Gundersen, Noah - Dying Now Lyrics

He's only about 26 but he's 100 years old. Some people don't need to grow up. They were old and wise when they were born.

Lyrics:
Sail on, gypsy of my heart
You've been hanging around
Been with me from the start
Sail on, sail on silver girl
You've been spinning me fast
Like a tilt-a-whirl

I've done a lot of living
In this town
I've done a lot of flying
My feet on the ground
You can't build your bridges
After you've burned them down
I've done a lot of living
But I'm dying now

How long, how long should it take
For you to learn your lessons from all your mistakes?
How long until the well runs dry
Your bucket's coming up empty
You're wondering why

You've done a lot of living
In this town
You've done a lot of flying
Your feet on the ground
You can't build your bridges
After you burn them down
You've done a lot of living
But you're dying now

Dying now

So long
Everything must go
I can't leave it behind
If I've never really known
So long to "nothing matters now, "
Who knows if I stand a chance?
But I'm trying anyhow

Cause I've done a lot of living
In this town
I've done a lot of flying
My feet on the ground
You can't build your bridges
After you burn them down
I've done a lot of living
But I'm dying now

Anybody else get strong Arthur and Mary vibes while listening to this?

This is so fucking good.

I've done a lot of living in a lot of towns and I definitely felt like I'm dying now. I have a year clean now and it was the hardest year of my life. By God's grace I am now at the end of the tunnel and have found the light and it's just going to get brighter from here on out. I just discovered Noah today he's amazing I'm definitely a new fan. music is one of the greatest drugs and the power of healing it holds is potent stuff, thanks Noah! anyone reading this who is in the same boat as I'm in, it does get better! I mean we're here right still alive, think of all our brothers and sisters who are not. God does have a plan for each and everyone of us,talk to him,trust in him, be humble, patient & open minded. everything else will fall in place! God bless...

Christ the man writes like an old, wise man. Such clarity of thought and somber knowledge. Absolutely stone cold genius. Ever since I heard Family I was hooked. Long may he play.

2018 and i'm still love this version. <3

my baby sister took her life on August 31st 2015....... she idolized noah, passionately. This was one of the very important songs that she had left on her phone. His music meant the world to her and inspired her to keep going. She got me hooked. His music means alot to all of us.
So so much love. <3

AMANDA WHITTINGTON as people we tend to remember the bad things easier than the good. If you're walking & stub your toe you remember but if you find a quarter you may not even stop to pick it up. Try to see the little things that are good not just bad. Never allow others to ruin your inner peace.

Mackenzie Buist sorry to hear that my older brother was in a double suicide when he was 15 and I was 13

Mackenzie Buist I'm really sorry. I'm legit about to cry after reading this 😟

I always come to this song..and I see this comment once again and it's so sad and good to see you guys are alive

Very sorry for your loss

Why is 2 chains famous again?

Now this's REAL MUSIC!!! From the heart

BRAVO!!!

Just tears right through me. I am so happy real musicians still exist, who have the ability to write songs like this. They are so inspiring to everything we do as well...

That old soul. Keeps music alive!

love this song !

LOVE IT, THANKS FOR TURNING ME ON TO THIS KIND OF MUSIC. DEEP, NOT COUNRTY, JUST BEAUTIFUL AND MEANINGFUL. SAW YOU ON CBS THIS MORNING NEWS. HAD TO REALLY CHECK YOU AND ABBY OUT. I AM A FAN NOW!!! IS THIS SONG ON THEW RADIO YET?

Such a song, such a musician, such voices, such a perfection ❤️

What a great song. 

I could listen to this song over and over. The way they paint a picture with words outs breath taking. Raw talent right here.

First song Ive ever heard from Noah and this lovely lady, and my mind is completely blown.  Truth be known, they hit a spot, and i shed a tear.  I'm gonna listen again, and be stuck in this moment for a while.  Then listen to everything else they have ever released.  They just gained a fan, and I'm stoked for my future findings from these guys.  10\10.

@witchsabbath13  - That lovely lady is his sister Abby. She is a talent, too! You can buy his stuff on itunes. "Saints & Liars" is one of my all time favs ~ but I've enjoyed everything he's created. VERY TALENTED songwriting, IMHO!

This song absolutely blows my mind. It is truly a work of art and an outpouring of the human soul.

I love it when a person is willing to lay their feelings out there and let themselves bleed a little.
I could be off but I felt a struggle and pain and seriously felt there were times in my life in which that song could completely relate.
So this brings me to comments below about talent.

You do need talent to get somewhere. However, I have met people who had to work hard and they had so little talent that it was that blood, sweat and tears with years of hard work that earned them an audience. On the other hand I have met people who are bubbling over with talent and they would rather sleep on it.

Who wins out in the end if both sides of the spectrum puts forth a sincere fight...the one we like. We like their style, looks, sound and so forth. Really, that is why there are so many different venues of music.

So as for Noah Gundersen, I do not care what category he fits in with talent...I like his music and I will keep listening!

Yeah, like that!

You made me smile with this comment. Thank you.

@Sávio Martins
You are most welcome. Share that smile with someone that will also pass it along. This world has a shortage of such beautiful things.
Bless you now and forever! <3

typo in the description. his quote at the end.

and what's wrong with Black Sessions? Racist much.

because black sessions would include rap and looting, and no talent

i know u r joking, but to answer your question i think it is about the white cube aesthetics. look it up if u will.

Such a beautiful song. So many feelings.

https://soundcloud.com/evan-dempsey/dying-now-noah-gundersen-cover check out my cover of this song, its not even close to this good but i love their music and i had to do a version (:

This just made me stop everything I was doing to listen. So arrestingly beautiful

Odd use of arrest there... lol.

Seriously, i could listen to this guy all day and never tire of his music. I wish more artists today were this honest and simple in their music.

I melt when Abby comes in, every time.

Me, too. Beautiful.

awesomeness. that is all

Best show I've seen in a long time. Sorry you couldn't get a double Jameson.

Truly amazing

To the people say this is talent: I'm not bashing you, but I personally disagree. I agree that the Gundersens have talent, but 90% of this came from hard work. I'm not saying this to discredit the Gundersens. Quite the contrary. They were not born with the ability to create and perform something like this. It took great effort for them to get there. Noah wrote tons of songs, some of them awful no doubt, and slept in cars and on couches to get by while doing his craft in the beginning.
This also leads into my quarrel with the overall hype about talent. People do not want to hear that it is always trumped by hard work, even though it's true. It allows them the luxury of downplaying their own potential.

Anyways, wonderful stuff from Noah and the gang as always <3 Big fan!

hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard. I believe the gundersens have incredible talent but their talent shows because they work hard. I could work as hard as I want and never be as good as them. this is why only certain people make it and some don't I've seen a lot of people work extremely hard and never make it. I do appreciate the thoughts about how hard they work though I am not arguing with you on that. but this is talent and hard work

By that logic though, there's no such thing as talent.  There's only luck or hard work.

i just believe that luck is opportunity and if you work hard you have more opportunity. once you have those opportunities you can allow your talent to show, i could work as hard as i want and be lucky but i don't have the talent to write music like this. his ability to write is his talent. I could be wrong but thats just how i see it.

i believe that anything you do in this life requires hard work. Yes in some cases people get handed success without any effort at all; but for the most part, anything you do requires hard work. I believe Noah and his family/friends are definitely talented, but they did not have this recognition given to them on a silver platter. ANYTHING in life requires work and effort. Whether its working 70 plus hours a week to provide for your family, or practicing every chance you get and getting shitty gigs just so you have more people to hear your music.

+Cody Lakin just because you have talent, doesnt mean you have everything handed to you on a silver platter. It takes EFFORT and hard WORK to have that talent recognized. There are so many people who have great talent, but are never recognized or rewarded for the sole reason of laziness. So yes, everything is earned by luck and hard work

So much beautiful, raw talent.

AGHHHH I LOVE THIS

Best ever.

Love all of your videos. One day I hope to do A White Session!

Shared, liked, added to favourites... Beautiful!

expected nothing less. Beautiful, you two. Just beautiful.

Amazing as always.
