Noah Gundersen - Empty From The Start Lyrics






Stars falling from the sky
Buildings burning all the time
Tall rivers running wild
Stretching out for miles and miles
I think I heard a good man say
God is love and love has made us
But have you seen the news today
I have and I think God is gone away
If he was ever there anyway
‘Cause anyone who tells you they were born good is lying
We’re just born and we are dying
And I know it’s been said but mothers be good to your daughters
And then they’re older sons be good to your fathers

This is all we have
This is all we are
Blood and bones no Holy Ghost
Empty from the start
There’s nothing you can do honey
Nothing you can do that would save me
There’s nothing you can do honey
Nothing you can do but lately
I don’t mind
‘Cause I’ve been finding
The only thing worth loving more than me is loving you

You get stuck staring at the past
You get stuck looking at the future through a looking glass
Time is gone when time was slow
This time is all you have and now it’s gone but now you know
And I hope you save
A picture of me in your pocket when I’m gone away
And I will do the same for you
To truly love someone is the closest I have come to truth

This is all we have
This is all we are
Blood and bones no Holy Ghost
Empty from the start
There’s nothing you can do honey
Nothing you can do that would save me
There’s nothing you can do honey
Nothing you can do but lately
I don’t mind
‘Cause I’ve been finding
The only thing worth loving more than me is loving you

  1. M.... M....

    Fucking love this song

  2. W.... W....

    Like Noah's style of singing and many of his songs but repectfully honestly I don't like these lyrics,I see more hope in this existence,and believe we more than just birth and death...there is a Holy Ghost with us .... for awhile anyway.

    W.... W....

    We Watch and Pray We're awesome with or without superstition, and as an atheist I admire the first part of Noah's musical career, songs like "Jesus, Jesus" and "Oh, Death". I don't thunk perception is something that can ruin a song.

    Eden Project got a song out called " Rock + Roll" and there's a reference to atheism that made a lot of people dislike the song and explicitly point that fact out in the comments.

    W.... W....

    I know what you mean Calin.I don't think it ruins the song.I write songs too, a song is a song ..comes from your perception of life and influences and inspires folks for good or evil..The melodies he plays are always beautiful.some have said we have similar styles..is just that some of the lyrics hurt me and puts me in sorrow for those who believe this is all there is..I 'm not preaching ,but I think it's good to know people have other ways of belief ,it's comforting actually know we are not lost.It's strange we know so little about our world and yet if I ask someone about the complexities of the universe and the wonder of life which even the most hardcore scientists they say they have no idea.How how how,can it be that when you ask about the idea of God,everyone is all of sudden sure there is no God ,with no question..very strange..I don' t want to turn this into an argument....though..I am going to go listen to "Red House Painters" a song called (have you forgotten.)..chill band! Take care Calin

    W.... W....

    I''m at work. I'd put on some music on too, but I feel like reading. Catch you around when the stars align again, brother :)

    W.... W....

    Take care Calin,and see you then :-)

  3. r.... r....

    If we could all sing.....this would be our song

  4. C.... H....

    God never leaves us we move away looking to find out who we are. Nothing wrong with that he will be there when people fail you the world fails you an you fail yourself sorry for being preachy not my intent just my response to the song.

    C.... H....

    Love ur gift use it till u find who are thanks for sharing.

  5. T.... ....

    correction* "(but) mothers be good to (your) daughters, and when they're older sons be good to (your) fathers"
    also in the chorus it should be
    "there's nothing you can do honey,
    there's nothing you could do that (would) save me
    there's nothing you can do honey,
    (there's nothing you can do), but lately

    T.... ....

    Done, brother. Thank you!

  6. L.... S....

    First time listening to this album. Unbelievable. Wish this would play in my dreams.

  7. P.... W....

    simply beautiful

  8. D.... P....

    This is really such a great fucking song on every conceivable level. I echo some of the other comments: Why the hell isn't this guy getting more spotlight?

    D.... P....

    Douglas Proce cause real music that comes from heart doesn't exist in spotlight anymore

  9. B.... M....

    brilliant

  10. w.... ....

    Amazing song... just a couple of corrections in the lyrics.

    *But have you seen the news today
    I have and I think God has gone away

    *There's nothin you can do honey, but lately
    I don't mind, cause I been finding the only thing...

    Good job on the rest!!

    +writinginrutland Thanks a lot, my man. I still can't believe how easily we blink and miss artists like this. I got a job that makes me listen to some 700 songs a week and write short ten-twenty lines about them, and it's absolutely fabulous. I hope I don't lose my hearing anytime soon, but I've listened to over 15.000 bands and singers in the past year, and artists like this pop up on a regular basis. 2-3 a day that absolutely baffle me. :)

    +Calin Constantin Sounds kind of like a dream job. Do you keep record of the good ones somewhere? I would love to hear your reactions to them. Where do you publish your writing?

    w.... ....

    +Dave Bronson The pieces I write are in Romanian, and they're the effect of rash impressionism. I'm on a schedule, and I can't really rationalize my position, so I criticize songs that I learn to love in a couple of weeks, and viceversa. I have my playlists on youtube, but unfortunately, I have more and more favorites piling up on soundcloud and other sites that don't allow "playlisting" and categorizing. Go ahead and check them out on youtube. I'll make the private ones public in a sec
