00:00Noah Notice taught me a lot about myself and the way that I like to make music, and it's
00:04also taught me a lot about the industry.
00:07At the end of the day, I just want to make music that I would want to listen to.
00:11Music that speaks to this gut, instinctual feeling that I have and that I love to feel
00:18when I listen to music.
00:20So it's kind of taught me that follow that feeling.
00:23Everything else, all the chatter in the industry, everything else of this is the hit or this
00:27is what's going to work.
00:28Just forget about that.
00:29Put your blinders on and just go with your feeling.
00:39I remember just waking up one morning and sitting on my bed, grabbing the guitar and
00:45just starting to play.
00:46The windows were open.
00:47The birds were chirping.
00:48It was just a beautiful morning.
00:50I just started playing guitar and then the melody and the lyrics just kind of came out
00:56all at once.
00:57The label kept asking us for tempo, tempo, tempo.
01:00We want people to dance.
01:02We want a Maria's up-tempo song, and this was not that.
01:06So it just kind of went on the back burner for a while.
01:08I want to say a year later, I remembered this song.
01:13I sent it to the label and they were still like, this song is interesting, but we need
01:17the tempo.
01:18I was upset.
01:19I was kind of pissed.
01:20I was like, you know what?
01:21I'm just going to do whatever.
01:22And I leaked it.
01:23And then the fans found it, uploaded it on YouTube.
01:27Uploaded it as a podcast on Spotify and they just really gravitated towards it, which made
01:31me really happy because the song is called No One Noticed and it kind of went through
01:36this iteration of nobody noticing the song for what it was and me being so upset about
01:41it.
01:42But then the fans noticed how special I thought it was.
01:44So it became our song and then finally it made its way onto our album, Submarine.
01:49And then it really got noticed.
01:57Maybe I Lost My Mind, No One Noticed is just kind of playing on, you know, you could be
02:11in a room full of people or in a room with somebody that has no idea what's going on
02:17inside of you.
02:19And you know, you could be just going through like the darkest period of your life and nobody
02:24would know and nobody would even try to notice or like try to ask you about it.
02:29So I think at the time I was just feeling kind of like a little bit invisible.
02:33Even though like I understand it's nobody's responsibility to read your mind.
02:36Like I feel like it's your responsibility to communicate like how you're feeling.
02:40But at the same time, it's kind of nice like when people pick up on like little things.
02:45Your nails, like it looks like you've been biting your nails, like are you nervous about
02:48something?
02:49I feel like you can tell a lot by my state of mind based on how my nails are that day.
02:53Little things like that when you can pick up on that are like, hey, like you seem like
02:56you're cold.
02:57Like do you need a blanket?
02:58Like little things like that make me feel like seen and noticed.
03:14It's getting old.
03:16It represents like that it has been going on for quite some time.
03:20And then I'm just kind of tired of this feeling.
03:22I wish that you could understand like what I'm going through.
03:25Even if I explain it, even if I like scream, you know, what's going on, it's not getting
03:30through.
03:31So it's kind of like that breakdown of I guess communication of not being able to understand
03:35each other.
03:36At the beginning of the song, it's like no one is noticing.
03:54Like I feel alone.
03:56Here's where the song is saying, oh wow, like I feel seen now.
04:02Like this warm feeling of somebody understands me.
04:05But knowing that, wait a minute, like this might not be right.
04:10So that's where the back and forth starts.
04:36All of a sudden, it's like you're not feeling seen by people who are actually in the room
04:41in front of you, but you're being seen by somebody through this virtual world, almost
04:46like the movie Her.
04:48You're surrounded by people, but he falls in love with an AI character because he feels
04:54so understood by them.
04:55At the end of the day, we just want connection.
04:58Like we just want to connect with a human being, whether they're in the room, which
05:02is the most ideal scenario.
05:04You can look at somebody's eyes and touch them and really feed off of each other's body
05:09language.
05:10But if that's not there, the next best thing is falling in love virtually, connecting by
05:15just words and connecting by a video, FaceTime, something that's not present, but can be just
05:23as tangible and just as real.
05:32Believe me, I guess I'll get on a plane, flight to your city, excited to see your face, hold
05:43me, console me, and then I'll leave without a trace, come on, don't leave me, it can't
05:51be that easy, babe, if you believe me, I guess I'll get on a plane, flight to your city,
06:01excited to see your face, hold me, console me, and then I'll leave without a trace.
06:10This is the part of the song where that virtual connection tries to make itself tangible.
06:16It's this desperation of like, don't leave me, I will see you in person, I want to see
06:22you in person, I will get on a flight in the middle of the night, show up at your doorstep
06:25in the morning, do a grand gesture to show you just how much this means to me.
06:31I'm a person of grand gestures.
06:33I love romance and I love to be romanced and I love romancing.
06:37I'm like Noah in the notebook, like I'm not like Ali, I'm like Noah, like I will build
06:41you a house.
06:42I don't know how to like build a shelf from Ikea, but I will learn how to build you a
06:45house if I love you enough.
06:49And so it's that gesture of like, I'm just gonna fly to you and show you how much you
06:54mean to me.
07:24So, estás tan dentro de mí, you live inside of me, like you live in every single cell,
07:36you're like vibrating through my body, like you are living inside me because of how intense
07:42this connection is.
07:44Te sigo pensando, I keep thinking about you, te sigo esperando, I keep waiting for you,
07:49I keep waiting for you to change, I keep waiting for me to change, I keep waiting for something
07:53that might not ever happen.
07:57But you're still far away from me, me canso llorando, I'm tired of crying about this,
08:02I'm over it.
08:03Like at this point, I'm just over it.
08:23If we ever were to change, we both know that I've been waiting, waiting.
08:36So this is the alternate alternate ending.
08:38So it's this feeling of, you know, I haven't seen you in a while, I don't know what you've
08:43been up to, I have no idea what's been going on in your life.
08:46I'd like to think that if I ever saw you, we'd be cool and like be chill and like be
08:50friends.
08:51But another part of me feels like if I saw you, I would just completely break down.
08:55And if you ever were to change, we both know that I've been waiting, I've been waiting,
08:59I've been waiting for changes to happen and for us to move on to a new iteration of a
09:06relationship or friendship.
09:07But at the end of the day, I'm kind of tired of waiting too.
09:09So that's going to turn into another extended, stay tuned.
09:21The song covered sense of loneliness, sense of connection, sense of desperation, sense
09:47of, okay, this isn't going to work.
09:49I'm going to leave without a trace.
09:51So I think this alternate ending was, but wait, maybe I didn't want to leave without
09:57a trace.
09:58Like maybe I wanted to stay, but I was, I was afraid.
10:01I was afraid of what my life would be if I went down this path.
10:06I think I was just living in a complete state of fear.
10:09I wanted to communicate that.
10:11I wanted to communicate like, hey, like maybe I wanted to stay.
10:14I don't know if that would have been the right thing or if this would have been the right
10:17path.
10:18And I was afraid to see if it was, but we'll never know.
10:22The music that I like to listen to is just music that like I can put on headphones and
10:26go on a walk.
10:27Like that's how, that's my favorite way to listen to music is to just put headphones
10:30on, go on a walk, be in nature, look at the trees, look at the leaves, like swaying, look
10:34at the birds.
10:35And that's how like I enjoy my music.
10:37So No One Noticed to me felt like that song that I could just put my headphones on.
10:41I mean, I love to dance too, but like I like to be more sad than I do dancing.
10:47That's how I experience music.
10:48I like the sad songs.
10:50There's this playlist on Spotify that I have.
10:52I love Radiohead and there's like Radiohead in order of happiest to saddest.
10:56And I just start it from the end.
10:58So I go from saddest to happiest.
