IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD (AS WE KNOW IT) LYRIC VIDEO

Vocal recording of "It's the End of the World (as We Know it)" as by REM.
Vocals by Ted Agee of A Nation Falls.
I did not write this song.

I remember they played this on the radio on Dec 21 2012, it was perfect.

[@SaraElizz00]

My name is Ella Hale and I was born on 2012

[@angelinarobert622]

Oh it's such a perfect day. I'm glad I spent it with you. - Lou Reed. Just a song Quote. I fed animals in the park and then home, why didn't he go to zoo. It rhymed with you. What ever. Just staying home and chilling, the wife has me lockdown. So I live and don't get Corona Virus. Don't get Covid19 after touching anything. Wipe it down with 100 percent Alcohol sanitizer wipes. Fun fact. Public toilets are the easiest way to get it. And people are at their most contagious when they are at their least symptomatic. Stay safe.

[@kaeoam5882]

This song is surprisingly very accurate with everything happening now. REM knows people...

[@jaydenrise7186]

I totally remember 12/21/12 I was 13 years old and it was my last school day before break and this came on the radio on the bus and we blasted it and I sang it word by word to everyone and everyone loved it! That was the first time I ever sang in public

[@awesomeguysinc.852]

So you're 15? Kay. This was put on during Band that day. I was singing along.

LUV THAT SONG

[@robsanchez5742]

In 1987 I was working for the US Navy in Hawaii when a friend introduced me to REM. At the Pink Cadillac Club it was played at least twice a night and everyone went crazy! But back home I could not get the radio stations to play them!

[@chrisclark3020]

this song+fallout= perfection

[@ChefSunny360]

This song will never get old. I play it anytime anyone starts talking about anything negative. Its actually super funny. I play it all of a sudden out of the blue , and all of a sudden everyone forgets what they were bitching about. Lol 😂

[@christophercoulter3217]

Yup, ah the 90's.

[@juggos205622]

This song is such a great example of disconnected topic and feel. It's so crazy that it's upbeat and about the end. ^_^

[@awesomeguysinc.852]

Nowadays 12/21/12 seems idiotic. We actually that the world was gonna end... I didn't but I feared that it might.

[@frankmartinez3020]

This came out in November 1987 , when I turned 17. And the world didn't seem to be ending,so I didn't get it. Now 33 yrs later the song totally fits these times. 🔥🌎🔥 🙏

You say this is 2014 why?

[@Dan76135]

Nicholas Serrano Because there could still be people who think there was something to 2012 and I wanted to put some advice out there so that at least some of them will get on with their lives.

[@nicholasserrano193]

***** If they were in denial then, then they still wouldnt be over it

[@Dan76135]

Nicholas Serrano I was one of those people and after i saw the world still standing after the 21st I realized it was just bull. These apocalypse dates are nothing more than balogne as far as i'm concerned.

[@nicholasserrano193]

***** Exactly, you saw it was bull the day after, the people who would still be in denial of it today (which I doubt there are many) if they doubted it that strongly, that somehow 2012 (3 years ago) can still be connected to 2015, they are clearly not going to give up that easily so this comment really was not doing anything

[@Sillimant_]

You child

[@stephan2wolf]

most important is the addendum: "as we know it". Because all known apocalypses aren't talking of a destruction or an end of the world but only of an end of misery. Today, hollywood films are dominating human notions from the apocalypse where the whole world gets destroyed or humans get enslaved by aliens. But the apocalypses aren't talking of a final destruction but of a new beginning, the story goes on after the relatively short time of catastrophies and worsening of evil. Today, all signs of the great turn in human destiny become visible, so it will be soon. The worsening is already taking place, soon the world will fall to the righteous and just ones. That means peace, rest and an end of all conflicts and crises. The Lord has promised that to mankind and he holds his promises. Until now, all predictions in Bible and Quran have come true and so will the ones about the empire of peace.
