about

'The Last Remaining Song' is the next single from Uncle Tan's upcoming album 'Honest and Real' which is to be released in late 2015. This mystical and catchy electropop-song is inspired by sci-fi and future dystopia. Release date: 15.6.2015. Available in all major digital download and streaming stores (iTunes, Spotify, Deezer, Amazon etc.)

Concept, lyrics, vocals, all instruments, arrangement, recordings, mastered, mixed, graphics by Uncle Tan T'n'T Studios 2015.

"I had this vision about people in the future who find the last remaining musical piece. All the other songs are destroyed by robots who now rule the world. These people try to remember this piece of music so that they wouldn't forget their roots and their humanity. They gather together and hum the song all through the night in order to always remember that they are humans, with real feelings and with the ability to feel powerful emotions music can bring. In a nutshell it's a kind of a tribute to music."

lyrics

(CHORUS)
This is the last remaining song
we know it won't, won't take long
before the melodies are gone
so we hum this all,
all night long

they try to erase our memory
they try to drive us into misery
they try to wipe the identity
they try to cease the humanity

(VERSE)
The music's dying we've almost
lost our soul
computers try to wreck us
it's their goal
but we refuse to accept
what's been told
we want the music,
we want back our soul

we found this last,
last piece of melody
it's the only cure
the only remedy
but we have to fight
to keep it alive
we have to be proud
and hum it loud
