The Airplane Boys dropped the track “Tokyo” off their upcoming “Brave New World” mixtape. The duo share their take on Japan’s capital from the language to the various districts. Seemingly out of their elements in the city, they also learn to adapt to the culture where they’ve been submerged. Here’s more about how they came up with the song:
On our recent Asia Tour we we were fortunate to be guided by people of inspiring character who fed us in beautiful temples, drank with us on the streets, and opened us to their culture. We hopped on bullet trains and got off at random stops to explore. Getting lost and venturing off in Japan created this raw piece “TOKYO”

Mourning Hangover by Baiyu
Lyrics to Mourning Hangover by Baiyu
HOOK
Stumbling struggling which way’s down
Had a little too much count me out
I just want to get over
This mourning hangover
How do I get this taste out my mouth
Took a cold shower but that didn’t help
I just want to get over
This mourning hangover
VERSE 1
It’s too early for this shit
I just want to go back to sleep
But the sound of this damn alarm
It’s got me up on my feet
Telling me to wake up wake up oh
So that I can get up get up and
Move on out of here
Oh I got to get up out of here
SUB-CHORUS
Swear it off
No not again
Had enough
Ain’t worth it
Hate this headache
I don’t want to deal
Think I hit a point where
It’s not worth the thrill oh
HOOK
VERSE 2
I know I have to quit for my own sake
Even though old habits are hard to break
But sometimes the hardest things to do
Really truly are what’s best for you
SUB-CHORUS
HOOK
