Fanfarlo - Finish Line




“Finish Line” by Fanfarlo has the potential to be one of those songs that I listen to over and over again. The way it almost dances into your ears with its melodic introduction has serious relistenability. It is sublime. It’s instant emotion whether to evoke something or merely calm you down.

In some ways, it feels so pessimistic. The song talks about waiting for, “the flag to fall” and for what? He ends up walking to the edge of town for a waste of time. Later he wants it to end, and thinks it will but not from experience.

“I’ve read enough to know,
It will end”

But he recognizes that what he read may not be true as he can only guess that there’s a finish line. It sounds like he’s trying to get over a girl.
