Tokyo’s Revenge released a new song titled “nothinglastsforever” — a tribute of hope and consolation written after the passing of a close friend. The video which was released today, directed by JMP, emphasizes Tokyo’s pension for emotional lyricism anchored by the acoustic guitar backing. Taking to his Instagram, Tokyo shares:
“This song… this means the world to me, and nothing on this earth means
more to me than this, I stopped posting and took my time to get in the
right headspace before releasing this, not for you guys, but for me… because
I needed to feel okay before I released it, and as much as this song feels sad,
it isn’t a sad song, it’s hope, it’s love, it’s something for me to hold onto.” — Tokyo’s Revenge.
For new fans of Tokyo, this sound is a departure from his usually high energy and bragadocious singles, however “nothinglastsforever” sees Tokyo experimenting with his vocal abilities and stripped back sounds as heard on previously released EP, MDNGHT (SIDE B), and earlier uploads on Soundcloud. The new track comes off the heels of his recent debut label EP release 7VEN (listen here) which features fan favorite tracks “HELL BENT” featuring Kid Laroi and cinematic treasure, “GOTHAM.” Listen to “nothinglastsforever” above, or via link here: https://smarturl.it/TOKYOnlf
