Lyrics:
[[[ pouring rain, it's pouring rain out
i'm afraid i might forget, what if the good memories start to fade out,,,
things change--- but i get flashes of home now and then in my head.. do you remember my civic? dark green, dark green :) with tan seats tan seats and no a.c. --- it was sweet 2 me
i had a wide angle smile and a mouth full of gold
candy eyes, candle eyes burning bright down the road thru carolina
warm air, carolina###
slowly.... days get grayed out; what if i can't fix my head?
i don't wanna forget us with the wide angle smile and a mouth full of gold... candy eyes candle eyes burning bright down the road thru carolina
........
i found a photograph all faded and bunched, i had a camo hat leaning on a red truck, on nico's red truck... he moved to baltimore city, then he moved to philly, we don't speak much the last year's been so busy. i can't keep up the years move by so quickly, i can't keep up... i rode my bike to the ymca, got my first paycheck from working at day care, it got wet cause it rained on the way back but i loved the smell, so i just inhaled i stopped in a field for a minute when night fell, the big m00N burned and the rim of the bike wheel was white from reflecting; i don't wanna forget the way it felt: one summer hot, slow, wet
i had a wide angle smile in these pictures that you took... it's strange i forget thats how i looked... it's strange how much can change in just a short time, it's strange i'm getting older i'm afraid ... i found a photograph all faded and bunched. i had a camo hat, leaning on a red truck
on my friend's red truck

[@killworth2324]

me and my girlfriend used to listen to this and lay on her bed and just sit there. we wouldnt talk or anything. all of his songs we'd listen to actually. it was the best feeling in the world. we broke up last month and now whenever i hear a dijon song i start to cry.

[@chica13lexi]

dont worry I know where you are coming from but I think those memories attached to the songs will eventually not hurt so much as time goes by. Its normal to think of the person you used to listen to specific songs but eventually it wont be a sad feeling anymore you'll just start to forget and make different memories to the different songs.

[@audlight2376]

@@chica13lexi this is a beautiful comment, even memories that are heartbreaking to relive become sweet again after enough time. I liken the song to opening an album of my past experiences. There's something special about piling on significant moments to a cherished song over the years

[@jenn9432]

this made me cry. i'm so sorry.

[@monlocohd3553]

The genius of the last rap verse, he starts by saying: "on nicos red truck", and continues talking about memories from his younger times? He finishes the songs last verse by saying “my friends red truck” symbolizing the fact that he has forgotten whose truck that was; the main premise of the song is growing up/ forgetting about memories, its emphasized when he says "thats strange i forget thats how i looked, its strange how much can change in just a short time".

[@keeeks1694]

You blew my mind dude. Made my eyes water. We first hear this, the memory in great detail: i found a photograph all faded and bunched, i had a camo hat leaning on a red truck, on nico's red truck... he moved to baltimore city, then he moved to philly, we don't speak much the last year's been so busy. i can't keep up the years move by so quickly, i can't keep up... i rode my bike to the ymca, got my first paycheck from working at day care, it got wet cause it rained on the way back but i loved the smell, so i just inhaled i stopped in a field for a minute when night fell, the big m00N burned and the rim of the bike wheel was white from reflecting; i don't wanna forget the way it felt: one summer hot, slow, wet Then we hear the memory fade: ... i found a photograph all faded and bunched. i had a camo hat, leaning on a red truck on my friend's red truck

[@snicodemus]

Dijon, thank you for your wonderful music! This song brings great peace to my wife and I. Due to the loss of our son Spencer Nicodemus "NICO"! He owned a 1997 f150 red truck. I've restored his truck with "NICO" sticker in the back window. Your song bumps good in his truck. We thank you for your blessed song and gift of music! God bless!

3 years later I’m still finding myself singing my lungs off to this song like it came out yesterday. Can never get sick of this song

[@alexnim4873]

dijon, you're awesome, really. i look forward to much more music from you

[@SHAUNNA111]

I can't think of the last time I felt that a music video matched so perfectly with a song. How I felt listening to just the song is the same way I felt watching this. These moments are captured so beautifully and make me reminisce on happier times. I've liked all of the music videos you've uploaded, but this one is my favorite.

[@chillnation]

love this tune!

[@jerrel.writes]

I lost the man that raised me this month. This song is getting me through his death, and it makes me cherish the childhood he gave me. I’ll miss you forever. Thank you for creating this Dijon.

You like Dijon too?? Hi there 😉

[@ShutterlabCreative]

It's the kind of authenticity that opens ya up to a whole other genre of music.

[@frogman7131]

This song makes me want to quit my job and move in with a bunch of friends and make memories of the greatest times of our lives. But then i remember everyone i would of called my “friends” this time last year no longer talk to me, no happy birthday or nothing from no one this year, made me realise that if i dont text them first they wont text at all. Doing that also made me realise that if my absence dont bother them, neither do my presence. I know no one is gonna read this, but i needed to get it off my chest, i literally speak to noone except from my family and people i work with. I keep telling myself that i left them all for good, to better myself, but deep down, i really miss them, they were a really good bunch of people, who i made some of the best memories of my life with. But thats all they are now, memories.

[@tihi-3546]

[@MrGork60]

Damn man, real as hell

[@JasonKuang]

Even though you don’t release music that often (like where is the damn album already,) every one of your song lives on so timelessly because of how talented and honest you are. Your growth as a writer, singer, and artist has been amazing to watch since the “abhi//dijon ep” days

sonically they are very similar i agree but lyrically they're different, it wouldn't be cohesive imo

[@ryankruszka3158]

Some artists make so emotional and give me a sudden drive work out, or a sudden drive to get better at playing guitar, or put effort into anything like that… but when I hear Dijon I get an overwhelming feeling from how genuinely dope and perfect and just straight out amazing his music and style is.. but i don’t even know what do with myself afterwards I just sit in awe

[@aich9065]

I just did what kian wanna us to do ❤❤❤ BTW it's really goood song ✌

[@EthanAldridge]

You've come a long way bro, and it gives your beautiful music a bigger meaning than so much of what is heard around today. We're always all about what's ahead of us, never spending enough time with what's in front of us so we don't forget the memories way back when. I can't express enough how important your music is today. I hope to see you climb ladders and break records while both exploring new ideas and continuing to spread a hearty message. You're an inspiration. P.S. If you read this, I so think you should write a novel or something similar, I bet you'd be an amazing storyteller off the mic as well!

Here because of Abhi/Dijon

[@audlight2376]

the film adds such beauty to this. the highlights of the stadium lights look that much more magical. This makes me wanna shoot video on film so badly. I love every frame in this video but Dijon sitting on the fence might be my favourite, those frames feel oddly slow but it's perfect. I also love that look he gives right after the dog walks away. Ugh all this love and I haven't said one thing about the song... such a masterpiece of inducing nostalgia. I'm going play/remember this video and song for a long time

I'm gonna look back at this song in 10 years and it'll still feel brand new

[@chadcastilla888]

Dijon, with each track you drop I can hear the production and trust in your sound growing. I literally can not wait for a full album drop. So blessed to have found your music when I did, the way you use the concept of simplicity equaling complexity in your sound is fantastic. I look forward to hearing you live keep it up!

[@wilemchakras538]

The first time I heard this song was sitting at my ex girlfriend’s dining table. She put her Spotify on random via the TV. She was talking to me about something 😂 relevant to lunch and I told her to wait. I was like you got to restart this song right now! What the hell is this called!? Looked at the screen Nico’s Red Truck….that was back 2020. This song has been on repeat ever since. It creates a rather nostalgic mood. I Can’t help but think about her sometimes when I listen to it. Not in an overbearing way more like I appreciate those times but I can never relive them again type way.
