The End

Jim Morrison---Every time I hear that song, it means something else to me. It started out as a simple good-bye song… Probably just to a girl, but I see how it could be a goodbye to a kind of childhood. I really don’t know. I think it’s sufficiently complex and universal in its imagery that it could be almost anything you want it to be.

I’ve heard songwriters say that they prefer the listener attach their own meaning to a song rather than know what they were thinking when they wrote it.

Houdini died on Halloween in Detroit, but that was more than 54 years ago.

 

Are you referring to the “Really big shooow” that launched the British Invasion?  Seems unlikely to be described as an end; more like a beginning, whereas 11/22/63 was an end.

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end

Yup and I hope Keith was just having a bad day and is now contemplating happier material...
