NEON LIGHTS

      ABOUT

Released on May 15 2021, NEON LIGHTS marks my second solo release. A song about friendship and loneliness, this song is a deep emotional dive into a world of monk robes, fog machines, and neon.



Below is a Spotify playlist of some of the music that was involved in the process for NEON LIGHTS. Music from bands likes STARFLYER 59 and SLOWDIVE played an instrumental role in shaping the sound of this song, and the stories behind music from FRENCH 79 and THE SMASHING PUMPKINS helped me write the lyrics. Throughout the entire process of writing and recording this song, I listened to a lot of these artists along with others like DOOK WALT JR, MY BLOODY VALENTINE, and SLOW CRUSH.


      LYRICS

the neon lights, they're flashing by

as i bow my head and begin to cry

the neon lights, they're turning blue

i'm with my friends, i'm here with you

here with you


the tears i know won't start to come

till the sun goes down and i'm in my home

the neon lights, as they turn blue,

my deepest fears feel far too true

far too true


the neon lights, they show the way

as the daylight fades and the world turns gray

a calming voice through the dark of night

faces bright in the neon lights


the neon lights, they show the way

as the daylight fades and the world turns gray

a guiding hand to what is right

laughing loud in the neon lights

oh, the neon lights


our time is up, the game is won

the brotherhood and the setting sun

the setting sun is turning blue

like the neon lights that we all knew

we all knew


the neon lights, they show the way

as the daylight fades and the world turns gray

a calming voice through the dark of night

faces bright in the neon lights


the neon lights, they show the way

as the daylight fades and the world turns gray

a guiding hand to what is right

laughing loud in the neon lights

oh, the neon lights
