Cover art for The End of The World lyrics by Skeeter Davis

my favorite movie is girl,interrupted. this song plays on an old record player during the scene where a girl hangs herself and there is not a single song that would have been more appropriate than this one-- the lyrics, which seem to communicate the emotions she felt while tying the noose, make her suicide all the more devastating. so many songs attempt to give off a vibe of real, sincere sadness but this one does the best job of it i have ever heard. the piano-played background is gorgeous, the lyrics are even more beautiful and yet so melancholy that the combination of the two creates a strange, apocalyptic kind of beauty that only someone who has lost the love of a lifetime can truly relate to. can you relate?

dont they know it's the end of the world? it ended when you said goodbye.
