About Northern Attitude

On “Northern Attitude“, Kahan uses his upbringing in Vermont, a cold, harsh place, as a backdrop for a lifestyle focused on keeping one’s self and loved ones alive and comfortable through routine and physical preparation, at the expense of connection, community, and “living” over survival. In a moment of self-reflection, Kahan observes how hollow and lonely a life this mindset can result in one living, and although recognizing he may not be able to shed this mindset quickly .

Northern Attitude Lyrics

[00:15.52] Breathing in, breathing out
[00:19.37] How you been settled down?
[00:23.28] You feeling right? You feeling proud?
[00:27.20] How're your kids? Where are they now?
[00:31.04] You build a boat, you build a life
[00:35.10] You lose your friends, you lose your wife
[00:39.18] You settle into routine
[00:43.46] Where are you? What does it mean?
[00:50.31]
[01:07.17] If I get too close
[01:11.17] And I'm not how you hoped
[01:15.04] Forgive my northern attitude
[01:18.01] Oh, I was raised out in the cold
[01:22.83] If the sun don't rise
[01:26.70] 'Til the summertime
[01:30.62] Forgive my northern attitude
[01:33.63] Oh, I was raised on little light
[01:40.65]
[01:44.64] You bought some, you search online
[01:48.74] You're getting lost, you're getting high
[01:52.71] All alone, late in life
[01:56.66] Scared to live, scared to die
[02:00.68] You build a boat, you build a life
[02:04.56] You lose your kids, you lose your wife
[02:08.59] You settle down, you're feeling lost
[02:12.57] You're getting stoned, then kicking rocks
[02:19.69]
[02:36.35] If I get too close
[02:40.58] And I'm not how you hoped
[02:44.34] Forgive my northern attitude
[02:47.42] Oh, I was raised out in the cold
[02:52.22] If the sun don't rise
[02:56.18] 'Til the summertime
[02:59.97] Forgive my northern attitude
[03:02.84] Oh, I was raised on little light
[03:06.96]
[03:39.56] If you get too close
[03:43.45] And I'm not how you hoped
[03:47.54] Forgive my northern attitude
[03:50.70] Oh, I was raised out in the cold
[03:55.06] If the sun don't shine
[03:58.91] 'Til the summertime
[04:02.57] Forgive my northern attitude
[04:05.53] Oh, I was raised on little light
[04:10.38]
[04:21.29] Sick
[04:23.41]
