lyrics

LAST

Oh take me back again, take me back again
Just take me back again to that day, take me back again

I still remember your face that day
I still remember your voice, seemed so strange
But I'm trying to remember the things that you said
Trying to imagine what must have gone through your head

And I can't forget the swollen colour of the bleeding sky
I keep imagining a storm behind your eyes
You took up your tears and waved goodbye
For the last time
Now I take up my tears and wave goodbye
For just one last time

I could have done nothing
For a friend determined to go
I could have done nothing
How come I think I should have known?
I could have done nothing for a friend

I keep remembering all the words you didn't say
I keep imagining all the clues that must have floated away
But I can't remember was it I who turned a blind eye?
Please help me remember on that day was I so very blind?

I can't imagine what I thought when you turned to go
Didn't I know, didn't I know, didn't I know?
I felt December in the air, but August was near
I felt December in the air, but the summer was here

Now I take up my tears and wave goodbye
For just one last time
I take up my tears, I say goodbye
For just one more time - goodbye
I take up my tears, I say goodbye
For one last time

The Second Brightest Star
by Big Big Train

supported by 55 fans who also own “Last”

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper

Grand Tour
by Big Big Train

supported by 54 fans who also own “Last”

What can I say about Big Big Train that I haven’t said before? This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship. Essential. Crinklechips

London Song
by Big Big Train

supported by 52 fans who also own “Last”

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...

Michelle Blades - Visitor
by Michelle Blades

Wrenching indiepop heavy on synths and stormy melodies make for an LP that feels profound in its vision. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 7, 2019

Chugging, organ-laden motorik-psych from Spanish group Melange with lockstep rhythms and kaleidoscopic vocal harmonies. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 13, 2017

Former members of Phenomenal Handclap Band expand on their “everything but the kitchen sink” approach, adding rich vocals and finely-textured arrangements. Bandcamp Album of the Day Sep 30, 2016

Dwellers of the Deep
by Wobbler

supported by 51 fans who also own “Last”

This might be the least folky of the Wobbler releases and I wasn't sure about it at all. After a few listens however I'm loving the inventiveness and the endless melodies, all driven along by Kristian Hultgren's wonderful percussive bass. PartTimeZombie
