I honestly doubted that Noah Kahan would make a record better than Stick Season. Though, I guess, it is the Noah Kahan we’re talking about, a man who surpassed himself with each work of art he’s released. I love how all the songs have different meanings, storylines, and characters, but joined together they still form an incredibly unique, strong, and beautiful story. Arguably, the best song on the album is Willing and Able, however, my favourite song has got to be Dashboard. As someone who has dreamt of leaving my hometown and never looking back, this song taught me how my family and friends might perceive me once I leave. Look at you, crossing state lines with your shadow, tryna run away, change your zipcode, turns out you’re still an asshole. This album (among many) has changed my entire life. I would just like to thank Noah for being so vulnerable in his work, and let others see that it’s okay to feel the way we do.
