Joji – Past Won’t Leave My Bed (Review)

Joji’s new single “Past Won’t Leave My Bed,” released on November 7 as the third preview from his upcoming album Piss In The Wind (set for release on February 6, 2026), captures the quiet exhaustion of emotional inertia. It’s not trying to be clever or abstract—just raw and honest.

“I try to move on, but the past won’t leave my bed.”

This line forms the emotional centerpiece of the track, returning like a persistent memory. The song recalls the same vulnerable side of Joji that made “Glimpse of Us” and “Die For You” stand out. Dan Farber’s stripped-down production leaves room for Joji’s restrained delivery to breathe, layered over warped guitars and minimal percussion.

His voice hovers somewhere between dream and wakefulness, capturing that restless moment when old feelings refuse to fade. The lyrics paint a picture of being emotionally stuck—not broken, not healing, but simply lingering. Haunted rooms and merging shadows blur reality and memory, reflecting a fatigue that feels lived-in rather than performed.

The accompanying music video, released simultaneously on YouTube, extends the same intimacy found in Joji’s earlier visuals. However, this time the tone feels less like an open wound and more like a scar that aches occasionally, subtle but still deeply human.

As track eleven on the 21-song Piss In The Wind, “Past Won’t Leave My Bed” sits near the album’s reflective end, where the emotional weight of the record gently settles into quiet acceptance.

Author’s Summary

Joji distills quiet pain into clarity, creating a haunting, minimalist reflection on emotional stasis and memory that lingers long after the song ends.
