Blue Hour (Nothing Lasts Forever) by FEHM

From forthcoming Album. Due for release in 2019.

The blue hour is the transitional period between day and night, or light and dark if you will. This represents the overall metaphor within the song. The song is about someone being split in half, just like the blue hour, eventually falling deeper into darkness. Nothing lasts forever.

Combining influences such as New Order, Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears & Soft Cell, FEHM are a five-piece band from Leeds who create music that is ‘Startlingly brisk and wholly stark' (Clash).

Part of Leeds’ ever evolving, close knit DIY community their debut EP ‘Circadian Life’ released on Art Is Hard Records in late 2016 & 2 double singles in 2017 & 2018 Human Age/Last Breath & Scarborough Warning/The Sea To Come were described by DIY as ‘Cut through with searing white heat…a fearsome stride forward’.

The band have recorded their debut album in July/August 2018 with Matt Peel at The Nave. This sees the band fully embracing their ever-expanding sound and venturing further into the darker sonic depths that their last releases hinted at. Whilst layers of synths, guitar melodies and driving bass lines wind and fall underneath Paul’s stark and melodic vocals.

LYRICS

'As he walks down the road to nowhere
Where nobody goes, where it splits down the middle
In half he’s torn, in half he was born
Nothing lasts forever

Do you stop and think for a second?

Nothing lasts forever, I never knew you at all
And for good measure, you burnt the sun out after all

As he runs down beyond the cross roads
Where he could not think, where he’s split down the middle
A point of no return, a point he should have learnt
That nothing lasts forever

Do you stop and think for a second?

Nothing lasts forever, I never knew you at all
And for good measure, you burnt the sun out after all

The blue hour awaits and the sky it captivates
He’s half of a human, the runaway

Nothing lasts forever, I never knew you at all
And for good measure, you burnt the sun out after all

Do you stop and think for a second?
For no one, for nothing, “I was wrong”.

Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever'
