Me covering one of my all time favourite songs.The Last Hour, by Elliott Smith is maybe one of his softest, most heart wrenching songs. It reminds me of some sort of sad lullaby. To me, the song embodies the concept of giving up and giving in, and letting the negative things in life win. It touches on some sort of break up, and to me gives me the sense that this breakup is the final straw. The subject has no more strength left in him to fight, and is allowing himself to be overcome by the pain and loneliness. The only redeeming quality being the relief of not having to struggle anymore.

The vocal range of this song is really wide. Some may notice I drop/raise octaves at certain points differently than the recording. I took a lot of liberties with the chords too hah.

Here's the army that you mowed to the ground
And the bodies you left lying around
Talking it out, the last hour
I'm through trying now, it's a big relief
I'll be staying down
Where no one else gonna give me grief
Mess me around, Just make it over
Your opinion was the law of the land
A single thing that I could always understand
I lived it out from hour to hour
The only thing that never really changed
You ran me all around, and dragged me down
The end of the day
Don't keep me around, just make it over
I've been thinking of the things that I missed
Situations that I passed up for this
One-way love I took for ours
I'm through trying now, it's a big relief
I'll be staying down, I wasn't good at being a thief
More like a clown
Just make it over
