The World Is Ending – Brent Cobb

Brent Cobb is one of the most under appreciated country artists out today, and one of my favorite “chill” country guys to listen to. This song in particular, “The World Is Ending” has a tinge of psychedelicness to it, which is almost reminiscent of the legendary and righteous Sturgill Simpson. The album this one comes off of, Keep ’em On They Toes is a great listen as well.

They say the world is ending again
Everyone’s busy defending their sins
I’m just sitting here pickin’ out a ditty

I love the sentiment of this song, I think capturing a lot of folks attitudes about a lot of goings ons in the current day to day. Dave’s laid back picking and unbothered attitude really help to drive the point across. I believe this song was born out of Covid, but it really remains applicable and relevant today. And probably will continue to be for the foreseeable future.
