If you’ve been waiting for Dom Quincey to make his return, good news — he’s back, and he’s hitting us right in the feelings. After more than a year away, the indie storyteller re-emerges with ‘It’s Not The End…’, a delicate, emotionally charged guitar-pop ballad.
From the very first notes, Dom pulls you into a world that’s part alt-pop dreamscape, part indie-folk confession booth. Angelic melodies float above warm acoustic textures, and before you know it, you’re wrapped in a sound that feels cinematic, nostalgic, and painfully sincere — basically Dom Quincey distilled into one song.
The heart of this track is grief — raw, personal, and deeply human. Written after the loss of his closest friend, the song moves like a quiet conversation between sorrow and hope. The strings glide, the acoustics glow, and every lyric feels like it’s carrying the weight of the questions we ask when the world stops making sense.
Dom himself describes it as a search for signs — tiny sparks that suggest the people we lose might still be reaching out from somewhere unseen. And you can feel that in every line. There’s no forced optimism here, just honest emotion and the kind of vulnerability that makes a song linger long after it ends.
What makes the track even more special is how it came together. Dom wrote it during his first session with Evil Genius, and it arrived almost fully formed — “whole sections of lyrics and melodies intact,” he recalls. The vocal you hear? Recorded in one take. The strings, arranged by Jed Bevington, push the song into a beautifully cinematic realm, heightening the ache, but also the hope.
‘It’s Not The End…’ is a masterclass in emotional honesty and timeless songwriting
