Lyrics:
I’ve been trying to tell you
But I just don’t have the words
Love is not an ocean or a panicking bird
It’s dancing and beating the drum
Staring down the sights along the barrel of a gun
Less the parts and more the sum
So hold your breath underwater
Till you’re strong enough to swim
Past the edge, so much farther
Than you have ever been
Call me
Call me by my name
Heaven knows that I’ve been carrying the shame
Of trying but never hard enough
Always folded when the dealer called my bluff
I always wanted something better
Always out of reach
So I’ll hold my breath
Underwater till I’m strong enough to swim
Past the edge, so much farther
Than I have ever been
I confess I’m scared of drowning
Just like I’ve always been
But all of this is meaningless
If I’m afraid of diving in
Hold your breath underwater
Till you’re strong enough to swim
Past the edge, so much farther
Than you have ever been
I confess I'm scared of drowning
Just like I’ve always been
But all of this is meaningless
If I’m afraid of diving in

Absolute perfection. Somehow always manage to simultaneously sound both new and like a song I've known my entire life.

[@jonathansanders7342]

This one reminds me of the Brian Eno song that plays at the end of an old Northern Exposure episode that featured Chris and Ed dancing with a crane on a riverbank. "Love is not an ocean / or a panicking bird / it's dancing / and beating the drum ..."

[@JoSpring]

Yes!

[@SilkToasts]

Just found this guy 10 minutes ago, and this comment is 100% legit.

[@adeneault1]

Very underrated artist. I love this song. Thanks for your music.

[@anne-mariezawadzki6901]

Noah's voice is pure bliss. Seeing him perform live in Toronto this past weekend left me (and I'm sure everyone else) in awe of such a gentle performance with great care. Beautiful songs with every album.

[@adamweston4152]

I'd never heard of Noah before until last night when I watched his video for ROUND HERE and he absolutely blew me away with the raw emotion he put into the song and I felt everything he was feeling whilst singing it and I have been watching his videos today and I am so impressed, I'm almost 54 and I have a very hard time finding any music that I like these days as there's so much crap out there these days so it's so refreshing to hear something that moves me so thanks Noah, I truly appreciate your talent, I've subscribed too.

[@anthonykasper7024]

Friend these are the Exact words I would have posted except I’m 63

[@relaxandmeditate7715]

I have so much respect and admiration for people who are poets, like this guy, and musical composers. The best of both worlds - words and music. Keep going, Noah. You're making a wonderful contribution to the world!

[@Mariaeu-2023]

I have no idea why the algorithm threw this my way but I'm glad it did. Nice one!

[@75chuckyc]

Such an amazing voice and great song. Went to the show in downtown Seattle yesterday and was amazed at how pure the live versions of your music was

[@BJDLove]

This is what I needed right now in my life. Thank you for always being a safe space for my heart.

[@luisgdr22]

Love your music Noah. Keep going man, can't wait for the album

[@LeviGangiMusic]

Simple and elegant with a heart wrenchingly beautiful chorus. Also love the spare and straightforward video. I am so lucky to have had Abby share her vocal and string arrangement gifts on some of my music - sending love and good vibes from the other coast!

[@jonathannyirenda9612]

we want more of this , absolutely perfect

[@lisamchale4948]

I just want to cry but in a good way. I love the laid back vocals and violin playing. How perfect is this song?🩷❤️💙🩷❤️💙

[@terryflood]

Whew, that's good.

[@walterb3renstein]

man, he sounds so good. I love how his voice has evolved over the years, it's really rounded out into a unique and awesome style.

[@geeteeay]

I’m from England, Nottingham specifically. either way I’ve gone to see Noah twice, once in Leeds and once in Manchester and that was my first time in both cities I was a fair bit younger than I am now I’ve been following him since, what a great musician not only that but what a great musical family Thank you for creating memories with me and my father too Love and support all the way ❤🎶

[@discoveryman59]

Noah Gundersen and family I hope you know just how important you are to people that have grown up with some of the very best musicians and songwriters in the history of music! You are without a doubt the quintessential reincarnation of the very BEST of the singer songwriters of the 60's to 70's you are a revelation to us older gen!!

[@DallasCoryell]

Beautiful song, Noah. I can definitely identify with the sentiment.

[@alittlebitlonger199]

thank you for your music, dude. so good.

[@nathancrowell9596]

I’ve been listening to this for two days and I start crying every time. It’s perfect. The arrangement is perfect, understated and the production is just right. All the elements flow in and out seamlessly. His voice is perfect, delivery is perfect. So beautiful and heart wrenching.

[@Jin3011]

[@lfcreative1]

my favorite song from the album! Though hard to choose only 1 favorite as it is a brilliant album from start to finish. But the powerful honesty of this song and the drive of the chorus is always an instant motivator to me.

[@vedransaric]

[@Zimmy45]

incredible as always, i think you literally cant release anything that isnt amazing.

[@pablovegamusic]

Maravilloso como siempre… Este señor tiene la capacidad acariciar el alma con sus canciones. P.D; la banda brutal y la violinista en especial tiene una sutileza espectacular para tocar y compactar con la voz de Noah.

[@laurieking9109]

The violinist is his sister Abby…she’s wonderful.

[@pablovegamusic]

@@laurieking9109 es una pasada, siempre le da un toque que creo que ya es imprescindible en la musica de Noah. Su hermana?? Que maravilla.

[@jboughtin7522]

Nice song and arrangement

[@e.m.8094]

Pretty sure I listened to this 10 times in a row the other day.

[@ledasbueno]

Perfection 🥹🙌🏽

[@GabrielCalcan]

Superb!🙂

[@Mariaeu-2023]

O amor é um caminho ariscado..., quem se aventura nele não sabe bem onde vai dar, mas sabe que precisa tentar. É inevitável, mesmo que tenhamos que" It’s dancing and beating the drum". Vale sempre a pena!☝🏼🎶🎧📱🎶💓🤩

[@ianterada6821]
