[@silvansantoscosta4317]

I like this version too

[@truebuilder7942]

Anybody know the lead guitarist's name? Those solos are ineffable, amazing, make me want to find more of his work, of his magic. And the bass guitarist, Hagar Ben Ari, amazing too but with the added element of being simultaneously Cool (the shades) and Hot -- perhaps _The Venus of the Cool_ (with a nod to Miles Davis).

[@hyounggeunjin1285]

The most beautiful 80's song. In my opinion.

This is a timeless classic that brings back many memories for me. I like that this cover retains the nostalgia of the original yet giving it a more modern tone which just adds to the listening pleasure of this classic. Well done and another one to add to my music list!

Being something of a guidepost in my transition from a boy to a young man in the 80s, this song holds a very special place in my heart and in my life. You have done it justice and also made an old man happy. Thank you, because as you know "nothing ever lasts forever".

[@Bravo21]

You just took me back 35yrs, thank you :) For a few minutes there I was back to a sunday morning in 1985 with the sun shining, me and my wife in our new MR2 with the sunroof out, windows open and playing this in the cassette deck as we drive to Napa valley for lunch at the Mustard grill.

[@legendre007]

"Everybody Wants to Rule the World" is a classic, and I'm happy to hear it covered by _Pompalmoose_ : a combination of favorites. 😊

One of my favourite songs, exactly because of it's understated depth and meaningfulness. Most people never realize. Thanks for noticing and making it known.

THIS YOUNG WOMAN HAS A VERY PARTICULAR VOICE. A BEAUTIFUL BUT STRANGE VOICE. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS THE RESULT OF AUTO TUNE OR pure talent!

Brian is a subtle guitarist that is the lynchpin in he sound of this song. It's not obvious but it is essential.... THAT is a rhythm guitarist. On Point. Kudos my man.

It has been a long time since a band has the ability to put a smile on my face, thank for the music, I feel like that age before you learn how cruel the world is, this is such a nice break and so much talent in one room, just priceless.

[@Crewelperleology]

I've never hit like so quickly, let alone on a cover! Laid back, airy sweet vocals and that guitar motif that floats and sings right in the groove. Ah... A perfect ending to this night.

[@nightwing1176]

The best cover

[@jurzeejozee41]

I never, never, ever thought I’d like a cover of this song, which, by the way, I’ve been either playing or singing to myself more than any other song ever since the original came out, but, I should have known Pomplamoose would not only prove me wrong, but just blow my mind! This is wonderful !

[@TJamas]

Jack's "I love this shit" stank faces bring joy and smiles. Nataly' voice bring dreams and awe. And this cover just brought me tears!

[@chrissavage5966]

The original always tears me up as I love the song, but it brings back the most painful memories & emotions from my younger days too. This version does the same...but is a fraction less painful and much more melodic. Thank you @Pomplamoose

[@gamby16a]

There are some songs that are so perfect, it's hard to alter the arrangement. You tweaked it a bit (ever so tastefully), but left most of the bones in place. Still put your flavor into it so nicely. This one is radio ready. I'd think Sirius Spectrum would put it into rotation today. Brilliant cover--every facet of it is just wonderful.
