This is a new song, inspired by Tears for Fears "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", though it sounds nothing like it. It is an epic production, over 40 tracks, with cellos and vocals from BB, so many I don't have a memo. There are two drum tracks sharing, and several bass tracks. There is only one guitar in the song, a BB muted guitar. It is mainly a synth song, with many tracks from my UltraNova. Here are the lyrics. https://soundcloud.com/willrockwell/king-of-the-world King of the World D How did we get here A was it the Russian collusion or the angry white men D how did this happen A will we ever see the shining city again GBm you represent the nation just for the duration F#mA don't get a fixation you're just in the rotation GAGA collusion, confusion DADA illusion, delusion GAD and still you think you're King of the world GAGA conceit deceit DADA defeat, tweet GAD nobody made you King of the World GAGA fabrication, infiltration DADA ruination, abomination GAD how could you be the King of the World GAD still you pretend you're King of the World D all the suckers you played A all the families you hurt all the promises made D I guess we shouldn't be surprised A your whole life is built from lies GBm but it's coming apart, no one left to outsmart F#mA it's all falling down, now you're losing your crown GAGA corruption, seduction DADA revulsion, disruption GAD nobody made you King of the World GAGA all the lies, alibis DADA can't apologize, no disguise GAD you can't be the King of the World GAGA dishonesty, hostility DADA hypocrisy, monstrosity GAGA neurotic, psychotic DADA chaotic, idiotic GAD how could you be the King of the World GAD you are not the King of the World ProTools 12, Faderport 8, Melodyne, JBL monitors, Novation UltraNova, Yamaha MX49, Stratocaster, Telecaster, Rickenbacker 12, Ovation 12, Vox VT20X amp

But the production is really nice - lots of tracks blended very nicely. i can tell you put a lot of effort into this. Very nice production!

This song has about 40 tracks. I may make a video of it. Last edited by Will Rockwell; 03/05/18 12:50 PM.

Really complex production that comes off very pleasing. Regarding the topic...I think that current events are a very proper subject, in any era... Thanks for posting it!

It's not a genre that typically falls into our playlists but we can both appreciate the talent and effort that went into it. It sounds HUGE on our monitors. Topical songs have been with us since time immemorial -- no issues here with it. 40 Tracks? J&B Janice on Spotify J&B Soundcloud J&B Website

Even his closest advisers are now on tranquilizers and his chief of staff says "This is God punishing me." In that context, this song is gentle.

As David says, the lyrics are hardly explosive ... and I for one enjoyed singing along on the title refrain. Very good. Robert
