An Alternative Interpretation

edit

I've always interpreted the end of SOTT (train whistle, etc.) to signify that Johnny either dies or kills himself, which is eerily similar to Kevin's fate. Could be wrong, but that's what I sense Kevin is saying "at the END of a long day's night." Lending further support, SOTT's last song is called "Johnny's Last Song." Seems pretty final to me. I miss Kevin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.31.192.100 (talkcontribs) 13:32, April 29, 2009

Funny (well, not) -- I was just listening to SoTT on the way to work this morning, and yes, the last ambience sounds to me like a shower, just running on.
I'd like to think Johnny moves on, sadder but wiser, but that wouldn't seem to match the darkness of the rest of the album. But this, of course, is all OR. Unless there's some place we can cite, that explains what the ending was intended to be, there should be no interpretation in the article.
