Last Planet Punctuates Soulful Alt-Rock Sound with “Little More Time”

[June 2, 2023 – Oakland, CA] Last Planet drops their fourth 2023 single, “Little More Time,” which drives home their soulful, modern alt-rock vibe and builds on the longings expressed in “Whiskey Breath" and “Seaglass,” both released in 2023. “Little More Time” is about how hard it is to break cycles of destructive behaviors in a relationship. Rai sings vulnerably yet powerfully about the heartache of being left because of not being able to change fast enough. The big guitars express the climatic emotional upheaval before the catchy and relatable chorus brings solace.

After a year in the studio, Last Planet is currently touring northern California, playing well-known venues, county fairs, and beloved dive bars. They look forward to connecting with their fans and making new ones. More information at lastplanetband.com and @lastplanetband.

“Seaglass” Establishes Last Planet's Alt-Rock/Neo-Soul Vibe

[May 5, 2023 – Oakland, CA] Last Planet drops their third 2023 single. Ethereal, ambient “Seaglass” builds on the dark mood of Oakland-based Last Planet's last release, “Whiskey Breath," and establishes their trance-inducing modern alt-rock vibe. “Seaglass” is about longingly clinging to love or an emotional high when you feel it slipping away. The vocal melody flows through the atmospheric soundscape, like ocean waves over seaglass, seducing the listener and conveying the yearning for the fading emotional high to linger. 

After a year in the studio, Last Planet will be hitting northern California stages playing well-known venues, county fairs, and beloved dive bars. They look forward to connecting with their fans and making new ones. More information at lastplanetband.com and @lastplanetband.

"It’s like what Pink Floyd would’ve sounded like if they’d decided to record ‘Great Gig in the Sky’ with Jill Scott instead, and at the turn of the millennium...Last Planet, ‘Seaglass’ will instantly transport you to the stoned, care-free aesthetic of an oceanside outing..."

- Jack Anderson, KUTX, Song of the Day - Link to full article

"Whiskey Breath is everything that a Last Planet song sets out to be...seductive sound and a trancey, melodic groove that’s accentuated by some very soulful electric guitar playing. You throw in some sassy saxophone and lyrics that allude to the mischievous side of the nightlife, and you got one sexy track."

- Aaron Willschick, V13 - Link to full article

"this promising modern rock sextet with R&B influences is pretty cool. They’re doing something new while also doing something familiar. It’s a trick bag many fail at, but not these performers...add them to your list of Bay Area bands you discovered early on."

- John-Paul Shiver, 48hills - Link to full article

“A dark, bluesy undercurrent flows through every song by Last Planet…we can’t praise the production quality enough, as it infuses each track with deep, reverbed aura…All in all, this is a strong band whose mix of elements results in songs that are ripe for film/TV placements, maybe even car commercials.”

- Music Connection - Link to full article

"Whiskey Breath brings a dark modern taste to the music scene....For those that like noir...you may be in for a treat."

Connor Mantle, Origins of CJM - Link to full article

"For me to say this band is going places is almost redundant, because they’re already chugging down the road to success at full speed."

​Dino DiMuro, Pitch Perfect - Link to full article

“I just recently got introduced to this band and they have a lot going for them. The songs are well crafted and feel like they will appeal to a broad audience.”

​Buzzslayers - Link to full article

"Straight Jacket is a great example of how well you can blend genres to your liking and create an explosive outcome. Straight Jacket is one of these songs that make you turn your head, either it is because of the excellently performed guitar solo, the female vocals that surprise you at the second verse, or the awesome vocal line of the chorus is guaranteed you will listen.

- Nicolas Tzivakis, Give It A Spin - Link to full article

“[Jonesing] is a powerful blend of funk, blues rock and modern alternative rock, that builds and caters to the duet back-and-forth feeling between the two vocalists. Play this one loud!"

Ruined Lyrics

Ruined

My pride is buried
Too much to carry
Days flow through me
My ego burned burned down

You ruined me
Came and took everything
Convinced that I was the king
But you buried me low
Left me bare and exposed

I’m still in high water
Clouds getting darker
Burned it all in my fire fire
You took all my air

Couldn’t keep the world
I’m fading
Couldn’t keep the girl
That saved me oh

You ruined me
Came and took everything
Convinced that I was the king
But you buried me low
Left me bare and exposed

Ruined me
Came and took everything
Burnin it down
You took all my crown
You ruined me

Pull the knife from my back
Your kingdom is under attack
Pull the knife from my back
Your kingdom is under attack

Nooo
You ruined me
Came and took everything
Convinced that I was the king
But you buried me low
Left me bare and exposed
Ruined me
Came and took everything
Burnin it down
You took all my crown
You ruined me

Whiskey Breath Lyrics

Whiskey Breath

Circling, falling, and fading
Into your arms
Ah ah, ah ah

Bouncing, and swaying, and hanging
Onto your words
Ooooo ooo ooo ooo oooo

Playing games I don’t want to lose
Step into my groove
Nothing I won’t do

Sunlight it pours through the strands of your hair
Bent lines of your skin let me disappear

I’m loose
Tell me what you wanna do
(Tell me what you wanna, tell me what you wanna)

Oh love got lost in the midst
Face me, replace me
Quivering, numb from your kiss
Chase me, erase me

Screaming, and hoping, and tumbling
Into the sky
ah ah ah

Begging, and dragging, and drifting
Over your words
Ooooo ooo ooo ooo oooo

I’m loose
Tell me what you wanna do
(Tell me what you wanna, tell me what you wanna)

Oh love got lost in the midst
Face me, replace me
Quivering, numb from your kiss
Chase me, erase me

Close my eyes
You’re on your own
Ahh ah ah ah ah ayeee
Goodbye
Leave me alone
Wait
I’m loose
They hate you, they hate you
Loose
Ahh ahhh ahhh
Woah
Ahh uhh uh, they hate you
Close my eyes

I’m loose
Tell me what you wanna do
Goodbye

Oh love got
Lost in the midst
Face me, replace me
Quivering numb from your kiss
Save me, erase me

Straight Jacket

You’re gonna have to tie me up baby in a straight jacket,
Let me shiver on the cold hard floor, break the habit
Cause I gotta have it, gotta have it, I gotta have it yeah

I feel my skin swim every time you move back
Feel the rush of heat give me everything sweet
And I catch the tension through your spine got your body unbound
Handprints on the floor take me to a higher ground

Wrapped tight, tied down
Losin focus, locked into your sound yeah
You keep me buzzin whenever you move your mouth
And I just can’t help but get back down oh yeah

You’re gonna have to tie me up baby in a straight jacket,
Let me shiver on the cold hard floor to break the habit
Cause I gotta have it, gotta have it, I gotta have it yeah

I plan a trip and have my way with you no neighbors around
Slippin till we drippin slippin turn the music up loud
Can’t have no time out, always want to show and tell
Got me tongue tied spread wide trapped under your spell
I focus on the parts of you that I discover myself
Got your head back eyes closed I know you too well
I’m shaking in the shadows with your lips on mine
Soon as I leave I need you back fiending for you all the time
Addicted to your love and you know and all the time

Pace is crazy
And I can’t skip you lately
My world is changing baby oh maybe I know
I gotta control myself, myself

You’re gonna have to tie me up baby in a straight jacket,
Let me shiver on the cold hard floor to break the habit
Cause I gotta have it, gotta have it, I gotta have itt yeah

You’re gonna have to tie me up baby and just bury the hatchet
Cause I gotta have it, gotta grab it
Gotta have it, gotta have it, gotta have it yeah

Jonesing Lyrics

Jonesing

Well I’m jonesing for you, like a cigarette
What can I do, but fixate and obsess
My hands are shaking, my eyes are wide
Well I’m jonesing for you, tonight

Oh babe I’m in the mood
I’ve got my mojo working
But it just don’t, it don’t work on you
Now I’m subdued, but inside I’m burning
And I’m burning all the way through

I broke all my ties, no bridges left to burn
I lost track of the lies, in this web of words
I said can you feel it, I’ve been caught
Seduced by sins and evil thoughts

Heyyyyy ayy ayy ayy

You’re my glass half full, but I’m emptied out
Running through my mind and I’ll say that

A bullet in a bullseye when we’re unbound
She takes me down
And I’ll say that

Oh I’m jonesing for you, like a cigarette
(Like a cigarette)
What can I do (what can I do), but fixate and obsess (Ohhhh myyy)
And my hands are shaking, my eyes are wide
(My eyes are wide)
And I’m jonesing for you (hold on baby I love it), tonight
Oh I’m jonesing for you tonight
(I’m jonesing for you tonight)
Oh I’m jonesing for you
Well I’m jonesing for you
And I’m jonesing for you tonight

Not Enough Lyrics

Not Enough

The water sweeps the leaves
Away from my feet
Have I lost you?
Or have I lost something in me?

I tend to spread my chips around
So I don’t lose them all at once
But the more you choose to play
The more you test your odds

Am I not enough?
For you
I am too much
For me

My life has been composed
Of all these keys I press alone
I don’t know how to feel
Pressing someone else’s notes

Was it just a few words that missed me?
Give me one more chance to breath
I can’t escape, this prison fits me
Locked beneath the sheets

Am I not enough?
For you
I am too much
For me

I say I can find a spark in anyone
But I’m burning low when you’re gone
I can find a spark in anyone
But I’m burning to move on

Oh I can find a spark in anyone
But I’m burning low when you’re gone
I can find a spark in anyone
But I’m burning to move on

Am I not enough?
For you
I am too much
For me
Am I not enough?
For you
I am too much
For me
For you
For me

Stella Lyrics

Stella

You wear your heart on your sleeve
But you roll them up for me
You were the spark of my deceit
You douse me head to toe in gasoline

Was it December?
I remember the bitter brush of winter air
In the space between our cheeks

A glowing ember with too much oxygen to breathe
and ignite the fire that could have been everything we need

Baby will we burn out bright?

I give my best when you’re already gone
I hear the notes, but I can’t sing the song
Lost in your lips your eyes move me along
I just can’t seem to get your melody off of my tongue

I take it for granted
I don’t know where to take it from here
But my heart beat shakes the bed
Waiting for a passing thought of me
To pass through your head
She’s got nowhere to be but
Everywhere she goes
She’s got a tendency to leave

Baby will we burn out bright?

I give my best when you’re already gone
I hear the notes, but I can’t sing the song
Lost in your lips your eyes move me along
I just can’t seem to get your melody off of my tongue

My heartbeat shakes the bed

I give my best when you’re already gone
I hear the notes, but I can’t sing the song
Lost in your lips your eyes move me along
I just can’t seem to get your melody off of my tongue
I don’t know what I said or what I did wrong
But I just can’t seem to write you another love song
The ghost of your fingertips still lives on my arm
I just can’t seem to get your memory off of my tongue

Little More Time Lyrics

Little More Time

I’ve been burnin the midnight out
Tryna find something that ain’t
Here for me no more
Crossed that line and closed that door

I aint tryna go back but
All I had is collapsed on top
Memories carved in the backboard
I’m just tryna get to the bedrock

Just give me
A little more, a little more time
Just give me
A little more, a little more

I’ve been writing love letters that don’t set nothin right
Ooo and burnin all my heartache down to the end of a glass pipe
What can I say
It aint nothin but them limbo blues
And it’s all because of you
I lost what I held on too

I aint tryna go back but
All I had has collapsed on top
Memories carved in the backboard
I’m just tryna get to the bedrock

Just give me
A little more, a little more time
Just give me
A little more, a little more

All I need iss all I need
(Little more a little more)
All I need iss all I need
(Little more a little more)
All I need iss all I need
(Little more a little more)
All I need iss all I need

Ohhhh
I aint tryna go back but
All I had has collapsed on top
Memories carved in the backboard
I’m just tryna get to the bedrock

Just give me
A little more, a little more time
Just give me
A little more, a little more
Just give me
A little more, a little more time
Just give me
A little more, a little more

Just give me
A little more, a little more

Seaglass Lyrics

Seaglass

I don’t want to be with you
Just cause you feel alone
It’s bad news
I know what you’re after so

Trust me
I can take your fear and hide it
Try to feel more
Kiss your dreams and disguise it

Fix all that you’ve done
Or make you forget
Eyes burn to feel sure
And you don’t have to wait for it

Blue fire
Painting an elusive place
Blue flame
Keep your mind away
Blue fire
Painting an elusive place
Blue flame
Keep your mind away

A vague hope
Hiding somewhere all alone
Weak legs
Leap onto another stone

Beneath the whiskey sea
Floating past the clones
And stop short
Of making either of us known

Fix all that you’ve done
Or make you forget
Eyes burn to feel sure
And you don’t have to wait for it

Blue fire
Painting an elusive place
Blue flame
Keep your mind away
Blue fire
Painting an elusive place
Blue flame
Keep your mind away

As my spirit spins
And my muscles turn
No peace in sleep
I’ve got fury for you to keep
Spirit spins
Muscles turn
No peace in dreams
Fury for you to keep

Picture of Us Lyrics

Picture of Us

I’ll glide, once again
Until you need me, oh yeah you need me
It does not make sense
Fall back I’m a one woman everything

Come back with more than you left with
Till he likes it, oh yeah he likes it
I’m overwhelmed with how to tell this
You caught me spacing out again

I go insane by the grace in your lips
God I hate that
And all my days I’m willing to give
If you’ll take that
There’s a picture of us in my head I’ll hold onto it
When you’re leavin
There’s a picture of us in my head I’ll hold onto it
But it’s fading

I’ll try once again
There’s someone sitting on the other side
But I can’t see through the lens
I’m just hoping that we can pretend

So let it all go, and build a new home
Till she likes oh yeah she likes it
It doesn’t make sense, you can’t erase this
I’ll follow you around again

I go insane by the grace in your lips
God I hate that
And all my days I’m willing to give
If you’ll take that
There’s a picture of us in my head
I hold onto it, when you’re leavin
There’s a picture of us in my head
I hold onto it, but it's fading
Fadiiinnggg

I go insane by the grace of her lips
And the way she’s leading with them
God I hate that I wonder who she’s off with
Got a picture of us in my head
I hold onto it

She could’ve stayed
But I lost my grip
Got a picture of us in my head
God I hate this

I go insane by the grace in your lips
(I go insane by the grace of her lips
And the way she’s leading with them)
God I hate that
(I wonder who she’s off with)
And all my days I’m willing to give
(Got a picture of us in my head I’ll hold onto when she’s leaving)

There’s a picture of us in my head
I hold onto it, when you’re leavin
There’s a picture of us in my head
I hold onto it, but it's fading

When she’s leaving oh yeah she’s leaving
Till he likes it, oh yeah he likes it
When she’s leaving please don’t leave me

Buried Alive Lyrics

Buried Alive

What we have here, is a classic case of dopesick denigration
Blaming everybody else except yourself
It’s so clear, the tactics, the pure manipulation
A maven in making your own perfect little hell

Serotonin screams so ordinary
The voices in my head they don’t scare me
And dopamine it seems like you’re imaginary
The voices in my head will be buried alive

It’s obvious, the remedy tastes just like poison
The noise and voices are your own closest enemy
It’s so clear, you’re the victim of your stupid bloody choices
Annoying you to the brink of therapy and destiny

Serotonin screams, ordinary
The voices in my head they don’t scare me
And dopamine it seems like you’re imaginary
The voices in my head will be buried alive

Marching, marching to the beat of the choir
Charging, charging straight into hellfire
Marching, marching to the beat of the choir
Charging, charging straight into hellfire

Serotonin screams bloody mary
The voices in my head they don’t scare me
And dopamine it seems like you’re imaginary
The voices in my head, well they don’t scare me
Serotonin screams so ordinary
The voices in my head they don’t scare me
Dopamine it seems like you’re imaginary
The voices in my head, they’ll be buried alive

Oh baby tell me what’s on your mind
And I feel good
Do you feel good?

Fly-y-y give me more than I sign
I’m searching for your sunless shine
And I feel good
Do you feel good?

I’m stuck on how we speak
But I’m scared that this is something we might need
And I’ll never miss the heat on you babe
On you
On you

I’m bli-i-ind
I don’t mind all you want me for
And I know this revolving door
Of a broken mind we can find
Let me go
Now we’re falling
So let’s skydive

Lo-o-ow
Give me more than you know
I stare at you while you stare at your phone
But I feel good
Do you feel good?

I’m stuck on how we speak
But I’m scared that this is something we might need
And I’ll never miss the heat on you babe
On you
On you

I’m bli-i-ind
I don’t mind all you want me for
And I know this revolving door

Airflow Lyrics

Airflow

Well there’s more than a few things
Phone rings, she flings, her wings
Off and onto the floor
I can’t hear anything anymore

The wind is cold, it’s blowing more
I’m feeling fine or feeling for
Above her tongue is where I fly
She feeds the fear but now she cries

I’m losing airflow, I don’t feel right when I’m alone
I know that I should go, but you’re the only home I know
I’m losing airflow, airflow, airflow
Airflow, airflow, airflow

This hand has held more than your sting
Tone clings, singing to anything
It’s not like me to decide
All the ways we laugh and cry
So shut your mouth and close your eyes
If you live loud enough you’ll never die
If you live loud enough you’ll never die

I’m losing airflow, I don’t feel right when I’m alone
I know that I should go, but you’re the only home I know
I’m losing airflow, airflow, airflow
Airflow, airflow, airflow

I’m callused, I’m bruised
I’m broken, I’m used
I Got malice for you
Baby I’m choking, yeah I'm choking on the fuse

I’m losing airflow, don’t feel right when I’m alone
I know that I should go, but you’re the only home I know
I’m losing airflow, airflow
I'm losing airflow, airflow
(airflow, I don’t feel right when I’m alone
I know that I should go, but you’re the only home I know)
I’m losing airflow, airflow, airflow
Airflow, airflow, airflow
Baby Airflow
