Noah Kahan - Northern Attitude (Lyric Video)

Follow Noah Kahan:

Lyrics:
Breathing in, breathing out
How you been?
Settled down?

Feeling right?
Feeling proud?
How’re your kids?
Where are they now?

You build a boat
You build a life
You lose your friends
You lose your wife

You settle in
To routine
Where are you?
What does it mean?

If I get too close
and I’m not how you hoped
Forgive my northern attitude
Oh, I was raised out in the cold

If the sun don't rise
‘till the summertime
Forgive my northern attitude
Oh, I was raised on little light

Bought some shit
Search online
Getting lost
Getting high

All alone
Late in life
Scared to live
Scared to die

You build a boat
You build a life
You lose your kids
You lose your wife

Settle down
Feeling lost
Getting stoned
Then kicking rocks

If I get too close
and I’m not how you hoped
Forgive my northern attitude
Oh, I was raised out in the cold

If the sun don't rise
‘till the summertime
Forgive my northern attitude
Oh, I was raised on little light

If you get too close
and I’m not how you hoped
Forgive my northern attitude
Oh, I was raised out in the cold

If the sun don't shine
‘till the summertime
Forgive my northern attitude
Oh, I was raised on little light

"scared to live, scared to die" hits so damn hard, this is a masterpiece Noah

[Sara-fpzv]

It feels like this song has been playing in the background of my whole life but I'm only listening to it now.

[AcidPhos]

Finally, some music for us northern folks.

“I WAS RAISED ON LITTLE LIGHT” THAT PART IS SO SLEPT ON IM-

[bodinyatucker-fernando]

I swear all of Noah’s music is like therapy but in a conversation with you in a song.

[rubberdes]

Just listened to the full song, it brought me back to a time where I didn't have to worry about growing up or worrying. Weird how certain songs can tap into different emotions, it can be a kick in the gut or a kiss on the cheek. Thanks for the great song bud!

[ethanlawton]

Leaving this comment here so every-time someone likes it I’ll be reminded to come listen to this masterpiece…

[marianauribe]

I 100% see this song playing as a soundtrack of a coming of age movie type

[crouchingidiot]

This song feels like I’ve reached through time and I’m seeing my mother in every stage of her life. It feels like I’ve connected to her, and it breaks my heart and brings me so much comfort

[natc]

If I get to close, and I'm not how you hoped.... These lyrics explain how I feel about myself all the time. Just didn't know the words!

[shanievebantan]

I had to stop my car, pull over to listen properly...listening to it staring into the sky...wow what a beautiful song.

[crystaldelancey]

So so good. I'll be quoting, "Forgive my northern attitude." for the rest of my life.

[luca-qsye]

listening to this just makes me wanna jump around and scream by the seaside with friends while the sun is setting and everyone is having a great time XD. Oddly specific, but such a great vibe. You're amazing, Noah!! ✨.

[yvonnefacteau]

Heard this song and it stuck a cord with me and how I have been dealing with greif and the loss of my younger brother. I have done alot of soul searching and life is so much more complicated yet simplex in a symbiotic existence...we can not expect all relations and experience to be permanent. It's meant to be explored and lived.

[jacesaunders]

I’ve never clicked so fast i frickin love your music bro! Please never stop

[stonks]

my GOD every single one of his songs makes me all tingly inside. i can imagine this playing in the background of a young adult romance movie. two people running through fields together laughing and giggling until they’re out of breath and falling in love
