"My Ending" began as an intimate bedroom-pop track—just me, a microphone, and some minimal synth layers. It was meant to be raw and personal, but as I continued to work on it, the song started to take on a much larger scope.
That’s when I brought in my friend, Adam Conrad, who helped create a sweeping string arrangement. The collaboration took the song to a whole new level.
The turning point came when we got the Budapest String Orchestra involved...
It was surreal to hear these beautifully complex, lush strings transform the track from its humble beginnings into this huge, cinematic experience.
Their live performance added layers of depth that took the song’s production to another world entirely, bringing in this sweeping, orchestral vibe that contrasts with the song’s emotional vulnerability.
Musically, the song grew into something bigger than I had ever imagined, reflecting the emotional weight of realizing a relationship was not the “end game” I thought it would be...
That orchestral arrangement gave the song a sense of finality and grandeur, amplifying the heartbreak and providing a rich, sonic backdrop that helped tell the story.
