Devendra Banhart(Born 30 May, 1981 in Houston, Texas but raised in Venezuela) is an avant-folk singer-songwriterwhose first few records were released on the Young God Records label from New York City; his most recent CD was released by XL Recordings. He is one of the most popular artists to come out of the new " New Weird America" movement that includes performers such as Faun Fables, Viking Moses, Jack Rose, Jana Hunter, the MV + EE Medicine Show, Currituck Co., Six Organs of Admittance, We the Royal, and many others. He is also a member of the group Vetiver. Banhart is often compared to such disparate artists as Marc Bolan, Daniel Johnston, Billie Holiday, Karen Dalton, Syd Barrett, Nick Drake, John Fahey, and Tiny Tim. His music tends to consist of fairly simple guitar melodies with minimal other instrumentation, and his lyrics are often surreal and naturalistic.

Noah Lyrics
Devendra Banhart
Not everyone can relate, to what you and I appreciate
Not everyone can relate, to what you and I appreciate
..to what you and I appreciate
Not everyone can relate to what you and I appreciate
Noah is a cowboy but nobody knows
His cattle's on that hillside still nobody knows
Not everyone can relate to what you and I appreciate
But I know you'd like to run away
But it's hard with horseshoes made of clay
And the selfish friend that I am says stay
My friend, my friend, my friend, my friend
