This is the official video for the title track of The Unthanks album 'Last'.

On and on and on we go

But back and back and back we go

The wisdom thrown out long ago

The great unlearning has begun

And we are lost

Time will pass and soon we'll know

What sons and daughters have to show

For all our speed and all our waste

Do you have a nasty taste

The frightened people still believe

In gods and heroes and pure blood

The blood still flows and mums still loose

Their sons and daughters in the field

The fields will soon be under seas

Continue doing as you please

But we won't last

We won't last

We won't last

The past is gone we don't deny

Cold and cruel without a lie

But failure is a victory

If from it we all get to see

That we are lost, we won't last

Remember the past and we might last

Remember the past and we might last

Man should be the sum of his story

Also, all those supporting war. Let's remember that humanity is the same all across the world... brown, black, white or yellow... we all love our families, wives, children and friends... don't let them view each other as anything less than human...

I saw these wonderful ladies and their band live last week. They are wonderful and their performance was flawless. I'd watched this video beforehand and will never be able to listen to this song again without crying. Very special ladies

The combination of this song and the images I find quite heartbreaking. At this point we should all remember that we are indeed are all in this together - except those that need to tell us that "we are all in this together". Members of my family died in, or as a result of, two world wars. This song is a reprimand to any or every government that would send its children to war without proper thought or reason.

Brilliant production. Very compelling. WWII-era home pregnancy test ! The Unthanks are superb and their songs definitely conjure up visuals. I think "Flowers of the Town" is ripe for a mashup. Keep up the great work.

Nice cartoon, but I didn't think it would work out too well with this amazing song. Wrong. Wife in tears. Thank you Unthanks, again wonderful.
