'If this is the last dance/if this is the last dance/Then save it for me baby'

The Raveonettes releases their latest record "In & Out of Control" on October 6th 2009. First single becomes "Last Dance", like every The Raveonettes song which doesnt know how to feel, happy, sad, ironic, teasing... you decide how does it feel. Melody exploding like sun, however lyrics seem a little sad.

This music reminds me a lot noise pop bands such as: My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Sonic Youth, Jesus and Mary Chain, and maybe Galaxie 500. Sharin Foo's hairstyle is very similar to Velvet Underground's icon member Nico in press photos.

They'd asked to the audience to title the upcoming album. I don't like when artist asks for making a video or album-title. Because it sounds like they are not serious about the album. They better not to ask audience how to do things. As guitarist, singer and instrumentalist Sune Rose Wagner reported us 'We never asked our audience for anything, that's a wrong statement! We know what we want and don't need any help' I have to say sorry for the mess, before i get a bashing from Sune. So this is the last dance! 6/10

The Raveonettes - Last Dance lyrics


Your lipstick smeared sad, I adore you
I always have
And every time you overdose
I rush to intensive care
Another sad eye stare before you disappear

If this is the last dance, if this is the last dance
Then save it for me baby
If this is the last dance, if this is the last dance
Then save it for me baby
Ooooh ooooh
Then save it for me baby
Oohhhh oooooh
Then save it for me baby

Your addiction and you are in love.
Night star crossed, I wait my turn
And every time you overdose I rush to intensive care
Another sad eye stare before you disappear.

If this is the last dance, if this is the last dance
Then save it for me baby
If this is the last dance, if this is the last dance
Then save it for me baby
Then save it for me baby

I want to know, I want to know
If it's the last, if it's the last dance
I wanna know, I wanna know
Baby baby please.

If this is the last dance, if this is the last dance
Then save it for me baby
If this is the last dance, if this is the last dance
Then save it for me baby
If this is the last dance, if this is the last dance
Then save it for me baby
