Lorde - Everybody Wants to Rule the World

[@fredmorgan996]

Listen. I'm also 62 yr old (old). I've lived through the original. It's a great song! For someone to take a song, use the imagination, creativity and "yes" have some balls to make a cover their own song shows real talent. BOTH VERSIONS ARE GREAT!

[@alecyma]

So true

[@dierdriu]

I agree!

[@randomguestobserving6071]

@Interrupting Coward, right ?

[@kellydawson2988]

Tears for Fears opened their concerts this past season with this version by Lorde playing. Shows how great the lyrics are, but Lorde shows what a great artist she is by making this sound all her own.

[@winterkrash]

Lorde has this ability to make a song by another artist her own. I think that’s why she’s done a lot of covers. Great singer!

[@heymonwebejammin]

The entire song is amazing but 1:48 onwards gives me chillllls

[@dansimsss]

She's beautifull..and very talented..

[@captiveprincess4018]

Daniel Simard talented yes but beautiful...? eeeewwwwwww

[@bhtterfly]

En Gie she is beautiful !

[@sumthinblah1942]

I agree, she is a beautiful young woman. I love how so many people hate on this musical goddess. It just makes me love her all that much more because she must be doing something right to get so much hate from all the sheeple. Best of all, this is hardly the last we've heard of Lorde. She will only get better and more innovative as she matures.

[@MrEmazingLights]

sumthin blah how is was En Gie hating if she said she was talented? Please tell me because that makes NO sense what so ever,

[@rjay102]

It's haunting and I got chills listening to Lorde's version. I think it's amazing, she give justice to the song and make it her own. Lorde is the REAL DEAL, haters will always be haters.

[@VICTIMofUTUBESELLOUT]

This version makes it new and gives it more meaning and does not take away from the Tears for Fear version that was just as meaningful and epic when I first heard it as a teenager.

[@AlanTorres-tl4ms]

This just has an awesome dystopian sort of sound, I feel like its another "Radioactive" we are going to see this in every trailer but admittedly it makes them seem a bit more badass.

[@demoparkes8122]

Same bro

[@CJusticeHappen21]

Just follow whatever track plays over a Ubisoft ad, huh?

[@AlanTorres-tl4ms]

I've never seen the assassins creed unity ad because I hate that franchise... so no... I should have been more specific and said FILM trailers.

[@SiliconBong]

Bugger the computer game I like this rendition for its own qualities.

[@jaime779]

Speaking of dystopian, this was featured on the soundtrack for one of The Hunger Games movies.

[@123ian2000]

I get goosebumps at 1:48 Every single time

[@rachit4487]

[@stevehuntington8368]

Definitely not like the original. And very well done. You're a strong artist, Lorde... keep the strength

[@theschipronouncedassky9142]

I love how lorde actually touches the real issues going on in this world. Well made video!

[@SanCoop]

She didn't destroy it - she twisted it, changed the feel of it and that's what got some upset. Brilliant! I think she molded it into her own. Very cool. I love both versions!

[@amberlynn8260]

She brings this version to a whole other level..Its so dark but i freakin looovvvvve it!

[@mytube6538]

This by far way better than the original. She took an old song and made it modern, intense and captivating! Well done amazing!!

[@YghorFelletti]

More modern and intense? Ok. I totally agree with that. More captivating? Amazing? Better tah the original? Are u on drugs? oO

Are you kidding? LOL! It's a ant compared tear for fears version...

[@judithberman6752]

I love both versions. Well done on a very original take on this song, Lorde.

[@AbDuLlAhAnDeRsSoN]

Is it just me or would this make an awesome GOT trailer I mean the show is about people wanting to rule the world so wouldn't this make a good one?

[@jasonmarcel4823]

A perfect version for the most depressing generation in the history of music.

[@twofu967]

Hey, that's just your opinion, man.

[@ZombieWalker91]

It's the right opinion

[@mikaeljensen4399]

Galen G91 That is self-contradictory. Something cannot be an opinion and yet right at the same time. Within truth and claims of right lies inter-subjectivity and is contradictory than the implicit subjective claim of an opinion.

[@mikaeljensen4399]

You think it is better. I think this one is better.

[@strynevanzelk4944]

Mikael Jensen A opinion can actually be identical with what is right. If it is true that a chair stands in front of me and i have the opinion that a chair stands in front of me.

[@Guitaroverkill]

Lorde is the most artistic thing that has come along in awhile. Interesting videos and performances.

[@LanceChua9743]

Lorde: tries to copy an epic song from the 1980s Tears for Fears: epic 1980s

[@safofoh]

I like this version,, I think it goes well with the lyrics,,, she's just not smiling and saying there's a room where the light won't find you .........

[@travision009]

Assassin's Creed Unity!

[@oldascosmicdust]

TEARS FOR FEARS will be getting a big chunk of change for this cover.

[@jeffgagen3561]

Lorde has put a darkness into this song & made it her own.

[@Tehknowledge]

This sounds like it could be a good 007 song. 007: Everybody wants to rule the world.

[@Rahimi001]

[@amtra1778]

This is actually Assassin's Creed: Unity Trailer's song

[@Htopdre]

[@aRuMiHiMe]

Michelle1788 In fact no, this is actually the song used on The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. But it experienced some kind of revolving effect thanks to the Assassins Creed: Unity Trailer.

[@Dodger546]

aRuMiHiMe much better on ACU then Hunger Games.

[@There-Is-No-Virus]

Thankyou so much Lorde for bringing back SLOW SUNG SONGS. They totally rock, especially when done by beautiful people like yourself.

[@SimonPhungChannel]

As much credit to Tears for Fears, Lorde's approach toward the song with the dark and heavy tone makes the lyrics really fitting, powerful and superior. Which is why I like it more than the original, even though it has more charm than this.

[@alterdragon8167]

Simon Phung same here. I also love Tears for Fears, but the bright and happy beat and rhythm didn't fit well. Lorde made her cover and made it darker less bright. She made it more dramatic. I legit felt like an idiot for liking this one better than the orignal

[@filipr670]

So you kind of missed the point of it. It was made as a tribute to the synth pop which was popular at the time. And this song is just monotone singing to dubstep.

[@soupy5318]

I also feel like (and this is my own interpretation) the happy tone is to hide what’s going on. When you pretend everything is perfect, ok. Then, you really listen and you hear how everything is “falling apart” in a sense.

[@filipr670]

@@soupy5318 , so you got the point of the song

[@ryandiggs750]

I like the original it got that old school vibe

[@djdoyle420]

This was really well made! Thanks for putting it together :)

[@Peteslair13]

For all of you who doesn't like this song JUST because there is an original, just stop listening to this then.. personally i like both of them, and i like the way that Lorde adds a lot of melankoli to this song that tears for fear never incorporated...

[@TheArmouredCook]

Ok tears for fears version and this version are both amazing, but you can't compare them the only thing they have in common is the title and the lyrics they're both good in their own way

[@Kharmarhae]

Tears for fears is total shit trying to use depressing lyrics and happy music I see what their trying to do to add that creepy affect but they failed lorde turned their song into a hit

[@reverendflash2962]

+Rachel Forbes The Tears for Fears version was number 1 in the U.S., Canada, and Lorde's home nation of New Zealand, as well as being a top ten hit in several other countries. The Lorde version only made number 14 in New Zealand (and made number 27 on the U.S. rock chart, which is not the same as the Hot 100).

[@alyanadrua4153]

YO HATERS LET ME JUST MAKE THINGS STRAIGHT: This is a fucking cover by Lorde. A fucking COVER; thus she will make it according to her style instead of copying Tears for Fears. People have different taste so some people may like Tears for Fears, some like Lorde's version so quit your yapping and insulting Lorde for "ruining" this song. I, for one, grew up with the original version but I ended up liking this one better as it expresses the somber tune of the lyrics and I like my songs dark. Not everyone love the cheery version of TfF. Peace out.

[@bpfcgeneralsantoscity6060]

agree. :)

[@lissadawes3781]

So let me get this straight. Only positive comments are allowed? Give me a break. She has the right to her own style but I have the right to criticize it. I love the original way better. Lorde has this overbearing melancholy that she feels the need to bring to even songs that are not hers. Unlike you I didn t grow up with the original version yet I love that one way better then Lorde's version.

[@alyanadrua4153]

Lissa Dawes Yes I agree that you have the right to say your opinion but I'm pertaining to the people who don't have enough manners to respect others. I did say in my comment above that people have different taste in music but criticizing someone doesn't need to be as harsh as saying "Lorde ruined the song" or "Lorde should just go fuck herself and leave Tears for Fears alone" or something along those lines. There is a difference between criticizing and insulting.

[@lissadawes3781]

Rachit Ramesh I didn't find it fit better. Nor in the Dracula Untold. Maybe cause I didn't see the Dracula one, but I did see ACU and the song dont fit cause the trailer needs more hype than that. Though Im a fan of neither of these games(?) [I know ACU is a game idk what dracula is]
