  • Here we have Nolan Taylor performing his original song "Darkness" in Charleston, West Virginia.
    Last March I went up to visit a friend in West Virginia who happens to be one of the co-owners of the great UA-cam channel that is RadioWV. We hung out for a couple of days and recorded some talented musicians in West Virginia as well as Kentucky. Needless to say it was a great trip and this video is just one of the great things that came out of that week. Hope y’all enjoy this session with the talented Nolan Taylor!

      Same. I used to argue with people in high school that radio music was real country. It was popular. Then by my senior year shit started changing. Ten years later ALL I listen to is shit like this and Oliver Anthony. Oliver has a magic spell over my son. My son can be screaming and I turn on Oliver and he’s locked in. Music is powerful. 🔥🤘🏻🗣️

    I just heard this for the first time. I’ll be honest…. I had to sit in silence for a while after it was over. Dead quiet. I just sat there. And then I wept. And wept.
    I fight a war every day. Every second I’m awake I am fighting tooth and nail. And I’m not alone. There are thousands of us.. millions…. though we know the outcome, we fight.
    Ironic isn’t it, The enemy we battle is the savior we seek.

      I think the key is to strive to be a better 'you'. Be honest to yourself about where and how you can make improvements, but also be honest about the nature of those improvements. In other words, try not to fill gaps against unworkable ideals. Try to improve yourself within the context of you and who you are right here, right now. Then, once improvements are made, your context will change and you might see more opportunity for improvement, but it will be easier because now you have a process that works for you. Good luck.

    Lookin’ out my window
    Wishing I was sober
    Imagery is vivid
    I get lost inside my own head
    Now and then I’m spaced out
    I’ve got so much on my mind
    So many thoughts a runnin’
    Me out of my own time
    Every day I feel it
    Some sort of darkness movin’ in
    And honey I’m so sorry
    If you ever find me cold and stiff
    Cut me down just hold me
    Wont you kiss me on my head
    Nothing I’ve ever done’s to hurt you
    Your love’s the only things that helped
    I can hear all them whispering pines
    And that sweet feel of a perfect moonlight
    And who I see out through the blinds
    It’s the warm of the ?smile?
    But that shadow always lingers
    It’s coming creeping around the bend
    It’s been waiting just to hold me
    Just to hold me in ?movin?
    How can I leave me be
    Your loves the only thing that’s helped
    I swear my pocket watch is closing
    And it’s sending me to hell
    I can hear all them whispering pines
    And the sweet feel of a perfect moonlight
    And who I see out through the blinds
    It’s the warm of the
    Lookin’ out my window
    Wishing I was sober

Brother, I don't even know if that's what this song is about, but you put a lot of those incomprehensible feelings into words in a way most of us can't. And you did it beautifully.
