1. Mud was a British rock band, heavily influenced by 1950s rock and roll, but moving beyond it into mainstream rock.
The members were Les Gray, Rob Davis, Ray Stiles, and Dave Mount. They had fifteen hits in the U.K., including three number ones. More recently Rob Davis has written numerous successful songs for newer artists, including U.K. number ones for Kylie Minogue and Spiller.
2. Mud is also the name of a dark ambient project, a collaboration between Steve Hall of Yen Pox and Traig Foltz of Used.
3. Originally from the island of Guam. In 2001, the San Francisco music scene began to resonate a little louder with the induction of indie newcomer MUD. Describing their sound as, “A blending of punk’s energy and the edge of metal,” their raw guitar riffs, heavy bass grooves and depth in song writing have since drawn comparisons to successful crossover bands like Jawbreaker, NOFX, Letters to Cleo, Green Day and The Foo Fighters.
Over the years, MUD has become a frequent fixture at Bay Area landmark venues such as Slim’s, Bottom of the Hill and The Warfield. MUD has since expanded their resume to include the 2006 Van’s Warped Tour, headlining SF’s Live 105 Official Warped Tour After Party , opening for national touring acts such as The Matches (Epitaph), April Sixth(Elektra), The Forces of Evil (members of Reel Big Fish) and Camp Freddy (Slash,Duff McKagan,Scott Weiland,Billy Morrison,Matt Sorum) as part of the Recording Academy's Tribute to SF Music Past and Future,featuring guest artist Steve Jones,Joe Satriani,Lars Ulrich,Robert Trujilo,Mike Bordin,Jeremy Colson,Chester Bennington,Mark McGrath and Stephen Jenkins . Tracks from MUD’s current CD, "Where is Tomorrow", have received domestic and international airplay on such popular stations as LIVE 105, KALX 90.7 and THE ROCK 105.1 FM. Recently signed to San Francisco indie label Talking House Records, MUD is currently working on material for an expected release in 2007.
End Of The World
MUD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't know it's the end of the world
Cos you don't love me anymore?
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no I can't understand how life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
(sung): It ended when you said goodbye
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no I can't understand how life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye
Oh don't, don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye
The lyrics of MUD's song "End of the World" express the feeling of heartbreak and loss. The singer is asking why everything seems normal when their world has come crashing down. Why does the sun still shine and the sea still exist when the person they loved is no longer with them? The singer cannot understand how life continues when their heart has been shattered. They question why their heart still beats and why they shed tears when the person they loved has said goodbye. The repeated refrain of "Don't they know it's the end of the world," highlights the feeling of devastation and hopelessness that comes with heartbreak.
The song was released by MUD in 1974 and was written by band members Rob Davis and Wayne Bickerton. It was a top ten hit in the UK and was also later covered by other artists, including Skeeter Davis and Herman’s Hermits. The song was popular in the 1970s and became a classic love song, often played at weddings and romantic occasions.
