Last Melody

The story behind Last Melody

I came up with this melody and chords when I was a teenager, but never actually found the right words. Then, some years ago, one evening I found the key. Maybe it was the memory of a lost love, or perhaps the realisation that perhaps some people never stop loving the person they loved so much in the past. In any case, I thought, these lyrics actually fit.

Why Last Melody?

Music has become more and more rhythmical and melodious romantic tunes have perhaps taken a negative connotation in our mainstream society. So maybe this is the last. The last melody, the last love, the last emotion. Or maybe not, it is only one of the many feelings still to come. You might perceive it as melodramatically exaggerated, but that’s how sometimes things go. I tried to put myself into everybody’s shoes and express with my words what someone can feel at the end of a long love story.

Lyric Video

The YouTube thumbnail automatically picked the phrase ‘you love me’. I never chose to change it, and probably never will. Below the video you’ll find the transcript of the lyrics.

You can also activate the YouTube captions to have the lyrics translated into Spanish or Italian.

Last Melody Lyrics

A different place
A different fate
I got used to it
Never freer than today

With other eyes
A whole new sight
With you out of my mind
It’s good fun every night

I’m going out, I stand alone
I’ve built a house, it’s my new home
And your memories are all long gone
My new life has just begun

Look at me, what I sing
Is just a desperate melody
Saying I’m over, over, over it
Is just a lie, is a just a lid

It’s not true
I am still in love with you
Who can help me?
Just please tell me who
’cause there’s nothing I can do

That’s true
I am still in love with you
Who can help me?
Just please tell me who
’cause there’s nothing I can…

You love me
You love me inside
You love me

You love me
You love me inside
You love me

I’ll take a break
For goodness sake
I promise I won’t make
The same old mistake

Here we go, this is it
It will be my last melody
I’ll sing it over, over, over ’till
You come back to rescue me

’cause that’s true
I am still in love with you
Who can help me?
Just please tell me who
’cause there’s nothing I can do

That’s true
I am still in love with you
Who can help me?
Just please tell me who
’cause there’s nothing I can…

You love me
You love me inside
You love me

You love me
You love me inside
You love me

If you have Spotify installed, I recommend listening on the app, because the steaming quality there is pretty good. However, the preview on my website has a massive quality loss due to the file compression Spotify uses for the embedded players. If you don’t have Spotify installed, I recommend listening to the YouTube embedded video above, which will give you a better listening experience.
