Story behind the song
80s song about control , power and corruption. nothings changed today ! I just love the song so recorded it . Still on the journey of improving my synth/ keyboard skills .
Lyrics
Welcome to your life There's no turning back even while we sleep we will find you Acting on your best behaviour turn your back on mother nature Everybody wants to rule the world It's my own design it's my own remorse help me to decide help me make the most of freedom and of pleasure nothing ever lasts for ever everybody wants to rule the world There's a room where the lights won't find you holding hands while the walls come tumbling down when they do i'll be right behind you so glad we've almost made it so sad they had to fade it everybody wants to rule the world I can't stand this indecision married with a lack of vision everybody wants to rule the say that you'll never never never never need it one headline why believe it everybody wants to rule the world All for freedom and for pleasure nothing ever lasts for ever everybody wants to rule the world

Fantastic job Stevo! I was (still am) a massive Tears fan - this was one of their greatest and you have done it more than justice. It’s a powerful tune but it has a lot of subtleties - a lot of important space which a lesser musician would be tempted to fill but which make the tune. Excellent version I enjoyed this a lot.

I agree with rodz very hard to duplicate this sound. But you had no fears and not sure you shed any tears doing it. Very impressive cover. A trip back to the 80s which I have to admit tuning out most music that decade. lol. You nailed this perfectly.

Brilliant cover on every level. So impressed by the way you've captured the tones & synth work, and the way your vocals cut through the mix - perfect job on the production & instrumentation! This is the kind of song that could be a nightmare to reproduce, but you've done an amazing job!
