Concert Review: Noah Gunderson Has Jesus And Jameson On His Mind
At MHOW, the house was packed by people that saw Noah Gunderson as the voice of a generation. A “once in a lifetime” songwriter, that cosmically captures how earthly they feel. For however much we discuss love as being universal, so is fear. From addictions to hell, Noah Gunderson sang to those creeping thoughts that make you believe Heaven is unattainable and…… boring.
Prepare for a random thought. As he sang to battling demons while wondering where the angels, I kept on thinking of the childhood classic. All Dogs Go To Heaven. In it, a bunch of dogs go to Heaven, but come back to earth because they found it to be a snooze. They preferred the highs and lows of earth to the horrors of hell and the stale beauty of Heaven. Note: I have been to neither location so I can’t really comment on their ambiance or curriculum of activities. Yet, I can say that I understood and felt Noah’s perspective.

Most of us are not perfect, we hurt and love others in the same way we hurt and love ourselves. Thus, if life is about tipping the scale and choosing whether to completely love or completely hurt, can we actually achieve this? Can we actually be 100% good or 100% bad? Or will we always be in the middle? These are a lot questions, but, in the end, that is what Noah is asking and why so many people sung his complex verses over simple chords. They have a lot of feelings because they have a lot unanswerable questions. We are a species of “reason” consistency placing the world in unreasonable positions, and Noah Gunderson sang to that conundrum with Jameson and some Billy Idol moves.

As he swung his hips and guitar, Gunderson felt like mixture of Idol and Dylan; a retro rockstar walking a folksy path so as to sober his soul from drinking in so many philosophies that don’t make him feel influenced or influential. When we think of how many thoughts cross our head with the many people that try to put more in it, Noah feels like clarity the confused. Using his smoky voice to hush the noise by acknowledging it exists, it sucks, and you get better at handling that truth. For More Information On Noah Gunderson Click Here.
