Japanese Denim --- Daniel Caesar

This post is going to be a little different. I am writing about a single rather than an entire album, and I have to thank Phil for showing me this artist.

Daniel Caesar's single Japanese Denim is something I cannot stop playing lately. He first released this song in 2016 in his Get Out EP which also featured his song "Get Out" (ft Kali Uchis) hell yes. But he re-released Japenese Denim in 2017 on its own single.

Caesar blends soul, gospel, RnB, and blues and it is absolutely beautiful. I can't get over his sound and his production is phenomenal. Listening to "Japanese Denim" gives me goosebumps. He sings about lost love and bittersweet moments that still seem to linger after they're gone. He states that his blue jeans should last him a lifetime and so should their relationship. 

I don't stand in line, I don't pay for clubs, fuck that

But I'll wait for you

I don't like to drink, I don't like to think, fuck that

But I ponder you

I'm bending it over

You're my four leaf clover

I'm so in love, so in love

There's no one above up above

Forever's a long time, yes

My blue jeans

Will last me all my life, oh yes

So should we

I'm spending all this time

Met you at the shop, sun was getting hot, I'm lonely

I'm in the city on my own

Never would've thought you'd be the one, I got a homie

But that's the way it goes

I'm reaching Nirvana

Goodbye sweet Rwanda

High school was never for me

I say let it be, let it be

Forever's a long time

My blue jeans

Will last me all my life, oh yes

So should we

I'm spending all this time

You don't even know me

You don't even know me

I'm hanging from the tree

I'm hanging from the tree
