The Last Stand

Liner Notes
@mdavisto says: I never really know what I'm making until suddenly it's too late to stop. Accordingly, this came out a lot harder than intended, but, also, so, you see, and, therefore, and it's not like that's a bad thing anyway, shut up.
Anyway this is a case of, it took far too long and I should have been doing other things but I'm STOPPING NOW and I'm uploading it; done!
ONWARDS!
I'm lazy and will let @mitchmash paste the lyrics in.
I guess this is #fawmtronica #noai #fatbottom
@mitchmash says: @mdavisto is so darn talented! I sent a very rough idea to him and he created this! I can't stop smiling! He's brilliant!
Lyrics
when your eyes locked on mine I really should have realized that its a glaring warning sign when all the air leaves the room
I just cant escape the truth I'm captivated by your smile I'm dynamite and you’re the fuse I've got a snowballs chance in hell
you came, you saw and you conquered and I can't hold out much longer
its killing me to fact the truth you counter all of my best moves it's my last stand - my hearts last stand here tonight
the enemy is at the gate I've barred the door, beat a retreat cause I can't make the same mistake of fraternizing with the enemy
you're like a velvet hand grenade the whisper of silken sheets you quickly suck my breath away destroy me slowly piece by piece
you came, you saw and you conquered and I can't hold out much longer
its killing me to fact the truth you counter all of my best moves it's my last stand - my hearts last stand I realize I've lost the game my heart is going down in flames it's my last stand - my hearts last stand here tonight

I don't have anything to add to what @cowboydick said.
Oh, wait, I do. I love the shift in textures, the drop (that's a drop, right?) between the first and 2nd verses. That's inspired. And I like the lyric take, the heart's last stand. And then, the two of you just work it on out. Great....
....and @mdavisto, thanks for collaborating with @mitchmash , or I never would have found her.

I like everything about this ... the filtered, eerie vocals, the percussion, the whole vibe. "You counter all my best moves" is a great line.

Love it. Massive Attack vibes. As usual, it sounds like a finished track that I'd hear out somewhere. Well done both!

Trippy vocal! Your voice reverberates through the entire ear. Really cool soundscape too. Absolute banger of a song.

I'm with you with that first sentence in your liner notes too! 😆 Isn't that just the FAWM way?! The vocal melody is really nice here and all the pumping synth work is well executed as ever. Nice!

I'm with you your first sentence on your liner note sometimes, but that's part of the fun right? This does indeed have a #fatbottom doesn't it! @mitchmash's vocal is perfectly placed, just a really nice strong melody

Ah, this has such a wickedly deep pulse! What a space you've created, the distant ethereal keys feel like they're sitting in another dimension just out of reach, but the whole thing is present and glorious in the mix. Beautiful vocals and what a gripping melody! Epic collab
