Brisbane multi-instrumentalist Steve Tyssen has a new song to reveal today, and it's the fourth single off last year's album, Love To Love.

Called Final Place To Call Your Home, it features Jess Lean of The Brains Trust on vocals and was written by Tyssen while he was away on the road in Brazil. 

Tyssen explains, "It's more or less a metaphor for the seemingly constant struggle to find yourself and find purpose in what you do. Most of the time we only remember good experiences, but I think it's also the bad experiences that really make us who we are. The song is about taking risks and stepping closer to where you we want to be. 

"It's also a duet which features my good friend Jess Lean from The Brains Trust on vocals.  We were living together at the time of recording and I asked Jess to sing some harmonies on a few tracks. When I heard the second verse that she had written for Final Place - I was blown away - and it completely changed the dynamic of the song for the better."

The song's video is a similarly understated affair, shot in black and white by director Bradley Murnane (Spilting Films).

Murnane says, "The idea for the clip was to create something with simplistic honesty and totally stripped back, no gimmicks or tricks. The juxtaposition of the songs lyrics to the imagery was an essential place to explore these characters, allowing for them to express emotions in its simplest form. We often are torn between the idea of what we perceive ourselves to be and the actual self. That the distance between these two ideals, often leaves us in a constant state of longing."
