After begging not to go to his first lesson, he actually found that he enjoyed guitar. This was due in part to his fantastic guitar instructor, Daniel Harris. Ever since that day, Nolan has only excelled. Early the following year, after nearly six months of lessons, Nolan had his first taste of performing with a blues band. He played in front of approximately 200 people at the “Relay For Life” fundraiser in April 2006 and Nolan fell in love with performing and has yearned to continue. As he’s progressed over the last 4 years, He’s performed in three talent shows in elementary school, played with family friend Mike Schrum’s blues band at various venues, and two years ago (April 2008) he even performed for two nights on a Caribbean cruise ship! On March 20, 2010, he won both the solo and band divisions of the “KIDS GOT TALENT” Talent Show, presented by Puget Sound Music for Youth Association. His prize was studio time to record his original songs. This will provide a new opportunity for Nolan to hone his craft.
Nolan is currently a student at Mason Middle School and is in the jazz band. He continues to excel in academics with all A’s and is only getting faster and more motivated at guitar. If he continues down his current path, and maintains the level of commitment and hard work he has demonstrated, who knows how far he will go? The sky’s the limit.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When they've got nothing for you
You might try and open your eyes
When the mornin says goodbye
When the mornin says goodbye
No, tryin don't feel the same
No, cryin don't feel the same
No, tryin don't feel the same
No, cryin don't feel the same
Feel the same
Spent the night dont ask how it was
Made a friend and now were in love
Thankful that we slept right through our lies
Till the mornin says goodbye
Till the mornin says goodbye
Spent a whole day high on love, dear
Wating time stayin high above, them
Im sure i've, never thought ive tried (no, tryin dont feel the same)
When the mornin says goodbye (no, cryin dont feel the same)
When the mornin says goodbye (no, tryin dont feel the same)
When the mornin says goodbye (no, cryin dont feel the same)
When the mornin says goodbye (feel the same, feel the same)

The song "Morning" by Nolan Garrett appears to discuss the struggle of waking up from a night of partying and possibly regrettable decisions. The opening lines "Waking up is so hard to do, When they've got nothing for you" suggest that the singer is feeling unfulfilled with their current situation and may be struggling to find motivation to start their day. The repetition of the lines "No trying don't feel the same" and "No crying don't feel the same" could signify the emotional numbness that can come from excessive partying and potentially harmful behaviors.
The lyrics also mention the singer making a new friend and falling in love, but also acknowledging that some lies were told during their time together. The line "Thankful that we slept right through our lies" could suggest a sense of relief that they were able to avoid confrontation or facing the consequences of those lies during the night. However, with the morning light comes the aftermath and the potential realization of the weight of their actions.
Additionally, the repeated line "Can I do it over?" further emphasizes the theme of regret and wanting to undo past mistakes. The reference to getting older "just like you" suggests that the singer may be reflecting on their life choices and the passing of time.
Overall, the song seems to explore the conflicting emotions that can come with the aftermath of a night of partying and questionable decision making.
