Final Finale – February 25, 2022
It is not so much a goodbye
More of a commencement of change
Just as much as I try...
And I've tried and I've tried and I've tried
But here we are
At the same point again.
Don't let it be
Don't let it be, don't let it be the end
Oh my dear friend
Oh my dear, oh my dear
How I fear
We're living out the last scene again
Hello Finality
Final finale for me
I wave and I wave, try to smile with grace
The place where we part
Always be
A place for you in my heart
It is not so much a goodbye
More of a commencement of change
Hello Finality
Final finale for me

Nice one to end on. The place where we part. Always be. That is the album title!!
Thanks for another year of beautiful music.

I like these lines: It is not so much a goodbye / More of a commencement of change.
I really like it that I now have something to look forward to so much in February, and that I have songs to work on in March. It's a much better way to spend winter months than anything I had before.
How is your MALM going?

Very emotional and honest delivery and really nicely done on these lyrics! Wonderful use of reverb and really nice all around. Enjoyed this ending to your wonderful FAWM. Congrats!

I like how haunted you sound on this one and the feeling of inevitability that your vocal has, like you're resigning yourself to the fact that everything must come to an end.
@bethdesombre Mar 2022
Love the phrase "final finale" (especially after "hello finality") and the "commencement of change" vs. goodbye framing. Perfect for FAWM, but more usefully broad. The repetition of "don't let it be" and "oh my dear" are effectively pleading. Nice job!

I like the idea of a commencement of change., great words. Lovely slightly melancholy delivery. Very enjoyable end to a series of fine songs #tit4tat no5

15…!? Notional tip of the hat, Dan. What a lovely final finale (one of the many things you do so brilliantly is play with language). There is a punchy amount of reverb on this track, which I think I’m just about on board with. It works particularly well right at the end with those closing words. Great job!
@williamjames Mar 2022
Nicely written about the inevitable end. Can be applied to a lot of things. Your singing is great and the one take really works, as there is a lot more feeling in your vocals this way. A very somber song and a relaxing listen.

15 years you're doing this? Wowzers! Now I understand the quality of your songwriting. You carry so much melancholy in your performance your voice is nearly breaking in a positive sense. This sounds like farewell. I hope you come next FAWM xD

Year 15. That’s awesome. I like the repeating words. The reverb is nice. I guess I’m at year 13 so not far behind. Always sad to see the magic that FAWM brings to February end. Grateful for the experience.
