Texas indie rockers The Disappearing Act just released their new album "An illusion" and to celebrate we asked Salim Nourallah to tell us about one of the songs and he selected the track "The Act Of Ending Things". Here is the story:
Thanks for asking The Disappearing Act to be part of Singled Out! I've picked "The Act of Ending Things" from our upcoming album as the track I'd like to discuss. Over the past few years, I've kept a running list of potential song titles and ideas. Many times, a phrase that jumps out to me in conversation as being clever or interesting will make the list. This particular song emerged that way. One night, I was enjoying a dinner hang with my significant other's father when he stated that he'd "never had a problem with letting go of people." The sentiment was interesting to me; it was the opposite of something I'd say. I asked him to explain in further detail, and he offered more thoughts on "the act of ending things." Both of these phrases immediately made it to my list of song ideas. I'd just written another Disappearing Act song that also appears on our new album called "Another Way of Saying Goodbye." That particular song came from an acquaintance of mine who'd boasted about his ability to end friendships by declaring the offending party "dead." In my mind, the protagonist of that song was related to the singer of "The Act of Ending Things." Maybe they could even be the same person? (continue)
