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).

[@MrFranganito]

[@RoySATX]

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".

[@PatriciaGSousa]

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

[@kmcummings8272]

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!

[@georgfriedrichhendl9881]

Being old enough to remember the original 🤦‍♂️😥 I think that I actually prefer this version, I think that it is more elegant.

[@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.

The best cover

[@legendre007]

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

[@bdchatfi]

There is so much depth to this song that I never realized before... Welcome to your life There's no turning back Even while we sleep We will find You acting on your best behavior Turn your back on mother nature Everybody wants to rule the world It's my own desire 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, 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

[@novahuman5964]

very millennial sounding cover.. great lyrics though

[@mornehuman6723]

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.

[@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.

[@chrisf8904]

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.

[@davideseigbe2326]

[@randalmoore4704]

This album is still on my loose stack that I listen to once a week, but man, the drama Natalie puts into it really makes the lyrics even more meaningful. God you guys are good. So tight!

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 !

[@noahgillesmusic]

This is my favorite cover you guys have done. Just so so good. Gorgeous and groovy, I love it!

[@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

[@jackster1212]

That was… stunning. Beautiful in its own right and made me love the original even more too.

[@G.V.III.]

The song's ending part of "help me to decide" was no longer and statement. It was now more of a yearning to the unanswered question in reference... "help me to dE-Ci-i-de? Help me make... the MOST of Freedom and..." just a thought. Love you guys. ❤🔥💯 Thanks for all your hard work. 💜🎵

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!

[@bobcole612]

It’s not auto tune. Nataly is just that good. I’ve looked at her vocals through a pitch analyzer. Say, for example, she’s singing a C6 note. She may be a few hertz sharp, or a few hertz flat. Auto tune would lock her on the pitch. Any you would lose so much of HER. It’s those little variations, above and below pitch that make singers SINGERS, and not machines. It’s what makes a unique vocal quality. And Nahneen Kula adds such a silky sweet quality to her backing vocals.
