The Damnwells are the subject of a documentary feature film called 'Golden Days,' which is also the name of a track on their 2006 record 'Air Stereo.' Taking a hiatus after touring and being dropped from their label, front man Alex Dezen completed and released an album in April 2009, 'One Last Century.'
This album included Damnwells tunes exclusive to unreleased demos such as "Soundtrack" and "Bastard of Midnight." and many new songs Most importantly about that the album was that it is a free online download. The explanation given to fans and listeners:
"I have never worked so hard or put so much of myself into a collection of recorded songs. It is for just this reason that I want to give it away. To me it makes perfect sense. I just want people to hear this music, and I don’t want them to have to enter into some kind of contractual agreement with a third party to do so." - Alex Dezen, Damnwells

You crawl to me and I crawl to you
And in the middle we meet
You drink from me and I swallow you 'cause in my heart the rent is cheap
I've been staying up way too late
You wanna love me girl
Don't hesitate
I've been staying up and I've been waking up
Pray this world will see me now as you do
I've never looked so good
I crawl through this city and I'm looking for you
I chase the darkened streets
I call your name darling 'cause it's all I can do
I sing to you my sweet
I've been staying up way too late
You wanna love me girl
Don't hesitate
I've been staying up and I've been waking up
Pray this world will see me now as you do
I've never looked so good
And if there's a reason to run will you run right back to me
And if there's nowhere to go will you come
Come to me
Come to me
I've been staying up way too late
You wanna love me girl
Don't hesitate
I've been staying up and I've been waking up
Mmm
I pray this world will see me now as you do
And if it was mine I'd give it all to you
I pray this world will see me now as you do
I've never looked so good
