2/19/2023 0 Comments End of the world tonight![]() ![]() It took a pandemic for me to come to terms with the fact that every song by my favorite band is actually about the end of the world. This might seem like a song about partying it up, which it is, but listen a bit closer to Ne-Yo: “For all we know, we might not get tomorrow / Let’s do it tonight.” An anthem to living day by day. ![]() Afrojack, Ne-Yo and Nayer, “Give Me Everything” Look at the lyrics of this one, and you’ll see that it’s about an end-of-the-world play-pretend scenario: “Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young” (emphasis mine). And if we danced our way through Y2K, we can dance our way through this! ![]() The song kicks off a whole album about a hypothetical apocalypse, then 17 years out from when Prince released it in 1982. It’s a song about sex masquerading as a song about the end of the world, so all I have to say is: Do not grab a boy, nor a girl, unless they’re already in isolation with you. Justin Timberlake and Timbaland, “4 Minutes” Here’s to hoping this pandemic is over in less time. The most beautiful song about a long, drawn out apocalypse is also the opening track to Bowie’s masterful concept album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars. Upon closer look at the translated lyrics, it’s actually about … the chaos and worry of the Cold War. If you, like me, do not speak German, this might seem like an innocuous bop. That is indeed all that this song is about, but there’s also a bangin’ remix with Nicki Minaj and Kesha - together, they’re the three horsewomen of the apocalypse. What will you be doing when the world ends? Dancing, Britney hopes. ![]()
