Everybody Wants to Rule the World | Playing For Change Foundation x Young Musicians Unite

[@peternorthe1912]

Those lyrics were so innocent sounding back in 1985. Almost 40 years later the world as we know it has become a macabre, dystopian existence with rulers that stretch the definition of what is "human".

[@inkd42088]

No the fuck they weren't. 1985 was the height of the cold war.

[@Hugh_Jas]

I don't know about that. Watergate and 'Nam were only a decade prior. The world has always been like this, the only difference is how much more accessible all of that is via the internet.

[@SaveGaza44]

​@@Hugh_Jas oh, it's very much worse.

[@inkd42088]

@SaveGaza44 no it's not 😂🤡

[@janejohnson8143]

This song message was very relevant before and during 1985 . Now they’ even more dangerously poignant today! 😮 please wake up everyone.. it’s time for a peaceful revolution!! Imagine✌️& All you need is❤

[@retiefbd]

Simply amazing, this is what Music does for the world, a truly uniting power. Thank you all.

Except where is the Gaza source, or a source from Russia, or the Donbass, or from China, or Syria or Lebanon or Iran? Guess what? They're not allowing any in. They applied.

[@elhoward7440]

Yes, somebody put a lot of working into arranging the music and coordinating all these wonderful musicians and dancers! I don't think these beautiful experiences happen by accident.

[@TaffmanGuyo]

Lovely rendition of a super song - I enjoyed the Prog Rock part just after half way through. X

[@brunemilia]

Fantastic!!! Congratulations everyone!! 🙌🏽 So many incredible people evolving this amazing project! 💖 Very proud seeing Valentina Marie part of this team too! 🇧🇷🇺🇸🌎💖

[@kodowdus]

I've always felt that this song had close ties to the polyrhythmic traditions of folkloric music on the Gold Coast (where music is made with instruments like gonkogi and donno). Wish we could have heard the African musical component more prominently.

[@davewayton]

What an awesome collaboration! Who did the musical arrangement? It is fantastic!! My sons and I [I’m 73] just went to a “Chicago” concert that was great; and this is every bit as good. I can imagine “Chicago” sitting in and playing on stage with these young musicians and feeling ecstatic. Wonderful job! DO MORE!

[@roberthanford1388]

✌️ to all.

[@SaveGaza44]

Omg...this is beautiful!❤

[@jimii2294]

[@kidmohair8151]

it never fails. every time i watch one of these, the happy tears it brings to my eyes, can wash away, if only for a few moments, the doom mongering we are all immersed in. thanks PFC! ps: kudos to the arranger(s).

[@elhoward7440]

There is a leasson here, that very beautiful experiences can happen when diverse people work together towards a common goal while each contributing the flavor of their own very different experiences. Yes, it does make me wonder why more things can't be like this. Diversity is a survival factor. Diversity makes life more exciting. Why do some people hate diversity?

[@kidmohair8151]

@@elhoward7440 in my opinion, they don't. in this world, they have been propagandized to believe that "others" are the root of all their problems.

[@danyellerobinson5940]

Great collaboration, great video🙂Everybody wants to rule the world?🙂Maybe not everybody, I don't think, though what cannot be in doubt, I don't think, is that everybody wants a much better world than the one in live in, everybody wants change, real change🙂Regards, Michael M.

私の10代の息子もどこかで知ってお気に入りな一曲！ポジティブな脈動するエネルギーが気持ちいい🎉

[@elevatedplanet3560]

Love this.. It will be on Elevated Planet's next newsletter which talks of the old "top down" leaders who are soon to be exiting 'stage left'.. (kicking & screaming).. They will no longer rule the world.. It comes back to "We the People".. Maybe ask Tears for Fears to write that song too?? 🤣

[@y.u.208]

🙏🌸🍃🪶🎶🪶🍃🌸🙏🧡🙏 another beautiful one, thank you, ase, dankon 🙏 JahBuddEngri, WakanTanka, all that is, see, for peace, love, harmony, I see many souls unite. Bliss & protect them with your wings, for Mother Earth we pull the loving strings. They as well, they lifted me up, they gave strength, when darkness soaked me into its deepest length. When individuals decide that it's none that rules , that only Mother Earth & Highest Lord should sit on that too heavy burdened stool. 🙏, maybe then there's a chance to get rid off that evlish fools. Gratitude Playing for Change, may consciousness of UNITY spread its range. One Love, One Heart, One World, One People, We are all Equal! 🙏💚🙏 🙏☀️🌏👑El Cantare👑🌏☀️🙏, please take over🙏☀️🙏 or Mother Earth, Gaia, Mu, .. no human hand should do 🙏🪶😡🪶🙏. But if that's the game, not to be changed, what can I (y.u.) say🤔, only: "the world is mine, Evelite, get outta my way👊🥷👊"✌. Ooooooor: "I am the world, I rule myself, before I fall in evlish hands, I rather give death a chance. Death shall bring me back to Mother, there is no other 🧡🌏🧡." El Cantare, sorry, found you too late, such as Manitou or Tengri, please don't get angry 🙏😔🙏. Born & raised in Babylon, no Earthling God could meet what I , as female, was longing for. Respect all Lords and Lordesses or better "Divine", too long the fight for what is mine. Not even yet in physical realm, at least I found soirituality, who teaches me to stay calm. Wakan Tanka, a Native Higher or Inner Circle, with entities of Nature, that's where I feel my (re-) birth is 🙏🍃🪶🍃🙏. With so many Lords, Entities and philosophies, how shall I as simple human know what my true origin is?? Never mind, I think I have found a way, JahBuddEngri, comforted my stormiest days. As Mother Earth from all sides I felt rejected, I came up with (New) Lord of Trinity: Jah, Buddha, Tengri, please reflect it 🙏. So JahBuddEngri, a new Lord, helping me to cut my draining cords. As female, I was never supposed to have a chance, in a world where man commands. Looking at the world today, it definitely became a place where I not wish to stay. If Pedofilia, Transhumanism, Extinction,.. is what God, Gott, Dios, Dieu, Allah, Elohim or any other Monotheism wishes, don't wonder if I search somewhere else for my peace & blisses. Don't mob now nor feel disrespected, I think evlish men took over and turned/ misused above mentioned ones to ensure their wealth, through technology they perfected. Too many innocent good souls in misery & poverty, doubt that any Lord wanted that to be. Devil is neutral but has its part & power, what if human manipulated to bring endless blasphemic shower?? Well I don't know or unsure, just seeing that somethings working, to clear the digital fog. Met now so many more, Neptun, Poseidon, Odin, Frigg, Iris, Osiris, Erzulie, Ogun, Thoth, Montu, Diana, Artemis,... an endless list.. We all have our part to play, so it is said, I just long for Mother & a peaceful bed. A Lord that doesn't respect Mother, is just a half, JahBuddEngri, please help us all not to starve 🙏🍃🪶🍃🙏 Wakan Tanka, El Cantare, Karma, all that is,.. thank you for confirming and accepting, I deeply hope JahBuddEngri will be a Universal bliss, for peace, love, unity, I send my most grateful, truthful kiss 🙏🧡😽🧡🙏

[@elhoward7440]

I think you are just reminding us that the basic truth at the heart of all religions is that we MUST love one another, no matter how different we are! Peace, love, and respect to you, my friend!

[@y.u.208]

@elhoward7440 🙏🌸🧡🌸🙏 gratitude to you & your words unknown friend, uplifting that someone somehow my words understands. Guess I am writing so long and much, as I am somehow on awakening/ manifestation path. If I write/ outspeak, things becoming clearer to me, but yes indeed, truth, peace, love & more unity, is what I wish & seek, therefore must stand strong against the excessive greed😉. Friend, be safe, sound, loved & protected, our support to 'Playing for change' let's make it 🙏🌸🪶🌠🪶🌸🙏
