Song |
"The Song Is Over" is a song by English rock band The Who, appearing on Who's Next. It was originally to be the ending song on Lifehouse after the police invade the Lifehouse Theatre and the concert goers disappear.[2]
"The Song Is Over" is one of the tracks on Who's Next with lead vocals by both Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey and piano work by Nicky Hopkins.[1] According to Pete Townshend the song provides "a mixture of being sad and wistful but at the same time a high point."[2] The mixture of the song is achieved by Pete Townshend's vocals talking of a sense the end: "The song is over, It's all behind me", and Roger's taking a sense of continuing: "I sing my songs to the wide open spaces..."
The song also features quotes from "Pure and Easy" in its final bars.[1]
