Skeeter Davis - the End of the World video free download
Skeeter Davis sings 'The End of the World' live at the Midnight Special on April 6, 1973.
The song was her biggest hit in 1963 and of her career. Reaching #2 on Billboards country and pop charts,#1 Adult Contemporary Easy Listening hit and #4 hit on Billboard's rhythm and blues (R&B) chart. A remarkable achievement since nobody has done that before. Lyrics were written by Sylvia Dee in memory of her father and the music by Arthur Kent.
Lyric:
Why does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of the world
Cause you don't love me anymore
Why do the birds go on singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand no I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye
Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye

I'd normally make some comment about how the world has changed 50 years on ... but it would be pointless ... all we can do is cherish the great songs and singers and our memories ...9 years ago

I Never knew any other song that go so deeply into a teenager's love feelings as this one. Every time I sing it in my shows I feel like crying! It was really like the end of the world the first time for me too! these things you never forget no matter what age you are.9 years ago

In 1987, I had the pleasure and honor of working for 5 weeks with Arthur who wrote this song. He was my musical director and orchestra leader for a show I was directing.Amazing does not even to begin to describe Arthur. Fun to be around, but very reserved. The definition of a the ultimate professional.Would not play End of the World no matter how many times, or how we pleaded with him. A true pro, and completely unflappable. Can't say enough about him as a person or professional.If anyone is interested, I can tell you how he came up with the title.9 years ago

Mis Canciones Favoritas
Su nombre real es Mary Francis Penick. El sobrenombre de Skeeter (mosquito), se lo puso su madre de niña por su pequeñez y energía. Con esta canción llego al nº 1 de las listas americanas y también al nº 1 de las de Caravana, donde es la Serie Dorada nº 474. Cantante de limitadas dotes vocales que suplía con estilo, se mantuvo activa con varios éxitos más en la década de los 60 y principios de los 70, tanto en las listas de música pop como en las de country. La letra dice:"¿Por qué el sol sigue brillando? ¿Por qué el mar se apresura hacia la orilla? ¿Es que no saben que es el fin del mundo? Porque tú ya no me quieres ¿Por qué los pájaros siguen cantando? ¿Por qué las estrellas brillan en el cielo? ¿No saben que es el fin del mundo? ¿Que terminó cuando perdí tu amor? Me levanto por la mañana y me pregunto ¿Por qué sigue todo como antes? No puedo entenderlo, no puedo entenderlo. Como la vida sigue, de la misma manera ¿Por qué mi corazón sigue latiendo? ¿Por qué esos ojos míos lloran? ¿Es que no saben que es el fin del mundo? Que terminó cuando dijiste adiós".Brillante canción en música y letra. Una de las más interpretadas y grabadas de la historia, por innumerables intérpretes.9 years ago

Growing up, I loved Skeeter Davis so dearly. She was such a sweet example of "goodness" for us teenagers...no sexy persona nor nasty words...she was beautifully simple...and such a sweet role model for all of us young girls. She was truly a lady!!! We danced the night away to this gorgeous song!! Thank you for posting it. Brings back sweet memories for all of us.Related Videos
