I first heard this song in 1971 on a monoaureal transistor radio. I was sitting on the sidewalk in front of the house of the girl I liked, she had just come from the United States to settle in my neighborhood. We were both teenagers. She spoke English, I didn't. The device received a signal from a station in the United States - I'm from Monterrey. This song captivated me. I didn't understand the lyrics very well but I loved the sensitivity with which Skeeter Davis sings and since then it has been one of my favorites. Now I speak English. I understand the lyrics, it's quite a romantic song. Whenever I listen to it I go back to that moment.

Beautiful Song! By A Beautiful Woman! Jesus Loves You My Dear Friends! God Bless You Always! John 3:16
I lost my wife in 2010 to cancer and I still play this song. I'll never get over losing her. I lost the one true love in my life and I'm very grateful for having such a beautiful woman, inside and out, in my life.
I'm so very sorry to hear that. I almost lost my wife two years ago. It's been a long road but without saying anything else I'm sure you know exactly what I'm talking about. She's still with me and I just can't imagine the pain of losing her. God bless you my brother and I will remember you in my prayers.
Condolences on your loss.
Lost my Rainy in 2014. She loved Skeeters music. I'll miss and love her forever.
Stay strong my friend my wife has Ovarian Cancer there’s no cure.
Keeping all who have lost loved ones to cancer in prayer. Someday you will be with her again in Heaven.
I remember hearing this song back in 1963/4 when it was released. I just lost my wife Dec. 2023 to cancer and I cried my eyes out while listening to it.
Sorry for your loss friend.
So very sorry for your loss.
Nice,
17 years ago we lost her to cancer. RIP. Never get tired of hearing this song.
If this song came out in 62 this just shows how good it is ..I wasn't born till 66 and heard it around mid 80s . I've loved it ever since .. still listening in 2023 . So 61 years old and still going . A timeless classic
I love how people are hearing through the fallout series and learning about her and the songs she sang
The 60’s music lives forever.
Skeeter Davis was a wonderful gem and an all time legend. This version is the best.Pure class.
A great song a great voice RIP Sweet Angel Mary Frances Penick AKA Skeeter Davis.
I played this song over, over, and over 🔂🔂🔂 when I lost my brother in 1993 he was 17, I was 20.....I'm now 47 and I still miss him sooo very much 😢😢😢 💔
Omg.. Stay strong..❤️🙏🏼
I'm so sorry/ That's heart breaking
❤️
So sorry for your loss. God bless you, and keep you always.

1976 when I started to play the guitar this is the song I learnt
My husband died of colon cancer in his 40s in 2005. I also play this for him.
Awesome. You're so lucky
I lost my husband on 11/8/23 and life is over for me. It’ll never be the same workout him.
Remember this song? Thanks for bringing this oldie back.❤️😇Grab your LOVE and hold on tight.🥰🤙
Graduated in 1962. Remember dancing to this song.
I wasn't born until 1964 but I've got older brothers so I grew up with songs like this! She has an angelic voice :)
She was so good that even the ETERNALS LISTENED TO HER .. LOVED IT
🤪🤣🤣🤣
😂
much better than that, they literally picked it to be their theme.
@@lehoang7780 Skeeter is my cousin. Her real name is Mary Penick. She is from Dry Ridge, Ky.
@@sheilamorgan3845 I mean, "the eternals" pick "the song" as their theme song. and hi to you, Skeeter cousin.
The saddest part of life is when the person who gave you the most memories becomes a memory.
This song takes me back many, many years! Such a great voice! RIP, Skeeter!
Damn, did she die too??
@@rickmartin6817 She died several years ago,from breast cancer. Google her name.
My daddy had an LP with this song and even though I was a wee little girl I adored this song.
I'm 76 and I sing this at karaoke. Those youngsters are blown away.
@@kathyfitzgerald7286 I'm just 30 but I also sing this at karaoke :))
My mother used to sing all of skeeterDavis songs when I was a child,iam 65 and still listening,rest in peace mum
The beauty of that era was the music was so good it was able to crossover.
So many memories of the lost ones.
I lost my mother not even 2 months ago and I play this song for her. Rest in peace !
"hold fast" (1Thess.5 :21)
No One, I Mean **No One** Can Sing "The End Of The World" Like **Skeeter** **Davis** Her Unique Sincerity And Emotional Intensity Of Her Voice, Is So **Smooth And So Special** It Is So **Mesmerizing**
No one could have put it better: the sincerity and emotional intensity of her voice
I think Brenda Lee does a better version. Just my opinion
Ya Brenda Lee! She also rocks around her xmas tree better too!##
*Brenda Lee* and *Karen Carpenter* both did versions of this song that are at least the *equal* of Skeeter's version -- AND in my humble opinion, are better than Skeeter's.
,so mamy wonderful singers have covered this song, , karen carpenter , brenda lee , sonia, , my favourite has to be nat king coles version.
Skeeter Davis OWNED this song!
Bring back the oldies........
Wunderschönes Lied, so etwas gibt es heute kaum noch. Früher war Stimme gefragt u.das Gefühl darin. Träumen war mit inbegriffen so wie heute noch. Herrlich. Danke 🤩🤩😍😍👍
I remember when this song came out in 1962 when I was 12 years old. It crossed the rock & country charts. Does that tell you how great this song was?
I'm 17 and I love this song! This masterpiece deserves all the recognitions it deserves
It’s a strange, brilliant, and hauntingly beautiful song, like Johnny Cash’s “Ghost Riders in the Sky.”
To this day, it remains the only song in history to be in the top 5 of all FOUR major charts simultaneously.
It was better than that! To date, it is the only single to break the top five on the country, Hot 100, R&B, and Adult Contemporary charts...all four of them!
Hit number 2 on the Billboard Top 100 in 1963.
Lost my twin brother 20 years ago. This song brings back the sorrow that never leaves me. This song is universally true.
That sucks dude 😔😔😔
I lost my baby sister this past Christmas December to covid we will never loose the sorrow but we will remember.
same for me,he took his own life at age 31,now at 72 i still grieve at times,all the vey best.
I'm sorry you lost your twin brother, nothing can fix a loss like this. I lost my twin brother in 1985, he was robbed and murdered, his death was horrific, he died and I've never recovered from this loss. God bless you and your brother.
@@eagle1845 God bless you too. At least we had a soulmate that nothing compares.
I remember waiting for this song to come on the radio back in the day when we had no internet or you tube.I was a girl in junior high .Now in my 70's ,I still love this song.It takes me back to my first crush.My first heartache ---what a song and what a great talent.Thank you Skeeter.
I grew up with this music,patsy Cline,I sang these songs back to my parents and I loved it,my mam left us 9 year's ago for god,but my dad 80 this month and I will sing these songs back to him,he will love it as they loved it and taught me xxx
2021. I played this at the Senior Center. NOT A DRY EYE IN THE HOUSE. 🎼🎶🎵 So beautiful & sad.....Cero Miedo..!!!💥😎🙏
As a young man I worked in a diner in Warwick Rhode Island in the early sixties and this song by Skeeter Davis played all day long on the jukebox.
Skeeter was a great lady. Singapore 1985 I got to meet her and we became friends . She came out to my ship for lunch had a great time. When I got back to the states we would call in the middle of the night and chat after her show. I was lucky to be in town amd she took me back stage to meet other singers. I miss her very much from the chats to her friendship.
This song is a very beautiful way to express the most dark and depressing feelings of life. Very touching for me. Thanks to Girl Interrupted many of us know this piece.
Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie
It’s also one of the best songs of the Fallout 4 soundtrack
Not sure if you are aware... but the composer of this song, Sylvia Dee, wrote the lyrics to this song when she was 14 years old, the night her father died.
Interesting. Although I've seen "Girls interrupted" once I can't remember the song was in its soundtrack. I knew it before from "Baby love - Lemon Popsicle 5". ;-)

O-H-I-O Porter greetings 🇺🇸 Here in 2023, this is still a great song, full of heart, talent & soul! It may have come out in about 1962, but it still has plenty of meaning. I’m glad to have found it here on this web. Blessings to all! 🥰😎✌️
My mom had the original record given to her and this is the song she played on her record player as a lullaby for me when I was a baby. I love this song . It chokes me up every time I listen to it After my mom passed away in 2010
So sorry for your loss, Andrea.
so sorry for your loss..stay strong
God bless❤
Rip dear lady youre song is beautiful i wish to say how I love my dear mom that past away from leukemia in 2004. As a 35 year old single that has remaining family I am strong i believe
No frills. No bling... Just pure talent.
A song that will never die.
Hello Susanna How are you doing today?
Those were the days, no back up singers- just pure talent.
And reverb. There is a clear effect on her voice.
One of my fav songs back in the day
I'm 17 and I love old songs, because it's pure❤️
I’m 74, and I couldn’t agree with you more, our time was the best !!
@@dalerash6285 I wish me and my girlfriend were born in that time🥺😭
@@anapinthesummer2706 The only down side, for my generation, was the Vietnam War, many of us were caught up in it, myself included !
@@dalerash6285 oh my god, I'm sorry sir🥺🥺🥺 I hope you are happy and healthy with your family 😭❤️
O-H-I-O Porter greetings 🇺🇸 Here in 2023, this is still a great song, full of heart, talent & soul! It may have come out in about 1962, but it still has plenty of meaning. Hope you still enjoy it. It helps to keep things in perspective. 🥰😎✌️
What a timeless voice, this song always stirred my soul way back when!💔 How is it the years have gone by so fast!🥺 Too all those amazing days we thought would last forever!💕
스키터 데이비스 님 반갑습니다 1970년대 제가 고등학교때부터 아주 좋아했었습니다.The end of the world, He Says The Same Things To Me, A Dear John Letter.등등(I am Korean South)
Was my favorite ❤ back then little did I know ❤
Listening to Skeeter there must be a lot of people who now are listening to this song and thinking of there lost loved ones. God bless you all
I grow up listening to this great music, I’ve now got grandchildren who listen to her too😘. Still listening to her in 2021!! Love you Skeeter ❤️😇
Barrie. Like you my grandchildren like so many of the classic 60s songs. They don’t always admit it but I can tell.
This song tears at my heart. My first wife left me after just being married for three years. I was just 21 then. And the saddest part of it all is I'm 71 one now and I still love her after all these years. But at least I finally someone who truly loves me and will never leave me
Glad you’ve a good partner now, you love someone lots and try to do the right thing, then you get hurt, I’ve a lovely girl now so I’m fortunate. Good luck to you my friend 👍👍👍
Sincerely wish you happiness. I can easily understand how this wonderful song by Skeeter Davis could affect you like this.
Glad you found someone that makes you happy. Wish you guys the best!
Favorite song of my mother😢
Don't believe there will ever be a dislike vote for this song. It's like a gift with in a kings treasury no money can touch. Thank you Skeeter. We love you.❤
I love to hear Skeeter sing this beautiful song,she’s so sweet
Hello Maryjane How are you doing today?
this is a beautiful and touching song.. still a pleasure hearing it after countless times…
Hit number 2 in 1963 in the U.S.
What a sick world that we live in, 😪 killings, anger, drug abuse, And then you listern to this and wonder why.?🥺
Beautiful song and voice, I never get tired of her singing.
I am related to she she is my 3 cousin on my dad's side I took up singing cuz of her
She was and still is the best!
Nope michael jackson was and still is
@@joanierobinson6918 She didn't rape little kids
neither michael jackson
@@troybaker2341 Exactly
Will you both shut the fuck up both of them are dead, and were amazing magicians. Respect it.
I have always loved this song, but it took on a different meaning on December 9, 2010 when my husband passed away. We had been married for 42 years and my world seemed to stop on that day. With God's help, I found you have to go on with living. I still tear up when this song is played.
After my wife left me at Christmas, this song brought me comfort.
Loss of a child will create a void that will never be filled. Skeeter pure talent!
Lost my baby son, who took his beautiful life from us. Heartbreak that will never heal, until God heals it.
@@catherinegray5775 Mine was seven. This 25th November it will be 30 years ago. Feels like it just happened. Stay strong, Catherine.
@@Ridgerunner41can I please ask How He Died😢😢😢
@CandidlyCheri78 He had a malignant brainstem tumor. University Hospital in Baltimore gave him 4 months. We(his brother and I) fought like hell and managed 11 months. We made the best of the time we had. Not much even today can be done for that type of tumor. The brainstem controls heart rate, breathing, gag reflex(ability to swallow, etc.) Thanks for asking.
I first heard this song in 1971 on a monoaureal transistor radio. I was sitting on the sidewalk in front of the house of the girl I liked, she had just come from the United States to settle in my neighborhood. We were both teenagers. She spoke English, I didn't. The device received a signal from a station in the United States - I'm from Monterrey. This song captivated me. I didn't understand the lyrics very well but I loved the sensitivity with which Skeeter Davis sings and since then it has been one of my favorites. Now I speak English. I understand the lyrics, it's quite a romantic song. Whenever I listen to it I go back to that moment.
What a good memories! I've just listened this song for the first time today, 50 years after you did it. It's a beautiful song! Saludos de parte de otro regio de corazón!
Remember XEG, the radio station from Monterey? It reached well into Texas.
And the slogan XEG La Ranchera de Monterrey, yeah. Good station! Regards. 😊
Great! Saludos amigo.
I do remember BRITTANY MURPHY...I do mis her every day 😢😢😢😢😢
What an amazing lady. She was beautiful, and she sang beautifully. 💜
I first heard this song 1963 I was 16 what's not to love here
This song bring 1970 back to days was simpler
Super! Evergreen! Knappe compositie! Knappe song! Knappe performance! Super!
This song always make me cry, so beautiful, ty so much Mrs Skeeter Davis
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 any more 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, "Good-bye" Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm (Why do these eyes of mine cry?) Mmm, mmm, mmm Don't they know it's the end of the world? It ended when you said, "Good-bye"
I've often wondered why the author chose "glow above" rather than shine above in verse six, "Why do the stars glow above?" My guess is "shine" when sung into a microphone sounds harsher than does glow. Anyone else have a theory?
@@AVB2 I believe that it was to not be redundant, since “shining” was used in reference to the sun in the very first line of the song.
This is a sad but beautiful song but brings awesome memories. Love it.
Hello Cheryl How are you doing today?
I was in 7th grade when this song was released and I loved it. Fifty years later, my mother passed away; this song came on the radio and I listened and sobbed to this song.
When we cry in grief it means we loved the lost one. Memories are made of this. Try to remember all the good times. Memories are immortal.
Beautiful song,puts tears in my eyes.
Probably the saddest song ever written,
One of the most distinctive voices in music. I have always enjoyed Skeeter singing, and this is a most lovely song...thrilling her fans for decades. Thanks for posting!
There will never be another Skeeter Davis in our time. She was simple, unique and so good in the art. Her songs were and still golden till now, so it remains.
Thank God. I found this song again after 20 years from first time I hear
one of the greatest songs of all time.
I got to shake her hand in 1963 age 3 but I was so young I didnt realize who she was until much later.
I am so sorry to hear and feel your pain about losing your wife, but with this song and your prayers should help you shed once less tear.
Nothing but love,...
1963 was the year----------I was a junior in HS, 2nd semester , 16 y/o. -----------classic music from a better time in our country. ----------------------------MJL< 75 y/o
Very touching. Losing someone dear and loved, at any age, any time, any place, is heart wrenchingly painful and I thought extremely cruel! I often thought I'd rather to have "lost myself" than to lose a loved one, so that I don't feel the pain of loss!.
Such a pure voice filled with feeling. When most music was something much more than just words
You are so right...
Much better vocals than the original back in 1963!
One if the most beautiful songs ever.
Could be the greatest sad song ever.
When someone you love dies it feels like the end of your world, eventually we heal but we never stop loving them.
It's been years since I heard this song.
I just like this song got no sob story maybe one day
Such a simple song and so very beautiful. Sung with kindness though albeit in a reflective mood of sadness for a love lost. Though it was a country song it became a huge 'crossover' hit by topping the pop charts as well. No one sang it like Skeeter Davis!
When my son died I played this a lot. It seem appropriate.
i hope youre okay
Dedicated 2 my family hubby mama daddy sister bro n law grandmother aunts sis n law bro n law 😂 blessed and grateful for u all . Missed by your family . ❤
This is the only 1 of few songs I play on piano and I am 77 yrs old
ds song remimnds me when im still 8 yrs now im 70 yrs
And that was Skeeter Davis bless her soul :(
Aweeeee what a precious memory by Skeeter Davis...
I Got choked up the minute She Began Singing... Its like We all know We are gonna Cry but It also Feels Good becuz Our (Stuffed way Down) Emotions/Feelings can be set Free... ❤To Everyone... Wish I could Dry Àll of Yalls tears along with My Own...😢😢 😢...
I PLAYED THIS SONG OVER AND OVER AGAIN WHEN MY GIRLFRIEND AND I BROKE UP WHEN I WAS 16, I THOUGHT IT WAS THE END OF THE WORLD, I FOUND OUT LATER THAT IT WASN'T BUT IT SEEMED LIKE IT AT THE TIME, KNOW WHAT I MEAN DON'T YOU!
yes....
@@Quartzsite-0901 Been there, done it, have the t shirt yes I most certainly know how you felt.
yes of coarse when we are younger things like that are just so important and can hurt like hell, but life goes on and we can see that when we look back and remember the past.
@@brucewayne7838 WE can remember all the good times, you really never stop loving the people in our lives, we will never forget them.
I would imagine most men would. It happens but if you are lucky ( I was) someone else turns up who is faithful and wonderful . I have been married to her for 49 years now but I love that song.
No one has come close to this ! Many have tried. Just utterly stunning.
Many Memories of those I have lost and loved and the events still keep coming. Glad i got in to utube and so much music I love and some first heard.
We lived, and loved and learned my treat for you thanks for listening to my heart felt music 😎
This song just makes so much sense! How many of us regret our first loves and wonder why we didn't hang on to them?
I'll have to listen a rave tune after this, I lost my beautiful wife 10 years ago and such beautiful song it is it brings a tear to my eyes
