Gundersen, Noah - Robin Williams Lyrics






One way or another, it's gonna make its presence known
From one monkey to another, you can't lose what you don't own
It's ok if you get anxious, just please don't call the cops
There's a couple things I'm sure of and a whole lot more I'm not

There's a sentimental value to the memory of love
It's a pretty looking rainbow, what does it remind you of
Is it somewhere there's a heart of gold that's never gonna rust
Or it's a hard rain honey but it's never gonna flood

Despite all my reservations, I've been doing this for years
Hoping that some magic touch would finally make it clear
But when it all comes crashing down, I'm still standing here
Looking at the same face, in the same place, just a different kind of mirror

Nothing lasts forever and every other trope
I guess it just depends on how much DMT you smoked
But when I think of Robin Williams at the end of his rope
It makes no difference what you're making, the reaper makes the final joke

So I gather my impressions of the universal sigh
And hope that someone's listening to their radio tonight
Though it doesn't really matter with so many come before
And who the hell are we fooling, no one buys records any more

  1. k.... ....

    I think, not only is this guy a lyrical genius of unparalleled ability, which makes this song so haunting, but the music is eerie and amazing...it’s perfect. Unreal.

  2. t.... b....

    I buy records

  3. M.... o....

    Beautiful

  4. L.... A....

    Yea, I'm crying

  5. j.... ....

    BTW, some of us certainly do buy albums, and we rip them and put them away for safe-keeping. <3
    And lots of people I know buy records, they're really strange folks, and I fucking love them. <3

  6. W.... N....

    I talked to a couple on the train on the way home and they went to his concert in Vancouver tonight. They told me about him and I looked him up just now, and am very happy. :D

  7. D.... N....

    GOD is the definition of love, on earth Robin was the definition of Love Thank you for this beautiful tribute. RIP Robin I pray you found peace.😇😇😇

  8. S.... D....

    Welcome back Noah! I missed you brother

  9. J.... B....

    I heard this song awhile back and it didn't move me.... but now I just watched the video and I'm balling my eyes out. I love Noah.

  10. T.... ....

    That line about Robin Williams is gut wrenching...

  11. A.... B....

    Such a beautiful track !

  12. P.... H....

    Brilliant!

  13. J.... W....

    Slim shady looking

  14. J.... V....

    I already thought this song was amazing, but for some reason this music video kicked it up another notch. The simplicity. The way you feel the lyrics through his expressions and environment. It's something special ❤

  15. A.... M....

    This man. This glorious man. His song cigarettes got me through a terrible breakup. And ledges helped me pick up the pieces. To the lyrics of day is gone I cried when I lost my grandparents. He's been there, I hope he doesn't disappear.

  16. A.... M....

    I know he's considered indie folk, but to me, this is the closest to modern country I'll ever get to. This to me sounds like the old school country I enjoy.

  17. W.... P....

    Robin Williams vs I forgot that you existed
    Crystal Creek vs Cruel Summer
    Lover vs Lover
    Watermelon vs The Man
    Lose You vs The Archer
    Out of time vs I think he knows
    Audrey Hepburn vs Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince
    Older vs Paper Rings
    Wild Horses vs Cornelia Street
    So what vs Death by a thousand cuts
    Little cup vs London Boy
    All my friends ve Soon you'll get better
    Kamikaze vs False God
    ------

  18. H.... U....

    This hurt.

  19. M.... B....

    What an amazing and mesmerizing song and only 100'000 views....what is wrong with people?

  20. V.... W....

    I always knew you were a hallucinogen guy

  21. D.... P....

    🙄 Garth Brooks - The River

  22. C.... 5....

    Wow, incredible

  23. B.... A....

    Eminem + Can Bonomo mix ? Lan noldu sana eski halin ne de güzeldi.

  24. e.... n....

    I still buy records. I even bought “The Universal Sigh”.

    Beautiful work in all seriousness. Thank you.

  25. T.... F....

    You know this sounds a lot like the premise of my latest Chad Flendermen novel.

  26. J.... T....

    I’ll forever be thankful to Sons of Anarchy for bringing me here.

  27. H.... P....

    man i love robin so much

  28. M.... C....

    Wow. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

  29. U.... C....

    I think of robbing Williams at the end of the road

  30. A.... ....

    It's too bad Robin was offed like so many Hollywood elites who sell their souls to the satanic illuminati.

    A.... ....

    You stupid fuck

  31. h.... ....

    This music video gives me Yellow vibes.

  32. J.... A....

    Heard this while walking, I had earphones in listening to a podcast by the minimalists (they featured it at the end of the show). I had to stop and just listen right where I was... goosebumps when it came on. Fair play man, the heart in this song speaks volumes

  33. J.... G....

    I would love to see you and yours in a small venue.
    You kill it!!!

  34. P.... ....

    He's so handsome & talented.

  35. K.... B....

    Wow. I love this way more than I wanted to. ❤
    Love being blown away by new music releases.

  36. P.... S....

    man... what a song!!!!!

  37. K.... C....

    It's 5am and I've been listening to my radio all night.

  38. S.... T....

    you continue to amaze me, can't wait for the rest of this album!

    This made me cry

  41. b.... ....

    I danced to Noah's Ledges album at my wedding. This man is a talent that deserves recognition. This song is exactly what I need to hear at times, while other songs tell another story. He's a story teller and I love his entire body of work.

  42. A.... K....

    Haven’t check in with Noah for a long while, but used to watch the Gunderson family sing together (stone cold broke in the middle of the winter) pretty regularly when my spirit needed company. Robin Williams was the hardest celebrity for me to lose. Never felt much touched by celebrity deaths before him, but he reminded me so much of my dad— his humor kind of raised me; his depictions of love informed that ideal in my mind, especially in What Dreams May Come. I just wanted to grow up to be that kind of man. Funny and honest and loving. I even heard from his wife, Zelda, in an interview that he kept on dating other women through his life. I don’t know. To be a complicated man with his vices, his depression and mental health deterioration, but to keep standing up as a Human with his heart in his hand.
    Thanks for making this, Noah. I’m listening through the radio waves tonight.

  43. S.... H....

    This music is so grounding. So refreshing amidst all the artificial music around these days. Thank you man.

  44. S.... W....

    Only discovered Noah with 'Dry Year', but this is mind-blowing.

    Cannot wait for the new album.

    Thank you,

    Casey

  45. T.... A....

    💔 beautiful

  46. P.... ....

    This song is going to be big! I Just know it, it will be his best so far.

  47. i.... ....

    Thanks to Sons of Anarchy, I got to know Noah Gunderson.

  48. J.... P....

    NOAH GUNDERSEN ON JRE! MAKE IT HAPPEN!

  49. D.... S....

    This week a close friend of mine decided to end his life. He was a beautiful mind and an obnoxiously talented songwriter. He gave all to his relationships and music but it wasn’t enough in the end. He wrote one of my favorite albums of all time and it not just because he was my friend, it was a true work of art. Yet, no one bought it, let alone heard it. I feel this song hard and it’s almost comforting the unfortunate inevitability of life we share.

    Support your friends while they live, be their champion, don’t say “if only...”, buy their records, make sure they know you love them. Not a lot actually matter in this world but our connections to each other are everything.

    D.... S....

    @Grollum That he does, one of my favorite songs he wrote. All of his songs had some hidden or not so hidden truth about his life, I don't think I met a person who wrote more honestly.

    D.... S....

    @Dan Stewart That`s awesome. And I really like his music. I think this is probably one of my favourite albums this year!

    D.... S....

    Jesus this made me cry.

    D.... S....

    So, I"m listening to his stuff now and it's really good. I definitely feel the pain he was projecting into songs like, "coping". The industry is so saturated right now, there are so many good artists that go unrecognized. I'm really sorry for your loss, and glad he can live through the music and people like you spreading the word.
    Hopefully humanity will finally learn what really matters: connecting with one another.

    D.... S....

    @jsmyth024 Amen.

  50. P.... ....

    Great one !

  51. M.... ....

    I loved his hair....😭😭😭😭

  52. M.... ....

    Does every Noah Gundersen song have to make me feel things? Keep it up you fantastic songwriter/artist! (But maybe grow your hair back :p)

    M.... ....

    I wish Noah and Gregory Alan Isakov would collaborate on a song! It would be amazing!

  53. D.... B....

    This has far too few views. What a great song.

  54. A.... L....

    😍❤

  55. R.... E....

    Wasn't looking for this - just sort of clicking around. So glad I did. Wow.

  56. P.... S....

    I can't stop watching this video. Paired with the song, it's so emotive and beautiful. Noah's a gem.

  57. J.... W....

    Great tune, ♡ Robin

  58. M.... W....

    This is beautiful and hard to hear but can’t stop listening

  59. r.... h....

    This amazing song came to my attention at same time I was reading Rolling Stone's interview with Howard Stern and his regrets over how he treated Robin Williams next to an article called All-American Despair!Coincidence or what?

  60. C.... N....

    Great song. Noah lowkey looks like Kirk Acevedo

  61. M.... B....

    Write what you feel .. respect and I hear you brother.

  62. f.... ....

    Thank you.

    Lyrics:

    Verse 1]
    One way or another, it's gonna make its presence known
    From one monkey to another, you can't lose what you don't own
    It's okay if you get anxious, just please don't call the cops
    There's a couple things I'm sure of, and a whole lot more I'm not

    [Verse 2]
    There's a sentimental value to the memory of love
    It's a pretty looking rainbow, what does it remind you of?
    Is it somewhere there's a heart of gold that's never gonna rust?
    Or it's a hard rain, honey, but it's never gonna flood

    [Verse 3]
    Despite all my reservations, I've been doing this for years
    Hoping that some magic touch would finally make it clear
    But when it all comes crashing down, I'm still standing here
    Looking at the same face in the same place, just a different kind of mirror

    [Verse 4]
    Well, nothing lasts forever, and every other trope
    I guess it just depends how much DMT you smoked
    But when I think of Robin Williams at the end of his rope
    It makes no difference what you're making, the reaper makes the final joke

    [Verse 5]
    So I gather my impressions of the universal sigh
    And hope that someone's listening to their radio tonight
    Though it doesn't really matter with so many come before
    And who the hell are we fooling? No one buys records anymore

  64. L.... ....

    Amazing song. Thank you Noah. ❤

  65. L.... C....

    I needed this right now. Thank you

  66. A.... N....

    Love it

  67. D.... ....

    How in fucks name is this not mainstream but also is it a blessing it isnt ?

  68. H.... G....

    uh yeah...sub'd

  69. h.... ....

    Capitalism will kill art

  70. R.... ....

    way to make money off the depression and suicide of another human being

  71. J.... P....

    Deeeeep!

  72. w.... ....

    The is the most pathetic, gayest thing I've ever listened to. A Robin Williams hanging joke? Cheap and gay.

  73. M.... 1....

    Rest in peace Robin Williams i hope you're making Jesus and all the angels laugh

  74. J.... C....

    Everything this guy puts out is gold. If you ever get the chance to see him live, don’t pass it up. One of the most intimate live shows I’ve ever had the privilege to attend.

  75. A.... B....

    I just listened to this twice in a row. Uggh. My heart... For the record, I DO buy records. And I'll buy yours.

  76. D.... ....

    horrible

  77. C.... M....

    I am bawling my eyes out. So much loss. Including my entire music collection for a 4th time now. Anyone recommend a digital music player and storage that isn't iTunes or Amazon? Because when either update, they simply erase that which was not bought from them.

    C.... M....

    Napster. Had it for years with no problems

  78. J.... E....

    Well done.

  79. N.... B....

    This is amazing...

  80. S.... A....

    There is another Song by the name of Robin Williams by CeeLo Green.

  81. C.... O....

    Feel like I’m about to see Laura Palmer

  82. C.... I....

    A year ago after Scott took his life and Noah played the most beautiful cover of Heads Roll Off in tribute, I was really struggling with death. And watching my heroes check out early. Like how am I supposed to keep it together when these absolute giants of the arts cannot...

    It was getting so hard. Medication did nothing. My attempts at art did nothing. Just the white-knuckle routine as usual.

    Fast forward a year later and my first dmt trip turned all that upside down, and left me reaching for life without any vice or crutch at all.

    I love you man. This song is the absolute truth. It couldn't be more on the nose.

    I wish we could all go back to pre internet culture, before mp3 convenience. When we were still crossing state lines to find records and friendship with no preview of what was in store. Today, with the modern death of world mysteries, only the great mystery is left to loom above our heads, each moment of each day. But now I know that we are not alone. Not at all. And we never will be.

    C.... I....

    Carpe Imodiem Scott’s death hit me hard too. ❤️

  83. E.... ....

    Wow. He's . . . amazing.

  84. T.... C....

    Never heard of this guy before now, I'm thankful for these suggested videos❤
    New fan here

    T.... C....

    I envy you getting to dive deep into his catalog for the first time

  85. J.... A....

    Could've done without the voice doubles in the mix. Kinda takes away his performance. Can't hear his voice as much.

  86. D.... Y....

    liked it before the first note. switched his whole look. still love from the s.o.a. dayz...

  87. R.... C....

    I wish I didn't see this video,he looks so f-ing stupid, oh wait! Is s he a lesbian

    R.... C....

    trolling 4/10. try harder next time. :P

  88. M.... M....

    When you can tell Noah’s been going to LANY shows cause the hair but is still making music with the same soul.

  89. B.... M....

    DMT Joe Rogan reference

  90. k.... D....

    I'm excited for the new album! I have been a fan since he showed up to a youth group in town to perform back ik 09-ish. His last album was a little different and I didnt like it as much but this seems right up my ally!

  91. S.... C....

    Is this a song by Robin Williams or by Noah Gundersen?


    JK... bad joke... :(

  92. M.... T....

    Been a huge fan of Noah ever since i heard «Day Is Gone» during an episode of Sons Of Anarchy. He has been one of my favourites ever since.
    Such deep lyrics. Soul and emotions in his voice. Pure art.

    M.... T....

    Mats Thømt me too

    M.... T....

    The same with me

    M.... T....

    The night I heard Family on SOA was when I discovered Noah for myself and I have to say after that, it changed me as a musician for the better. Especially in terms of where to pull from when writing and how to start understanding my sound.

  93. C.... V....

    New Look, Same Ol’ Noah❤️ Love You! Thank You for being in my Life. 🤘🏼

  94. R.... l....

    I'm in tears.. Wow RIP LOVE you always RW!!!

  95. D.... ....

    Man. I felt this.

  96. R.... K....

    Beautiful song. I will always appreciate your honesty, Noah.
