End of the Line

In the official music video for "End of the Line," a chair is shown with a guitar and Orbison's photo as a tribute to him. Orbison had sadly passed away two months before the release of the album.

The song is a part of the Traveling Wilburys' debut album, "Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1," which went triple platinum in the United States and hit number 3 on the Billboard album charts.

It was recorded in the house of Eurythmics' Dave Stewart. The band didn't record in traditional professional studios. Instead, they preferred to work in a more relaxed domestic setting.

The song’s title "End of the Line" is suggestive of the inevitability of death, yet the track has a positive tone overall, perhaps reflecting the philosophy that life should be enjoyed despite its ultimate endpoint.

The song has had other media exposure, including in the final scene of the 2012 film, "The Silver Linings Playbook" as well as in the end credits of the 2017 documentary, "George Harrison: Living in the Material World."

George Harrison plays the ukulele in "End of the Line," which was one of Harrison's favorite instruments.

One interesting aspect of "End of the Line" is how the group shares lead vocal duties. The first two verses are sung by George Harrison, followed by Tom Petty and then Jeff Lynne. However, joining together for the choruses gives the song an amazing layered harmony. This created a unique sound that many fans loved.

The album cover for "Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1" was shot in Los Angeles by photographer Neal Preston. It featured all five members of the band and a large sideways guitar, which added an interesting element to the album artwork.
