My name is nokes. I play and record all the instruments heard. I am 25 years old. I believe my songs possess reason. I write about what I know. I know almost nothing. I know pain. I know love. I know what it is like, growing older. All in all, everything we do should have meaning. Maybe my music has some. Maybe it just is what it is.
peace and love
God bless

I want to check it out bro, I'm in England at the moment, till the end of july, doing a little study abroad in cambridge...got to hit up Liverpool and London, heading to Edinburgh tomorrow, and topping it off with the final round of the british open next weekend, insane man...Studio is sounding groovy man, I'll get a hold of you when I'm back in the states...
Your songs are really melodious, with the aged scratch to their sound. We should probably all know we're growing older; that's really all that matters. Thank you for sharing your music with me.
I was gonna leave you a really cool and clever graphic comment to express my vast admiration for the music, but you disabled HTML., and now I can't think of a single original thing to say.
NOKES, THINKING OF YOU MY SWEET FRIENDS AND SENDING MANY WISHES YOUR WAY FOR A VERY HAPPY JULY 4TH !!! I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE HOLIDAY AND THE BIG LONG HOLIDAY WEEKEND. MY HOPES ARE THAT YOU WILL NOT ONLY REMEMBER OUR TROOPS (PAST AND PRESENT) DURING THIS VERY SPECIAL HOLIDAY BUT ALSO SAY A SPECIAL PRAYER FOR THEM. I HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND I HOPE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO REST, RELAX, HAVE LOTS OF FUN, ENJOY YOURSELVES AND BE ABLE TO SPEND GOOD QUALITY TIME WITH YOUR LOVED ONES, YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS MY WONDERFUL FRIEND. PLEASE ENJOY YOURSELF BUT MOST OF ALL TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE !!!! LOVE & HUGGSSS & BLESSINGS ........ BONNIE
