“This Is How It Ends” tells the story of a couple glancing back on memories of what was and how it all used to be before accepting the sorrowful end to their romance. The track comes hot off the press as Earle’s album was just released last year.

“Turn around and look at how far we’ve come / From two hearts beating like a single drum / Said you’d never lie and I promised I’d never run / Forever wasn’t just another word back then,” The two sing in crisp harmony.

Lambert has often covered many of Earle’s classics in various live performances and stage shows, and it’s clear that she’s been a big fan of his work, so this pairing of voices and talent is one that definitely struck an exciting new chord for her.
