8 yrs later and this still plays on my speakers. Thanks Noah, your music is powerful
still here, almost 2024
This is 10 times better than the album version
I enjoy this version a little more than the recorded one. There's something about this performance. His voice just seems to soar. Maybe it's the natural reverb of the room he is in, but damn it sounds nice.
+Nathan Jurgensen i feel the same way!
Totally agree with you Nathan! The recorded version is good but it just lacks something, but this live version is perfect! :)
You can never touch live raw emotion like this over studio. It's different singing for the person that needs to hear it vs the one who wants to just listen. Live acoustic is the best.
I always show people this version everytime.
I agree 100%. The recorded version could be improved IMO. Don't know if it could match this but the drums don't sound very organic to me on the recorded version
I hope he never stops making music.
When I listen to Noah, so do my neighbors.
Best version of this song hands down.
My face just melted off
basically
This song gets me so pissed off. It forces me to confront all sorts of painful feelings and inner demons and such, but then I can't just NOT listen to it, because it's beautiful and I'm hooked. A lot like cigarettes, actually.
for the longest time, he was the only artist i could listen to. he is so original and his soul just seems to spill out with his voice. oh man. you can just tell that he gives it his all every time.
I hadn't heard this in years... Good lord this is powerful.
His voice and presence gives me the chills. Wow. Phenomenal 😱
Glad I've seen noah live twice, always leaves me in tears
I used to be so obsessed with this song for a period of time then i suddenly stopped listening to it and ive been searching for it again FOR SO LONG YALL DONT UNDERSTAND AND NOW IM SO HAPPY I FOUND IT AGAIN PLEASE SHARE THIS GOODNESS LET THE WORLD HEAR THIS
This is one of my top ten favorite songs, in 2019.
chills, literal chills man. this song hits me on a whole different level.
I can't help but contort my face every time I hear that harmonica. So much soul!
You remind me, of cigarettes
The way I hold you, in my chest
The way you kiss me, with your filter breath
I keep thinking, I'm getting over this
Once you had me, you don't have me anymore
I don't crave you in the morning, or at the company store
I don't use you to escape, in my fingers out the door
Once you had me, you don't have me anymore
But honey, you're smooth
Honey, you're smooth
Honey, you're smooth
Honey, you're smooth
You don't make me, cool
And I can carry, I'm fine without you
You're a spirit, and you can't be beat
But when I'm jonesin', honey, I'd buy cheap
Once you had me, you don't have me anymore
I don't crave you in the morning, or at the company store
I don't use you to escape, in my fingers out the door
Once you had me, you don't have me anymore
But the truth is that you do
Not the way you used to
But there's something after you
'Cause honey, you're smooth
Honey, you're smooth
Oh, honey, you're smooth
Honey, you're smooth
As one who has managed to stay free of cigarettes for over a year this time around, amazingly enuff, I'd say he captured the situation quite elegantly.

Great post .
Thank you.
Hard quitting those Nov25 . 1997
You said it Todd, just exactly how I hear it.....been 10 months for me now.
He is one of the best new artist of his time! I crave it in the morning!
I was introduced to this song by my son and will be forever grateful as this is now one of my favourite tunes. Who would of thought of comparing a cigarette to relationships........inspirational. Beautifully sung, I too prefer this live version.
I have only somehow discovered this song today 4/4/24....GREAT song, Great Theme and amazing song! Well done my friend, WELL DONE!
Some people struggle with an addiction to cigarettes, some with drugs, some with alcohol, some with sex. Most people deal with addiction in their lives, if not themselves, than through someone they love. I think if this song doesn't hit you on a personal level you've also got a problem with denial.
That's the hardest part too
Just got over my alcoholic addiction. Used to be me coming home drinking a whole 12 pack, now I’m 5 months clean!! You’re absolutely right
What a deep breath of connection to us all....these words apply to everyone!!been a traveler on a long road of cigs,drink,meth,dope, coca leaf,...long strange trip ..... finally broke free....... whatever FREe is? Are any of us truly ever ?!!!
I love this gifted soul ❤️ and am thankful today!!
Music is your only friend, until the end🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🌹🌹🌹🌹✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️☮️ borrowed from one of the greatest poet,singer,writer. JIM MORRISON and the doors of perseption.......rock and roll. Forever. Thank to you all🎼🎼✌️✌️✌️🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌞🌞🌞🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪😻😻😻🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

This is absolutely beautiful. It reminds me of an addiction to a relationship, sometimes it is so tough to let go. Ah i can't wait to see him live. What a voice!
To think he was only 22 here... such a great song
I’m astounded that I’ve never heard this before and I’m so happy that I’m hearing it now
Chills. Everything about this song is perfection. Sheer melodic bliss. Thank you!
I saw him play this live, with his sister on the violin. It was pretty amazing to hear, and still amazing on here.
Noah, I can hardly handle how incredible this song is. I'm the slightly crazy Irish woman (living in Ecuador) that accosted you after the Family Xmas party with my sleepy son. Moving to WA. One of the reasons I'm so off my head about it is that I'll be able to see you live whenever you play there. Now that you're an international SUPERSTAR, I hope WA stays high on your gig list..... I'll make sure my son gets some sleep next time. He is gonna grow up with your music in the back- and foregrounds.
Wow the correlation he brings in this song is absolutely amazing. Such a desperately bittersweet song, and beautiful
I've listened to this song 12 times in a row, I'm freakily obsessed in a good way. Noah, words can't describe how your music makes us feel. Truly beautiful sir, don't stop!
This still gives me chills
He sounds like David Gray. Beautiful
gives me the chills, amazing
No one can do it like Noah. Amazing everytime, every song..
He's so amazingly talented. He knows what he's good at and knows what suits him. Hope for him all the best!
I think he nailed it!! best version ive ever heard of this song
this song has been on repeat all day, lyrics are amazing
I can't wait to see him live next month!
love this guy, straight from the heart. Just covered his song "family"
Embarrassed to say, but I"m just discovering this kid today-and so very impressed. His voice is classic and new and I dig his song
Leonardo Artist maaan! you have a lot of wonderful music from this beautiful man to discover! nice journey my man
Alright so I'm super lame, and did my research after last nights episode of S.O.A because I was sure it was Greg Holden (the artist that had the song during Opie's wake), but it wasn't it was this Noah Gundersen dude, listened to a few tracks on youtube, and immediately paid for a downloaded album of his of Amazon... I remember the "David" track from Sons too...This dude's pretty fucking all around mesmerizing. Thought I'd share....
I'm the same way, except i started listening when i hear Family played. Been in love ever since and now have most of his albums except his first and of course his new one coming out. Love him!
"Family" is what got my attention as well.
The Civil Wars come to mind when he sings with Phoebe Bridgers and, yes, David Gray. Captivating!
Noah proves what a great singer/songwriter he is with this song! The parallels he draws between cigarettes and his former lover are just sublime! And his voice...My God! So sensual and emotional!
saw him twice in 5 days, drove 20+ hours to see both of his shows, completely entirely worth it. I LOVE HIM.
I absolutely love this song. my new favorite
repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat
babygirls out there got ya boy deep in his feels. i think i've listened to this almost daily since this video was posted before the album version came out. 😫
Kinda reminds me of Ray Lamontagne. So amazing
Words can't even express how beautiful this is.
brings me to tears, so beautiful
same
It’s okay to remove ourselves from the narrative and just listen, and let it be their story.
One of the most amazing songs so deep
really cool song. great concept, awesome lyrics and beautiful voice.
What a talent. Top musician🤘🏼
Best song I have had the pleasure of listening to all week. Simply amazing.
This guy is amazing. Just wow. Poor Man's Son is my favorite song right now and it's from him!
Takes my breath away every time....
y'know what, i'll never stop listening to you. you'll turn 50, 70, 90... i'll be still listening to you.
Such talent. Amazing.
I seen this guy live at the sloss fest in Alabama. When he played this song live it was one of the most memorable performances I can remember. There was a storm creeping in, thunder rumbling, wind lightly cutting into the blistering heat and carrying his voice for What sounded like miles. I became a fan that day.
But the only negative thing I can say about the whole show is that the tempo never really changed the band focuses so much on his voice which never changed.
Freak in awesome, cant believe this doesn't have way more views...this is true music plain and simple!
Great artist! Great messages! Sounds better LIVE then any other artist right now in 2019! Been listening to this since 2015, never gets old, just a great artist and great songs all around!
My new favorite artist. Love all of his music
400,000 views and well worth it. Love this song.
This man has helped me through a lot of band times. The idea of this song is amazing. his voice is amazing, he is amazing cannot fault him in anyway :)
Heard him sing this last night. Everything about him is just so beautiful
I completely agree! I love how much of a bigger audience and much more people are listening to his music! His music is amazing and it's great more people are listening!!
Madly deeply in love with this! Boy YOU ARE smooth and amazingly talented!!
I just met you and i loving you! How a great music you sing! when i hear it you make feel all the feeling a human can have!
Perfection. Another home run. Noah you rock my socks.
Saw him live last year, he did great and i loved it.. Him and his Sister are great musicians
Oh stop it !!! Meaning and heart and soul and goosebumps and all the inbetween ❤
Beautiful. ✨
the only musician that honestly blows my mind. I cant fathom why the whole world doesn't know who he is.
89 people didn't get the metaphorical beauty of this song, it's like you can't put a certain situation into words and he managed to express it through "cigarettes"
absolutely amazing
Forgot about this beauty ❤️
Couldn't say it better myself, he is brilliant live! A really amazing experience :)
thought i was listening to jeff buckley for a hot second at 4:37
Great songwriter and performance.
This guy seems to have/go through a lot of guitars... and I love every one Ive seen
He is so talented; I like this clean look better.
Amazing. Such heart! If you cant relate to this...than you are a monster!
He's going to be a legend in the indie folk scene. Mark my words.
Great song!!! Great meaning
Excited to see him in Dallas October 2023 at Tulips
Love this song
His voice is unlike any other, a true talent. this song really moves me :)
Oh my Lord you’re amazing ❤️
Who can dislike this perfection??
holy crap, new fan here, so glad i randomly click things, best way to find artists is by accident and dayuuuum he is smooth
it s been 3 years and i just ve relaized this guy .he has own talents (Y)
I am really hoping to see him this Saturday at St Andrews Hall in MI, I have been a long time fan never had the pleasure of seeing him live. Looking forward to it!
so beautiful
This song is relevant in so many ways.
this man is great !!! fantastic
Love this guy
sounds amazing!
I saw Noah perform this song at the Wonder Bar In Asbury Park. Phenomenal!
He's just incredible.
i like it when he says " so easily fall back into " for some reason
its nice watching so many people misunderstand your comment. we all know john mayer is a great guitarist/singer but the emotion and talent of noah is amazing. no one is trying to take anything away from john mayer guys, calm down
