Lyrics:
Sometimes I think I'm a killer
Scared you in your house
Even scared myself by talking
About Dahmer on your couch
But I can't sleep next to a body
Even harmless in death
Plus I'm pretty sure I'd miss you
Faking sleep to count your breath
Can the killer in me tame the fire in you?
Is there nothing left to do for us?
I am sick of the chase
But I'm hungry for blood
And there's nothing I can do
But when I'm sick and tired
When my mind is barely there
When a machine keeps me alive
And I'm losing all my hair
I hope you kiss my rotten head
And pull the plug
Know that I've burned every playlist
And given all my love
Can the killer in me tame the fire in you?
I know there's something waiting for us
I am sick of the chase
But I'm stupid in love
And there's nothing I can do
And there's nothing I can do
Nothing ever comes like it did
When you were in it just a memory of a kid
Just a washed-out finish
Just a pain-in-the-ass Johnny
Cash middle finger
No shooting up drugs, no quitter is a winner
Nothing ever comes like it did
When you were in it
Keeping nothing for yourself like
A stone cold killer
Now you're passing your people like
A ship in the night
Looking to every stranger for a fight
Nothing ever comes, ever comes if you call it
Choking like a dog, like a dog on a collar
Open up your mouth, your mouth if you want it
Listen for the sound, the sound
The sound is coming down
Hoping that you like
That you like how you're living
Relying on the kindness of strangers
That you will be forgiven how many times
How many times will you shit
On what you're given? How many times
How many times 'til you shut up and listen?
Nothing ever comes, ever comes if you call it
Choking like a dog, like a dog on a collar
Open up your mouth, your mouth if you want it
Listen for the sound, the sound
The sound is coming down
Nothing ever comes, ever comes
Choking like a dog, like a dog
Open up your mouth
Listen for the sound, the sound, the sound
The sound is coming
Nothing ever comes, ever comes if you call it
Choking like a dog, like a dog on a collar
Open up your mouth if you want it
Listen for the sound, the sound, the sound
The sound is coming down

One of the best recordings ever made, 10/10 for sure

[@carpeimodiem]

You're dead wrong. Each of them recorded a perfect 10. So... combined, they achieved the impossibly rare, illustriously coveted: 20/10. i mean how dare you 😉

The most beautiful 8 minutes of human existence ever recorded.

[@gregscott197]

I find myself coming back to this track so much, its just beautiful and pure, its hard to not get emotional.

[@roguemod1551]

1 year today since you left me here with this hole I can't fill . It hurts more each day . God will bring us together soon . I love you .

[@jasonmiradoli8900]

I’ve introduced this to everyone I care about since finding this early in quarantine, on another user’s page. I’m 55, divorced a few years, father of 3 adult kids - basically, I don’t think I’m the target demographic of Noah…or Phoebe. But that’s what happens when you create one of the moving performances I’ve heard in 5 1/2 decades - your genius transcends any target demographic. The fact that The Sound can be as powerful played at any tempo, with any instrumentation, and even coming out of a song like The Killer - puts it in the league of the perfect songs that are equally flexible. And those harmonies with Abby. Damn. Thank you for this. I saw Phoebe at Forest Hills summer of 2022, and wanted a second night to see Noah last month when he came to NYC. But I will see him. Get the VIP ticket. And hopefully thank him. This is perfection.

[@maureenwoodard9588]

I’m 63 widowed and am just now finding out about this phenomenon , omg I’m blown away

[@MattyIce2584]

Welcome to the club. ❤ His live shows are almost spiritual.

[@marybendall1101]

I am a single 66 year woman and love this performance more than I can say. I’ve tried to introduce others to it also. Sometimes people have to discover in their own way. One of the most beautiful songs I know.

[@JasonBuchanan-g7p]

Thank you! Beautiful

[@arkiscybernalia]

well said 😊

[@omnamobhagavatevasudevayas9897]

It,s so wonderfull. It comes like a wave in the silence . So peacefull.

[@carpeimodiem]

I've easily watched this 100 times, Noah. It was one of the first things I got to see after discovering your work. Which was when I saw your incredibly moving live cover of Tiny Changes right after Scott died. Thank you for that, btw. I don't know if you look at comments. But I always wanted to ask you about that black eye. Talk about a "poetic moment". And so appropo, lyrically speaking, for a duet of The Sound. If this was the totality of everything you and Phoebe ever did, it would still be one of the most timeless, beautiful moments in all of the arts. Everyone is heading to the grave in their own time. It must be quite a comfort to leave something this special behind. ❤

[@ogenmatic]

Lots of folks have the ability to make music with a piano but Noah & Abby create raw emotion which pairs so nicely with Phoebe’s vocals

[@Phoenixrising2022]

Bone chillingly, transformative. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you 🙏

[@peytonpepper12]

One of the most important pieces of music I’ve ever listened to. Thank you Noah!

[@TaurusVenus]

So much tenderness here. I love these harmonies (and the beautiful piano!). 🙏💗🎶

[@amymbeauty8765]

This was just, wow. I feel like my heart and soul just got ripped open, layed bare, then stitched back together, in the best way. Brilliant by everyone involved!

[@paulhunter3247]

This never loses any emotion no matter how many times I watch it. Looking for some European tour dates for 2024. Please come back to Dublin again! 🇮🇪 ❤️

[@joshuarineobigtas9095]

[@LacrimarvmValle]

Ever since you first uploaded it those many years ago i find myself singing it out of the blue when cleaning or drawing or just letting my mind blank, its the first thing that comes to my mind when im not thinking. Really beutiful arrangement! ❤

[@Rebwell]

I saw him in concert a few years ago and I swear it was someone else. It was all like Dance music 😂 I don’t regret for a second, I can say I saw him - but not the mood I was expecting with all the slow soulful songs I fell in love with. I could see that would be depressing to only play those songs but maybe one or two? Lol

[@user-hugknfddh]

So much soul ❤️

[@MichaelLucas-d5q]

Brilliant collaboration… Two of the most important songwriters and performers…..Poetry, relevant social imagery…..and significant cultural influencers….

[@tessiegirl2000]

Excellent!!😊

[@nolanfoxmusic]

The best! Love this video. It's a part of my mental archive of favorite performances and collabs of all time.

[@joshspear]

Such a beautiful performance!! This is up at the top of the list of impactful performances. I can feel the weight of every note and lyric in a deeply meaningful sense. The melodies, and harmonies, and simplicity, and empathy pack a punch in this one.

[@headerie]

This never gets old! You guys always amaze me. I'm a White Noise girl! ❤

I'm crying listening to this because I lived it! I'm in pure awe right now! I just don't even know how someone could write something so perfect! 💔😭🙏❤️‍🩹

Looks like Noah ain’t scared to throw them hands either. Good on it!

[@NelsonHopp]

I used to play with Noah a bit when I was in the Seattle jazz scene. He's not a fighter. He got sucker punched at a bar a couple days before this was recorded, pretty messed up scenario honestly.

[@kennym4h48]

Hmm I think it never was on his channel, but only on Dead Ocean's.

[@jolizclarke3750]

I'm speechless and I'm a tough critic.

[@faigler]

This is unrelated (I can't say anything better than everyone already has. This mashup entrances me. It gets inside me and it's also on the top of my 'anxiety attack' playlist to calm me down.) BUT. I'm always curious if 1979 is a reference to the song by Smashing Pumpkins, or to an older family member.

[@JasonBuchanan-g7p]

Me too. Definitely healing from any angle. I've never felt this before. I just found him 3 songs ago. God pointed him out and his tenderness is like nothing from this world.
