Saved from separation from God forever. (Literally anyone who calls on the name of the Lord (Jesus Christ) will be saved. ![]() Then all who remain shall be caught up with Him in the clouds.” This means that everyone who puts their faith (trust) in Jesus Christ will be saved when the end comes-and it will come. I have known the chorus since 1987 when it was a big hit!! ( Ironically that was the year I got married! LOL.Happy, sad, fun, challenging 32 year long exciting rollercoaster ride!!!) When I could not remember the verses, my adult daughter and I looked up the lyrics: it was eerily prophetic! The writer has several biblical allusions and although The Rapture is not actually referred to as such in the Bible, the song seems to be referring to the time when “.the trump of the archangel shall sound, and the dead in Christ wii rise first. Sandy from KansasI have also loved this song, but since this pandemic hit in mid-March, it plays in my head incessantly.I sat at the bar, played the song, unplugged and with no power, went home unpaid. When I got there they were serving beers from a cooler under candlelight. The code inspector had been there that day to find the entire bar was running on one extension cord from the marina warehouse right next to it. The venue was a Tiki Bar built in the parking lot of a marina, it's was still a new place, beautiful tiki bar, I'd played there several times already. Harvey from FloridaI memorized this song for a gig on December 21st, 2012.from Seattle, WaYeah, some of the lyrics have been going through my head since the lockdown started. But now that I'm reading up on the group and the meaning of the song I really like it and I'm going to keep learning about the band. Christy from MaineI've always liked this song. ![]() ![]() He is also consistent with REM's penchant for decorated activists.Ĭonversely, I can't make sense of the published lyric (not that I can make sense of all REM lyrics). He had ended communist rule as President of Poland when the song recharted. He had won the Nobel Peace Prize a few years earlier and was a rising liberal star in Europe. Walesa was very popular when the song first charted. Mentioning Lech Walesa seemed consistent with one of the song's thematic devices-naming individuals famous for their daring. I always thought they said: "Lech Walesa coming in a hurry". Spamwich from UsaDid REM validate this lyric: "Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry"?.Chris Clancy from Nagano, JapanI wonder if the digits in the Mayan doomsday prophecy weren’t incorrectly transcribed.Kev from Humboldt CountyAs I read the book "The End of the World is Just the Beginning" by Peter Zeihan, the lyrics of this song "It's the End of the World As We Know It" keep haunting me.Most of it was people making suggestions, like 'Oh, yeah, this would be cool.'" He just wanted to get me in front of the camera, and then focus on images. He recalled: "The only thing in the beginning that I was really made aware of was that Jim had seen some kind of TV special on dream therapy, and there was a child who had lost a brother in Vietnam who kept having a dream where he was holding his brother's picture in an old house." He continued: "He'd give me guidelines, like telling me to rifle through stuff - not like a director in a movie sense. It just made it rough."įilming the video wasn't too bad, though. "Popular kids don't like to lose their popularity, especially to white trashy kids. "I was a poor white trash kid in high school, and all of a sudden, I had more popularity than the popular kids," he said in an interview for a making-of-the-video documentary. While the experience would seem like a dream come true for any teenager, the fallout from appearing in the video was a nightmare for Ray. The music video, directed by James Herbert, follows a young boy (Noah Ray) scavenging in a decrepit farmhouse. ![]()
