Monday Music: The End?
No, not the end of Monday Music. That would be crazy…
When ships left their ports early on in human seafaring, onlookers watched in horror as the boats seemed to sink and disappear due to the curvature of the earth blocking out the spectator’s line of sight. This lead many to believe that the ships had fallen off the edge of the world.

Well, maybe not all of us. There is still a flat Earth society, but I won’t go down that rabbit hole except to say that one of the four corners of the Earth is in Canada:
That bump is Brimstone Head on Fogo island off the coast of Newfoundland. And if you think it’s just a joke, why would there be a warning sign?

Endings take different forms and some endings just mean there’s a new beginning on the horizon. Here’s a song about the end of a relationship.
This next song was co-written by some of the members of the Canadian band Alvvays who I featured a few weeks ago.
Jonathan Percy Starker “JP” Saxe is a Canadian singer and musician. He is best known for this collaboration with American singer Julia Michaels titled “If the World Was Ending”.
