Last Thing On My Mind

Description

Last Thing On My Mind – an epic ballad by Roman Riva and Opium Tales

With visions of the Hell on Earth known as World War I, the death of Romanticism in Europe. The most pointless slaughter there ever was.

This song is kinda the sequel to One More Serenade. Sung by a woman because she’s reading the last letter he wrote before dying in the trenches.

I keep coming back to this same theme.

Randy told me that this may be my Purple Rain. However, I firmly believe new music is dead. I just keep producing these songs because I don’t have a choice.

I rarely sleep. Tossing and turning, I get up and either paint something or compose. And this is what comes out of my perpetual insomnia.
