Man I can’t articulate how well this song touches my soul and brings up such powerful feelings of shame, guilt, hope and grace all at once. Your voice fits your word choice so well. I’m a fan and know you are going places. Keep making songs like this. They do more than you will ever know or see.
No doubt buddy! I just found your music over this past weekend and I have to tell you that your song Darkness is phenomenal. It gave me chills. I remember finding Zach Bryan’s music about 3 years ago and it’s been cool to watch him pretty much blow up now. I only say that because I I truly think that you will do the same. No bullshit. I’ve sent/shown 10 people your music in the past few days and will continue to. If you ever come down to DFW I know of some venues you can play at and it would be badass to catch your show.
I cannot tell ya how much that blows my mind you think that haha. Super appreciative of the kind words I only hope I end up being a tenth of what Zach has become. Hopefully I will be able to venture out that way really. Have been trying to put together some connections down in the whole region but it’s tough. Follow my music pages or page though just in case I do venture out to ya.
I have a childhood best friend that is part owner of a place called Dan’s Silverleaf in Denton Tx and another good friend who manages a cool venue in Justin, Tx. If you put something together let me know and I’d be happy to put y’all in touch.
My addiction is cutting and other forms of self harm.i feel misunderstood all the time because of how i cope and i put this on repeat and cry for hours.thank you for this
I really love your music man. Every song is incredible because of your song writing skills, and that kind of consistency is unreal. Can’t wait to catch a show
God damn brother. Never lose the emotion. 68 hit home and made me a life long fan. As a man who writes about his own trials, you motivate me. You have a beautiful voice and a talent on that six string.
I've been clean for 10 years in april. I had my first child in january of 2015. Two months later i stopped using. I come from a background of severe child abuse, physical, sexual, and emotional. You can get clean. You can stay clean. You're worth so much more than what you've been made to believe. You were wonderfully and fearfully created.
Just discovered Nolan Taylor. All I can ask u, Is why? I've been listening to all his music and I gotta tell u it getting me thru some tough times right now. I hope he knows his music is making. Thank you Nolan...
Omg the raw emotional truth ov the deepest life experiences unreal how much this hits my core stay true nolan and thankyou you music has helped me so much u are definitely 💯 the next biggest guy out there 💙
😢 i cant stop listening. ❤ this has been one of my favorite songs sinceive heard it. Absolutely beautiful id live to learn the cords. The words everything i want to remember this song forever
Sums up my entire mindset while using been clean 3years now and myself and my children are much better for it prayers go out to those dealing with addiction love you all tomorrow is another day
Lyrics: You fall to your knees Throw up your hands You wanna leave home But it’s too hard to swallow All of these feelings, you can’t ignore You know that I care If you cared at all, you wouldn’t ask me to quit I’m happy as can be You’re the one that seems to have a problem with it You see I’m a grown man Don’t you think that I know myself better than you You can ask me to quit Cause you’re worried to shit that I’ll do what I do Health ain’t my problem I’ve been destined for this It ain’t the reason why I’m losing It’s all the other issues In the life that we face It isn’t what you thinks been killing me Okay Okay Okay Why do I always cry? You say I’m losing my mind I slept two days ago You flip all the time I can sleep through the night Sometimes I just don’t want to Yeah I got a lot on my mind You don’t care about my time, or the way that I go I love that you care I hear what you’re saying I’ll hide it from you Health ain’t my problem I’ve been destined for this It ain’t the reason why I’m losing It’s all the other issues in the life that I face It isn’t what you thinks been killing me Okay Okay Yeah, sunken face and cheek bones And looking so thin You talk out your head and you can’t pay attention You’re laughing at nothing And I don’t what to say I tell you how I feel but all you have for me Isn’t okay Okay Okay
Please please please put this song on your spotify profile...It of course is my absolute favorite song of yours an the one thats not amongst your spotify...brother your soul inspires me
men like you who put so much love, pain & angst into their passion inspires me to a degree i cannot form into words. you have a God given gift my friend and i am exponentially relieved to have come across your music. Please, do not stop doing this. I hope to land on the level you are at for my music one day.
Hi Nolan, I'm the guy from the other day who mentioned Kathy's song to you, I've been listening to more of your music and this song is very moving and hits me really hard and I'll tell you why... I lost my girlfriend to anorexia eleven years ago and I watched her die slowly and get thinner and sicker day by day and she used to laugh at me when I told her that she was dying and would say to me okay... I'll be fine, she died. My mental health has never been good and she nearly destroyed me and im still having issues to this day but songs and lyrics like this helps me to deal with the thoughts in my mind, thank you.
Since I discovered Nolan less than a year ago, I haven't been able to stop listening, it's not even a choice. This is my personal favorite of his, but whichever song of his I'm hearing, I feel like I'm with a friend I can relate to.
I could probably count on my two hands how many times I've felt compelled to comment on a UA-cam video. I felt like I needed to here. As both a recovering addict and someone who has lost quite a few people to active addiction this song just hits a little differently. I found you like 2 days ago and I've listened to this song probably 60 times at this point. Nolan, everything, your voice, the lyrics, the guitar it's all fucking perfect. Please please please come to Canada so I can see you live !! Don't ever stop doing what you are doing.
I am certain that you wrote this song for my husband and I. I can’t begin to tell you how much this touches us. It’s insane god bless. I’m a forever fan. You are so incredibly talented. Thank you
Damn Nolan, your music is on a different level. As someone that shared a similar rough childhood then also faced some serious issues that you sing about, your music hits me hard. They're words I can't find the strength to say and it's made me want to start to get back into writing and playing. Thanks man, not sure you'll ever see this, but thank you, and I'm glad you're still here.
There's just certain musicians I feel you stumble upon. Wether by some grand convergence of unknowable purpose mixed with a gnawing familiarity beyond our understanding. (Or just UA-cams repugnant algorithm, hard to say which. Lol) that by the nature of their genuine, heartfelt, and deeply personal means of using music to share apart of themselves while making it known we are all Forlorn sojourners with darkened souls and hidden faces. That like moths to a flame music can draw us together with hope for a better tomorrow. . And you Nolan Taylor, you shine my friend. Like a beacon! Quasar bright, no candle to the sun, for that I Thank you. Such beautiful work.
Nolan, a short of your song 68 brought me to your channel. Im already a huge fan. cant wait to see where u take this. if you r ever in fort worth im there!
Nolan thanks for your nusic...i can really relate to this song. Hope to catch you live sometime soon...im out in Nevada but grew up not to far from you.

“Tell you how I feel but all you have for me is an okay” hit me so hard.

My God you’re incredible. Between this and 68 I don’t know how you do it. Truly blessed with a very rare gift. Thank you brother.
No seriously,I have primally screamed to this song. You get it.
DANG DEEP AF. 🤘🏻😭👉🏻 NOLAN
You. Just. Saved. Me.
Only people that have been there will understand
How is this song more popular. This song describes talking to an addict perfect.
Brother this song is soul tearing good
❤ beautiful
My addiction is cutting and other forms of self harm.i feel misunderstood all the time because of how i cope and i put this on repeat and cry for hours.thank you for this
As someone who has overcome addiction and alcoholism this song hits me hard...
One of the best and most depressingly overlooked artist living in our great country. Keep going brother. We love it up here in Maine.
I need this on Spotify ASAP!
I really love your music man. Every song is incredible because of your song writing skills, and that kind of consistency is unreal. Can’t wait to catch a show
God damn brother. Never lose the emotion. 68 hit home and made me a life long fan. As a man who writes about his own trials, you motivate me. You have a beautiful voice and a talent on that six string.

Thank you for your beautiful soul filled art brother!
I've been clean for 10 years in april. I had my first child in january of 2015. Two months later i stopped using.
I come from a background of severe child abuse, physical, sexual, and emotional.
You can get clean. You can stay clean. You're worth so much more than what you've been made to believe. You were wonderfully and fearfully created.
Was such a treat to see last night in Seattle. Was really something else to see him live
I was there too and was blown away! I got to meet him after, he is so kind. It's rare I am affected like I was seeing him.
I’ve needed this song for so long
Wow Nolan. I'm speechless.
Mate! You're absolutely fantastic!
One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.
Trenchtown rock
Except sometimes it makes the pain real
One love my brother
This is the truest song I've ever heard in my life omg
Gd brother seriously this song hits home
Brother - you have to be the next big thing. Don’t see how that can’t happen.
I sure hope so haha appreciate you for real thank you.
Just discovered Nolan Taylor. All I can ask u, Is why? I've been listening to all his music and I gotta tell u it getting me thru some tough times right now. I hope he knows his music is making. Thank you Nolan...
Omg the raw emotional truth ov the deepest life experiences unreal how much this hits my core stay true nolan and thankyou you music has helped me so much u are definitely 💯 the next biggest guy out there 💙
Found you on Tic Tok today!! Just wow! ❤
My favorite song of yours man, having loved an addict this hits so hard. Please release this song officially
Love it when I find talented artists like him. Cool Song man! Sorry it took me two years to find it.
😢 i cant stop listening. ❤ this has been one of my favorite songs sinceive heard it. Absolutely beautiful id live to learn the cords. The words everything i want to remember this song forever
I don't think I have heard anything this emotionally charged in a long, long time. Amazing song
Sums up my entire mindset while using been clean 3years now and myself and my children are much better for it prayers go out to those dealing with addiction love you all tomorrow is another day
How does this have so few vieuws, let's all try to blow this man up on social media. More people should hear his amazing songs.
He’s going to blow up!!! No doubt.
This song hits different when the love of your life is dead. He died from an overdose and this one just gets it. I hate it but I love this song.
I’m sorry… that’s horrible 😢
Def one of the best songs ever! So many feelings I can not ignore
Lyrics:
You fall to your knees
Throw up your hands
You wanna leave home
But it’s too hard to swallow
All of these feelings, you can’t ignore
You know that I care
If you cared at all, you wouldn’t ask me to quit
I’m happy as can be
You’re the one that seems to have a problem with it
You see I’m a grown man
Don’t you think that I know myself better than you
You can ask me to quit
Cause you’re worried to shit that I’ll do what I do
Health ain’t my problem
I’ve been destined for this
It ain’t the reason why I’m losing
It’s all the other issues
In the life that we face
It isn’t what you thinks been killing me
Okay
Okay
Okay
Why do I always cry?
You say I’m losing my mind
I slept two days ago
You flip all the time
I can sleep through the night
Sometimes I just don’t want to
Yeah I got a lot on my mind
You don’t care about my time, or the way that I go
I love that you care
I hear what you’re saying
I’ll hide it from you
Health ain’t my problem
I’ve been destined for this
It ain’t the reason why I’m losing
It’s all the other issues in the life that I face
It isn’t what you thinks been killing me
Okay
Okay
Yeah, sunken face and cheek bones
And looking so thin
You talk out your head and you can’t pay attention
You’re laughing at nothing
And I don’t what to say
I tell you how I feel but all you have for me
Isn’t okay
Okay
Okay
These lyrics have a lot of errors
@@treyreeves7631
Okay, so correct them?
Don’t read them?
Plenty of options!
He doesn’t say go, he says cope, I think and it’s definitely “tell you how I feel and all you have for me, is an okay”
Please please please put this song on your spotify profile...It of course is my absolute favorite song of yours an the one thats not amongst your spotify...brother your soul inspires me
If you open for City and Colour it would be the greatest show ever. I'm a new and big fan! Please never stop!
A dream!
