about

Fourth track on Doug Johnstone's debut solo EP.
About trying to communicate through music. And probably failing.

lyrics

This is a song for the end of the set
I wanted to write something moving and true
On the power of music
A message you’ll never forget

This is the final song
Hopefully life affirming and poignant
It might make you cry
But at least you’ll feel like you belong

I didn’t write a chorus
I didn’t want to bore us
I didn’t put in any catchy stuff
I knew you wouldn’t like that guff
This is a song for the end of the set

This is a song for the end of the show
I wanted to send you away with the feeling
Your friends and your family
Love you and want you to know

This is a song for the end of your life
Listen along on your eightieth birthday
As you play with the kids and the grandkids
And gaze at your beautiful, sexy, intelligent, passionate
Seventy-eight year old wife

I didn’t write a chorus
I didn’t want to bore us
I didn’t put in any catchy stuff
I knew you wouldn’t like that guff
This is a song for the end of the set
