This dude changed his whole life because he wanted to and now he's succeeding, inspiring...

[trodull]

Joji: *rides a motorcycle in a wedding dress*

He still got it

[rain-wkqy]

Okay but Joji riding on a motorbike in a wedding dress is iconic.

[fareskh]

Listening to joji is like fighting depression with depression

[emiliozires]

Hes done basically everything and is 26.

[xThatWhiteKidx]

Had to rewatch this after watching the music video for Run.

[collateral]

I just hope Joji's nicer to George than Frank was.

[diabolicaldebacle]

Sometimes I miss our Papa Franku, but then I remember what a blessing Joji and his excellent music is.

[riverpool]

Can we just appreciate how good he sings at 1:53.

[svengali]

He went from entertaining depressed boys to depressed girls. Nicely done.

[Nathansv]

I know I’m a little late to the party.

Just found out this guy is filthy frank.
I’m so fucking proud of him. Like, he changed his life for the better and pursued his dreams and he’s fucking killing it.
This guy is an inspiration.

“She just want a test drive”

Good for you. In my situation, she didn’t even want to hop in the car.

[shay.w.]

The girl he's with only wants a short relationship hence "Test drive", while he wants a long one, a "long ride". The clock he's holding falls out of his hand because he's running out of time (literally) to be with her. He is seen suspended while wearing a straight jacket because he feels like he can't do anything, about her leaving him. He is wearing a vr headset on the motorbike because he can't see reality, only his fantasy about her. He also can't see where he's going, but bringing the girl along with him. He's wearing the wedding dress because he wants to marry her, but she's not wearing wedding attire, since she doesn't want to, she just wants a fling. He is seen wearing the spinner hat, a sign of innocence, while holding the gun, a sign of violence. This juxtaposition is supposed to show how she's made him lose his innocence and he's grown tough and mean to the world after she ruined him and broke his heart.

Fuck that was long.

[jeremiahterry]

About 2 years ago my older cousin introduced me into Joji music and even filthy frank sadly he passed away but I am thank full for all the memories me and him had. He has showed me so much in life and I will never forget him.

[ThatGuyTySoFlyy]

Frank is like the dad who left for cigarettes and never came back, and Joji is the stepdad that raises us like his own and teaches us to process the pain of frank leaving.

Edit: 9k likes my guy lol

[zeroikaze]

Imagine going to the dessert to bury a body and you find this fella scooting around in a dress hanging from nowhere and shit

[ethananderson]

all three of his voices came out in one song❤

[kennethadam]

[Chorus]
She don't wanna tell lies (She don't wanna tell lies)
She don't wanna tell lies (She don't wanna tell lies)
She just wanna feel alive (She just wanna feel alive)
She just wanted more time (She just wanted more time)
I'm looking for a long ride (Looking for a long ride)
She just want a test drive (She just want a test drive)
Dying on the west side (Dying on the west side)
I'll see you in the next life (See you in the next life)

[Verse 1]
What do you want, babe? (What do you want, babe?)
I don't like when you taunt me (I don't like when you taunt me)
You've been calling the wrong name (Calling the wrong name)
I said what do you want, babe? (What do you want, babe?)
I'm working on my aim (Working on my aim)
I'm hoping you do the same (Do the same)
You got me afraid again (Got me afraid again)
So let me just pray again (So let me just pray again)

[Pre-Chorus]
You gon' jump through hoops
Know how many lines you'll do
Won't matter when you lose
Everything I've done for you

[Chorus]
She don't wanna tell lies
She don't wanna tell lies
She just wanna feel alive
She just wanted more time
I'm looking for a long ride
She just want a test drive (What do you want, babe?)
Dying on the west side (What do you want, babe?)
I'll see you in the next life (Who do you want, babe?)

[Verse 2]
Waiting on a sacrificial life
Waiting on the ones who didn't fight
I told you not to waste my fucking time
I told you never sing that song, you lied

[Pre-Chorus]
You gon' jump through hoops
Know how many lines you'll do
Won't matter when you lose
Everything I've done for you

[Chorus]
She don't wanna tell lies (She don't wanna tell lies)
She don't wanna tell lies (She don't wanna tell lies)
She just wanna feel alive (She just wanna feel alive)
She just wanted more time (She just wanted more time)
I'm looking for a long ride (Looking for a long ride)
She just want a test drive (She just want a test drive)
Dying on the west side (Dying on the west side)
I'll see you in the next life (See you in the next life)
