Noah Cyrus, an American singer-songwriter that has had recent hits such as "July" and "Make Me (Cry)" has released a new song entitled "The End of Everything." I have been listening to Noah Cyrus' music since her days voicing the main character in the children's movie "Ponyo," with the fabulously catchy "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea," which would be stuck in my head for days.

"The End of Everything," however, takes on a darker subject matter of the Earth's future. She based the lyrics of the song on a time-lapse of the future video created by John Boswell, also known as Melodysheep. While he is not a scientist, his career as a music producer and filmmaker involves transforming the voices of scientists and scientific concepts into catchy music videos or enthralling short films detailing the wonders of the universe.
His goal is to communicate science in a way that will attract a modern audience that has grown up watching YouTube.
The original video from the Melodysheep YouTube channel currently sits at almost 35 million views and was made with support from Protocol Labs. The information from this video comes mainly from media sources such as episodes of documentary series and interviews from scientists, according to Bowell's website,
When creating "The End of Everything," Noah Cyrus teamed up with PJ Harding to write a song based on the visuals of Boswell's "Time Lapse of the Future." It features captivating but dark lyrics such as, "Everyone you love is going to die" and "Everything you fear is going to end."
My favorite part about this song, however, is how the lyrics match up with the visuals. As the viewer watches Saturn lose its rings in the video, Cyrus incorporates this into the lyrics of the song.
While this may not be the pop bop of the summer, "The End of Everything" has a theme revolving around letting you remember that time is precious and to treasure every moment... as in nine thousand trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion (yes, that's eight trillions) years, the last black hole will evaporate and time will become meaningless.
