"'Here's Where the Story Ends'" is a song by English alternative rock band the Sundays, released as the second single from their debut album 'Reading, Writing and Arithmetic'.

Nonetheless, it achieved a No. 36 placing in John Peel's Festive Fifty for 1990.

Critical reception
'Daily Record' said the song is "great"."Chart Slot". 'Daily Record'. 27 March 1998. Retrieved 1 December 2020. 'Music & Media' wrote, "This dance duo - DJ Darren Stokes and multi-instrumentalist Lindsay Edwards - started out as remixers for the likes of Urban Cookie Collective, Espiritu and Captain Hollywood. However, their own output could just as easily be described as pop with a strong dance element as the other way around. Heres Where The Story Ends has taken the British Isles by storm, and first indications are that it could also do pretty well on the continent. A host of remixes render the song suitable for formats ranging from fairly mellow AC to dance." Marcus Berkmann from 'The Spectator' called it a "redundant new interpretation". He added, "So perhaps we should praise the enterprise, if nothing else, of Tin Tin Out (whoever they are) for taking one of the Sundays' best tunes, reproducing it almost exactly and then slapping a thumpy dance beat all over it. Result: instant top ten single, which is one more than the Sundays themselves have managed up to now."Berkmann, Marcus (4 April 1998). "It Isn't Fair". 'The Spectator'. Retrieved 1 December 2020. 'Sunday Mirror' described the song as a "good (but sacrilegious) version" and picked it as one of the "highlights" from the 'Always' album.'Sunday Mirror'. 5 April 1998. p. 43.
