taylorthompson7378]

TCTT was my favorite band. It is how I found bad omens. I still get sad about Keaton's death. I really love that Noah talked so highly of him. When I met Keaton he was sooo sweet && they made a facebook page for their fans where they completely interacted with everyone. It was so special.

[@Lexii-gr9sn]

Love this interview!

[@Alli-oops12]

It’s kinda fucked up of me, but comforting to hear someone else share their memories. It’s not just “I’m so sorry” or “RIP” Not that those are bad things to say. We got different hells that we can overcome (pun intended) and sometimes pausing to sit with the feelings and talk to others who listen can in turn, itself be kinda cathartic. It doesn’t go away and my friend cant be replaced and I dont want her to ever be. Sharing the good memories. Sad, but also thankful I got to make those memories. Plus the anxiety and panic attacks to look back and see it from a different perspective now. Even if those are still things that we all struggle with.
