These Dreams by Nick Ailes
Here's a song I wrote called These Dreams.
I was listening to alot of Townes Van Zandt, and Mississippi John Hurt, and dealing with the internal struggles that come along with pursuing a dream of being an artist. Or really any dream that one may feel called to.
It's kinda hard to explain to people sometimes when they ask why I chose to be a songwriter. The truth is I never really felt I had much choice in the matter. Writing songs is just something I've always done to deal with my emotions, depression, and all the crazy thoughts that run through my mind. I honestly don't think I could live my life without it.
It's not about money or fame for me. It's really just about trying to make sense of the world, and trying to maintain my sanity when those dark thoughts take over my mind. I guess it's more of a coping mechanism, or a survival instinct. It's pulling myself out of the dark, and trying to keep myself from becoming a monster. I guess somewhere along the line I realized that other folks were probably dealing with the same struggle, and maybe these songs could help them cope too. At least that's my hope..
So here's a glimpse at my struggle, and my dark thoughts y'all. May it find you and speak to your humanity as well as your soul.
