I sang this song (the part starting at 03:15) at my dad's funeral last year. It still hurts so much and I still love it so much at the same time.

The bassoon solo at 4:31 though, amazing, I play the bassoon and hearing it in a song like this is very pleasing

Gus Unger-Hamilton of alt-J about Last Year in an interview with IndieShuffle: "Marika’s part is another a song within a song. The first part, where Joe is singing, is someone reading sort of literally of this decline and depression and death over the course of a year. And the final line is “to be sang at my funeral,” which leads into this person singing at his funeral. It’s a very, very sad song. It was the last song to be added to the album. It was one that was written at Christmas. Joe was talking to me about it and like, “Yeah, it’s really, really, really sad. I’m not sure I can show it to anybody, it’s depressing.” But it’s a beautiful song, so we put it on the album."
