Tokyo’s Revenge released a new song last night 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 usual high energy and braggadocious 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.
