Everybody Wants to Rule the World - The Private Language
"Instrumentally, the most significant point of separation between The Private Language and Tears for Fears in their versions of this same single comes down to the beefiness of the music. Unlike any other take on “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” this is a track that feels oversized even when it’s featuring minimalistic composing techniques – such as the signature ascent in the chorus. There’s no debating the validity of this band’s sound, but more than that, there’s no questioning the sincerity of the sentiments they’re representing poetically and musically the same in their cover of a one-of-a-kind song.

"Covering the iconic Tears For Fears original, The Private Language has released an uplifting cover paired with a video that pulls on the heartstrings. KJ Sawka of Pendulum and Blake Lewis featured on the track, the video is super cinematic and embraces the highs and lows that come with the globally connected culture we live in today. Boasting the genres of electropop, indie dance, and future funk within the cover, a sense of nostalgia is triggered in this experience." -RaverRafting.com
