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
