"The inspiration behind this song and the composition that went into it. All the pianos, the violins, the somber sad feeling is very blunt yet sentimental. I, personally, think I've been to way too many funerals in my life and lost too many loved ones well before I was ready. Through the crying, the sermons, the last goodbyes...all I could hear is that damn funeral home music and it's burned itself into my brain for the last time. "Epitaphs and Farewells" gives me the opportunity to make my own funeral song, my last goodbye to those I've lost and the closure that I never got to have with those people. I really want the emotions that I felt making this be the same emotions that you feel listening to it. Whether it's just once a day or whenever you feel that weight of mortality weighing down on you. Please, use my song as either a beacon of hope or a means to grieve. I thoroughly hope you all enjoy "Epitaphs and Farewells" when it drops September 24th." - Ashli Scranton, 9/19/2026
