    From its inception, The End and the Beginning was meant to be the most hopeful and acoustic-sounding Drownbeat album yet, and that is exactly what it has become. Unlike the first two Drownbeat releases, which utilized many different songwriters and vocalists, The End and the Beginning was written by only two people: Dan Milligan and Bill Acuña of Chicago’s Despotic Hall of Fame. In addition, the lengthy list of performers was replaced with a small group of musicians, giving it a much more intimate and band-like feeling than the first two albums. And while it’s not necessarily a “concept album” in the traditional sense, the songs on the album are very tightly bound together with a common theme. The result is Drownbeat’s most consistent musical offering to date.

lyrics

When the light broke the treeline in two
with catkins flying the white eclipsed the blue
The dawn uncovered, a field burst over night
of cold wet tulips competing for the light

Remember that feeling when it comes back again
You’ll see it all revealing like a smile from a friend

Every morning is a promise and a story to be told
There is hope in the new day and a challenge to unfold
Never mind who owns the world, we are rich in our souls
With the legs of optimism we will walk until we’re whole

Then the grass warmed and spread a hazy steam
and filled our senses with fragrance from the scene
Crickets called out their neighbors from the stream
with bullfrogs joining the vernal symphony

Can we hang these moments on loops that never end?
‘Cos this one barely started then repeats itself again

Every morning is a promise and a story to be told
There is hope in the new day and a challenge to unfold
Never mind who owns the world, we are rich in our souls
With the legs of optimism we will walk until we’re whole
