LYRICS
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you.
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you.
Cause I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
When I wake up, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
And if I go out, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
If I get drunk, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you
Oh can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches with every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
I’m gonna be the man who’s coming home with you
I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
Cause I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
Da lat da (Da lat da), da lat da (Da lat da)
Da-da-da dun-diddle un-diddle un-diddle uh da-da
Da lat da (Da lat da), da lat da (Da lat da)
Da-da-da dun-diddle un-diddle un-diddle uh da-da

KEVIN OLUSOLA WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT???!!?! If you told me I had 100 years to be good at either cello or beat-boxing, I would never make it to his level. And he does BOTH at the SAME TIME. How. Just...how.

[@nathanwalla3504]

The kollab we didn't know we needed

[@TheCloud785]

*God Bless You All!!* Your work is truly amazing.. 👏💜🕊

[@wystemd]

aaaaaand he can sing!

[@tubeWyrme]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@metropolis10]

Wasn't the whole point of this feature that he is singing? Not beat boxing... Kind of an implied burn here though I know you didn't mean it. :(

[@crenshawshank]

Amazing cello solo breakdown aside, can we all agree this might be the most iconic of all Natalie's looks?

[@TLP07]

Agreed!

[@petersherman2187]

Stunning!

[@RedCoolade]

That look just exudes power and appeal

[@juhimi2976]

I liked her natural look more... 😢 Now she looks like all the others.

[@nugemi]

Absolutely !!!

[@ronsnijders3636]

Can we take a second just to appreciate how understatedly awesome those drums are?

[@Pomplamoose]

So true.

[@rtgonzo]

"Pocket Queen" Indeed!

[@Pylonier]

That beat at the beginning of the second verse ...... Weeeeeeeeeehhhhhh! O.o 🤪🤩

[@arothmanmusic]

Pocket Queen is magic. I’ve been following her on IG for ages now.

[@vitaintrasferta5264]

Agree!!! Awsome!!!

[@jrhoadley]

I didn't think Every Breath could be more creepy, but mashing it up with 500 miles makes it positively psychotic. Toe-tapping, but still psychotic.

[@flynnryan]

It's a song about a stalker. It's supposed to be psychotic. 😆

[@LarryStonster]

Too funny

[@faigler]

This is the most fun "I will go ANYWHERE to stalk you" has ever been.

[@jayraymond9707]

The production quality is ridiculous. You’re all so talented.

[@Memorh19]

Damn right!!

[@DuncanJimmy]

Can't love this enough. Makes it impossible not to smile while watching such obviously talented musicians having so much fun and enjoying their craft.

[@tjkadar]

The sheer joy that came through from all involved in this project was absolutely infectious. Hats off to Taylor, Molly, and Nicole for being an outstanding band for Nataly, KO, and Nahneen. And none of this would be possible without Jack. Audio and video - the unsung heroes of every production!

[@PokeDaddy151]

I've been a Pomplamoose fan since t=0. Love them. Everything about them. I cannot for the life of me find a place that lists the band members. I would like to be able to search out their names and see if they have work that I can listen to. I know that this grouping is just a small subset of the larger experience that is Pomplamoose but it would be really great if the other folks in the band get credited so we can see their names and follow them. If it is there, I blame old age and apologize 🙂

[@computertoucher]

As a Scot, I think I'm going to have to watch this again, ideally after I've recovered from hearing somebody sing the word "haver" in an American accent.

[@MaltAndPepper]

He was just, like, hayverin', ya know?

[@keith4278]

I was ready for the "And when I'm haverin', whatever that mean..." line haha

[@Dave-fk5bu]

Hahaha, as a Scotsman, I was trying anticipate how it would sound, its just no the same :-)) Enjoyed the tune none the less

[@MaltAndPepper]

I only very recently found out about the havering and what it meant thanks to QI 😁

[@MrJones-xw8mn]

I always thought it was "heaving into you". Which seemed to fit with the prior line of getting drunk but I thought it seemed a bit out of place that you would be vomiting on the one you love.

[@gqsnowman]

Well that was unexpected in like 4 different layers. Yes to all of this. The build on this song was fantastic.

[@Dhakadice]

It's cool how effortlessly they swapped the styles and change back and forth like that.

[@FireOakFive]

If i did not know better, one could have convinced me that had been produced that way from the get go! Sooo smooth and natural!

[@Myzelfa]

Two of our most popular songs about stalking someone, mashed together.

[@fireant202]

Pentatonix needs to give this man more solos! I had no idea his voice was so amazing.

[@grahamstrouse1165]

I knew I knew him from somewhere!

[@michaelnajoan5104]

I read the title and was like : "huh, never heard of KO...... they might be good" (yes, I thought it was a band's name) then I see Kevin on screen was like : "oh, so that's what KO stands for- WAIT WHAAAAATTTTT?????!!!!!!"

[@petersherman2187]

Right there with you.

[@McLushi]

This guy has an unbelievably beautiful voice...

[@davidmatthews3131]

All the performers are great, but whoever had the idea is a star.

[@hendrikp7006]

When Natalie looked straight into the camera and sang "every vow you break" I started feeling guilty even tho I didn't do anything. Oh the power of Music, gotta love it :D

[@slashergf]

i had mentioned to a friend that i love pentatonix but wished kevin had a chance to sing more often since i was sure his voice was amazing, and i was right! love these mashups, you guys are so talented! much love xxx

[@NYcDcG]

He has a few albums out, you should check them out. His most recent one is AMAZING!

[@jaideeprai230]

I am not sure but is it Taylor Moore on the drums. She is on 🔥 fire. Everything else is just too awesome to be put down in words. Natalie, Kevin, the young soul on the bass, Pomplamoose, Jack Conte & all the recording artists involved, Just Plain Awesome.

[@joshgerber718]

I love the Every Breath You Take melody over the 500 Miles bass line. 👌

[@cambium0]

Guitar player does the trademark 9th arpeggios from Every Breath *only* on the 500 miles part. Nice touch. Not usually a fan of this kind of thing but this was really smooth.

[@ivanheffner2587]

Talk about mixed signals: “I’m totally dedicated to stalking you.”

[@pankourlaut]

ikr...it's the scariest combination of songs

[@taoist32]

And yet musicians and singers will continue to sing these delightful stalker songs. Makes me wonder.

[@ivanheffner2587]

@@taoist32 It’d be one thing if you were to do a mashup of “I Put A Spell On You” and “Every Breath You Take” (both being “I own you; no one else can have you” songs); it seems like another thing entirely to take an “I’m totally dedicated and will do anything for you” song and make it a “… because I own you” song. Maybe that’s just me and my lack of this sort of artistic vision.

[@thomasscoville1148]

It's not stalking if yer Scottish.

[@scottwilson3453]

What an insanely talented group of people. And that bass, incredible.

[@cleanslate2004]

I guess the string guy is the fella from the Pentatonics ? He's an amazing artist. He owns his part making a none sing into a beautiful sing & his string work is flawlessly fluid. I'd love to hear him lead on more stuff. He's got the charisma to. Bravo !

[@cleanslate2004]

Oops, it's rude of me not to mention the other's. The orchestration was superb & each player was on point. Once again Pomp. makes two Pearl's outts one.

[@trickap5285]

Holy molly, she's now a diva. Totally different person if we compare it to that singiing girl with a batman shirt and a smile. I'm glad you guys made it.

[@missbeth347]

I'm obsessed. in a totally non creepy way.

[@gwg68]

This is a great mashup. I love the contrast of a man unhealthily obsessed with a woman to a man who truly loves a woman.

[@leoratzlaff]

This is just talented people flexing. I love it.

[@veggiet2009]

This is the most chill rendition of both of these songs... I'm not sure that the lyrics of 500 miles makes "Every Breath" any less creepy... but great mashup!

[@bbalance2086]

The masks make it creepy.

[@stevenkane6496]

I think they are both creepy and the combination is chilling.

[@kaeb11]

They are both stalker songs. I love them both …but they are creepy. Great mashup!

[@canaisyoung3601]

It doesn't, but who cares? There's no way to make that song less creepy.

[@slegyras]

So glad to see that it's not only me who find Every Breath creepy. It's not only creepy, it's horrifying, I have nightmares about someone singing it to me. And I'm an un-famous, ordinary man.

[@Ploon72]

This may be my favourite of yours yet. Massive Police fan, massive Pentatonix (and KO) fan, and love this Proclaimers song. Fun fact: to “haver” is Scottish for talking nonsense.

[@faigler]

I have wondered this for many, many years. Thank you!

[@joshharris3265]

Wow! I have no more words. Just wow!

[@LectionARICCLARK]

The guitar switching places with the vocals... the drums, the cello... such an amazing mashup.

[@Solidfact42]

So many times when I see your mashups, I keep thinking "there's no way these things will fit together" and then they do and I'm blown away by it. Once again, knocked it out of the park in ways I don't quite understand but love nonetheless.

[@deannilvalli6579]

This is truly amazing. Singing the lyrics of one song while oddly fitting it into the music of the other, than reversing it... just incredible. And well played on top of that.

[@metropolis10]

This song really suited KO's voice, great mashup! Also this is probably the only musician ensemble I know on youtube that regularly features women in the band on instruments. So go Pomplamoose!

[@williamgarrett7246]

I couldn't stop finding things to love about this collaboration.

[@courtoisdavid7106]

In English (En français plus bas dans le texte) : This song from Pomplamoose ft. KO is what I call in french "Orgasme pour les oreilles" (N'est-ce pas, chère Nataly/Nathalie !?) or in english "Climax for ears" ! And it's always the quality of what you are doing with Pomplamoose... Sometimes, I even don't really like the originals songs from the originals bands or singers, but I always like very much what Pomplamoose do with them ! This show how very important is the arrangements musical quality and the soul the band put in the song. This band is so enjoying to play music together that you can always feel it in their créations. Thank you Pomplamoose ! I like your "juice". And I was very happy to discover KO's real voice, who's I well know from Pentatonix, but quite always beat boxing. What a nice voice ! Hope we'll hear it more often in Pentatonix's songs ! And what a great musician ! En français : Cette chanson de Pomplamoose, dans laquelle figure KO, est ce que j'appelle de "l'orgasme pour les oreilles" (Isn't it, dear Nataly/Nathalie ?) ou en anglais "Clmax for ears" ! Et ce que vous faites avec Pomplamoose est toujours de cette qualité... Parfois, il m'arrive même de ne pas trop aimer les chansons originales des groupes ou chanteurs originaux, mais j'aime toujours beaucoup ce que Pomplamoose en fait ! Cela montre bien combien est importante la qualité des arrangements musicaux et l'âme que met le groupe dans les chansons. Les membres de ce groupe ont tellement de plaisir à jouer de la musique ensembles que ça se ressent toujours dans leurs créations ! Merci !, Pomplamoose ! J'aime ton "jus" ! Et j'ai été très heureux de découvrir la vraie voix chantée de KO, que je connais très bien de Pentatonix, mais presque toujours à faire du Beat Box. Quelle belle voix ! J'espère qu'on l'entendra plus souvent dans les chansons de Pentatonix ! Et quel musicien !

[@katiecan7404]

Of course I just clicked because.... Pomplamoose, 500 Miles, Sting.... and I didn't really register the "ft. KO" part. And there was Kevin!!! ❤ I love that this featured him singing and playing cello with less emphasis on his beatboxing -- he's no one-trick pony, lol! And as I was watching this video, I kept thinking this features two of the most beautiful smiles in music these days. Thanks so much for this!

[@benwittman3431]

O.M.G. one of your best! A brilliant pairing of Nataly and Kevin Olusola! Also loved how you swapped 2 iconic guitar rifts, using 500 Miles riff under Every Breath You Take lyrics and vise versa.
