My Grey World

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?

Skeeter Davis, The End Of The World

No, no. This isn’t a post about global-warming-is-going-to-make-the-ice-melting-and-it-will-drown-us-all or be-aware-because-the-end-is-near or the ridiculous the-end-is-near-so-let’s-kill-ourselves.

But anyway, yesterday felt like the end of the world because of that ridiculously hard OOAD (Object Oriented Application Development) test. I think I’ve hated Java since then.

Anyway, about the lyrics on the beginning of the post…

This is a beautiful song by Skeeter Davis, The End Of The World. Even though in the video clip she stood like a robot and her make up and hair do made her look like a transvestite, won’t you agree that she sang beautifully?

It’s a special song to me.

Well, not because of the lyrics…

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 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’m certainly not that desperate.

My mother said, when I was still small, I frequently cried, just like any other little children.
But not really ordinary.
I would stop crying… When my mother played songs. Any song. I would suddenly stop crying and keep quiet.
Especially for this song. The End Of The World.

Mom said that I “have a great taste of music since small”. Ha ha.

Oh and my second favourite song?

Can’t Help Falling In Love by Elvis Presley.

Wise men say only fools rush in
But I cant help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I cant help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I cant help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I cant help falling in love with you
For I cant help falling in love with you

Any childhood song, dearies?
