Name: Nic Red Wing (Only God Forgives)
Duration: P00H04M01S
Description: Neon Waves was Jacob's first band ever. Formed in 2010. Song influenced by the modern day application of Stoicism and general acceptance of the random/chaotic/temporal world around us. And the shittiness of Only God Forgives by Nicolas Winding Refn. Seriously. Don't bother with that movie. Also the title came from Justin's weird form of dyslexia or something. Who knows.

about

Neon Waves was Jacob's first band ever. Formed in 2010. Song influenced by the modern day application of Stoicism and general acceptance of the random/chaotic/temporal world around us. And the shittiness of Only God Forgives by Nicolas Winding Refn. Seriously. Don't bother with that movie. Also the title came from Justin's weird form of dyslexia or something. Who knows.

lyrics

I was watching a Ryan Gosling action movie when the existential vacuum kicked in.
I'm not embarrassed when Only God Forgives.
I was only two Steel Reserves in
wondering why only God... can... forgive.

I don't even want to go outside
with all the skeptics in my head sometimes

And all that I need is some Montaigne or Epictetus
its the aesthetic I need and the ideas I'm feeling.
I want you for me. All I need is a jump cut and a promise
feeling pointless like a mistake back in the Neon Waves days.

Got Montaigne in my brain.

And all that I need is some Montaigne or Epictetus
its the aesthetic I need and the ideas I'm stealing.
I want you for me. All I need is a jump cut and a promise
feeling pointless like a mistake back in the Neon Waves days.
