Everyone talks about how good 68 is, and it is a beautiful piece of art. But this, this song is an actual masterpiece. Nolan Taylor, you are special my friend.
This song is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It is quite literally saving me through one of the darkest periods of my life. I sing along to it. This song is therapy.
Never before have I found art that's reached me like your work has, Nolan. It's unfathomably haunting, yet familiar to me. I long to hear more from you, friend. Thank you.
I just found you. 68 is exactly what my life was growing up. My Dad got us through but then died early in life. My mom was an alcaholic and drug us around the country until I was old enough to leave. I was 16 when I left and 17 when I went in the Army. Up until the day she died she would take from me. I get exactly what you are saying when you say," I'm done spending my money on you".
My brother passed away 2 months ago and shattered my whole world. I found your music just before it happened and it has really helped me. Thank you and keep it coming man
So many thoughts are running... oh no , me out of my own time! If there was ever a set of lyrics that summed up my life. And then that beautiful whistle that heals the soul , it was if my Papal was alive again sounded just like him! You are talented man and a new safe haven for me! 🙌💚✨🫶✨🩵🙌 #Ohio
Your love is the only thing that's helped.............❤it hits so hard saying the people we have supporting us are everything the Shadow is always there ..
Three weeks ago today my partner of 7 years ended his life. He loved this song. The depth of what you must have gone through to write this must have been very deep. If you ever play in Northwest Arkansas, I would love to see you. Keep on Nolan, darkness is beautiful. We just have to remember to come back up for air.
Man, this is amazing bro! We found 68! And then this, you truly the next billionaire! Make sure you keep the HEART in it! You got it dialed in brother!
Unreal….so many things I wanna say but it’s like I can’t. Nolan puts me into some kind of meditative state and I can’t explain the feelings I get. It’s so many happy and sad thoughts I don’t know where to begin.
Listened to this on repeat today, been really going through it lately. Every. Single. Word. hits home for me over the last 6 months, including listening to the behind the song commentary. Masterpiece brother. I hope I make it too.
Your amazing. Your voice is soothing and brings out some severe sadness. The love for my husband and the mental health that both of us endure. 15 years together. Your music speaks to us. It is obvious you have also been thru a lot. Thank you.
I am a recovering addict I found this song and I takes me back to the darkest part of my addiction and I is a reminder for me of what it was like in those times like he's si ging about me it a amazing and beautiful song
I absolutely LOVE your music and your outside vinyl sessions so much, such beautiful scenery and chill vibes. Pease consider continuing that throughout your music career! You will go so far! ❤
I just wanna say, there was a point in life during my service that I felt alone (wasn't in a combat job). In Japan far from home, pushing everyone away and slowly disappearing myself. I had a friend with me who took her own life and man, it tore me up inside and I wasn't sure if I too would ever come home because of that Darkness or if she had the right idea because that emptiness was heavy and hurt so much. I never thought I would find that feeling again but this song is just brilliant. It reminds me of where I was when I was and how lucky I am to be where I'm at now. Thank you brother!
All I can say is that I hope that shadow stops lingering. I dealt with depression for several years and it ain't no joke. This is a beautiful song and I'm glad you were strong enough to share it with us. Best of luck to you
All your stuff is beautiful and from the heart. True feeling in all of your music, truly inspiring. I am moving over to northeast Kentucky in the coming months and hope to get the chance to see you live. Love your stuff bro, keep it up!
Nolan.... wow man just wow! Not only do I absolutly love your music but everything I hear (and not just words) hits home... I love how you belt out the music I love how you close your eyes and feel the song! I'm rooting for you over here in indiana!!! Not for fame and fortune but because the world needs to see hear and feel what you have to offer my friend! I hope one day to see you in concert and experience the emotions in person❤ thank you man!
No idea how youtube led me to your channel but i'm so glad that it did. We are all fighting our own battles independently, but through songs like this, even just for a short moment, we are fighting together. Love from the UK!
Nolan..i wanna applaud you brother. You seem to tap into that deep recess i have that hurts to acknowledge. Found through you and ZB that ive needed this the whole time. Thanks man. Im forever indebted.
This song, and the backstory you've posted quite literally saved my life. It gives me hope for the future. Please don't ever stop. You are a beacon of light for those that are surrounded in darkness.

He's a master at story telling and has mastered his craft incredibly well. I think they are all masterpieces.

He should be famous!! What is going on RUclips your slacking!! He’s a star ⭐️ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

Your music is so raw it makes me smile and cry at the same time dont stop doing what your doing brother
Something about the rawness just reaches parts of the soul most music doesn't... Music that means something.
If you never knew addiction, you’ll never understand!😅
Brother your music is therapy! keep pouring your heart out! 🙏🏻
Sir wicked ways 68 and darkness will forever be a part of my life
68 and now this? You have a fan for life. Keep doing what you are doing brother.
Nolan, my friend
If you could stop ripping my guts out
That would be great
Please come to the Philly area.
Nothing but love ❤❤❤
Nolan Taylor is a treasure man
My brother passed away 2 months ago and shattered my whole world. I found your music just before it happened and it has really helped me. Thank you and keep it coming man
How is he not a star?!? With songs like this….
Because fame is all marketing, talent is optional. There's so many insanely talented unknown or little known artists out there
i can´t relate at all to the lyrics having a functioning family and being the furthest from depression, but this song really touches me
So many thoughts are running... oh no , me out of my own time! If there was ever a set of lyrics that summed up my life. And then that beautiful whistle that heals the soul , it was if my Papal was alive again sounded just like him! You are talented man and a new safe haven for me! 🙌💚✨🫶✨🩵🙌 #Ohio
Cool Cat his gramps taught him how to whistle
Sitting here in Korea a couple thousand miles away and this song is making me feel like I am not the only one
Mmmm this one touches my heart and soul 💯🔥🔥🔥
Proud of you Nolan Taylor. Keep everything up! You're great.
I cried so damn hard listening to this 😢
Your love is the only thing that's helped.............❤it hits so hard saying the people we have supporting us are everything the Shadow is always there ..
Looking great man! This song is wonderful ❤ keep it up
Nolan is on his way to becoming a legend. Every song is perfect in its own way. What a songwriter. What a musician.
Thank you, Nolan. It was so awesome to meet you.
My family are grieving to this song brother. Very beautiful.

One of my favorites Nolan.
This is the one i heard FIRST. But you saved a life today, dude. It's embarrassing and shameful to admit. But its god damn true.
Wow. Just wow. Blows me away.
New favorite artist. 🔥🔥🔥
Your voice is beautiful on this… and the song is so good! 💔
The lyrical detail is phenomenal, well done!

Hitting very close to the heart for some of us. Hope it has been as cathartic getting it out as it is for us to hear. See ya in Cincy sometime.
So damn glad I found your music. Been listening non stop for days. Thank you for sharing your story with all of us.
3:42 isn't nearly enough of this!
Love the music man! You definitely deserve the fame!
Heard you play this in stl reminded me of why I’m sober. I no longer have to look out my window and wish I was sober 😊
elite song
Unreal….so many things I wanna say but it’s like I can’t. Nolan puts me into some kind of meditative state and I can’t explain the feelings I get. It’s so many happy and sad thoughts I don’t know where to begin.

Keep fighting, keep moving forward. It’s not going to be easy, but one step at a time. You can do this.
Listener from aus, recently come across your music, honestly I wish I could see you live

Can't get over how your music moves me. 68 reminded me of when I was young, this reminds me of present day. You're telling my emotional story, to me.
A masterpiece!
