Noah Kahan - Howling (Official Audio)

Follow Noah Kahan:

Lyrics:
Where to begin? Oh let’s pretend we never met so I can disappear a moment
I’ve been tryna swim with both my hands behind my back my dear I always feared the ocean
And somehow this one word in my mouth was left unspoken
And I won’t admit my parents split when I got sick but I’ll refuse to be a burden

And I said

Is there something keeping me here for the minute darlin’?
Did you find the key and what is the meaning of it?
Cuz honey sometimes I feel this emptiness
Howling out

Is there something keeping me here for the minute darling?
Did I lose my mind and am I still looking for it?
Cuz I don’t know why I feel this emptiness
Howling out
Howling out

“You’re not alone” the world is small and I am sick of all the talk of finding purpose
Love comes and goes but the big black dog he trails along am I the only one who knows him?
Somehow I gained 15 pounds but lost my focus
And I suffocate things slow until I’m just a black fly circling my bullshit

Is there something keeping me here for the minute darlin’?
Did you find the key and what is the meaning of it?
Cuz honey sometimes I feel this emptiness
Howling out

Is there something keeping me here for the minute darling?
Did I lose my mind and am I still looking for it?
Cuz I don’t know why I feel this emptiness
Howling
Howling

Deep blue, deep blue, 05072
Deep blue, deep blue, 05072

Where to begin? Oh let’s pretend we never met so I can disappear a moment
I’ve been tryna swim with both my hands behind my back my dear I always feared the ocean

Is there something keeping me here for the minute darlin’?
Did you find the key and what is the meaning of it?
Cuz honey sometimes I feel this emptiness
Howling out

So tell me one thing keeping me here for the minute darling
If I leave you now then what’s out there waiting for me?
I don’t know why I feel this emptiness
Howling out
Howling

For those wondering, “05072” is both the zip code for Stratford, Vermont, where Noah grew up, and the color code for “Deep Cove, Midnight Blue”. Masterful songwriting right there.

I feel bad for everybody who hasn't heard Noah sing.
Every. Single. Song from each album is amazing

[trixiealysson]

He's such an underrated artist. He deserves so much more

[FikF.]

These songs aren't overproduced. The lyrics are powerful. The music is simple yet so heartbreakingly beautiful. Can't help but love this. I love this.

[ShelbythePlain]

The lyricism is truly beautiful. I never thought a line like "And I suffocate things slow until I’m just a black fly circling my bullshit" would hit me so hard. This whole album is amazing.

[heybella]

“Love comes and goes, the big black dog he trails along, am i the only one who knows him?”

Damn.

[kurosan]

Dude i’m 20 seconds in and i immediately knew that this song only deserves to be heard in a mid night drive.. Which i did and happy that i did

[Gordon_Ramshackles]

I will be listening to this album on repeat until everyone ik gets annoyed by how much I've been listening to it

[farnessdani]

im so proud of him, his voice is so relaxing and beautiful

[nicolasblack]

“Love comes and goes but the big black dog, he trail along, am I the only one who knows him?” This line is definitely my favourite

[miSSdbaby]

Beautifully written, I feel it’s about depression and anxiety it’s like the darkness dances with you and “Howlin” out in the night to you.

[jof]

Noah's music makes me want to smile and jam to it and also cry and hug myself all at once.

[kishiyami]

A person whose sick of life. Wondering why their still waiting. Calling out for someone who kept them waiting but that someone is not coming back.

[JN.S.M]

Wow. Every line is more intricate than the other and hearing it all in one song is too broken to handle without feeling overwhelmed yet weirdly less alone and understood at the same time. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[TheaSpeedy]

I'm playing this over an over again!!! This whole album is a master piece!!

[jukeskylar]

Somehow, this hit right where it hurts...

[makenametje]

I’m actually sitting here with my headphones crying to this. Your music is art and sounds like poetry. Forever grateful for your music

[makenametje]

How can I already fall In love with this song after only hearing the first 2 SECONDS !!

[stevenpotts]

How have I just found out about him now, what an album 👏

Lyrics:
Where to begin? Oh, let's pretend we never met so I can disappear a moment
Been tryna swim with both my hands behind my back, my dear, I always feared the ocean
And somehow this one word in my mouth was left unspoken
And I won't admit my parents split when I got sick but I'll refuse to be a burden



And I said
Is there something keeping me here for the minute, darling?
Did you find the key and what is the meaning of it?
'Cause honey, sometimes I feel this emptiness
Howling out



Is there something keeping me here for the minute, darling?
Did I lose my mind and am I still looking for it?
'Cause I don't know why I feel this emptiness
Howling out
Howling out



You're not alone, the world is small and I am sick of all the talk of finding purpose
Love comes and goes but the big black dog, he trails along, am I the only one who knows him?
Now, and somehow I gained fifteen pounds but lost my focus
And I suffocate things slow until I'm just a black fly circling my bullshit



Oh
Is there something keeping me here for the minute, darling?
Did you find the key and what is the meaning of it?
'Cause honey, sometimes I feel this emptiness
Howling out



Is there something keeping me here for the minute, darling?
Did I lose my mind and am I still looking for it?
I don't know why I feel this emptiness
Howling out
Howling out



Deep blue, deep blue, 05072
Deep blue, deep blue, 05072



Where to begin? Oh, let's pretend we never met so I can disappear a moment
I've been tryna swim with both my hands behind my back, my dear, I always feared the ocean

And I said


Is there something keeping me here for the minute, darling?
Did you find the key, then what is the meaning of this?
'Cause honey, sometimes I feel this emptiness
Howling out



Tell me one thing keeping me here for the minute, honey
But if I leave you now then what's out there waiting for me?
I don't know why I feel this emptiness
Howling out
