Stick Season -unreleased original by Noah Kahan-

He sang this on an Insta live and I was lucky enough to get it on video :) I thought I would share because I loved it a lot and I want your ears to be blessed with this beautiful song as well😎

Check out his Insta

WOW. Hearing this hit the charts two years later makes me feel like a proud mom.

[indecisiveliv]

Noah makes me fall in love with places like Vermont and Maine when I've never even been there

[allyann]

The fact that he is recording this today which means it will be released soon makes my heart happy

[CarmenBeckett]

The alternative timeline where it’s “im fucked” instead of “stick season”

[oliviagabriel]

This should've been released. OMG.

[brucerhodes]

This song was huge here in Vermont for a short time before it ever went national, we'd hear it on the radio here and you knew it was going to take off across the country. Noah has been writing and touring for several years already, but this was his so called overnight success, his tour now includes larger venues, bigger cities... I think everyone in Vermont is proud of and happy for him.

Not me playing this on a loop for the entirety of this winter

[joshyoas]

I love finding unreleased gold, it spits in the face of the mainstream industry and keeps the art pure

"was i wrong to think that putting something good on all my bad would cancel out the darkness that i got from mom and dad"
i would die for this man, how tf did he put this into words so perfectly

[Dadgrug]

That chord after "Sticks" INCREDIBLE hook!

[Lucineschannel]

this man's music is so damn underrated

[AlexGriffithsPage]

This song slaps. I love hearing how this version compares to the studio version released last week. This is going to be amazing to see live!

[jaymadesmth]

This version is so good. It's hard to explain really but the way the guitar is played here is so unpredictable and full and I love how loud and passionate it grows as the the song intensifies!! It's so good, isn't it?

“I love Vermont
But it’s the season of the sticks
And I saw your mom
She forgot that I existed
And it’s half my fault
But I just like to play the victim
I’ll drink Alcohol
Till my friends come home for Christmas
And I dream each night
Of some version you
That I might not have
But one I did not lose”
Hits home oof

[fallonfranklinmusic]

Holy shit man. I heard this tonight on the radio and had to pull over the car. Hit me like a brick. Thank you actually saying something. I’m a singer-songwriter as well. Full time. When I hear something that moves me, which is rare, I have to say something.

As you promised me that I was more than all the miles combined
You must have had yourself a change of heart like halfway through the drive
Because your voice trailed off exactly as you passed my exit sign
Kept on driving straight and left my future to the right

Now I am stuck between my anger and the blame that I can't face
And memories
or something even smoking weed cannot replace
And I am terrified of weather cause when I see you- cause I see you when it rains

And doc told me to travel but there's covid on the planes

Now I am fucked
I'm fucked
And I suck
And you suck
And this sucks
Yeah I'm fucked


And I love Vermont but it's the season of the sticks
And I saw your mom and she forgot that I existed
And it's half my fault but I'm just fine to be the victim
I'll drink alcohol till my friends come home for Christmas


And I'll dream each night of some version of you
That I might not have but I did not lose
Now I'm tire tracks and one pair of shoes
And I'm split in half but that'll have to do



Was I wrong to think that putting something good in all my bad
Might have canceled out the darkness that I got from mom and dad
And I am scared of being funny cause I miss the way you laugh
You once called me forever now you will not call me back



And I love Vermont but it's the season of the sticks
And I saw your mom and she forgot that I existed
And it's half my fault but I'm just scared to play the victim
I'll drink alcohol until my friends come home for Christmas


And I'll dream each night of some version of you
That I might not have but I did not lose
Now you're tire tracks and one pair of shoes
And I'm split in half but that'll have to do

You promised me that I was more than all the miles combined
You must have had yourself a change of heart like halfway through the drive
Because your voice trailed off exactly as you passed my exit sign
You kept on driving straight and left our future to the right

And cause I love Vermont but it's the season of the sticks
And I saw your mom and she forgot that I existed
And it's half my fault but I just like to play the victim
I'll drink alcohol until my friends come home for Christmas

And I'll dream each night of some version of you
That I might not have but one I did not lose
Now I'm tire tracks and one pair of shoes
And I'm split in half but that'll have to do

[cryoshock]

"You once called me forever, now you won't call me back" and yet he still calls it "an absolutely terrible performance of this song" if this is bad I think I'll ascend when he releases what he considers the good one

[FacciaMar]

Damn! please release release release!!! This is pure GOLD

[nickterrencegantalao]

Noah Kahan totally does not know how to make bad songs, he always makes the greatest songs ever

[den.james]

I remember watching this (after the live) and I loved it. Hearing the changes is crazyyyy. Love it even more. Noah Kahan for Best New Artist!!! Grammys baby!
