“One Last Dance” from Jon Chesbro , is a melodic masterpiece that signals the arrival of Jon Chesbro, as a singer-songwriter who needs to be heard .
The follow-up to May’s star-gazing and celestial “Choices,” the latest from Jon Chesbro, is a psych-pop headtrip that not only anticipates society’s sudden end, but tries to position us to where we actually embrace the catastrophic event through a contemplative sense of calm.
Where “Choices” lyrically explored the decisions we’ve made in our lives that helped shape who we are, for better or worse, “One Last Dance” fast-forwards to the end. And like any quest for salvation, be it sonic or spiritual or otherwise, Chesbro, the Phoenix Remix’s Artist of the Month for May, is reflecting on the past in order to embrace the present.
“This song is about the final moment you have before the world ends,” he says, fairly matter-of-factly. “You find yourself working for a job you hate, paying taxes for stuff you don’t want, and you really don’t ever enjoy yourself or your relationships. You’re too busy trying to be something you’re not. Right when you see the final nuclear blast you realize you have ‘One Last Dance’ with the one you love. You take in that moment and savor it – and that’s the last thing you feel before being erased from the Earth.”
The music and lyrics of “One Last Dance” were written by Chesbro, who co-produced the track alongside Don Schweihofer. It was recorded by Todd Harris and Jonathan Chesbro at Berlin Audio Productions in Massachusetts, and mixed and mastered by Erik Von Geldern.
I’m definitely diving more and more into the singer-songwriter sound,” Chesbro admits. “I like it. It comes with challenges. Instrumental music is a little easier for me to make, so I kind of like the challenge this brings me. ‘One Last Dance’ started on acoustic guitar, the initial chords and riff. The guitar solo was a process because I don’t usually write solos but this time I did and added some harmonies with it.”
“One Last Dance” will be featured on an upcoming full-length album, due either later this year or at some point in 2026
“It’s going to be a banger,” he says of the forthcoming album, “with songs that will make you cry and songs that will rock your socks off. I feel like my job as an artist is to make people feel something real and not AI-generated. So if any emotion is sparked, really, I consider that a win.”
Don’t wait any longer…. “One Last Dance”, from Jon Chesbro, is a song you need to hear.
