Musician Noah Kahan is known for his tunes that evoke memories of life in New England, with songs like Northern Attitude and Homesick discussing life growing up in the Northeast states. But one song might appeal a bit more to the skiers and snowboarders of the region.
The lyrics of Paul Revere seem to focus on how small New England towns have changed over the years, specifically mentioning New Hampshire’s “Live Free or Die” license plates. In a song that mentions how towns have lost their heart, Kahan specifically calls out Vail for buying up a heap of ski resorts.
“This place had a heartbeat in its day
Vail bought the mountain and nothin’ was the same” – Noah Kahan’s Paul Revere
The song, found on the album Stick Season (We’ll All Be Here Forever”, is not Kahan’s most popular song, but it still has a total of 82,104,086 listens on Spotify (as of when this was written). Plus an alternative version of the song that features Colorado based artist Gregory Alan Isakov has 22,190,298 listens on Spotify. That’s a whole load of listens!
