Guitarist Rick Joyce, vocalist Jeff Diehm, and bassist Peter J. Gorritz rely on many years of working together in the stage and studio combined with a wealth of varied musical styles and influences between them to forge a sound that is solid and consistent yet flexible enough to constantly evolve.
Years of friendship and shared triumphs and tragedies have also helped the 3 principle members keep the band going strong in situations where many would have given up. The rigors and hazards of life on the road, the constant challenge of being an independent rock band in a world of Major Label competition, Pop Divas and American Idol; even the tragic death of longtime drummer Ivan Dominguez have not been able to slow the bands momentum and desire to succeed.
The Last Dance have released 6 full length albums, along with several E.P.s and Limited Edition releases. They have also been featured performers on innumerable compilations released worldwide, including international magazines and Hot Topic exclusives. They have performed exhilarating live shows on stages of all sizes in clubs, halls, and indoor and outdoor festivals throughout North and Latin America and Europe and are expected to be hitting Asia and Australia in the near future.
The Last Dance are also no strangers to the world of visual entertainment. They have had their music featured on MTV's "Made", on ABC news, and they have appeared and performed on the Fox Reality show "The Search For The Next Elvira". They have a video for their single "Once Beautiful", courtesy of acclaimed director Sandy Collora, and are the subject of director Rocky Costanzo's recent DVD documentary "Almost Beautiful", filmed during the recording and subsequent U.S. tour for the "Once Beautiful" album.
With a history like this and no signs of slowing down, it's no wonder that The Last Dance have a loyal and devoted following worldwide and are picking up new fans every day. But the best way to get to know The Last Dance is not by reading a bio. Listen to the music. Watch the video. See a show.
Experience The Last Dance!
Somewhere More
The Last Dance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pieces at the best
Once you have run far and fast as you can..
Does it make you feel better
Or are you alone still without me
The love that finds you keeps you alive
And certain exciting new wanting love
You leave for the same, somewhere else
(Chorus)
Somewhere else, she wants without you
Somewhere more, she wants without you
You said you want, but I saw you...
Drifting apart to another place
To another one
(Chorus)
Somewhere else, she wants without you
Somewhere more, she wants without you
This like a shadow will haunt you
Like a storm without end
With tears and alone
There will be love again, somewhere else
(Chorus)
Somewhere else, she wants without you
Somewhere more, she wants without you
The lyrics of The Last Dance's song Somewhere More speak of a couple who have separated and moved on with their lives, but the singer of the song questions whether their ex-partner is truly happy in their new life, without them. The first verse talks about how leaving something behind may not always be the best decision, as you may end up only having small pieces of what you had before. The second verse talks about the excitement of a new love, but questions whether it's worth it if you're still left without the person you truly want. The chorus repeats the phrase "somewhere else, she wants without you" which emphasizes the idea of moving on and wanting more. The final verse talks about the lingering pain of separation and the hope for love in the future.
The song's lyrics presents a universal theme of lost love and regret, which many people can relate to. The song is written in a melancholic tone with the repetition of the chorus emphasizing the feeling of loneliness and longing. The questioning nature of the lyrics is also powerful as it reveals the singer’s genuine concern and care for his ex-partner’s happiness. This creates a sense of relatability and empathy that many can feel towards the song.
Interestingly, the song has a bit of a history behind it. It was originally released in 1994 on the album Whispers in Rage, but was re-recorded for their 2003 album, Reflections of Rage. It has been covered by various artists over the years, including a goth metal cover by H.I.M. In addition, the band has a strong following in the gothic and darkwave genres, where their music is celebrated for its haunting melodies and poetic lyrics.

After watching this, it is clear to me that he wasn't meant to be a part of the last dance, his is a story that needed to be told on its own. Well done.
