Our place to begin was the idea of an ending — loss of life, or the tip of a friendship or relationship. Each music comes from a narrative, or an thought certainly one of us has had that we’ve all expanded on and made its personal world. Perhaps it’s our nature, however we stored feeling that the album title was finally open to much more interpretation. The tip of a factor or a time can imply a cease, however it could actually additionally imply a starting, and what occurs after one factor ends may pale compared to what it turns into subsequent.
