Come With Me 04:00
So get on the boat And we’ll sail across the sea Don’t you know you belong with me? And we’ll fall into the sun Then burn each other up And when all is done I swear we’ll be in love Cause I don’t wanna be alone I don’t wanna be alone Come with me Well, it’s a one-man ride But we could make it two I’ll scoot aside I’ll make room for you And if you fall away If you need a break I’ll stop the ship and wait I swear I’ll fix the ache Cause I don’t wanna be alone I don’t wanna be alone Come with me But if you stay, I’ll go And leave my heart with you I just need you to know I love you Well, I don’t wanna be alone I don’t wanna be alone So come with me

(1, 2, 3, 4….) Well, I have things to do But I would rather sit and think of you For a while And there are goals to meet But you have swept me off of my feet I’m in denial So how’s it gonna be? Do you regularly steal men’s hearts, like mine? Well, I’m so sure that I can’t afford To lose you again tonight, let’s reconcile Oh love’s reprisal She walks forward and falls into me And I just stumble and ask if she knew me And she just smiles and says “Don’t let me down” Well, I will smile again when you come around Well, there’s no time to wait My eyes need yours by today I need to see you So what words do I say? What does it take for me to retrieve you? And the truth is in front of me I love your company Let’s stay here tonight I’m so sure that I can’t afford To lose you again tonight, let’s reconcile Oh love’s reprisal She walks forward and falls into me And I just stumble and ask if she knew me And she just smiles and says “Don’t let me down” Well, I will smile again when you come around, alright, alright She’s coming around right now She just smiles at me I move slow so that she sees me I look at you, you can’t fool me I smile at you and she just smiles at me She just smiles at me, let’s reconcile Alright, alright, she just smiles at me She just smiles at me She just smiles at me

I Just 04:29
Stand across the room and tell me how this sounds As I play exactly what I’m looking at now Well, her eyes are blue and her hair is brown She’ll capture you and gently let you down Well, I just love you I just love you I just don’t know why I do But I just love you I just love you I just don’t know why I do So stand across the room and tell me how this feels The end comes too soon and the middle just isn’t real Take me back again to where this got its start And this is the melody of my breaking heart Cause I just love you I just love you I just don’t know why I do But I just love you I just love you I just don’t know why I do Well, I just love you I just love you I just don’t know why I do And I just love you I just love you I just don’t know why I do So tell me that you’ll never leave me Cause I won’t leave you And tell me that you’ll never deceive me Cause I won’t deceive you, deceive you So stand across the room and watch me fall away Can’t you hear the feeling that you made me feel But the memories of you, I don’t want them to go away Cause what I felt with you was more than real Well, I just love you I just love you I just don’t know why I do But I just love you I just love you I just don’t know why I do Well, I just love you I just love you I just don’t know why I do But I just love you I just love you I just don’t know why I do

Passerby 03:44
I’m totally insignificant When it comes to cleaning up this mess And all the time I’ve spent Has only pushed me further up the fence And which way do I jump? I am baffled, torn, and out of luck I was born stumped I was born stumped I’m totally lost for you again The words they start to come, they never end So how do I begin To memorize the lines here within? Of all the things to know I can’t have the thing I want the most I’ll try it, I suppose I can taste the sky, it’s so close I don’t know where I belong Just sing the world a simple song About the way it used to be When we were young and innocent and free I’m old and half-alive I’ve been told too many lies And I am just a passerby I’m just passing by tonight So before I go, tell me what it’s like Won’t you let me know how to stay alive I’m totally insignificant When it comes to mending up your heart And all the damage That I’ve caused you is just the start How I feel inside Can you hear me or shall I amplify Or fall and be cast aside? I am young and I have lost my mind I don’t know where I belong Just sing the world a simple song About the way it used to be When we were young and innocent and free I’m old and half-alive I’ve been told too many lies And I am just a passerby I’m passing by tonight So before I go, tell me what it’s like Won’t you let me know how to stay alive How to stay alive I had a dream last night You were my friend and everything was alright Well, I opened my eyes to see that the dream ends Tell me, what’s the use? I grow weary of being the reliable excuse So today I choose to leave you Well, I don’t know where I belong I sing the world a simple song About the way it used to be When I was young and innocent and free I’m old and half-alive I’ve been told too many lies And I am just a passerby I’m passing by tonight So before I go, tell me what it’s like Won’t you let me know how to stay alive How to stay alive, alive

Love and War 04:18
And the innocent died by the sword In the name of the Lord Now the bombs go off on the ground In the name of war I sit back and wonder why The angels don’t step in and try to stop it, stop it Tell me what you’re fighting for Oh, there can’t be love and war You’re spending more than you can afford Oh, there’s no love and war And the innocent die by the will Evil’s intention to kill And the angels cry from above Sending righteous love, righteous love I sit back and wonder why The angels don’t step in and try to stop it, nothing Tell me what you’re fighting for Oh, there’s no love and war You’re spending more than you can afford Oh, there’s no love and war I’ll tell you what I’m fighting for Love in the midst of war I’m spending more than I can afford On love in the midst of war I’ll tell you what I’m fighting for Love in the midst of war I’m spending all that I can afford On love in the midst of war

about

Noah’s debut EP “Love & War” proves that this talented young singer-songwriter is ready to stake his claim in the music world. At only 19 years old, Noah’s music indicates that he possesses wisdom well beyond his years. His passionate lyrics exude an uncommon depth and insight into young love, friendship, romance, and the bonds that bind men.

The presence of acoustic guitars and the occasional bongo, amidst a frenetic drum kit and a rocking lead piano, gives Noah’s debut effort a unique indie/rock flavor. “Come With Me” is reminiscent of early Springsteen in its youthful drive and passion; the acoustic “Love’s Reprisal” dares it’s listener not to smile; and the spiritually and socially conscious title track “Love and War” demands that the greatest of all commandments be sought always, even in the darkest of hours.

Noah’s “Love & War” truly is an impressive and promising debut.
