There Is No Beginning to the Story is an EP by Bright Eyes. The songs on it are fairly varied, with "From a Balance Beam" and "Loose Leaves" having more electronic qualities, while "Messenger Bird's Song" and "We Are Free Men" are more rooted in acoustic. The 12" vinyl edition includes 2 extra songs: "Amy in the White Coat," a harrowing song about a father's sexual abuse of his daughter and "Out on the Weekend," a Neil Young cover.

This album is the 45th release of Saddle Creek Records.
