Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World (State Azure Cover)

Another 80s instrumental ambient re-invention track, and another big favourite of mine from that era. Originally I also had drums going with this one, but decided it sounded much better without them.
No hardware used on this one, it's all software. Plugins used:
Lounge Lizard
Omnisphere
Diva
Zebra
Dune 3
This idea was partly inspired by Behringer's ambient version of the same track, which they used on the Tears for Fears synth restoration video here: • Tears For Fears DX1 He...
Recorded direct to DAW.
Video shot on a Sony A6400 with a 35mm prime lens. Editing and colour grading done in Da Vinci Resolve.

This is one of my favorite 80s songs, and if anyone can take it down to a level that is soft, beautiful and inspiring - it's you, SA. Wonderfully done as always!

[@AmyWallaceVocalist]

Agree!!!!! 🎶

[@SpicySteve-tz2so]

This song is also one of my favorites. I graduated in the late 80's and this song brings back some wonderful memories every...single...time I listen to it!

[@-AndAllThatJazz..]

Yeah . . deep shame most aint followin' title´s song . Only for worse . Apart from music that is .

[@vonantesberg]

I was in a band a while ago. We did all kinds of 80s: U2, Gary Numan, Eurythmics... THIS song was the BEST we ever performed. I will never forget the feeling of getting this song tight. Your recreation of it reinvigorated in me that experience; made me feel it again like it was the first time all over again. Thank you for that!!!

[@ggrinfan]

What a beautiful version of a song that takes me back to my youth. "I can't stand this indecision, married with a lack of vision" 🙏

[@rabitstudios2.158]

"Everybody whants to rule the world.

[@Sonny5675]

State Azure never ceases to amaze me with all of its music. This song, like this, is plain AWESOME!!!!

[@wngimageanddesign9546]

One of my favorite songs from my youth! Nothing like the 80s for music!

[@markcross]

I couldn't believe his cover of Love on a train by Tangerine Dream. So I was looking forward to this when I saw it. Saturday morning in bed on the boat, first tea, second track after Thompson Twins Doctor Doctor. Pure joy. Thank you.

[@BradRossMacLeod]

I love how you repeatedly use that little descending figure from the intro. Brilliant!

[@marcinwasowski8909]

Please more covers from 80’s and 90’s👍👌

[@Crossfade1625]

this sounds brilliant, has that spacey style you often have. This is a great version and does the original justice by not messing too much with the melody

[@dreamdealer]

Every sound in this is so clear and beautiful, such a masterclass in sound design and mixing. Fantastic work mate.

[@djboris351]

Atmospheric and nostalgic... my soul and mind go back in a time machine... to a beautiful time.

[@johnfromarkansas7345]

I used to listen to this song on the radio when it first came out. Your covers of certain releases just make them better. . Great work! Class of 87.

[@AmyWallaceVocalist]

I love Tears for Fears!!!! This was so beautiful...Wow! 🎶💙

[@chrissmiles4983]

My favorite all time song covered by one of my all time favorite renegade ambient artists. This is a good day!

[@davidledoux1736]

What a lovely cover. The 80s were such a great decade for music that has been unequaled since....made possible, of course, in large part by the synthesizer. Thank you, SA!

[@warisaracket8808]

One of my favorites growing up and now my favorite cover, love it. More 80’s classic electronic covers please!

[@whisthpo]

Words aren't enough to describe what this did to 57% of my epidermis.... One of my fave 'Feel Good' songs of the 80's.....

[@GalileoAV]

Beautiful and profoundly nostalgic.

[@brickviking667]

I'm old enough to have heard the original, there's just nothing like those gated drums along with the wonderful synth and guitars. This was a wonderful song when it was released, this is a nice reinterpretation.

[@pile333]

So amazing feeling when an electroartist has your same musical tastes and makes a personal version of one of those pieces! 👏

[@davidepasquali1870]

great! you dont make music, you make magic!❤

[@westend117]

Excellent work which becomes modernist nostalgia for me

[@ambientsession]

very nicely and coherently implemented, those were the days👌

[@robstammers7149]

Absolutely sublime version of probably the best ever song on the planet, absolutely captures the essence of the rhythm we all love. Beautiful.

[@frigginFin]

Absolutely amazing performance! Listened the original song a lot when I was a teen way back in 80's - you picked up exaclty the right ingredients from it. Bravo! Next: Shout. Maybe. Please...

[@wrowe2559]

Yes, I would love to see what you do with Shout as well!

[@timothyskattum950]

I’m so happy to have found this channel. Absolutely bliss! Thank you for making already beautiful music even more beautiful. “Welcome to your life” 😍

[@CinematicLaboratory]

I sincerely hope my studio looks a bit like yours one day. Such a beautiful workspace.

[@johnsaunders6510]

Just lovely. Sitting outside in my garden in the evening during this heatwave and chilling to this. Fantastic.

[@Lenamusic]

Absolutely amazing ..Thank you for uplifting vibes

[@dougb70]

much cooler than I expected when I clicked the link. Can't wait to check out all of your vids.

[@waldmeisterbrehm]

amazing, what you re-make... it's simply magic! i think, i say, what all your fans feel: we love, what you do here....

[@catherineshaw1122]

I wasn't sure how this would hold up without the signature vocals but this is absolutely gorgeous, as always.

[@rebeccawoods5119]

I love this.It sounds enough like the original but yet sounds like a whole new piece.That's why I love what you do.

[@TomWick]

Bravo (solo standing ovation with my headphones on) Bravo 👏

[@albshore8]

Gorgeously done. I think Roland and Curt would appreciate this cover. As always👍🏾💯

[@soocool78]

YES! Another cover!!! Love your work, and listen to you constantly at work. Nothing against your originals at ALL cause they are amazing. But watching your own "spin" on covers is just another joy entirely. As a side note: I recommend to anyone a fan of this song to watch the video by The Main Squeeze as they cover this song (soul/funk rock cover, different feel entirely)

[@sysOpModular]

Reliving my youth with these sounds from days gone by. Great work once again!:)

[@Death_By_Media]

Cool ambient and moody arrangement, though I felt teased looking and the Elektron Analog Rytm sitting there waiting for it to bust out that iconic beat . Cheers

[@dreammix9430]

I cant wait to listen to this in headphones!

[@vmavpt74]

I went to another time and space dimension. Thank you.

[@cole9023]

Another must see in concert back in the day. They were great live. Really enjoyed your cover S. A. 😎👍

[@AmandaVieiraMamaesouCult]

I'm watching in full screen bc image quality is top notch

[@chrisstephenson8311]

Ahh the amazing song that was at the end of the movie “Real Genius”👍🏻

[@jayduby]

while i love your ambient 2+ hour uploads. these are so much more sharable with friends. hope you continue to produce and share these expressions :D

[@TarpeianRock]

Pure magic, as important as the notes you play are those you don’t play.

[@blunite545]

Wow! Amazing. Genius! Crazy how far Tech has come. Keep them coming.

[@thedonal]

A cracking song to cover- I love this more and more as I get older. Lush sounds as ever. Nice work!

[@mrx8080]

hey bro, wow lol, this is by far the best "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" Cover i have heard. and no need for vocals. super amazing thanks

[@erichavenbass]

I am speechless. That was beautiful.

[@squidsweat]

omg i don't know how you made me cry with this song but omg you took a absolute beast of a song and made it absolutely transcendent

[@newyorican357]

Best updated version out there. An amazing track... Remember The 80's ❤❤❤

[@dmcinnis23]

Holy crap this is gorgeous. Just.....wow.

[@the_cursor]

I got some great Caretaker vibes from this one, in the way you made the memory of the song far more perfect than it ever was.

[@InvertedPopesMusic]

Nice one SA, took me back to my gigging days in the 80's this was one of our favourites. Really nice cover version.

[@lespetitspianodenatacha]

Very well done. Great reinvention of the song.

[@PeteKowalsky]

I LOVE IT! Also one of my all-time favorite 80's jams and this is just *perfect* in the way you've done it here. Gorgeous!

[@neptronix]

Killin' it over there!

[@MartinLueders]

Fantastic re-invention of one of my favorite tracks. It's so nice how it is so different, but still immediately recognizable.

[@syddiesel8420]

Brilliantly done my friend sounds awesome Tears for Fears one of my favourite bands from the 80s, I'm very glad I found your magnificent channel Thanks for sharing with us 🎶🎶

[@volkerwagner6885]

[@deniro800]

CBL meets TFF.....Fantastic.

[@sillyjrnvideos]

Excellent indeed, master State Azure.🙂

[@michaelwarren824]

Awesome cover! Masterful! Just saw TFF last night in concert, awesome show and of course this was in the set list.

[@jonhughes915]

this is so wonderful and a total chill out /thank you again

[@ChantingInTheDark]

Wow, what an awesome interpretation! I love this channel!

[@jonathancastell6670]

Amazing. Thanks from Chile

[@eternalsenses]

Beautiful and brilliant and in my humble opinion as good as the Gary Jules attempt of Mad word. I have been involved in many ways over the years with Electronic music and have counted certain bands/individuals as my inspirers and you sir are on that list. Long may you continue...

[@yuts568]

I feel like Stranger things could use this! It’s so 80s vibe, and would honestly be so cool!

[@pilarboutte392]

Sophomore year in high school......this takes me back❤️

[@loganxart]

As always. You do great tracks.

[@kentborges5114]

LOVE IT ! GREAT RENDITION !

[@neonvoid]

[@jaspernap]

Wow thanks for creating this, awesome as usual I really enjoy your work!

[@maxceeport]

Very beautiful!!!

[@Sheffield_Steve]

Can't believe that this has only just appeared on my KZbin home screen. So glad it did, as they say, the best things come to those who wait! 👍 Truly wonderful what you've done to another 80s classic, would be great to hear what you could do with more Tears for Fears tracks.

[@thomaskl.42]

What a wonderful interpration of this beautiful song!😍 Well done!!

[@Seasonstobecheerful]

Beautifully done.. I really love your subtle changes and totally dont miss the drums ( but would love to hear that version as well ;-)

[@aseomg]

Beautiful interpretation!

[@FernanQ]

Beautiful as usual 👍❤️

[@orchidsvoid]

Wow brilliant cover in your style ❤️

[@allanfolsom9474]

I actually like this version better than the original. Nice one.

[@bmeinardus]

Una mágica versión de una gran canción de los ochenta!!!!

[@lyneboule4943]

So Beautiful

[@yccy1962]

¡EXCELENTE! Hermoso tema. Hermoso cover. Fantastic ambient tunes, as always :-)

[@ariochiv]

This was very enjoyable.

[@JambonDeluxe]

damn, that's good

[@NigelTheBuddha]

This is up there with Snow Drift and Edge Of Forever as the best ambient music i've ever heard. Thank you so much. I'm a massive Howard Jones fan, if you ever fancy covering one of his songs :)

[@davidledoux1736]

Same! A few Howard Jones covers would definitely be appreciated.

[@sebaszwarc]

That song is masterpiece, nice to see you not only cover Tangerine Dream :)

[@RM_VFX]

Check out their cover of In The Air Tonight

[@xriou]

Beautiful ambient cover

[@uffewulfen]

As always, most impressive!
