1.	The End is Around the Corner 02:35	lyrics	buy track
The end is around the corner This is my opportunity Bye-bye Do I really tell or warn her Simply pack my things and leave Bye-bye The end is the end of another lover Again and again, like starting over Begin the begin like rolling thunder Bye Begin just a little colder Pack a blanket here for me Bye-bye Cover my body and over my head And under my feet Bye-bye The end is the end of another lover Again and again, like starting over Begin the begin like rolling thunder Bye The end is around the corner This is my opportunity Bye-bye Do I really tell or warn her Simply pack my things and leave Bye-bye The end is the end of another lover Again and again like starting over Begin the begin like rolling thunder Bye
2.	Onions & Apples 03:03	lyrics	buy track
When are you gonna shake up? I’m bruised and bandaged I don’t wanna wake up Just get along Your fuse is short but your muse is long so carry on We never talk the chapel Between onions and apples Your voice is so sweet But your words are strong Too tied up in knots between right or wrong to carry on When you gonna move me? Stop staring right through me Are you gonna settle down or saddle up Pulled no punches then you just push me away where I belong
3.	Don't You Wish It Were True 02:53	lyrics	buy track
Don't you wish it were true Simple explanation that was never far from view the kind of words that carry you through don't you wish it were true Simple truth or grand design final answer revealed in time but what you can't deny need someone from time to time Don't you wish it were wrong second guess the evidence see the writing on the wall gonna have to carry on but don't you wish you were wrong Simple truth or grand design final answer revealed in time but what you can't deny need someone from time to time Simple truth or grand design final answer revealed in time but what you can't deny need someone from time to time

about

The End is Around the Corner (EP)

The End Is Around The Corner, is a new single and EP by Cave States. The songs were written, recorded and mixed at Todd Schnitzer’s Popscreen Studios.

Written by Danny Kathriner, the song originated from a songwriting process where he and fellow songwriter Chris Grabau randomly drawn from a series of prompts to help kickstart song ideas. Grabau states, “Danny and I will sometimes write prompts on pieces of scrap paper and put them into a cup. Danny drew the phrase and it resonated with us immediately. We talked about how the absurd concept of ‘the end times’ had an influence on our upbringing and the people around us. We both grew up in semi-rural communities informed by the Book of Revelations. The ‘end of days’ were always just around the corner.”

Kathriner adds, “[the song] seemed gloomy at first so I turned it around and made *ending* about new beginnings. For the record, the song was written well before the current crisis, but it seems now to fit the ongoing situations, be it political, social, economic, or even the pandemic. Maybe something good and positive will come from all of this."

Grabau affirms, “As we are seeing now – with a world filled with uncertainty and some very scary outcomes, we are hoping for a new beginning. Perhaps this uncertain time will give space for a new reality committed to social justice, care, and kindness”

The song seams Kathriner’s intimate voice with lilting piano, minimal percussion, and staccato strings. Topped off with a chorus of voices provided by guests Joey Dresslaer and Stephanie Stewart.
