1) ASP is a German darkwave band from Frankfurt am Main formed in 1999. The name Asp is taken from the pseudonym of the band leader and is pronounced as one word (like the snake), but written in capital letters. They formed in 1999 by Alexander Frank Spreng and Matthias Ambré (a.k.a. "Matze"), producing their first 3-track demo CD later that year. In 2000, they signed a record deal with Tristol, who released the band's debut album Hast Du mich vermisst? as well as the band's first live performance, at the 'Gothicworld' festival.
Over the next few years, they released two more albums, and along with their debut album, formed the album series Der Schwarze Schmetterling. ASP continued to perform at high-profile festivals due to their growing popularity.
The band suffered some difficulty in 2004 with the bankruptcy of distributor EFA, though their albums were reissued later that year, along with the Interim Works Compendium, a 2CD collection of rarities as well as selected tracks from their three albums to date. Another string of live dates took them through to the release of Aus der Tiefe in May 2005, the fourth part of the Der Schwarze Schmetterling series. The fifth part Requiembryo followed in 2007.
The year 2008 saw the release of three new albums. First, a best of-album Horror Vacui was released in February. This was followed by a tour in Europe. At the end of August the band released Zaubererbruder - Der Krabat-Liederzyklus, an album based on the Sorbian Krabat legend. The live recording Akoasma - Horror Vacui Live became available in December 2008. They have also remixed Emilie Autumn's "Liar", plus provided vocals for the mix. It is known as the "Manic Depressive Mix" and is featured on the Liar/Dead Is The New Alive (Double Feature EP). The band released their first DVD in August 2009, entitled Von Zaubererbrüdern: Live & Unplugged.
In 2011, after almost 11 years of cooperation, the paths of the two founders of the band diverged - songwriter and singer Alexander "Asp" Spreng and producer and guitarist Matthias Ambré. ASP as a band continued with new partners, and the musicians Andreas Gross and Oliver Himmighoffen were retained for live performances. The reasons for separation are given officially as personal and professional differences.
One year later Oliver Himmighoffen also left the band. In his place Stefan Günther, who is a friend of Sören Jordan, joined the band. There are new festival dates in 2022, some in 2021 had to be cancelled due to the Corona epidemic, and they released a new Best Of compilation titled Reflexionen 1 and Reflexionen 2.

3) Asp is a thrash/hardcore/heavy metal band from Austin, Texas. Originating in 1999, Keith Palumbo (who worked at Waterloo Records and is a known drummer) had song titles, but nothing more. He met Chris Cline (an engineer and musician), but Chris moved back to his hometown and the project was put to the side until 2002. After spending some time in the studio working on music, Keith and Chris recruited Craig Moore for vocals who is known for his hardcore/grind/death/chaos metal vocal style. They finally had music to go with Keith's song titles, and their self-titled album was released in 2005 containing some very short songs (re-release on several streaming sites in 2021).

4) Asp, real name Berkay Köse, was born in 1997 in Ankara, Turkey. The artist had been influenced by rap music from an early age. Over time, his interest in songwriting grew and he wrote about street action and social critical themes. Blending the early lyrical spirit of rap music with modern industrial sounds, the artist strives to present songs that contain musically rich elements to the listeners with his recitation style that forms the basis of Anatolian Middle Eastern melodies.

The Last Love-Song
ASP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know there will be no answer as we know that I do
Some mistakes one never wants to learn from and he can′t
Didn't you listen? Didn′t you care? Won't you understand?
I've got a song for the fools
Running, I was running through the rain
Running, always running all in vain
I didn′t fall in love, it was love that fell on me
It just happened, you just happened, hard and suddenly
All that you have done to me, tenderness, lies and pain
Forever buried in my heart, and nothing is in vain
I′ve got a song for the fools
Running, I was running through the rain
Running, always running all in vain
You're the one I see when I close my eyes
My love doesn′t care, for years, for ifs and whys
Never important what you give as it would only change
The way of life I have to live, my song it may sound strange
I've got a song for the fools
Running, I was running through the rain
Running, always running all in vain
Forever
Running, hot blood running from my veins
The song "The Last Love-Song" by ASP is a melancholic representation of a past relationship that has ended. The lyrics are filled with sadness, regret, and anger, as the singer recounts the painful memories of a love that has turned sour. The first four lines of the song express the frustration of being asked if the singer still loves their former partner, as they know the answer will always be yes, despite the pain they have caused. The singer then goes on to reflect on the fact that some mistakes cannot be learned from, leaving them unable to move on from the pain that has been inflicted upon them.
The chorus of the song, "I've got a song for the fools, Running, I was running through the rain, Running, always running all in vain," is a poignant reflection on the futility of trying to escape one's pain. The running is symbolic of the singer's desire to escape their past pain, but they are unable to outrun it, making their efforts in vain. The singer's pain came from falling in love with someone who did not reciprocate their feelings, leaving them hurt and vulnerable. The singer cannot forget the love that they had for their former partner, as their love was genuine and not something that could be turned off or forgotten easily.
Overall, "The Last Love-Song" by ASP is a heart-wrenching portrayal of a love that has ended, leaving the singer haunted by the memories of their past partner. The song is a reminder that even when a love story comes to an end, the experience of love itself can never truly be erased.

jajaja la letra pertenece a la cancion "imbecile athem" o por lo menos gran parte de ella... solo que esta es una version lenta
@Blozi
Muy cierto! Yo prefiero "The last lovesong" porque obviamente te transporta a un ambiente melancólico y es más sencillo identificarse con ella.
Saludos :)
