This song always gets me teary eyed!
It was very fitting of Mr. Carbonara to use this as the score to the credits.

Also the second time it's been used where Elisabeth Moss has acted. It was used in a heartwrenching scene of "Girl Interrupted".

PaulLev, that song reminds me of when I was at Rainbow beach in Chicago in the fab 60s. Looking north along the shore I could see the bldgs downtown,at night with all my friends. What a era.Now I'm getting sentimental....

That was the version by Skeeter Davis, right?

Sounded like it....so moving.

I,too, have always loved that song.

Skeeter Davis wrote it to express what she was feeling about the death of her close friend and mentor, Patsy Cline, who was killed March 5, 1963 in a private plane crash. An exquisite song....

PaulLev: The song was not written by Skeeter Davis (and had nothing to do with Cline's demise), but by Arthur Kent and Sylvia Lee, I believe, earlier than the date of Cline's death in March of 1963.

Make that Sylvia Dee above, not Sylvia Lee. Typo. Anyway, the song, End of the World was written by Kent and Dee (see my comment above), NOT Skeeter Davis. She merely sang the song.

Sorry, having so much trouble with this site and tried to add this in my last posting. I wanted to add that the song End of the World was recorded by SK in 1962 (and released the same year), so it obviously had nothing at all to do with the death of singer Patsy Cline in March of 1963 in an airplane crash in Tennessee.

Technical glitch (studio feedback at 1:34) notwithstanding,
Skeeter Davis hit #1 in February, 1963, with "End of the World," brilliantly used under the closing credits of last night's episode.

"End of the World" echoes a sense of foreboding in the country in the aftermath of Kennedy's assassination and the lyric "...you don't love me anymore" hits a bullseye as the Draper's marriage crumbles.

Perfect.
