Finally! This took a while with lot of work. I feel very naked to sing this. Usually I dub myself in several layers, but I try not to, this time. @arthusrossi lyrics are the best! Beyond no doubt. And they deserve so much. For me I try something completely different this year, and it is a little scary actually. But I am proud of this one. I got the arrangement well, I think. @engebretsen

The last bullet for the end
Lyrics @arthurrossi
You just stand in front of me,
and you talk and yet I see
you just try to hide the truth…
Now his scent is on your face,
and all words are out of place,
there is nothing words could do…
(Chorus)
I know you, my dear,
you´ve always kept your tears
as the last bullet for the end…
and I know I’ll die,
the devil always finds you more easily than I…
I know you, my dear,
you´ve always kept your tears
as the last bullet for the end…
and I know I’ll die,
the devil always finds you more easily than I…
Shall I shout or just ignore,
I´m not surprised any more
about any of your sins
To fall silent, start a fight?
asking where you spent the night?
would that change a single thing…?
You just stand in front of me,
and you talk and yet I see
you just try to hide the truth…
Now his scent is on your face,
and all words are out of place,
there is nothing words could do…
(Chorus)
I know you, my dear,
you´ve always kept your tears
as the last bullet for the end…
and I know I’ll die,
the devil always finds you more easily than I…
Yeah… I know you, my dear,
you´ve always kept your tears
as the last bullet for the end…
and I know I’ll die,
the devil always finds you more easily than I…

Great dramatic and emotional lyrics from Arthur. The last line of the chorus ( devil finding you etc ) is especially nice.
The music and production complement the lyrics really well and are spot on with a slightly 80s progressive rock vibe. Vocals are good too.

Wow, awesome collab! It's like a cautionary tale set to haunting music and a slightly Morrison-esque meets Talking Heads vocal vibe, with the resulting combo being unique and set apart. :-)

You are right, the arrangement is great. I like the mesmerizing drums and the preaching vocals of the dystopic words. Well done! This is why I love FAWM.
Peace

Nice collab. Sounds haunting and groovy. I like the synth wind instrument. Lyrically, that chorus paints a great picture of betrayal. Like, the cheating was bad enough and now you're the victim?
@nicetrip Feb 2022
Nice collaboration! Liked the groove and overall feeling. There is something in lyrics and performance that remembered me Nick Cave.
@beat Feb 2022
,
FAWM wouldn‘t be in February without a collaboration of the two of you… and what a brilliant show this is this year! Really, really love this one. Thank you two for the Musik and the words… Replay
@heliosonorous Feb 2022

@engebretsen Feb 2022
