Composed for <em>The Hunger Games: Sunrise On The Reaping<\/em>, the folk-pop track follows the singer\u2019s chart-topping 2026 LP, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/behind-the-lyrics-end-of-august-by-noah-kahan-and-how-he-navigates-the-end-of-summer\/\">The Great Divide<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Written specifically for the film, \u201cDraw You Out\u201d finds Kahan thinking about personal evolution and destination. But instead of revisiting his home state, Vermont, the new single takes place in the film\u2019s post-apocalyptic setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>I Carry You on With Me<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Noah Kahan - Draw You Out (from The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping - The Album) (Lyric Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OSdQnT_FhAs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Writing in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DdrRCYQFk_M\/\" id=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DdrRCYQFk_M\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram post<\/a>, Kahan said he \u201cadored the works of art\u201d by <em>The Hunger Games<\/em> author Suzanne Collins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI was already totally connected and inspired by the tragic yet hopeful story of Haymitch and Lenore Dove, and writing a song about the purpose, grief and perseverance through pain that they exemplify was an experience I\u2019ll always be grateful for,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>I carry you on with me,<br>I promised you I would, and I do.<br>And I float around, show up unannounced,<br>In the places that you knew.<br>I draw you out from the edge of my mouth,<br>It feels good to say your name.<br>It\u2019s all I have now, what a wonderful sound it makes.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He describes the many sides that make up each of us, and how we grapple with the darker iterations. Once consumed by the \u201ccoward\u201d and the \u201cfighter,\u201d he feels a kind of freedom. It\u2019s giving in so he can finally leave them behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>I was born with someone else\u2019s face,<br>A coward\u2019s anger and a fighter\u2019s rage.<br>I wait around for them to take my place,<br>And say, \u201cLove, we\u2019re free now.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Till My Feet Touch Ground<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The search continues. Knowing we continue to evolve, Kahan uses a river metaphor here for rebirth. He no longer knows the person he used to be. But there\u2019s hope in the person he might become\u2014leaving behind anger and rage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It echoes his writing on <em>The Great Divide<\/em>. A place can help define us, but it doesn\u2019t have to set the rest of our lives in stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>I was living in a stranger\u2019s house,<br>So I found shelter by the river\u2019s mouth.<br>And I go swimming till my feet touch ground,<br>Till I find something permanent<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Photo by Chloe Kern\/WireImage<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Noah Kahan and The National\u2019s Aaron Dessner reunite for Kahan\u2019s first soundtrack single, \u201cDraw You Out\u201d, from &#8216;The Hunger Games&#8217;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":973477,"featured_media":6064,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"byline":{"profiles":[{"type":"byline_id","atts":{"term_id":316,"post_id":2139}}]},"savage_platform_role_ideator":[],"savage_platform_role_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_senior_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_photographer":[],"savage_platform_role_illustrator":[],"savage_platform_role_translator":[],"savage_platform_role_as-told-to":[],"savage_platform_role_reviewed-by":[],"savage_platform_disable_recirculation":false,"savage_platform_article_type":"news","savage_platform_vice_article_type":"article","savage_platform_article_intent":"","savage_platform_show_affiliate_disclaimer":false,"savage_platform_markdown_available":false,"savage_platform_markdown_version":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"wp_curate_deduplication":false,"wp_curate_unique_pinned_posts":false,"savage_platform_featured_image_caption":"Photo by Chloe Kern\/WireImage","_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"savage_platform_subheadline":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[173,383],"byline":[316],"class_list":["post-6061","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","tag-folk","tag-noah-kahan"],"savage_platform_primary_term":{"category":{"term_name":"Features","term_id":12,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/category\/features\/"},"post_tag":{"term_name":"folk","term_id":173,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/tag\/folk\/"}},"hide_from_homepage":false,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
