Great Song

This song was played in Fallout 4 - so getting music from the game wouldn't be complete without this older favorite. It's a good quality song that mattered to people for a few decades now. Greatly enjoyed.

Country/rock classic

When Skeeter Davis, a country singer once married to Ralph Edwards, recorded "The End of the World" in the early '60s, I'm sure she never envisioned its various incarnations. Be careful as to which version of her song you choose; it's not a question of live vs. studio. There are different studio versions of the song! And while they are all hauntingly beautiful, the one that played on AM radio is just a little bit better (I think that this is the 99 cent version). I read somewhere that she had decided in the 80's not to perform this song again, but I took my children to the Grand Ole Opry matinee in the mid 90's and she was there, and she sang "The End of the World", and she broke my heart with her beautiful voice.
This song was also covered by Expose'; their version is very different, but still quite good.

Something was lacking

The quality of her voice sounded immature, the notes of the music were thin and it seemed sometimes to be a little off key. I am not a music expert by any means, but I could tell the difference between this version and The End of World (remastered) it was like night and day. The remastered version is richer, notes have more depth and Ms Davis' voice sounds like a professional and not a teenager singing into a karaoke mike.

Either you like it or you don't

I'm not sure reviewing an old recorded song makes much sense. Either you like it or you don't, and if you've even heard it, you probably made up your mind a long time ago. Ms. Davis' The End Of The World moved me the first time I heard it many years ago. It still does.

One of My Favorite Oldies

Nobody can sing this song like Skeeter Davis. It has always been one of my favorites. I like the option of choosing the songs I want and not having to buy the entire album. I am glad I purchased it.
