Pet Shop Boys — The End of the World

The story behind

The Pet Shop Boys recorded "The End of the World" in 1990 as part of their album *Behaviour*. The song was taken from an album that didn't have the commercial impact they had hoped for, but which received good reviews. The track has a structure that shifts between dark and melodic elements, with a synth-driven sound that isn't typical of their discography. The lyrics speak of a world falling apart, as if it were a house crumbling to pieces. The video shows Neil in a house that is being destroyed, and in the end, everything is rebuilt. It’s a song that feels like a moment of farewell, but also of hope. It runs four minutes and forty-three seconds and remains popular on platforms like Last.fm. ↓ Skip to chords

Did you know
The Cure released "The End of the World" as their 35th single, the first from their 2004 self-titled album. The song came out before the album, as a sort of preview. It was a way of giving a taste of what was to come. The song has a slow tempo, as if it were reflecting on what happened before. The lyrics speak of a world coming to an end, but not in a dramatic sense, rather as something that is already underway. It’s a song that feels more like a reflection than a typical rock song.
