Watch the music video for ‘Bring An End’ below.On the song, Grant said via Classic Pop: “Norman wrote the tune and sent me it and I had a feeling about it right away.

Honestly, I just opened a notebook and it was pretty much all there and I had absolutely no recollection of having written any of it.

I spent an afternoon honing it and that was it. ‘Bring an end to this ugliness…’ has a universality about it. Maybe it can be our Mull of Kintyre.”Blake added: “Bring An End was one of the many musical fragments that live on my phone.
