I’m a 35yo man who was raised by a mother who was an addict that suffers from BPD, and I literally can’t listen to this without boohooing. It was mine and my sister’s childhood. Thanks for this. Not that I would wish that upbringing on anyone, but it’s nice to know we’re not alone.
The rust belt has been Raped by the Sacklers and robber Barrons long enough. They better quit F%&KING with them. There will be a braveheart situation soon.
For those of us who can relate with this song on a personal level, this is our anthem. Neglectful parents, cold sleepless nights, maybe dinner maybe not. Multiple schools multiple marriages/divorces multiple step-parents. “Im through with you”
I'll be 41 next month, this song knows my childhood too well. If there are this many of us in this generation that this song sings to our hearts, can you even imagine what our parents went through to get to be how they were/are? Definitely not an excuse at all, I wouldn't put someone I can't stand through the childhood I had. But man, I'm so happy there are so many of us still hanging on and hopefully breaking these cycles for the next generation.
I literally can't get enough of this song, how raw and real, my God, he makes me feel the story he's telling in a way few songs do anymore. I expect music to make me feel something and this gives me tears and goosebumps. That is what I want a song like this to do. Perfect.
Wow “OUTSTANDING!” This is coming from his heart and soul ! What a Amazing voice and man he is so talented! I hope he gets far and he deserves to be Recognize!
Lighting up cigarettes, in the seventh grade,that’s what my mother taught me Well she was falling asleep, driving down 68 I drove just to get us back safe Wishin hard, that I could escape Trippin down all the steps of the local school bus Wishing I didn’t have to go home Oven was heating the house, if our electric was on I hope dad left money for us Cause three days and I haven’t had much And I’m tired of being nice,I just don’t have it inside me I can’t take much more shit from you And I have cut you out of my life You love me when you need a high I’m done spending my money on you Oh and if dad was off, then boy we were gone Driving round listening to tunes Cause we had peace of mind, if she couldn’t find us We’re all constantly on the move My whole life I’ve I’ve been running from you Yeah, and I’m tired of being nice I just don’t have it inside I can’t take much more shit from you And I have cut you out of my life You love me when you need a high Im done spending my money on you Yeah I’m done now and I’m through with you And I’m through with you, yeah And I’m tired of being nice, I just don’t have it inside me I can’t take much more shit from you and I have cut you out of my life You love me when you need a high I’m done spending my money on you Cause I’m through with you And I’m through with you.
Honestly this song brought back so many painful memories that I just sat here and cried, the worst part is that my awesome wife wanted to hold me and couldn't understand why I didn't want her to. Still trying to just get through it at 40 y/o and it's still hard.
@@chipdoesitbetter I’m so sorry for your pain brother. Unfortunately the only way for a wound to heal is often to lance it first. Don’t waste your pain. Pursue healing. I believe if you ask Jesus into those broken and vulnerable place they can be healed. God bless your journey and the path you walk.
As a nearly 40 year old fully disabled combat veteran myself, I grew up in a “broken family” and we lived with my Mother who was an abusive alcoholic because my father was a truck driver and didn’t know how bad it was for us until years later at which point he took us away from her. She went from the “perfect” family to living on people’s couches with NOTHING until she ultimately succumbed to cancer which she left undiagnosed until it was too late. My sisters kept relationships with her because they each had kids of their own and wanted them to have their grandmother in their lives. I DIDN’T, I stopped talking with her and I NEVER FORGAVE HER, and as an Avowed Atheist I’m not sure I ever would’ve. If there was a heaven (which obviously I don’t believe there is) I don’t know if she would be in it.
Nolan, I remember you from high school, congratulations on following your dreams and making it this far, I enjoy seeing you on your journey. This song is amazing and I'm sorry you went through that. I hope you're healing.
@@NolanTaylorMusic love this song man. I’m sure I speak for too many when I say this song resonates with my soul. From the cigs way too early, not wanting to go home, the drugs, not having what most folks would call necessities. Can’t picture giving my kids the childhood I had. I’d die before I let that happen. Comedy music has became my outlet for dealing with these things. You wrote the song I couldn’t and I gotta love ya for it. Thanks man 🙏
Im 38 and haven't heard any song ever hit home like this one. Not going to get into my childhood, but i have 4 children of my own now. Ill never understand how a parent could ever hurt their children. Its beyond my comprehension that a mother or father could make choices that would hurt your own child for the rest of their lives. Dad loves you more than anything girls.. if you ever stumble upon this. I did the best I could with you all... Always take care of one another.
I keep coming back to this song. I had a great mom but my best friend had the mirror image of this guys home. He took his own life when he was 20 years old, 19 years ago. I don't know you brother, but i love you more than you know
As an addict that decided to get clean for my wife and kids, over a year clean now and it was the best choice I could've made as a responsible parent and husband. Hearing this side of the story,the pain and hurt that it put you through. And just knowing that could've just as easily been me, putting my wife and kids through such heartbreak is devastating. It also helps me to know that the struggles I have overcome are worth the fight and my wife and kids always deserved better of me. Thank you for telling an amazing story ❤
Hang in there! I haven’t walked in your shoes, but I have walked next to some who have. I know some days are really hard, but nothing of value comes easy. I’m rooting for you and your family.
This song speaks words so many broken hearts can’t say out loud….god bless the children who lived this. God bless Nolan for this art…hurts to hear but heals to sing along with it.
Here's to all the children like me that was raised in a broken home that are try to find in themselves what they didn't receive as a child. You're worth it, my friends. Keep going. ❤
@@caseyfelella7450the best we can do is make sure our kids have it better. Many days I’m working from 8 am to midnight, just to make sure the electric is on and there’s food in the fridge. Otherwise I’ve failed them.
I thought it was important that the lyrics to this masterpiece be posted: Lighting up cigarettes in the seventh grade That's what my mother taught me As she was falling asleep driving down 68 I drove just to get us back safe Wishing hard that I could escape Tripping down all the steps of the local school bus Wishing I didn't have to go home Oven was heating the house if our electric was on I hope dad left money for us Its three days and I haven't had much And I'm tired of being nice I just don't have it inside me I can't take much more shit from you And I have cut you out of my life Love mе when you need a high I'm done spending my monеy on you And if dad was off, oh then boy we were gone Just driving 'round listening to tunes Because we had peace of mind if she couldn't find us We were all constantly on the move My whole life I've been running from you And I'm tired of being nice I just don't have it inside me I can't take much more shit from you And I have cut you out of my life You love me when you need a high I'm done spending my money on you I'm done now and I'm through with you And I'm through with you, ya And I'm tired of being nice I just don't have it inside me I can't take much more shit from you And I have cut you out of my life You love me when you need a high I'm done spending my money on you Cause I'm through with you And I'm through with you
@@Stillerzfan1 My heart cries for him and children having to deal with parents like this. Listening to these lyrics, so very sad. I had to work two jobs or the sole breadwinner most of my marriage to my first. I stayed 20 yrs in fear of him. It ruined my oldest daughter,...and left my youngest daughter, hating her father. They only made up a day before he died, which left her with scars to heal over time. I'm living with guilt I didn't leave sooner. Maybe my girls lives would've been different, happy.
In my opinion this is the most raw and emotional voice I've ever heard. I could literally feel his pain through my phone. That's magical, that's true music. ❤
I don’t think I have ever had a song reach in the depths of my being and pull out so many raw emotions and tears from my body. I have been sobbing to this song for hours now on repeat. I relate to this song so very much. The pain behind the chorus takes me to my knees. This was my childhood. I suffered in silence, but I remember all these feelings and phases. Geez.. this is mind blowing how the emotion is so eloquently conveyed. Thank you..
My mother taught me nothing but heart break and addiction, i feel this song in my soul. Im almost 30 and im crying, you're the hero we all needed, just no one let you know. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your music.
I’ve heard him do this song in several different places, but this one…..it’s a fucking masterpiece. You feel it. He bares his entire soul in this one. Thank you Nolan. I’ve listened to this version no less than a hundred times and I choke up every single time.
If my life was "the Truman show", this would be the song playing over the montage of my childhood. Hope someday ill grow tired enough of being nice myself. The song is therapy that I didn't know I needed until I heard it. I fantasize the relief in being able to say it all out loud.
This song didn’t just hit hard, it punched me right where it hurt. I thank God every day for my wonderful mom. Can’t imagine a life without her. Bless his heart. 🥹
This song makes me cry sometimes. Very relatable and the emotion in his voice is wild. Ive been trying to spread this. This dude did a phenomenal job on this. Probably one of my favorite songs
I keep coming back, the passion and true grit he puts into this version is so evident…the hands shaking and true pain in his voice shows how hard this song hits him personally….true storytelling and great musicianship…through a shit situation he’s made a powerful and amazing song
I'm happy to have discovered Nolan, I know we've all seen rich men north of Richmond blow up overnight crazy how has this hasn't?!?! Amazing song gave me chills!!!!!
Nolan is more of a vocal talent than I’ve seen in some time. His song writing touches the soul and his voice has impacted all our our senses. I’m glad to have discovered him through this channel
I've listened to this song probably 50 times in the past 48 hours. I've never felt so much in a song. This is nothing like my childhood, yet I feel like I'd lived this when I listen to it. The heart in this is beyond what music is supposed to make you feel. Truly a masterpiece.
Nolan I just want you to know that this song has suddenly hit a depth within my feelings that I never even fathomed to exist. Thank you brother for the song that so many people didn’t know they needed……thank you
This song hurt on several levels. But I seem to keep listening to it. I, thankfully, don't know about growing up with an addicted parent but I know that feeling of not wanting to go home because of fighting parents. This is easily one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard. I want nothing but peace and joy for this young man.
This hits so close to home. So glad to hear this generations men making music about the pain of life, the darkness & the coldness. It’s giving me chills man.
I've listened to this so many times! It hits so hard, u are not alone, we all feel you with our own stories, we love you! This song is so healing, tysm sir!
Lighting up cigarettes in the seventh grade Thats what my mother taught me As she was falling asleep driving down 68 I drove just to get us back safe Wishing hard that i could escape Tripping down all the steps of the local school bus Wishing i didn't have to go home Oven was heating the house if our electric was on I hope dad left money for us Its three days and i haven't had much And im tired of being nice I just dont have it inside me I can't take much more shit from you And i have cut you out of my life Love mе when you need a high Im done spending my monеy on you And if dad was off, oh then boy we were gone Just driving 'round listening to tunes Because we had peace of mind if she couldn't find us We were all constantly on the move My whole life ive been running from you And im tired of being nice I just dont have it inside me I can't take much more shit from you And i have cut you out of my life You love me when you need a high Im done spending my money on you Im done now and im through with you And im through with you, ya
I hate whenever I hear songs that I closely relate to bc that means this person went thru the same bs I had to go thru, but it’s like a blessing in disguise bc it’s like a voice for the voiceless. And I appreciate it so much. Nolan I hope to meet you one day and shake your hand and just say thank you.
My Mom was a saint, she always made sure I had something to eat even though we were struggling. Upon the sudden realization that I now have to face the same challenge alone I don't know how to find the strength. This song makes me miss my mother so much. I love you man just know that you changed someones life.
When we walk alone we see all of the times we should have said or done MORE. YOUR walk is still ongoing… SHARE that path with another sojourner… we are NOT meant to be alone… much love
The pendulum of life is wild. Your mother, in her neglect and struggles, somehow through this provided you with the emotional fuel and depth to reach within and write music like this. Quite the collateral damage gift...Thanks for sharing this amazing music with us!
