Gundersen, Noah - Selfish Art Lyrics
Sometime
Making songs for a living
Feels like living to make songs
And sometimes
I get an uneasy feeling
'Cause nothing really feels like home
And I just want to be alone
Calculate the hours till the power in the well goes dry
I'm watching as the stage goes black
How long until we all go back
To being nothing at all
Nothing but a spark in someone's eye
Am I giving all that I can give
Am I earning the right to live
There's nothing more sincere than selfish art
Sometimes
When I've got nothing to say
I think breaking a heart
Could maybe be the start of some new page
And sometimes
I play a couple war games
Using live ammunition
So I can fix what I'm missing
Most of my songs are true
Most of my songs are due to some broken people
So I could write a single
I'm watching as the stage goes black
How long until we all go back
To being nothing at all
Nothing but a spark in someone's eye
Am I giving all that I can give
Am I earning the right to live
By looking in a mirror
There's nothing more sincere than selfish art
I'm watching as the stage goes black
How long until we all go back
To being nothing at all
Nothing but a spark in someone's eye
Am I giving all that I can give
Am I earning the right to live
By looking in a mirror
There's nothing more sincere than selfish art
There's nothing more sincere than an empty heart
There's nothing more sincere than who we are
Than who we are

Gundersen, Noah Selfish Art Comments
This video kills me every time. Love it so much.
Holy shit
Put Noah Gundersen on at the office and the place goes quiet
Love Noah!!!!
fucking incredible.
I hope so bad that you'll come to hamburg one day! sadly I can't come to your shows in january in germany! so I'm still hoping for some more dates! I would absolutely love to see you performing live!
Just discovered you yesterday because of The Following. The song was David and it was amazing.
One of my all-time favorite songwriters. Every song is incredible.
Wow beautiful song!
Never have a song hit me so hard as today, when me and my girlfriend got into a major fight and the first thing I did was take out a pen and write lyrics for a song.. Very true Noah, nothing more cruel then 'Selfish Art'.
Sometimes, making songs for a living
Feels like living to make songs
And sometimes, I get an uneasy feeling,
That I'm doing something wrong
Cause nothing really feels like home
And I just wanna be alone
Calculate the hours to the power in the well goes dry
I'm watching as the stage goes black
How long until we all go back
To be nothing at all
Nothing but a spark in someone's eyes
Am I giving all that I can give
Am I earning the right to live
By looking in the mirror
There's nothing more sincere than selfish art
And sometimes, I got nothing to say
I think breaking a heart could maybe be the start of some new page
And sometimes, I play a couple war games

Most of my songs are true
Most of my songs are due to some broken people,
So I could write a single (?)
I'm watching as the stage goes black
How long until we all go back
To be nothing at all
Nothing but a spark in someones eyes
Am I giving all that I can give
Am I earning the right to live
By looking in the mirror
There's nothing more sincere than selfish art x2
Oh, there's nothing more than an empty heart
Oh, there's nothing more sincere than who we are,
Who we are...
Selfish Art.. love it. I wrote a song a while ago "when practical matters turn to my heart, sensibilities depart. I manifest my own complexion to fan a pest, a selfish art." keep doing what i've been doing. In this case though, with your music, keep doing what you've been doing!
This was absolutely beautiful when I saw you in D.C. This song speaks volumes, as does the rest of your music. You're incredible.
I've got tickets for your London gig and I haven't been this excited to see someone perform since I was 14, so like 17 years x
Any chance your tour will swing to Japan?
Just beauty
You're incredible. I would love to watch you perform live one day.
oh this is breathtaking
jesus, no words
Absolutely beautiful, Noah ♥
Immaculate as always
Just discovering your music and must say, though I have only heard two songs so far I am completely blown away already. Excellent song and performance!
+Dan D. Dirges If you ever get a chance to see him live, I HIGHLY recommend it. Check out Armon Jay also (he plays in Noah's live band and has some good stuff as well) and if you're in to instrumental music, his sister Abby Gundersen has some beautiful albums.
October can't come fast enough.
Absolutely fabulous! You're a beautiful person - whether you attempt to live by those words or not.
Beautiful. Anyone have the chords?
+Doug Schallmoser http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/n/noah_gundersen/selfish_art_crd.htm
this is absolutely beautiful, noah and i'm hoping to hear you play it in october.
Delivering perfect art, as usual. Thank you Noah. I love the feeling of your music.
Omg. Phenomenal.
There is not more sincere than a empty heart.
I appreciate your honesty, Noah.
Favorite track on the new album!
Well I suppose I'll be the first to say: 'well done!'
Impressive videography as well. :)
