Noah Kahan - Tumblr Posts

This song has my FUCKING HEART😭😭😭😭

oh oh incoming regulus edit (someone stop me this is going to be sad)

sometimes i decide to actually pay attention and listen to some lyrics for the hundredth time and realize how PERFECT they are (i’ll go back to therapy soon i promise)

Noah Kahan x Hozier Converse i customized for my concert this month. God I'm so normal about this song I promise

"Ride like Paul Revere"

''Til our fingers decompose Keep my hand in yours"

"I dial drunk, I'd die a drunk, I'd die for you"

noah kahan: to know me is to hate me is to hate what i’ve become

me, eating kettle corn and reading fanfiction: fuck yeah

hc that Sam loves Noah Kahan, and that's what he was listening to with the iPod in the Impala when Dean was in purgatory. specifically Everywhere, Everything because he feels like that's his song to Dean.

she calls me back

(Title from Noah Kahan song, obv. Even though it’s like very tangentially related.) 

Uhhhh I dunno, cutesy little autumn vibes drabble. Context for said drabble is neither my monkey nor my problem. I haven’t written fanfiction in like seven years so please forgive me if I’m rusty, trying to tap back into my tweenhood whims idk to be cringe is to be free and all that jazz. Enjoy :-)

The early autumn wind whipped through the platform as the train pulled into the station. Loid held onto Anya’s hand tightly to prevent her from running off in such a crowded and dangerous place. His mind raced, and anxiety rolled off him in waves. Anya clung to his hand, no doubt feeding off her father’s anxiety. 

With his free hand, Loid handed Yor her suitcase. She took it with a small smile. 

“Have a safe trip,” He returned the smile, but she could tell he was tense. He always was when they were separated.

She planted a kiss on his cheek. “Don’t worry about me. We both know I can handle myself perfectly fine.”

Loid relaxed, albeit marginally. “Of course. I’ve been on the receiving end of your self-defense tactics. Anyone who threatens you has another thing coming.” 

Anya tugged at the hem of his sweater, and Loid picked her up and settled her on his hip. She looked dreadfully close to tears, which only made Loid more nervous. Over a year of parenting, and he still wasn’t very good with the comforting part. 

Luckily, Yor was. She gently tapped the tip of Anya’s nose with her index finger. “You don’t need to worry about me either, little one. You’re lucky Loid is staying with you, or you’d have to put up with my cooking.”

Anya smiled at that. “Mama is a bad cook.”

Before Yor could reply in mock offense, the train whistle blew.

“You’d better get going, dear,” Loid said, “Or you’ll miss your train.”

“You’re right,” Yor kissed Anya’s forehead and gave Loid a quick peck before turning to approach the train. 

Loid caught her hand and pressed his lips to her knuckles. “Call me when you arrive, I want to know you got there safely.”

Yor’s cheeks were dusted pink. Even after actually being married (or what everyone else interpreted as them renewing their vows), she still wasn’t quite used to all the casual affection Loid gave her. 

But still, she promised, “I wouldn’t dream of doing anything else first.”

Noah Kahan’s music touches a deep part of my soul. Not just because it sounds good (because let’s be honest it sounds amazing) but because his lyrics are truly poetry and it makes so many people with so many different backgrounds and experiences feel seen and understood in a way that not many musicians can while also staying truthful to himself. His lyrics are the truth and even through songs where he talks about things he went through, his mistakes, (ex. Dial Drunk) he’s still honest, he doesn’t sugar coat things or try to paint himself in a different light which is one of the reasons why his music is so good. People can relate to something that is human, mistakes and anger and grief and that empty feeling he addresses in so many of his songs, is human. Anyway I’m probably not explaining this well but I love Noah Kahan and if you haven’t heard of him go check him out please he’s awesome :)

Listening to Growing Sideways by Naoh Kahan, what's stuck in my head is "everybody do the weenis! The weenis is a dance! Everybody is a genius! Who knows it in advance"

reblog w the song lyrics in your head NOW. either stuck in yr head or what yr listening to

noah kahan really said growing up in a small, bitter hometown is about the rage and the hatred that's been sung about many times before but it's also about love and devotion and the 'all three of us were drowning and we didn't know how to save each other but there was an understanding that we were all drowning together' of it all and knowing people so intimately yet not being able to help anyone and he's morally grey at best in a lot of his songs and objectively the bad guy in others and that's just how it is and it's about substance abuse and normalised crime and teen suicide and country roads and failed exams and leaving and being left and love and hate and love and hate and love and

some photos from today + my roadtrip 🖤

more sad poetry because it’s been a while

just dyed my hair suddenly not suicidal anymore

paul revere is a pretty decent song up until the bridge/outro and then it suddenly becomes the best song ive ever heard in my life
