Q: Love the new song btw, it feels like its already becoming one of my favorites. Was there a certain inspiration behind "the ending" 's name or the theme of the song?
A: the verse melody is what started it all. i came up with it while i was busy trying to select one of my already existing ideas for what song to record next, but, that new melody hit me out of nowhere and shortcutted the entire selection process. the theme of the song came out of nowhere, and i actually was frustrated that i couldn't find a first line that was iconic enough for my liking. i was also assuming that the first line would be the title, but when i couldn't find anything good enough for that, i kind of hastily raced through the writing trying to outrun my discomfort of having to settle for the existing first line. i had no idea what the actual title would be, even well after i'd finished writing the song, and into production. i liked the "the ending" part of the song (the middle), but for some reason i didn't even notice that lyric when spending multiple times combing through every line in the song for an applicable title. finally when i was very near the end of the whole production process and had already begun throwing around totally extraneous titles, i combed through the lyrics one more time in search of a title and found that "the ending" part, right in plain sight, and it was an obvious title. but i didn't even notice this until i was just about done with the production of the song
