Spencer Lee Wilson (aka The Dead Poet) – The Last Waltz

If there ever were an artist who illustrated the human condition so thoughtfully and authentically, it was Spencer Lee Wilson aka The Dead Poet. It’s not wrong to call him a poet with his nostalgic vocals and unsurpassable storytelling, in fact there are few other words that completely summarise Wilson’s artistry.

‘The Last Waltz’ is the third and final track from Wilson’s project ‘Only Human’, a project mirroring our relationship with time. The track is “about standing up when the world feels heavy, holding on when everything seems lost, and finding meaning in the passing of time”, and is the perfect dose of acoustic folk. Wilson uses creative imagery to highlight how fleeting our time on earth is, and that we can either worry and waste that time away, or choose to enjoy it anyway.

“In that final line – “then we danced the whole night through” – there’s a kind of release. A reminder that even in the face of time, we can still choose joy. We can still move. We can still dance – and without complacency, trust that time is on your side.”

The Dead Poet – The Letter

Huddersfield’s The Dead Poet, Spencer Lee Wilson, crafts poignant singer-songwriter music, exploring the depths of human experience through acoustic melodies and evocative lyrics.

Wilson’s voice, a blend of raw emotion and vulnerability, draws listeners into his world. His songwriting, rich in storytelling, delves into themes of love, loss, hope, and nostalgia, capturing the delicate balance between joy and sorrow. His “rough around the edges” acoustic guitar playing complements his vocals, adding an authentic and unfiltered layer to his music.

“The Letter” serves as a poignant reminder to seize opportunities and avoid regret. The song reflects on missed chances, with lyrics like “Did you ever realise to swim out in the ocean, was an option as you daydreamed in the shallows,” highlighting the tendency to let life drift by passively. It’s a self-reflective piece, encouraging listeners to embrace the present and avoid the “what ifs” of the future.
