same. My god as a mom now, and thinking of my mom back when ( who is deceased) and listening and ugly crying. This man is such an incredible gift to all of us
We just had a few days of pretend spring in the New England, there was snow & sleet yesterday. If he dropped this last Friday I could not have handled it! Well timed release!
My dad passed away unexpectedly a few years ago and I found myself planning his funeral at 21 and taking care of my mom. I didn’t realize I was processing grief while listening to this song until I heard, “heartbroken each morning when it’s me that turns it off.” Mostly because my dad would leave for work at 5 am and would turn the porch lights off and after he passed away it was me and my mom turning that light off and realizing that he’s actually gone. For sure this song is going to become one that’ll help me process grief, so thank you 💕
This is your song then, the song that will help you heal. Sending so much love and big hugs to you and your mom. I haven’t lost a parent but my little half brother lost his mom, so my stepmom, when he was only 1. He just turned 4 now. Some losses compound everyday and the magnitude of them, truly, is realised over a lifetime. Till we see our people again ❤
Honestly there is something so familiar and heartbreaking about it, especially the line "I ain't holding breath, ain't holding faith at all. Ill pray for you, be in pain for you." I feel like if there's no adequate way to explain the feeling of being so desperate for someone to find their way back that you turn to prayer even though you don't even believe in it, youre out of options and so you do the only thing left. That moment of hoping you're wrong and that there is a god listening
Noah I know you probably will not see this but im saying it anyway. Im 15 my name is Levi and 2 years ago my dad committed suicide and I almost did but thanks to a friend and your music I was able to actually think it through and decide tonight not to. Noah, your music fucking saved me. Thank you and keep up the great music and cant wait for the new album. - Levi
If there's someone you have in mind listening to this song and you don't have anyone to talk to about it, I'd like to hear those stories. Someday, I hope we can smile when we think about them instead of crying.
Maybe not as deep as others, but I think of my ex best friend of eight years. She had been struggling with a lot of things for a while up until 3 months ago when she cut contact with me completely. Although I wish her the best, there’s always a twinge of frustration or sadness that she wouldn’t talk to me before making the decision. I love her so much
For me, this song speaks to addiction, either having been an addict or loved one, this is exactly what it feels like. You can pray, you can hold someone else's pain, and you keep the porch light on hoping they find their way home (or that someone finds them in the darkness) but that's ultimately all you can do. Keep the lights on and be ready.
This reminds me so much of my relationship with my soulmate. He was killed in June 2025. Our son says he visits him as butterflies. Thank you for this.
Still happily crashing out over this song. I truly wish i had recorded myself the first time when it hit that 1:35 mark. I don't know how you do it but god damn i'm so here for it man
This is dumb but my grandpa just passed and he was scared for being alone and even more so with no light :( we always leave the light on for him, we prayed so much after he passed, god I hope he’s ok and that he’s not alone where ever his.
@Schroedicookithank you so much :) today makes a month that he is no longer with us. I’m glad I got see him one last time before he was buried. He was brilliant, so much so that he was coherent an hour before he passed. That’s last time I talked to him, he said he was no longer in pain, that’s was the most import thing to me.
My grandma passed away nearly 4 years ago, and I relate to this so much. You can't ever see them and you pray and hope that wherever they are, they are at their happiest surrounded by people they love, even though you wish you could be there for them. Hope the weight feels less heavy eventually❤
no, but really, i don’t think you’ll understand, it seems like yesterday when i was listening glue myself shut over and over again, when i wake up, until I could sleep and all day along. I’ve always been a ‘the singer read my mind’ girl, and the singer has always been you. This is the talent I’ve been supporting seven, six years ago, my teenage era and now like an adult. Saludos desde uruguay 🇺🇾
was gonna take my own life yesterday thank god i didn’t else wouldn’t of been able to hear this beauty of a tune! right time you dropped this noah i swear to god saved my life again, you have saved my life since 12 years old now 23. never stop making music plz
I am here before 1000 views. Noah is a genius. This album if going to be so amazing. Hopefully I can get good enough to song like this one day. I have just gone through a breakup. It wasn't messy but it was painful. Thank you for your songs Noah. I cannot wait until April when we get the whole thing.
Hear me out, what if this was how God feels with some of his children. “Tell people it ain’t me you want but I guess your my fault 🤦🏼♀️ and I’ll pray for you and be in pain for you I’ll leave the porch light on, heart broken each morning when it’s me that turns it off.”
I was walking into the shops and heard ‘The Great Divide’ playing and I thought to myself, damn I can’t wait till this album comes out and I come home to this! NOAH KAHAN’T MAKE BAD MUSIC
This song applies to my very difficult relationship to my sister. “I’ll pray for you, be in pain for you, heartbroken, and it’s me that turns the porch light off” …this song says a lot.
Noah, I know that you probably won't see this but, I was in a really hard point in my life a couple where as someone who was a happy little girl became a depressed teenager, I would lay in my bed and just cry. But truly your songs made her light up again, smile, cry tears of joy, tears of pain, and tears of acceptance. Which makes life worth its hardships. I really wanted to go to your concert but we were too far behind in the presale and the prices were too high for my family, but someday ill be able to go.
And all the bugs started dancing together in a circle as our leader has delivered once more
Just fyi Noah Kahan posted ur comment on his insta story !!
YER FAMOUS
HE POSTED YOUR COMMENT😂😂😂😂
YESS!! I saw your comment and chuckled and then saw his story and I was like I bet this person is having the absolute best day
@o@oliviadipasquale3591 it would def make my year that’s for sure 🤣
Do you realize that you are genuinely a porch light for millions of people?
real
This comment right here 🙌
!!!
YES!
He better win a Grammy, it’s LONG OVERDUE
Agreed
He doesn't need that fake crap to validate his art! ❤
I agree.
This is his year... trust
@clint-walkerI couldn't agree with you more
I can already tell that this is going to be my top Spotify album of the year
Real
Easily
Same here. Spotify wrapped for number one is already decided with this release.
Stick season has been for the last 2 years!
me too 😂
This song is the feeling of loving someone more than they love themselves, trying to be there for them, then having to watch them destroy themselves.
💔 Exactly I'm going thru rn..
that is definitely his wheelhouse. this song, orange juice, i'll call your mom... full of empathy and pain for others.
The song is about his old self talking to new self I believe
@mikegoulet8825 it's from his mums perspective.
@MsRosie87yeah, that’s what I got from it as well
Someone said this is moms side of call your mom and I’ve never felt anything more
omg I didn’t see that before, but that’s gonna be sitting in my head now
Oh I love love love and h a t e that
Oh my god.
Listening to it with that thought it definitely is a valid point
Listening to them back to back makes me realize this is probably true
" heartbroken each morning when it's me that turns it off" I am quite literally sobbing.
same. My god as a mom now, and thinking of my mom back when ( who is deceased) and listening and ugly crying. This man is such an incredible gift to all of us
Such a savage line!!! I love it.
I can’t wait to scream this song while I’m driving just a little to fast down the highway
Please don't hurt yourself.
@willwalker5951you have my promise
stay safe
Deadass
@abugsworlddI’ve a very safe driver :>
who’s up feeling mentally unwell right now !
Me twin ✌️😭
@RatInAHat_1me breakup
Post shift and on my period not a single dry eye in this house 🥀

I'm at work and feeling reaaaaalllyyyyy bad right now
"You act like we just sit up here and wait for you to reappear" - this man is reading my journal I swear
istg he just might be!!😭😭
How dare you as soon as the seasonal depression starts to leave you ramp up the regular depression
No right I'm just starting to feel better, but his music makes em feel really really good
His target audience is on the south hemisphere for this song, we are about to start our seasonal depression
We just had a few days of pretend spring in the New England, there was snow & sleet yesterday. If he dropped this last Friday I could not have handled it! Well timed release!
winter is just approaching in the south hemisphere now, he's gonna get us AAAAAAAA
some of us have summer pattern seasonal depression! perfect timing!
My dad passed away unexpectedly a few years ago and I found myself planning his funeral at 21 and taking care of my mom.

For sure this song is going to become one that’ll help me process grief, so thank you 💕
Sorry you're also grieving. She's lucky to have you.
I'm sorry for your loss. It never gets easier but there are people around you to help ease the grief. Remember to find a shoulder when you need one.
This is your song then, the song that will help you heal. Sending so much love and big hugs to you and your mom. I haven’t lost a parent but my little half brother lost his mom, so my stepmom, when he was only 1. He just turned 4 now. Some losses compound everyday and the magnitude of them, truly, is realised over a lifetime. Till we see our people again ❤
Mom died at 19 dad died at 34 your not alone brother
The one lyric that hits the most is “I’ll pray for you be in pain for you” is that only me?
no, i completely agree. as an empath who isn’t religious, i felt that so hard.
No, unfortunately.
Not at all! We're here and we're crying together
@Ambie093fr 😭
This is better than any therapy session could be!
the banjo recession has officially ended
There's something about a banjo that speaks to my soul!
😂
My dog has heard this song ten times already
Jesus loves you

There is. His name is Jesus and He loves you. Turn to Him and believe in Him and you’ll be in Heaven with Him forever.
We are aggressively back.
Jesus loves you
Noah Kahan has been a literal porch light for me for 3 years… thanks Noah
And thank you for all your support and love Jenni
❤️
And I will always be that light.
How long have you been a fan?
Noah I know you probably will not see this but im saying it anyway. Im 15 my name is Levi and 2 years ago my dad committed suicide and I almost did but thanks to a friend and your music I was able to actually think it through and decide tonight not to. Noah, your music fucking saved me. Thank you and keep up the great music and cant wait for the new album. - Levi
I'm glad you're still here bro
HOW DARE RUclips HIDE THIS FROM ME FOR 2 MINUTES.
RIGHT?!! I didn’t get the notification until it had already been up for 4 minutes 😭😭😭
There’s a strange new video into that’s played first
I LOVE THIS GUY. ... *brnpie*
TRY 26!!!!
Hid it from me for an hour 😭
AND I CHOKE ON THE POISON SPREADING TO MY LUNGSSSSSSSS
Nothing better than a Noah kahan drop on a Friday
If there's someone you have in mind listening to this song and you don't have anyone to talk to about it, I'd like to hear those stories. Someday, I hope we can smile when we think about them instead of crying.
I do..
My younger sister who’s an addict.
@1luvlywriterthis song is perfect for people who love people with addictions and/or mental health struggles 💔
Maybe not as deep as others, but I think of my ex best friend of eight years. She had been struggling with a lot of things for a while up until 3 months ago when she cut contact with me completely. Although I wish her the best, there’s always a twinge of frustration or sadness that she wouldn’t talk to me before making the decision. I love her so much
I STAYED UP JUST FOR THIS LETS GOOOOO
Same!!!! I listened to it as soon as it popped on Spotify!!!
@Noahpowers-5812 i did too!!
Literally was screaming when I realized I unintentionally stayed up just as it came out🥹🥹
This hits different for people in recovery ... ❤ to all the friends who we left the porch light on for ❤ and to those who never came home 💔
We lost two close ones in my community this year. Keep the light on, friend.
Good thing we all wanted to cry and scream tonight
For me, this song speaks to addiction, either having been an addict or loved one, this is exactly what it feels like. You can pray, you can hold someone else's pain, and you keep the porch light on hoping they find their way home (or that someone finds them in the darkness) but that's ultimately all you can do. Keep the lights on and be ready.
😭😭😭
That and/or mental illness. Shit gets weird when you stop taking your medicine.
im so ready for new Noah in the spring
Leaving the porch light on is such a tender tradition. Makes me appreciate my mom more when I come home late.
This is beautiful, it’s waiting for someone to come home but eventually you will never see them again, it’s heartbreaking
I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS !!!!! Thank you Noah 🤍
to rhyme like this
3:33 I'm ascending..
MY WHOLE BODY SHIFTED
EXACTLY
2:00 lyrical genius
Deadass
100%
AND I DONT KNOW IM ALONE IM ALONE IM ALONE....POISON SPREADING TO MY LUNGS, AINT HOLDING BREATH.....everyone wake up shakeapeare is so back
I woke up this morning to news of war, mass layoffs, and bad weather, but music has always been my tool for weathering life's storms
A ladybug landed on my pillow half an hour before this got released…🐞
there’s been a moth in my room for 2 days….
I fear this album may shatter me open😭
This reminds me so much of my relationship with my soulmate. He was killed in June 2025. Our son says he visits him as butterflies. Thank you for this.
As a moth drawn to a flame we’re back here again
listing to a top hit before it goes crazy is just something that will never get old
I’m crying I love you so much
just casually dropping this is crazy Noah.
Peakkk, genuinely a banger from the start to the end!
Zimbabwe let’s gather here 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
0:49 Winter in New York this year.
Can confirm as a Michigander
This is one of those songs that's hard to listen to because of how much emotion it evokes.
✨Every song can be about my mother if I try hard enough✨
Same with the girl I love. I can make ANY song about her
This song scratches a side of my brain that I don’t think has ever been scratched before. It’s literally so good🥺
"Heartbroken, each morning when it’s me that turns it off" this just hits hard
Kurt Vonnegut is undoubtably smiling down at the use of so it goes, so it goes, so it goes…
Still happily crashing out over this song. I truly wish i had recorded myself the first time when it hit that 1:35 mark. I don't know how you do it but god damn i'm so here for it man
having home-made caprese salad and gold kiwis for lunch, and listening along to Noah's new song. a perfect afternoon.
UNDER 10 MINUTES CLUB!!

The Porch Light on the House in Nebraska.
I love you for this
Porch light on....a house in KY.
Bruh

This is dumb but my grandpa just passed and he was scared for being alone and even more so with no light :( we always leave the light on for him, we prayed so much after he passed, god I hope he’s ok and that he’s not alone where ever his.
This broke my heart. I am sorry for your loss and I too hope he’s not alone.
@Schroedicookithank you so much :) today makes a month that he is no longer with us. I’m glad I got see him one last time before he was buried.

Noah khan is the only reason I'm still alone to this day. I feel so much less isolated with his music

Waking up to a new Noah Kahan song… it’s gunna be a good day.

I was walking into the shops and heard ‘The Great Divide’ playing and I thought to myself, damn I can’t wait till this album comes out and I come home to this! NOAH KAHAN’T MAKE BAD MUSIC
The knowledge that this is his moms pov kills me 😭
I’m never going to recover from this album I can already feel it
This song applies to my very difficult relationship to my sister. “I’ll pray for you, be in pain for you, heartbroken, and it’s me that turns the porch light off” …this song says a lot.
So beautifully heartbreaking. As a mom, I pray I never know the real depth of this song.
Kudos to the maker of the video. It's stunning.
Noah out here doing a lot for the therapy industry
BEEN WAITING BRO LETS GO
Noah, I know that you probably won't see this but, I was in a really hard point in my life a couple where as someone who was a happy little girl became a depressed teenager, I would lay in my bed and just cry.

the random cricket outside my house started screaming as soon as i started playing this
THIS HONESTLY IS GIVING STRAWBERRY WINE

Ready to be sobbing guys
