The Ending

(Begin with the guitar tuned down a step and a half (i.e., E down to C#). From there, it’s tuned C#F#G#C#G#C#. An ugly one on paper but not quite as tough as it appears. The bark is worse than the bite.)

I had originally hoped, in my early album planning, that this song could be pulled off with just the guitar and me. This is the quieter, more reflective alternative to the wall of sound that exists on the Miracle of Forgetting version. In a sheer stroke of wit and utter genius, I placed this song as the final track. Brilliant.
