“Honesty” shapes an inspiration from an uplifting development into a rhythm-driven melody with infectiously energizing crescendos. The first crescendo is the most effective, because it occurs while the listener is increasingly surrendering to the calmness of an engaging piano. Almost 30 seconds into the single from Noah Reid, guitars and percussion change the musical directive of “Honesty.” While a later crescendo is more subtle (at 3:18), it is equally appealing.
The writing of “Honesty” was inspired by the emotion of new love. Noah Reid explains the song as being a musical embodiment of “the moment when things just seem to click and you feel a kind of energy you didn’t think existed, and all you want to do is give that person all of your time. Suddenly things feel possible again, you know you belong somewhere and with someone.”
“Honesty” is the first single released from Noah Reid's upcoming sophomore album “Gemini.” Album pre-sales are available on iTunes. Reid is currently on tour to promote the album, which is scheduled to drop in May 2020. The tour dates are included at the bottom of this post. Not surprisingly, most dates are sold out, including the San Francisco visit to The Independent.

The homepage of his website (http://www.noahreid.com/) permits a choice between “Music” and “Acting.” As best described in press content from Canada's baselineMUSIC:
Born in Toronto, Reid is known mostly for his work on television, film and stage, including his role as Patrick on the incredibly popular sitcom Schitt's Creek. It wasn’t until recently that the world got a glimpse of his serious musical talent. With a songwriting style that touches on the singer-songwriters of the seventies and an honest, contemporary delivery, Noah Reid is a combination of old and new, of polished and rusted over. ‘Gemini’ is Reid’s second studio album, produced by Matthew Barber, it will be released in May 2020.

Lyrics of “Honesty” by Noah Reid
Yeah, here comes the honesty
I want you to promise me
The way this feels right now is how it’s gonna always be
Yeah you gotta promise me
‘Cause you got an artistry that I’ve never seen before
The way that you are with me
You took some photographs
And everything overlapped
And all those images of people and places and faces they were just floating past
Like cars on the overpass
And I don’t know if you noticed that as you held on to your hat
My heart and soul were also holdin’ back
And oooh, I know everything changes
But oooh, my God you’re speaking my language
Yeah, Yeah only the honesty
If we’re doing it properly
Then what you have on me is called a monopoly
It’s like I’m part of your property
Goin’ down like a fallin’ tree in a forest no one’s found
But I do make a sound when I fall down, obviously
And oooh, I know everything changes
But oooh, my God you’re speaking my language
And oooh. now it feels like all I can say is
That oooh, my God you’re speaking my language
