joji - thom (audio)

[kholathekid]

Joji really killed it when he worked on these beats. It has so much charm to it. The cozy aesthetic of jazz, rough sounds of boombap, basic beats for LoFi, and the percs he does himself.
All of that has such a personal sound that just resonates so much.

[hivemindclips]

he was a real artist back then, no insult to his music now, but this felt so authentic especially knowing that he produced and wrote basically all his tracks around this time.

[niko]

88rising basicly signed every talented asian

[asapkev]

Still sad he didn't fully release Chloe Burbank:(

[Real_Boye]

It's a shame Joji didn't dive deeper into this more "cozy" style of songwriting and lofi production :c

One of my favorite joji songs I remember finding it after Pink Season came out and would listen to it on repeat for hours.

[driedjackfruit]

It’s so nice coming back to this song after 4 years. This used to be the song that would help me fall asleep or pass the time on long car rides, and now that I’m a little older, it just reminds me of the calmer moments in my life. One of my favorite songs for good reason.

[VxLabyrinth]

"double happiness soon" ??? missed this song lol

[sadnessonwheels]

This song connects to me so much because the soft tunes remind me of my time in New York with my then long distance girlfriend, she lived in the Bronx at the time and I was there during December, sometimes it would rain. When we would go to Manhattan and then back to the Bronx we would always take the D-train and one day while it was raining we actually went to Burger King together right after coming out of that very line. To add the cherry on top my nickname in elementary was Thom, with the H in it as well. These are some of the warmest and most nostalgic days in my life and this song brings me back to that very moment.

[Pomomomo]

the "please don't run away" part is my fav

[darruwon]

Oh you guys gonna hit my feels like this

[aaaaaaaapins]

Joji’s lofi is so different. There’s so many going on in one song. So diverse and refreshing. I’ve never loved listening to lofi this much!

[sushji]

I used to listen to this all the time when I was 12

[kristjanm]

If everyone listened to Joji there would be no war I swear

Lyric

Searching for a reason why
Searching where the leaves don't grow, grow, grow

Yo
The pitter patter gave a rather rinse and lather feeling
As opposed to shitty attitudes that made me bitter after laughter
I dearly regretted it
I take the D train to go to BK
I can't defeat rain

And as far as we go
And as far as we go
And how little we know
And how little we know
Searching for the weekend love
Searching where the leaves don't fall
When the land is widow (Oh)
Fall to the ground

Speak to me
Speak to me
Speak to me
Speak to me
Speak to me
(So bright)
Speak to me
(So bright)

And as far as we go
And as far as we go
When the land is widow
Fall to the ground

(So bright)
Speak to me
(So bright)
Speak to me
(So bright)
Speak to me
Speak to me
(So bright)
Speak to me
Somebody
Please don't run away
Speak to me
Speak to me
(So bright)

A true friend of ours was talking on the phone

Please don't run away
Oh, please don't run away
Please don't run away
Oh, please don't run away

[shana]

im so proud and happy for george. like look at this man he became successful twice in his life in two different fields.

[chiefgarvey]

I want every song he produced in this period to be released. I don't expect this sound to comeback but I would love to have heard what else he made.

[Sayandmc]

I still want more of this from Joji. Though the newer songs are good. These hold a special place in my heart.

[AFROFUTURISM]

I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THIS SONG WTFFFF

[Taganist]

Damn you wanna bring us into the new year catching a feeling huh?
