Isn't it weird that I have never heard this song before and I absolutely love it? The only song of theirs I have ever hears was "Roll to me", which I love! I need to go find some of their old cd's now!
This band is great! I wish I had discovered them soonger than I did!Something about Scottish bands... I also love Travis! The best way to discover Del Amitri is with Hatful of Rain (a best of anthology).
Always loved this song; a sad cautionary tale based on my own self-centered and stupid behavior. My college girlfriend was wonderful magic, really. I cheated because I thought it was cool, and because she trusted me and I could easily get away with it. It has been 37 years since that awful final day, and it will be at least another 37 before I forget the hurt, anguish and tears my betrayal caused her. And yes, she probably was the last to know.
These guys were/are great. They deserved much more recognition in the States than they ever got. For anyone who wants to "discover" them, try the album this came from, "Change Everything". Not a bad song on the whole cd...just a great band.
This song has been going through my head for weeks, so thank you for having this song posted! The title alone seems fitting for so many of Life's little "surprises"...my opinion, anyway.
Is it just me, or does Justin Currie remind you of a cross between Corey Feldman, and Jeff Bridges circa: The Fabulous Baker Boys? Anyways, as for Del Amitri, they were a real cool band, and this tune in particular is excellent. I have always dug the line: "If he's cheated on you/Like I've cheated on you-uh-oh/You were the Last to Know/You were the Last to Know"...its great stuff the way he emphasizes his embarrasment, and sympathy.
I saw Del Amitri live in Seattle in October 1992 at the Showbox. The Gin Blossoms opened for them. The entire show absolutely rocked!! This song brings me back to those days because two weeks later I was divorcing my wife!! I was "the last to know" that she had cheated on me. Good and bad times. Good and bad memories!! Del Amitri was/is amazing. Where did they go???
The name is explained in the Wikipedia article as being meaningless and selected specifically because it is meaningless. They're tired of talking about the name.
