Emerging artist Mourning Coffee invites listeners into an introspective space with his new song “One Last Time,” a reflection on love, loss, and identity once the things that define us begin to disappear. Written in Warwick, New York, in the quiet stillness of a cemetery, the setting shaped both the mood of the song and its accompanying visual world. “Cemeteries have an eerie sense of yearning to them,” he shares. “I tend to wonder where the hopes and dreams of all those people went. What if a ghost is nothing but that burning desire refusing to let go? Something deep stirs within me when I think about that.”
Musically, “One Last Time” balances motion and melancholy, pairing an upbeat pulse with a haunting piano line that gives the track a cinematic weight. Dynamic percussion sits beside mournful instrumentation, mirroring the song’s core tension between sorrow and light. Lyrically, it explores the fleeting nature of love and life, underscored by the repeated line “Because we do not know when we will die,” urging listeners to hold tight to every moment. Recorded in Mourning Coffee’s home studio with friend and producer Sam Stauff, the track captures an intimate and fully realized vision, inviting reflection on who we are when everything familiar is stripped away.
