Something I was really impressed with (besides the obvious composition and performance on this album) is how Noah handles the vulgar things of life. In this raw expression of a relationship, he handles the typically hidden parts with elegance and class, without ever sacrificing the grittiness of what actually happened, or even more importantly, the emotions behind it. This honest storytelling is throughout, but culminates in “This Body,” with, “Do you remember when we used to screw til 3am, now there’s only this body and a grave to put it in.”

"With every emotive note and poignant lyric, you are taken along on his journey through continents and emotions."
