NEW MUSIC: Lorde - Everybody Wants To Rule The World - LISTEN NOW!
Posted on 10:53 AM by Unknown
Check out this new track from NZ singing sensation Lorde. A cover of Tears for Fears' Everybody Wants To Rule The World. Listen below!
Republic Records have released 90 seconds of Lorde's musical contribution to the soundtrack for the film, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. The track is a cover of Tears for Fears' 1985 hit Everybody Wants To Rule The World.
Lorde's rendition is far cry from originals light hearted production, opting for a more gritty and dark theme. Lorde's signature vocals crawl throughout the haunting rendition.
"I think it's absolutely amazing. But then I love her, I think she's brilliant," Tears For Fears' Curt Smith told MTV Hive about Lorde's cover. "We love it when other people cover our stuff. Sometimes we steal them and use their version live."
Smith said the concept behind the song was "quite serious": "It's about everybody wanting power, about warfare and the misery it causes."
