1. David Sundqvist is The Kick and 'Dancer' is his début single. Hwever, David is no wet-behind-the-ears newbie. With a list of previous bands behind him (such as the electro-glam rock Elasmo, Fireline Angels and Kitty & The K) he's not been idle in recent years. Not only studio work has kept him busy; living out of a minibus on a country-wide live circuit he's seen it all from Hultsfred to Arvika, as a guitarist with Kristian Antilla. "The Kick comes from a need to create music entirely by my own hands. From broken beats, distorted synth and epic guitar riffs the sound just grew on its own."

4. The Kick was one of the groups of the prolific Dutch musician and songwriter, Fred van Vught, who was active in groups such as Telephone, Fantasy and Two Of A Kind in the 1970s. With Telephone, Van Vught worked with Boney M. mastermind, Frank Farian. Van Vught re-surfaced in the Dutch charts in 1980 with 'Blinded' b/w 'Like A Puppet', the début single of yet another new project, The Kick.

Get out stop folloing me
Downtown nothings free baby
Your last look is on me
Tonight maybe the last time i see you so forgive me if i stare for hours
Go on it's your time to leave
Get out there's a world to see
Tonight maybe the last time i see you so forive me if i stare for hours
Alright baby if i cannot see you don't harden me don't misuse your power
The Kick's song Last Look is an emotional and poignant track that revolves around the idea of bidding farewell to a lover. The lyrics reflect the finality of a relationship that has reached an inevitable end, as the singer urges their significant other to leave, to get out and stop following them. The opening lines, "Go on it's time to leave, get out stop following me," capture the sense of desperation and urgency the singer feels towards ending the toxic or unsatisfying relationship.
The song continues to describe the emptiness of a downtown area, where nothing is free, suggesting that the cost of their relationship has been too high. The repeated line, "Your last look is on me," adds a sense of finality to the song and represents the closing of a chapter. The singer knows that this could be the last time they see their significant other, and they want to remember every detail of this final interaction; hence they ask for forgiveness if they stare for hours.
The second verse follows in the same vein, with the singer taking the lead to depart, signaling that the relationship is over, and it's time to move on to different experiences in life. However, they acknowledge that there might be another chance encounter that could bring them face to face again, but they want to brace themselves for that eventuality by not getting too attached. The final lines of the song, "Alright baby if I cannot see you, don't harden me, don't misuse your power," can be interpreted as a warning to the significant other, not to come back and taunt or hurt them intentionally.
Overall, the song is an intense play on emotions and the complexities of relationships. It encapsulates the drama, passion, and the finality of personal relationships and portrays the agony of love lost.
