Moderat - Last Time

Moderat's music video for "Last Time" offers a view into the sense community shared by a group of young people in the countryside, while another man leaves to go to the big city.

In the video you'll join gang of adolescents that hang aroung at the local gas station of their village and while being harsh on each other, they find a sense of camaraderie and belonging within their community. On the other side, there is a guy who escapes this exact way of life - Only to find himself being lonely in a big city.

I lost a friend last year. This was our favourite song to listen to together. emotions are strong with this one.

I think the guy on the motorbike flees from the province. The video also stylizes the monotone life of the youth of the province and makes it somewhat beautiful in its sadness. Very poetic imagery.

I keep saying this is the last time, but then I hit replay.

[kristinalovska]

This masterpiece involves into some kind of sweet melancholy

[TRuss]

There’s a certain feeling I get when I listen to this song, I don’t know what it is it’s just feels insane. Thank you Moderat for this Masterpiece

[SpaceGuruu]

[xhetisisabelle]

The beat in this song is just perfection. Been listening to this song for weeks now, and it never gets boring. Moderat, thank you for this!

[HungryTacoBoy]

This song has dug itself into my very being within the 24 hours I've listening to it. What a great track!

*Lyrics:*

When I was dead asleep
Behind
Towering walls

They built a world outside
And I
Missed the wake-up call

My stony breath crawled
To glory heavens be
There was a sea of sound
But it was silence
That stole my sleep

When I was dead asleep
Behind
Towering walls

They built a world outside
And I
Missed the wake-up call

When I break cripple legs
Through long winding streets
Fill me with suffering
And the people
Would see right through me

[jonfacchi]

the video clip means he (Sascha) lost time while was recovering from acident of motorcycle, It's happened after second album, and he wrote a lot of songs to this new álbum in these times...
'''When I was dead asleep
Behind
Towering walls

They built a world outside
And I
Missed the wake-up call''

[grzegorzdajnowicz]

That's the most beautiful track Moderat has ever produced. Love it...

[GebruennenTube]

Ja, ich höre diesen Track immer noch...

Und ich wünschte so sehr, dass du Sascha, mein Tankwart in solch langen, trostlosen Nächten wärst.

Danke an euch drei für dieses Meisterwerk der Melancholie!

[ckroomstudio]

This called: perfection... the music and the film just awesome at all, thank you!!!

[TheNoTrump]

When I was dead asleep
behind
Towering walls

They built a world outside
and I
missed the wake-up call

My stony breath crawled
to glory heavens be
there was a sea of sound

When I was dead asleep
behind 
Towering walls

They built a world outside
and I
missed the wake-up call

When I break     legs
Through long winding streets
Fill me with suffering
And the people
Would see right through me

For me, this masterpiece represents someone who grew up in a small town, with a close group of friend, and probably never really left this town, and finally, he decides to leave, to go to a bigger city, to pursue his life, to have a new start. And he leaves behind his past, this little town, where his friends will probably stay, and grow old there.

[fritzi]

My mind always drifts away, when I hear that song. It gets me into a very melancholic mood. Such a masterpiece like all of their songs. I went to a Moderat concert back in September in Berlin. It was a great experience for me and I wont forget this one :)

[SoniaGiorgini]

One of the best live act.Really loving them
