Everybody Wants to Rule the World - Tears for Fears (Metal cover by Jonathan Young)

[@rikiishitoru8885]

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 forever Everybody wants to rule the world There's a room where the light 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 world 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 forever Everybody wants to rule the world

Honestly I really wanna see Jonathan try to remake/cover his own song, "If This Ship Sinks" using the skills he has gained over the years. Its my favorite song by him and it would be really cool to see him look back at all his older songs! Just some food for thought :) great cover as always! Keep up the good work!

[@Hyperdragon97]

I loved that song! It still makes me sad that he took it down.

Song Ideas: When You’re Evil - Voltaire (fits the nostalgic vibe of your metal villain days), Therefore I Am - Billie Eilish (lyrics would shine in metal), When Doves Cry - Prince (full of frustration and some primal moments), Hysteria - Muse (lyrics would shine in metal)

When I was a kid, for the longest time, I absolutely HATED music, just in general.

I am honestly shocked I didn't find this when it first dropped. Having said all that, I wanna see Jonathon try covering some Modern Talking songs. "Who Will Save The World" and "Cheri Cheri Lady" are both really good.
