about
Like the first bittersweet miles of the drive home from a grand adventure, The Bishop Boys’ new single, “Brief Ends” is laden with sun-drenched nostalgia. Austin Di Pietro’s rich solo vocals muse on the pains of goodbye, with melancholy acoustic guitars and hymn-like choruses, leading into a cascading finale of dreamy, meditative organ. Beautifully produced and deeply felt, “Brief Ends” is a heady mix of memory and musicality: a reverent ode to the final chapters of friendship.
lyrics
Midnight breezes through my mind
Lonely visions of long lost friends
Always dreaming of somewhere else
Telling stories all by yourself
Platonic friends, romance run dry
I’d stick out my neck if I only knew why
Bleeding yellow but I’m feeling blue
Great minds think alike until they find someone new
Long friends, brief ends
I did not intend
Wrong way, can’t stay Oh
I’ll never see you again
Finding time for losing touch
Writing postcards don’t mean so much
Anywhere that I would rather be
Got locked up inside my memory
Platonic friends, romance run dry
I’d stick out my neck if I only knew why
Bleeding yellow but I’m feeling blue
Great minds think alike, but then again, we all do.
Long friends, brief ends
I did not intend
Wrong way, can’t stay Oh
I’ll never see you again
Long friends, brief ends
I did not intend
Wrong way, can’t stay Oh
I’ll never see you again
