"Last Love Song" is a direct look at what it means to let somebody in, first of all. Openness, uncertainty, and memory lend emotional weight to Finn's new album, "Control." The song doesn't suggest that connection is easy, but rather that it's fraught with risks when being honest and emotionally available to another person.
This openness is what makes the song reflective. Looking back has a bittersweet taste, and memories that once were so sharp begin to blur. "Last Love Song" is in a nice space of holding on and accepting that relationships and moments can change with time. It's a personal view that doesn't sacrifice the larger human experience that underlies it.
The track is also part of the album's self-examination of how people go through the unknowns of life. It sits with love, memories, loss, mixed emotions, and the courage it takes to connect. "Last Love Song" is today's perfect listen for those who have ever looked back on an important relationship and wondered what is left when the memories start to fade, as Finn turns those thoughts into a thoughtful musical statement.
