5 Reasons Noah Kahan is the Purest Human Ever

If you haven't figured it our yet, we're big Noah Kahan fans here at Anthem Candle Co. In a world full of complicated and heavy stuff, it's refreshing to come across someone who's just a pure and genuine beacon of light.

Enter Noah Kahan. As big Busyheads, we're pretty sure we could feature anything he says on our song lyrics candles and love having it in our home. That's why we've dedicated today's blog to counting down five reasons why he's the purest human ever. 

1. He's made in New England, just like our candles

New England people are just made different, and Noah Kahan's roots run deep in the beautiful landscapes of the north country.

Growing up in a place known for its awesome culture and tight-knit communities, his upbringing definitely shaped who he is. His songs speak to our souls because they reflect that introspective and reflective vibe we New Englanders have. Noah's connection to his home turf makes his music feel real and relatable, instantly making us feel connected.

Noah Kahan shows that while New Englanders may be known for being hearty, we also have hearts—and we're not afraid to wear them on our sleeves once in a while.

2. He loves his pup Penny

We all know there's nothing purer than the love between a human and their furry best friend. Noah Kahan's love for his dog Penny, a quirky German shephard,  is just heartwarming.

Not only is she always by his side (and featured on album covers), and he can't stop gushing about her. In interviews, Noah has mentioned how Penny brings him joy and provides comfort during his busy life on the road.

Their bond is truly special, and it's clear that this precious pup means the world to him. And to us, by proxy.

3. He rocks overalls and man-braids like no one else

Noah Kahan's got a killer sense of style that's all his own. Those braids and overalls are his signature look, and he pulls them off like the gentle king he is. His fashion choices show off his unique personality and his refusal to conform to what others expect.

Seeing Noah be confident and true to himself inspires us to do the same. He's a walking talking celebration of individuality. 

4. He shares his struggles

One of the coolest things about Noah Kahan is how open he is about his own mental health struggles. He's not afraid to talk about it in his music and interviews, which is super brave.

By sharing his experiences, Noah has created a safe space for his fans to open up and seek support. Noah's honesty and vulnerability help break down the stigma around mental health and encourage us all to be more compassionate to ourselves and others. I mean...how cool is that? 

We're thrilled to incorporate some of his hopeful messaging into our own candles for mental health, such as our "all lights turned off can be turned on" Call Your Mom candle and our "say whatever you feel be wherever you are" You're Gonna Go Far candle.  

5. He's creative and collaborative

Noah Kahan is all about sharing the love and creativity. From his collaborations with other artists on songs like "You're Gonna Go Far" featuring Brandi Carlile to guest appearances by everyone from Hozier to John Mayer at his concerts, Noah is all about acknowledging the talents of others, and inviting them to share his spotlight. He lifts other people up, and we're here for it! 

In the music world, there have been tons of artists who've made a lasting impact. And Noah Kahan, with his pure heart and incredible talent, is on his way to joining that elite group. 

Noah embodies authenticity in everything he does,  and as we listen to his soul-stirring melodies and heartfelt lyrics, we can't help but think of the legendary musicians who've shaped the industry. While Noah Kahan is carving his own path, he's also following in the footsteps of greats like Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen—with Penny at his side, natch. 

In a world that often values fitting in over authenticity, Noah is a shining example of staying true to oneself.
