“The Last Word” by evrshde sets a deep mood reminiscent of a Klaus Doldinger soundtrack (Das Boot in particular) with its rich low end, brooding resolves and richly saturated haze. Its a song that takes its time to deliver its story of a romance that was deep in its connection but also in its dysfunction. The sense of linger affection is palpable in the vocals as well as a spirit of regret over what was and could have been. The lyrics express an awareness of hurt dispensed in a moment of anger and the way people can say things to each other in times like that that later seem unimportant, foolish, stupid and unnecessary. The title is where our narrator seems stuck, haunted by her own words and how they can feel so final even when you don’t want them to be. How do you come back from causing such emotional pain to someone you love? The song with its strength of feeling offers a possibility of making amends even if its dusky atmospheres such hopes don’t seem possible. Fans of Boy Harsher and Bestial Mouths may find some resonance with evrshde’s richly rendered sounds. Listen to “The Last Word” on Spotify and follow evrshde at the links below.
