Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World [cover]

[@kreg001]

This channel should have at least a million views and subscribers. The amount of effort this guy puts in to make the cover as close to original as possible is insane.

[@stevenfromleicester2529]

No doubt the KZbin algorithm working it's magic. Keeping views away from an unbelievably talented musician and singer and sending people to the music company's videos.

[@Spurrr]

This cover is literally the best on yt why does it only have 22k views

[@ClemensWennersMusic]

Thanks Spurr! Gotta start somewhere.. Haha!

[@DavidBoura]

​@@ClemensWennersMusic i'm a YT bee and strangely needed some time to find you. Maybe you don't tag properly or don't work your visibility at all? Your stats are inversely proportional to the class A quality of you.

[@freyafoxmusic]

Exactly

[@hindflight]

Totally agree!!! This is great!

[@EphemeralProductions]

Cuz sadly hardly anyone knows about this dang channel. :(

[@dmorga1]

The algorithm delivers, eventually. Can't believe I'm just seeing this now. The key to this song is all the synth work and sequencing combined with all the great syncopated guitar licks. It's a simple song to sing along with, but incredibly difficult once you see all its moving parts. This one has like 95% of them. It's really, really impressive. I would kick the Korg keyboard solo up in the mix a bit and same with the crunchy lead guitar for the last bits, but that's it. Really nice work.

[@ettaosullivan8088]

Tears for fears must be blown away with this version ❤️👌

[@EphemeralProductions]

I would love to try to get them to hear it (if they haven’t already) but then they might get weird about copyright. :/. I think they’d be highly impressed though

[@christophergaudreau9265]

Roland & Curt are COOL WITH IT . . . . TRUST ME !. . . .LOL

[@nigelcottingham5741]

I'll second that with flying colours 🤘🤘

[@rfichokeofdestiny]

@@christophergaudreau9265The musicians usually are. It’s the record labels that lose their minds over this stuff.

[@matthewcragg3607]

"Shout", "Head Over Heals", and "Woman in Chains", also by Tears for Fears, along with "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" are, in my opinion, some of the finest most decade-defining songs of the legendary 1980's.

[@tylercrawford8252]

Well done! Next, you should cover "The Boys of Summer" by Don Henley.

[@MrSkylerBergman]

KILLER!!!!!!! Unbelievable!!!!

[@ellavaderknows]

Loving your channel, Clement! I too, had a great time breaking down these songs and trying reproduce them accurately. You've done an amazing job with this one! Lots of subtle nuisances. One thing though (and I think you'll smile when you hear it) at 3:32 with the lyric "Everybody wants to rule the world" Ian Stanley plays that same line on the synth (either a Fairchild, DX-7 or a Prophet T-8...hard to tell) I think it's a neat touch and something that I didn't notice for many, many years. It's the only time that it's done in the song and very subtle. Go back and give it a listen! Looking forward to hearing more from you!

[@MacXpert74]

I don't know why KZbin didn't recommend your channel earlier to me. Your covers a pure gold!

[@LarryLeeMoniz]

I do not know of anyone that has the attention to detail you have. Every not, every nuance, recreated to perfection!

[@TrebleForTheBass]

The solo is where he proves he's an awesome musician. Technically anyone can program a cover, but playing it is altogether a different story. This song is not complicated at all on keyboards, but Roland's solo shines

[@matthewcragg3607]

True…that's what I thought too. All this work is amazing, the tones are extremely close if not spot on, the vocals are really good, but the guitar work is 80's era professional grade playing.

[@MrAgmoore]

I was listening to the vocal isolation for “Shout” on Apple Music - amazing to hear.

[@80ssynthfan48]

I heard Roland did not play the solo on the record.

[@TrebleForTheBass]

@@80ssynthfan48 A lot of musicians in the 80s didn’t play their own music on the records. That went to studio musicians. He still plays it live perfectly so it doesn’t really matter and he’s the one that plays it live

[@MrAgmoore]

@@80ssynthfan48 That seems so weird?

[@Lukoguitar]

Perfeito cover.

[@hoodedsinger9990]

With the amount and level of talent this guy has, he certainly deserves more than 17.8k subs. C'mon guys. He deserves 1-M at least! Sub now!

[@DraycosTFM]

This is probably the best cover of the song I've heard on youtube so far. You're not struggling to hit the high note like every other guy I've heard try and sing it.

[@humanchannel7825]

Auto tune

[@bsfluo]

Well, you totally nailed it!

[@ettaosullivan8088]

Great version of my favourite song of all time

[@jannyvanbrouwershaven7481]

Genieten!

[@Hettepop]

ja, ok ook! 😁🇳🇱🇺🇸

[@derekstocker6661]

Once again, a faultless version of a song that brings back so many memories of a wonderful time and music. Thanks so much, very much enjoyed this!

[@luziamariadejesus4709]

parabens pelo esforso lindo💑

[@joslinmusic]

Fantastic !!! Please keep going. Your work is Great !!!!

[@jyclin13]

Love the 80s songs. Keep them coming. Your voice goes with them really well.

[@WatchmanNiel]

You’re bringing new life & joy to this classic, what a pleasure to listen!

[@tonabernard9200]

Yes....his own sound shines thur, and updates the original song!

[@luispaz5560]

Amo esta canción 😍💝 excelente versión gracias Mi juventud, mis 13 años, aún no me dejaban ir al boliche. La escuchaba en casa y la bailaba como si estuviera en el boliche,🎶🎵🎼💙

[@nate-orito7990]

How did you replicate the synth sound and the guitar tone so perfectly??!?!?!?! This is sooo amazing

[@jorgec5236]

guitar part was 100% SPOT ON. Nice work!!!

[@rockstaa8859]

Awesome Cover, awesome voice, awesome playing! Absolutly brilliant!!!

[@NorCalPhil]

Wow. Just realized that the Juno is the same synth used by Michael Jackson on “The Way You Make Me Feel”

[@80ssynthfan48]

You note the similarity in the rhythm also?

[@fastfrankblack]

It just blows my mind all this amazing stuff on YT now; no wonder I haven’t turned on the tv this year!

[@Kiroh]

You deserve way more subscribers. Binge watching your covers. Amazing talent and hard work displayed!

[@r.maj.7065]

Jesus it is better as the original -wooooooooooooooooooooow! Super amazing covers - thank you very much for listening, Clemens!

[@jameshaberkamp5927]

My all time favorite 80's song. Love it awesome cover.

[@Novanetics]

Damn, son. You welded that sucker! Great job!

[@hartleygabolinscy3152]

Okay, Now you have my attention... 🤣🤣🤣. Maestro. 👏👏👏 Just fantastic Clemens. Congratulations on music well performed/ and video. Brilliant. I’m in exactly your situation with my music room, except I can’t sing and I’ve locked myself in the wardrobe. Now.., I cannot wait to get outa here and get some music done. Best wishes forever dude. 👍👍👍🌏👍👍👍 (nz) ❤️👍

[@toferj7441]

This song is so iconic. Great job, brother! 👍🏼🎤

[@DanielBrownsan]

You nailed that "help me to decide" transition than they did. Applause!

[@carstenaltena]

Great rendition. I am very, very envious of your vintage synth collection!

[@DoctorJohnSmith9]

You chose a dangerous song to tackle and cover, and nailed it and made it your own. Well done!

[@luizgustavo808]

Simplesmente você é de outro mundo , você é fantástico , amo Tears for Fears , parabéns !!!!

[@rfichokeofdestiny]

I really love the guitar work on this one. Great tone and phrasing.

[@Mario-xr3jo]

Just unbelievable!

[@keithbrown7685]

I was really touched by this. Thank you! TFF was is one of my favorite duos, namely their stuff from the 80s. In a way, they *were* the 80s. You have SO MUCH TALENT! Keep it up!

[@tomloncaric6189]

Really well done! All the details are there.

[@ClemensWennersMusic]

Thank you Tom!

[@dadduorp]

Love the vocal trill you do at 1:46. Would love to hear you do a version of The Police’s “Spirits In The Material World” or Bryan Ferry’s “Slave To Love.”

[@charlest.roomer6291]

Awesome performance Dude!!! You ARE a Grrrreat Musician : )

[@StokenP]

Amazing Video So accurate sounds almost the same

[@darrenprole5802]

Real Genius baby. The most 80's outro ever

[@dannynewey4056]

That PRS, is an absolutely Beautiful Guitar. That's exactly the colour I'd buy if I had the Money. Fantastic Covers, Clemens. You''re VERY talented. 😁

[@imgaburamos]

[@Angelillo36]

Besides... Your music repertoire is so goog choiced. Outstanding

[@PrentisHancock1]

Damn, that was musical PERFECTION, Clemens! Not a single note, neither vocally nor instrumentally was out of place. I absolutely love your music. I've been listening for a couple of years now.

[@whiteduke75]

Love the Roland (Orzabal) keys👍🙏

[@whiteduke75]

Also do "I Can dream about you" (Dan Hartman), plz💓

[@jamesclarke5306]

Brilliant cover of a classic song .

[@ClemensWennersMusic]

Thanks James!

[@MapleJames76]

I must've listened to this 100 times over the past couple years, and every time it comes up in my suggestions, I click on it to watch. My girls dance around the room when it comes on, such an exceptional job :) fist bumps from Ontario, Canada :)

[@jeffinhopb1]

Great, Great, Great. Congratulations. Show!!!

[@Jhtjon]

I love the periodic table behind you in most of the shots

[@infiniteflyer2178]

Damn you changed the thumb nail. I couldnt fimd this vid. I love this cover. Best vocal cover out there

[@albertobeltran6473]

Clemens! Awesome job. Looking forward to hearing more of your work. I think I've listened to this version more than the original. And, I was around when the original came out.

[@Robthebengalguy]

You nailed another one...job well done

[@soueumesmopodecrersuperman]

ADORO ESSA MÚSICA, E SOU FÃ DESSE CARA,CANTA MUITO.

[@rogerioantonio7361]

Simplesmente mágico show

[@tronatore1]

Man, what a wonderful experience it is for me to listen to covers... I do not know why, but when I create my own covers/versions, I really enjoy the fact of being close to the original piece of music I love so much. Yours are simply PRISTINE! I'd love to hear some of Marillion's songs led by your genius skills. Think of it a bit.... There must be plenty of songs you may like from Marillion (Fish or Steve H) you can perfectly cover! (I would suggest "Easter") Cheers mate! Keep making my youtube time great!

[@herrerabernal]

Simply great!!

[@sleekspook1655]

Wow! The memories this brings back. Thank you

[@emiliocorcheromontero3911]

Parabéns 🇧🇷

[@wilddrum78]

excellent job mate. I really enjoyed this a lot!!

[@krissyrose14]

This guy really loves this music. I can tell with how faithful the covers are. Really cool hearing the Wavestation doing what the Emulator II voices originally did, it's as if Tony Banks of Genesis got involved in the gig. :)

[@frederickmathews]
