about

The centerpiece of Eddie Japan's full-length record, Golden Age, "The End of Everything" is a sprawling epic that conjures the likes of The Rolling Stones, U2 and early Radiohead. A reflection on depression, a somber chord progression on Fender Rhodes eventually gives way to crashing guitars, cathartic vocals and one of the most indelible chorus hooks of 2017. "The End of Everything" shows Eddie Japan at the height of its dramatic powers.

lyrics

I cry to the darkest angel, oh she knows me well
and I’ve wandered into my own private circle of hell
Will the sun come up tomorrow?
Will the moon rise?
I don’t know

I’ve walked away from everything I’ve ever known
for the tantalizing scene of a man alone
But the future is a desert
and happiness
just a mirage

Is this the end
Is this the end
Is it the end of everything?

Led astray again by that same ennui
emboldened by a most persistent vanity
A flash of false promises
A siren call
from the rocks

Standards are so high for a spirit so low
In the blackest spring where nothing good can grow
The crocus has been blown out
I’m lost
in the flood

Is this the end
Is this the end
Is this the end of everything?
Is this the end
Is this the end
Is this the end of everything?

Love
will it see me through
don’t know what to do
with all this desire
Love
did we waste the years?
I’ve captured all my tears
I want to give them all to you

Is this the end
Is this the end
Is this the end of everything?
Is this the end
Is this the end
Is this the end of everything?

about

Eddie Japan Boston

".. a contagious attitude of doing it up, and doing it up right that you can hear in the carnival swirls of ultra-melodic pop, latin-flavored bravado and cinematic ‘70s UK rock."
