“I only got to know Noah Gundersen one hour ago through a friend's strong suggestion, and I liked his songs from the start. It's whisper folk, tender and beautiful, and "Jesus, Jesus" has amazing lyrics. Recommended to anyone who is into Damien Rice or Joshua Radin.”

- Track Name: Ring A Bell

it starts with whisper
a shimmering light
a blink of a flash bulb
and bats in the night
most people don't notice
most people don't care
but how could i blame them
when i have been there
but now its driving me crazy
its driving me mad
i can't find no rhythm
and i'm pissed at the band
but i would rather be crazy
i would rather be mad
than lost in the silence
hollow and drab
so i will try my best
keeping secrets from the world
such a strong and witty world
its out of my league
and if you're not impressed
why don't you try it for yourself
in front of everybody else
as the band begins to play
i slept with an angel
or maybe a queen
i never talked to the devil
but he's been talking to me
i swallowed an ocean
an ocean of wine
and the fruit pickers daughters
are just grapes on the vine
so if you see me at showtime
looking like hell
i was up after midnight
looking like hell
so i will try my best
keeping secrets from the world
such a strong and witty world
its out of my league
and if you're not impressed
why don't you try it for yourself
in front of everybody else
as the band begins to play - Track Name: Caroline

caroline my baby
caroline my sweet
if i married caroline
so happy i would be
i wouldn't need no whiskey
i wouldn't need no wine
wouldn't need much of anything
if caroline was mine
her daddy is a preacher
and may he rot in hell
i'd sell my soul to satan for
a bucket from your well
i know that he don't like me
i know he'll disapprove
but i'm gonna marry caroline
if it's the last thing that i do
if i was a painter
i'd put you down in paint
i'd hang you by the mona lisa
and put that girl to shame
or if i was a sailor
and i sailed the seven seas
i'd row across the ocean
just to bring you home with me
oh caroline my baby
oh caroline my sweet
you make a man go crazy
why won't you come to me
'cause i've been feeling lonesome
and feeling kinda blue
i think i'd rather die
than to be away from you
but she said boy
you know you've caught my eye
and i know you're sweeter than
apple pie
but i like my man completely wild
so baby keep on trying
caroline my baby
caroline my sweet
i'm gonna marry caroline - Track Name: Oh Death
-
when death and all his angels find you
will you call out
will you call out
when death and all his angels catch you
will you cry out
will you cry out
at the end of the line
there's no more time
and you go it alone
you can never come home
at the end of the line
from dust and ashes i have called you
and dust you shall become
in the end
from dust and ashes i have called you
and dust you shall become
in the end
oh death
oh death
where is your sting
at the end of the line
there's no more time
and you go it alone
you can never come home
at the end of the line - Track Name: The Ocean
-
set your eyes love
set your eyes
oh west against the morning
'cause i had no warning of this
when they come to wake me up
set your sights love
set your sights
oh far across the ocean
'cause if i never touched to ocean
i would only come back home to sleep
but oh my sight
am i alright
am i alright
cut your ties love
cut your ties
and say i never knew you
but they'll see right through you
and you cannot run and hide
but keep the faith love
keep the faith
though i know it's gonna bring you
i know it's gonna bring you down
but though the devil may not take you
you never will escape this love
but oh my sight
am i alright
am i alright
but still this burning in my throat
is going through all of the motions
and i will someday come to my home
and maybe one day i will reach the ocean - Track Name: Jesus, Jesus
-
jesus jesus can you tell me what the problem is
with the world and all the people in it
because i've been hearing stories about the end of the world
but i'm in love with a girl and i don't want to leave her
and the television screams
such hideous things
and they're talking about the war on the radio
they say the whole things gonna blow
and we will all be left alone
no we'll be dead and we won't know what hit us
jesus jesus if you're up there won't you hear me
'cause i've been wondering if you're listening for quite a while
jesus jesus it's such a pretty place we live in
and i know we've fucked it up but please be kind
don't let us go out like the dinosaurs
or blown to bits in a third world war
there are a hundred different things i'd like to do
i'd like to climb to the top of the eiffel tower
look up from the ground at a meteor shower
and maybe even raise a family
jesus jesus there are those who say they love you
but they have treated me so goddamn mean
and i know you said forgive them
for they know not what they do
but sometimes i think they do
and i think about you
and if all the heathens burn in hell
do all their children burn as well
what about the muslims and the gays and the unwed mothers
and what about me and all my friends
are we all sinners if we sin
does it even matter in the end
if we're unhappy
jesus jesus i'm still looking for answers
though i know that i won't find them here tonight
but jesus jesus could you call me if you have the time
maybe we could meet for coffee and work it out
maybe then i'd understand what it's all about - Track Name: Middle of June
-
time is a cold wind blowing through the leaves
of a tired old tree i sit beneath
where i think about the world and i don't know how
what will happen to us now
peace is a ladder up to the clouds
that i'm wishing i could climb but i don't know how
so would you lend me a hand to the promised land
where i'm headed
glory bound
and it comes and it goes
where it's headed no one knows
and we come and we go
all the saints and the liars
sitting by the fire
what will happen to us now
hatred is a sharp knife held by the blade
cutting in your palm till you feel no pain
burning in your eyes with a righteous rage
till the ashes blow away
love is a thing that you can't define
though you try with all your might through the riddles and rhymes
it'll fly you like a kite
it'll throw you to the ground
but that's the best thing i have found
and it comes and it goes
where it's headed no one knows
and we come and we go
like the winter and the spring
losing everything
just to gain it back again
oh how pretty is the middle of june
