Spencer Raymond - The Last Time

from Failure [2HAC Volume 22] by Various Artists

about

Song written by Spencer Raymond

Theme Interpretation: I wanted to do the opposite of what I feel is expected from a theme called 'failure'. I wanted to make something which talks about AFTER a failure, in this case specifically after a failed relationship - what it can mean, how it can feel, and the path to overcoming this failure.

Software used: Ableton Live

lyrics

Sometimes detours can have happy consequences
No trains for an hour can turn to fun
Little memories and moments close enough to heaven
They give you all you need, and then they’re done

I know things don’t last forever but I want em to
I know nothing’s worth losing track of life
But I joke and say I cost you a little over a dollar
But we both know I was sold far before that

You showed me so many different colours
You showed me so many different smells
And honest, even now, I can tell you
Katrina and the waves have nothing on how I felt

Sometimes things just don’t work out the way you want em to
Nobody knows the answer every time
Just man up, grow up, own up to it
And if it’s not your fault it’ll all work out with time

Maybe months along the line you’ll find a letter
He’ll tell you how he’s found himself after all this time
He’ll apologise and say you don’t deserve it
And you can let it go and forgive him with a smile

Someday you’ll find yourself just sitting quiet
Your mind will take you back, go far and wide
You’ll think about what you did that summer
And realise you already missed him for the last time
