One listen, and this one was another that was both difficult and easy. I felt some conflict about what I was writing, as though I felt on the right track and then felt I wasn’t and had to course correct. It was odd. Regardless, the result works well for the song.
Supercar’s “Last Scene” is from Answer.
I hope you enjoy.

Percussive strikes lead to a pleasant beat and a gentle, floating feel. The bass seems to grab and glide along with the way the sounds drift, and when the vocals come in, they seem to come in and out as much as they seem to continue on. Almost as though bits and pieces coming into view.
The sounds all dip and the vocals remain as gentle as the sounds, and they keep moving with their spaciousness. They carry pleasant and emotive, and they soon return to the verse.
Something a bit more doleful seems to reveal itself. Perhaps an unwillingness to relent and let go. There’s an emotional thrust and the vocals seem a bit more detached, or losing attachment.
The chorus returns with comfort and pleasantries among the sadness, and when it comes to an end the melody changes shape. It seems more overwhelming, and it seems a little happy, though also bitter. Bitter and rough, and hurting, but happy. Happy and joyous.
The main melody returns and continues its floating. It continues its emotional mass floating there, floating along, and the vocals drift along with that mass. They drift along and watch at the same time. There’s something glowing here, too, and it seems almost overwhelming. It’s comforting, but it’s hard. It’s difficult, but there’s that warmth in there, and it fades with everything as the song ends.
