Brooklyn solo-artist Noah Gönci caught our ears with this passionate bedroom-pop jam he calls “Things Are Not The Same.” With a warm, home-recorded flavor, “Same” is powered by it’s threadbare acoustic guitar strumming, twinkly keyboard atmosphere, and Noah’s forlorn vocal presence. The song has a pretty somber backstory – here’s where Noah was coming from when he penned it:

“‘Things Are Not the Same’ is about how going back to my hometown after the death of my father has been eerie and unsettling. It’s about a very sad nostalgia that lingers in the back of your mind.”
