End Credits

There is value in the fact that you have made it this far
This song End Roll is a piece that reimagines graduation as something that can belong to any turning point in life and not only to students

Graduation from youth
Graduation from a job
Graduation from other peoples expectations
Graduation from what used to hold you back
Graduation from the idea that you must be a certain way

Graduation is not about ending something
It can be a sign to hold your past self close and step forward into what comes next
That is the feeling I put into this music

The title End Roll is a Japanese made English phrase
If I used the words End Credits it would feel as if everything ends there
But the words End Roll somehow leave a sense that there might be something after the ending
That personal feeling is why I chose the title End Roll

Lies failures mistakes and detours
You carried it all and still made it to today
That alone is truly remarkable

It does not matter whether your days were good or bad
If you have reached a turning point you are already connected to the future
And that is enough

To everyone reaching a turning point
And also to myself right now
Congratulations on your graduation and off you go into the future
