I've been thinking of songs, books, movies etc relating to the end of the world or the apocalypse etc. Don't know why. Is there not anything else happening in the world apart from the COVID 19 pandemic!!??

So to start the list:

REM - The End Of The World As We Know It
Barry McGuire - Eve of Destruction
Mental As Anything - Apocalypso
Timbuk 3 - The Future's So Bright

or even
the now deceased Kenny Rogers - The Gambler

"You've got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when to walk away and know when to run"

Then of course there are movies and/or books like Pratchett & Gaiman's Good Omens (with a happy ending), Margaret Atwood's books like the MaddAdam series or The Heart Goes Last, John Crowley's book Engine Summer.

And then we have all those apocalyptic movies designed to send us into a death spiral of horror and fear. I have to admit I don't watch those so I'm relying on other people to list them, if you want.

Uplifting songs etc would be very nice.

Some spirituals about being raised up to heaven, for example.

Basically anything you can think of which is relevant to the world as it is right now in the throes of this pandemic, or as it will be or even as it should be, like being a strong community and working together to overcome hardship.
