I don't usually say this kind of thing... But it's true. You just didn't get Neo Yokio's genius. That's okay, none of us knew how excellently it would age. Just apologize and rewatch it. Then apologize again.
Not to be dramatic but VW has been there at every point in my life, literally since I was a teenager
and Ezra has talked about writing music at different periods of HIS life and it's honestly such a joy that I get to feel like he's checking in, like an old friend
it's good to see you pal I love you can't wait to hear what you've been up to
Every once in a while I remember how cool the religion stuff in Neo Yokio is. And I just know S2 would've had even more. I could listen to Ezra Koenig talk about theology forever, does anyone know any interviews where that's the main focus, or at least a good chunk?
