“Beginning Middle End” by Leah Nobel
The title of this song (“Beginning Middle End”) metaphorically alludes to the concept of marriage, i.e. a lifelong romantic relationship. And basically, the singer is rejoicing because she feels she met someone who will fulfill that role in her life, that person being the addressee.
Verse 1
The first verse features her recognizing their relationship as a wish come true. No, it did not materialize as promptly as she had idealized. And in the meantime, she engaged in a number of discouraging romances. But now, once again, she is able to rejoice in the addressee “fit(ting) so well”.
Verse 2
In the second verse she expresses appreciation for the aforementioned journey. Yes, as insinuated earlier it was quite challenging. But perhaps we can say that, now that she has reached her goal, looking back on those days has become a lot more meaningful. And this is especially in regards to her relationship with the addressee.
Chorus
But the above being said, even from the time she and the addressee became acquainted, she felt “a sign” that he was the one. And fortunately for her, it does appear that the two of them may well prove to be an item forevermore. Or at least it is such she is romanticizing, i.e. she and her significant other growing old together. And it may even be said, given the inquisitive nature of the chorus, that ultimately the purpose of this song is to serve as a means for her to introduce this idea to him.
Summary of “Beginning Middle End”
The title (“Beginning Middle End”) is used as a strong metaphor throughout the song. It is a metaphor for the singer’s great desire to grow old with the song’s addressee, who happens to be the love of her life.
Facts about “Beginning Middle End”
Leah Noble wrote this song, alongside its producer Quinn Redmond, specifically for a 2021 Netflix movie entitled “To All the Boys: Always and Forever” (the third in a trilogy). The track came out on the same day as the flick, courtesy of Capitol Records, which was 12 February 2021. It is also part of the feature’s official soundtrack. In fact it plays a very-important role in the film, in addition to being inspired by it.
Within the movie itself, the song is played (or dubbed by) a group of real-life musicians known as The Greeting Committee, who also portray a band in the story. And the quartet, who hail from Kansas City, have a genuine affinity for “Beginning Middle End”, even placing it on a special Valentine’s Day Playlist they put together – in celebration of the film – for 2021.
The official soundtrack to To All the Boys 3 also features a cover of “Beginning Middle End” by The Greeting Committee, in addition to two different mixes of the Leah Nobel cut.
