This is real folk. It's not a genre like most would like to think. It's about family, community and (most importantly) rejoicing in and out of hardships. Noah exemplifies this through and through. To hear his brokenness in the same song that he celebrates difficulty and adversity is simply a testament to his truth.
I've learned over the past two years that faith and religion are very different things, and although I don't believe in God, I do believe in faith. And every time I lose faith, over the past few years, Noah has always pulled me back in. It doesn't always have to do with religion. Sometimes it's just about strength and family and belief in yourself. And he always reminds me of that.
"Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6 NKJV . I am, what I am. This is some of the music I grew up around...
dudes and dudettes, you just witnessed what i like to call a trifecta of soul-crunching gospel infused mashup of some very beautifully written and performed songs. All yall are very musically talented thank you for being you, glad i found yall, exactly what i wanted to hear.
When the roots are deep, there is no reason to fear the wind. ~Chinese Proverb . Hearts of Faith will understand why this quote above fits with this video. I am what I am... for a reason.... The Lord will show you the way, but you will still have to do the walking... Please Be Well, and Stay Strong on Your Journeys, Will.
Last year I went to austria and Italy, with a choir that I am involved in and we song in a whole bunch of different cathedrals...This has made me very picky about singing in spaces like that. This performance was incredible, and there it nothing i would change. The over-tones worked so well, and all of their harmonies were 100% right every time. Beautiful! They should sing in places like this more often!
The cook at my youth group's daughter is dating noah's brother... so noah gunderson and possible the rest of his family will be at my winter camp..... I just found out today and the camp is next weekend.... i don't think you realize how stoked i am because every word you just wrote is the same for me!!!
I wasn't so sold on the album version of this and as a result on the song in general, but after listening to this I can see how much it really means, and it's made me love it that much more.
I ‘m from Argentina… I didn t Knew him or about thème… Ím a faith somanta and everything or everyone who talk of God…. I stay and listen… I think on l’y God can save us from ourselves!!! Incan’t translater all thé lyrics!!Some of you can me how to have on English ??? Thanks you all!!!
Dude chatting in the background was totally killing the mood. I was cringing when he chimed in. Lol totally ruined it for me beyond recovery. So annoying! !
Gabriel Kerr I wanna know what the hell they were talking about that was so important that they couldn't wait 5 minuets and listen to this amazing performance.
Joseph Ponce SPOT ON!! - This is ASTOUNDING! ... You are SO RIGHT! Just how insulting can you get? - The smell of sulphur and Old Nick about there somewhere for sure!
Still one of my most favorite music videos ever.
Beyond words wow.....
how beautiful for a whole family to have such voices and make this art together

(oh and this is the CATHEDRALS concert series put on by Fremont Abbey Arts Center, held at St Mark's Cathedral in Seattle)
I've supported Noah before he was famous. His entire family is so talented! Love listening to the harmony!
@lisst17 Youngest brother and sister, Johnny and Elizabeth. They have their own band named La Wrens.
This is water to my soul.

Beautiful....awesome voices.....much more talented than alot of the "pop" stars of today
this is what music is supposed to be
i love this and love the family's harmonies. what the heck, why does one family get so much talent?!!!
see how Noah keeps the flow going for all of them. he holds the sacred space for them to bare their souls. a true bringer of light
Never noticed till this comment, thank you for sharing.
Wow all I can say..... Just fantastic!!
Absolutely incredible! I might be wrong but I think Noah and Abby have the best musical chemistry of the bunch.
I could listen to this man singing the instructions for IKEA furniture assembly.
I'm not religious, but got dam. Thanks for this. And bless you all.
How I would love to marry into that family...
Love all of your music
Some Amazing talent here... Reminds me of Mumford and Sons... Love it:)
JEdgarWallace that "killing me softly" feeling is called the Holy Spirit. Let His love embrace you! :)

Okay how come I'm just now learning about these clearly gifted vocalists?
This is good music. Awesome thanks for sharing.
This reminds me of the song from O Brother Where art thou.. mesmerizing.
This is so good. So refreshing. Love all the family stuff they do.
Loved the smooth harmony!
These people are just beautiful.
Lo élus!! God bless us!!
Oh my god! Amazing voices. Thanks so much for sharing this.

??Where can I download this?? It's absolutely beautiful. Not your typical worship music. SO SO touching and heartfelt. VERY honest and beautiful.
Oh my goodness. Gorgeous.
Absolutely perfect.
Thank you! This resonates so deep.
I wasn't so sold on the album version of this and as a result on the song in general, but after listening to this I can see how much it really means, and it's made me love it that much more.
Where can I get this album?
the recorded version sadly often didnt have the charm of the live performances. they are amazing live.
Lovely! This is the first I have seen and I like you guys a lot!!!
Amazing! I've been listening to this one recording for an hour and singing along in public!
the harmony a blood connection makes is unbelievable. Heard Noah on SOA, so glad I found this.
one word: beautiful
I love this... My heart is broken.. I love them... Good job.. Amen.

The natural reverb
What are the names of the other two people in this? Not Noah and Abby..
Magnificent
I was yearning for some nice folk vocal bends though during the doxology
Where was this recorded?! The acoustics are beautiful
who the hell needs "Chicken Soup" when you have The Gundersen Family??
Amen
where can i go to download this great music?
You can use www.youtube-mp3.org/nl to download it on your phone.
The Gundersen girls are gorgeous.
I know that Noah is essentially agnostic. They were all raised in church though, so they could be in a range of mindsets.
Is the blonde brother the infant on the front of the album?! :P
Actually, that's Noah. Confirmed by his brother, Jonny.
Oh thanks! :)
What about ''le wrens ''?
I ‘m from Argentina… I didn t Knew him or about thème… Ím a faith somanta and everything or everyone who talk of God…. I stay and listen…
I think on l’y God can save us from ourselves!!! Incan’t translater all thé lyrics!!Some of you can me how to have on English ??? Thanks you all!!!

The gunnderson family is my cousins
They ought to be famous. All that beautiful music with complex harmonies acapella? My god, they're brilliant!
"Are" my cousins dear. Not "is."
Ima start a band called The Ugly Brother.
Who is the one Idiot who disliked this? Who ever did must have no soul.
@kaosdevice trololololololo
How is it that the best religious music comes from non-religious people? Dang.
i'm pretty sure the gundersens are religious....
Dude chatting in the background was totally killing the mood. I was cringing when he chimed in. Lol totally ruined it for me beyond recovery. So annoying! !
Seriously! Hahaha, now i have "STFU!" repeating in my head over and over.
Lol
Gabriel Kerr I wanna know what the hell they were talking about that was so important that they couldn't wait 5 minuets and listen to this amazing performance.
Joseph Ponce SPOT ON!! - This is ASTOUNDING! ... You are SO RIGHT! Just how insulting can you get? - The smell of sulphur and Old Nick about there somewhere for sure!
Gabriel Kerr ...they were only practising before the performance. This was in the morning while everyone was setting up.
6 people dont have a life
boring.
What about''le wrens ''?
