nelward - why would I?

[@goonsdirge3464]

ancient folklore states that if you say "nelward" three times in the mirror, he'll appear and gift unto you a single plastic dinosaur

[@why3994]

[@Xipheria]

i was a little bit taller

[@Deddshot]

I Wish I was a baller

[@st555ne]

[@theamazinghammer]

We are all blessed that nelward lives in the same timeline as us

[@necronomics1804]

ok shulckle

[@kylenumb481]

I live in the 1800’s so I’m kind of upset about that

[@breadbouquet]

A Xenoblade and a Nelward fan? next You'll tell me you like Jet Set Radio

[@crusher9z9]

​@breadbouquet you need to know what no straight roads is.

[@PinkieOats]

Time slows so much when I listen to a new nelward song for the first time, I guess the laws of the universe just want that moment to last forever

[@dogonit1936]

me too

[@noti7510]

quite the contrary! methinks i have been here but three minute-span, but it has been more likely double!

Funny guitar Johnny plays guitar and sings for your amusement Jokes aside, beautiful lyrics as usual, this man sounds happy as he’s ever been.

[@mr.personalspace7831]

Side note: check out Knuckle Sandwich when that comes out, part of the soundtrack is written by you know who. Plus, that’ll PROBABLY come out before Mother 4, but it’s not called Mother 4 anymore, so there’s that.

[@BigMates13]

it's really cool hearing you branch out into new styles this is a really interesting song

[@fartface8918]

Yeah

[@swafty5813]

I didn’t dislike it but I know it sounds a little TO much like Tame Impala for my liking

[@farter_snail]

jacobpsi I really like your pfp

[@romulusnr]

this musical style actually suits your voice and visual style wayy better, like in a mainstream way this is like, the *other* 90s... the shoegazer college rock pop stuff. the outfit even has a vanilla trainwreck vibe

[@sparce206]

I haven't been able to enjoy any music that wasn't nelwards for at least the past 3 months, I think he's got me hypnotized. I wouldn't have it any other way, though. Another incredible one, as always! Thank you so much!!

[@CatLivesNite]

Hearing this makes me remember all kinds of memories, these tunes are so familiar yet i've never heard them before.

[@cafmittens]

[@arcdoes640]

Im pretty sure the tune if the song hook is actually referencing sonic green hill zone! Why would I even sleep at all? DedeDeedee

[@thevrex9237]

immense and powerful early 2000's vibes with this one, i am enthralled

[@rodolfobeguiristain]

your songs all have a distinct style but they sound so different. its weird, i cant tell its nelward in half a second but they sound so different

[@longcrafttt]

totally underrated

[@cafmittens]

nelward is just magical to the ears

[@melon2565]

This is one of those rare occasions where a music video actually makes me happy

[@AnimaidanFrames]

I love the vibes of this!!! Feels so different from most your other stuff

[@How2lulululu]

This song didn't convince me at the beginning, but the further you get, the more you start loving it. It's absolutely amazing. Good job nel

[@lily2867]

digging these 80s vibes! it's really fresh compared to your recent releases and yet it's still distinctively nelward

[@techno--]

You could say that second sentence about any of his songs

[@nate5862]

[@monowavy]

this song is such a SONG ughhh

[@AmRosary05]

One of the only songs by Nelward where I can’t tell it’s Nelward (were it not for that silky smooth voice). Imo it makes sense that this was written a while ago, and it’s really grown on me.

[@ChazzzyF]

This honestly might be my new favorite Nelward song, it's really good

[@TopOfAllWorlds]

Good song
