    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

We woke up to the noise, from the chaos and the fright
We smelled the smoke drift by, then our neighbors told us why
We climbed familiar paths up the hill that kept us safe
from the valley next to ours to see what could be saved

Drained of color / fields of nothing
All mistakes upon display and framed in grey
Bereft of shelter / the lifeless heather
A road with no end is an invitation to stay

We felt the heat persist from the coals within our midst
That heap and creep like tides and slowly bend the light
And so we turned our backs and scaled familiar paths
Deliberate and tired, we breathed the scattered sighs

Drained of color / fields of nothing
All mistakes upon display and framed in grey
Bereft of shelter / the lifeless heather
A home with no peace is an invitation to stray

The valley echoed back the sound of orphan branches falling down
Return it to the burning ground, and dancing ashes all around
