about

from Wonderland Magazine:

Offering us a dreamy upbeat tune is producer and singer JXST J. Following up from his whimsical debut hit “Like U Used 2”, JXST J draws on 90s R&B and lo-fi vibes for an eclectic feel-good tune. Seamlessly blending acoustic and electronic elements, the singer’s enthralling vocals has us breaking the repeat button and caught in a trance of nostalgia and relaxation.

Speaking on the release and the stunning accompanying music video, JXST J says: “’Threw It All Away’ is like a letter that you write to an estranged friend but don’t send. Maybe an old friend or lover has lost their way somehow – they’ve taken a job they don’t like, settled with a partner that doesn’t treat them right, they start shutting off from the world and it’s hard to understand.”

lyrics

Lyrics:

You used to be one
Of the fun ones
Taking time
Enjoying life

But now what's happened?
You got your problems
You stay inside
Watching your every move

Your love don't need to hide
Your love is right on time
Your love it satisfies

I guess you had to throw it all away
To see what it was made of
You threw it all away
To see what it was made of

I like the way you let go
And dance like there's no tomorrow
I haven't seen that much abandon
Since I was a pre-teen

Baby you've got
A way of asking me how I am
That makes me weak in the knees
Baby, baby please how do you
Do these things every fucking day?

It's amazing
Every day
It's amazing
Every day
It's amazing, baby

You used to be one
Of the fun ones

But now what's happened?
You got your problems
You stay inside
Watching your every move

Your love don't need to hide
Your love is right on time
Your love it satisfies

I guess you had to throw it all away
To see what it was made of
You threw it all away
To see what it was made of
