The Ocho-riffic Song o' the Day - 8/17/2010 - A La Tears for Fears

((Well it doesn't feel very Ocho-riffic to me now because it's four days late.  I intended for this to be the Ocho-riffic song of the day on Friday the 13th.  Needless to say, the morning got away from me and by the end of the night, the LAST thing on earth I felt was Ocho-riffic.  And so, I'll take another run at making this a daily feature ... to challenge myself, if nothing else ...))Everybody Wants to Rule the World
Tears for Fears -


It was the first Billboard Hot 100 number-one hit for Tears for Fears on June 8, 1985.




Welcome to your life




There's no turning back

Even while 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 design

It's my own remorse

Help me to decide

Help 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 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



When asked how he feels about singing "Rule the World" after all these years; Curt Smith said, "I don't have a problem with that song. It was the perfect recording of that song. So it's actually kind of gratifying. I have no issues with it. Once you hit the beginning bars and that little guitar break, it's quite joyous. I still get a buzz from it. There are issues I have with other songs like Shout, because I'm not an angry 22-year-old anymore. So that, we've changed the arrangement. Basically, if you have an issue with something, you just try and change it and update so that emotionally it works for you now. But Rule the World doesn't need changing."
