Ruler Of Everything (James LeBlanc)

If you don't know already, I was asked to contribute to We Think We're Playing In A Band," a fan album created in celebration of the 10th anniversary of Tally Hall's "Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum." This was my contribution. The full album can be found at wethinkwereplayinginaband.bandcamp.com The whole collab is truly incredible, I highly recommend you buy it. All proceeds go to a children’s hospital in Michigan chosen by the Tallies themselves.

I feel so honored to see my art used in this video! This is such a great cover!

[@AndRocProductions]

OOF! I forgot, I changed my DeviantArt page to 'marionette-quintet' now!

[@JamesHLMusic]

Updated!

[@AndRocProductions]

James LeBlanc Thank you very much!

[@AndRocProductions]

***** yeah! thank you!

[@normalperson9827]

I like your art

[@pok3fan12]

I really like that you decided to throw 13 in at the beginning

[@grayanddevpdx]

Who doesn’t?

[@alu2901]

The song would basically be incomplete without it.

[@Rossilaz58]

13 is basically part of Ruler of Everything

[@pileofsaltOG]

I've literally never heard Ruler of Everything without it so I had no idea what this comment meant for a sec lol

[@smugscribbles6667]

Your voice is caramel smooth can we hold hands

[@rarecrom]

THIS IS SO AMAZING YOU REALLY CAPTURED THE ESSENCE OF THIS SONG!

[@Oxidized]

By far the best piece on the entire album.. Fantastic job!

[@JamesHLMusic]

+Oxidized Gaming To say it's the best on the album is a stretch, I was truly blown away by Skye's, Bowman's, Marcy's, Gary's, Merced's, and especially Maral's contributions.

[@zombeeman9040]

I had no idea this existed. Thanks for doing a great cover of my favorite song by my favorite band.

[@perfidiousprophet]

best song

[@haxzie8644]

You're in everything tally hall related

[@nickg5341]

Love the sample of the grandfather clock chime at the beginning!

[@mossyavarchives]

You actually got the Rap part down
That's an accomplishment

[@krasotabella9675]

THIS IS SO GOOD IM LOOSING IT

[@benrytheman1314]

When it takes me 5 years to find a good cover of a good song

[@lion_oil]

Dude you rocked it.

[@Sumautisticguy]

You had a deep voice for rule of everything nice

[@soni.a_07]

Juno was mad, he knew he'd been had
So he shot at the sun with a gun
Shot at the sun with a gun
Shot at his wily one only friend
In the gallows or the ghetto
In the town or the meadow
In the billows even over the sun
Every end of the time is another begun
You understand mechanical hands
Are the ruler of everything (ah)
Ruler of everything (ah)
I'm the ruler of everything in the end
Do you like how I dance? I've got zirconium pants
Consequential enough to slip you into a trance
Do you like how I walk? Do you like how I talk?
Do you like how my face disintegrates into chalk?
I have a wonderful wife, I have a powerful job
She criticizes me for being egocentric
You practice your mannerisms into the wall
If this mirror were clearer, I'd be standing so tall
I saw you slobber over clovers on the side of the hill
I was observing the birds (circle in for the kill)
I've been you, I know you, your facade is a scam
You know you're making me cry, this is the way that I am
I've been living a lie, a metamorphical scheme
Detective undercover, brotherhood, objective, obscene
Oh, no, no, oh yeah
Do you hear the flibbity jibbity jibber jabber
With an, "Oh my God, I've got to get out of here or I'll have another
Word to sell, another story to tell
Another time piece ringing the bell"
Do you hear the clock stop when you reach the end?
No, you know it must be never ending, comprehend if you can
But when you try to pretend to understand
You resemble a fool, although you're only a man
So give it up and smile
Do you hear the flibbity jibbity jibber jabber
With an, "Oh my God, I've got to get out of here or I'll have another
Word to sell, another story to tell
Another time piece ringing the bell"
Do you hear the clock stop when you reach the end?
No, you know it must be never ending, comprehend if you can
But when you try to pretend to understand
You resemble a fool although you're only a man
So give it up and smile
You understand mechanical hands
Are the ruler of everything (ah)
Ruler of everything (ah)
I'm the ruler of everything
In the end
Without looking down, gliding around
Like a bumbling dragon, I fly
Scraping my face on the sky
Oh, no, no, oh, yeah

Dw we know

[@emcrectangled]

2:44 holy shit this part is awesome

[@regret_huh]

The beginning sounds like something out of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (not the 2009 version).

[@29485webp]

I like the voice you gave time

[@lukedoglt]

5 years later later but just gotta say this is a very good cover, very nice

[@snovaspectre2]

This is so good!!

[@shinobiblake3807]

[@bassafratz]

I *wuv* YOOOOOOOOU!!!!!!!

[@29485webp]

[@mcdonaldmilkshake5226]

Sounds Amazing!

[@MediumOranges1352]

Amazing cover!

[@anthonygraves3297]

I am Doing a Podcast for School and I was wondering if I could use this? won't be making any money but would like to show people Tally Hall Covers. and yours Rocks!!!

[@shags1130]

Yo this is great

[@sch_ilis9928]

the guy with the deeper voice sounds like kind of an old man and I think that's an interesting take.

[@JamesHLMusic]

The guy with the deeper voice is just me, I slowed those parts of the recording down to make it sound like that.

[@Wordsmythologic]

This rendition is phenomenal. Though, I do have a few question about the album. Who put it together? If I'd known about it, I'd have tried to submit my version of Spring and a Storm. If there's any possibility of a 5 year anniversary album for Good & Evil, I'd be eager to submit something for it. Also, do you have any midi files for this song? I've been meaning to put together a cover of it, but I'm not the best at transcribing music by ear.

[@JamesHLMusic]

+Wordsmythologic It was put together on tallyhallofshame.com - and I don't believe there's a midi for Ruler of Everything but I could probably make one really easily and send it to you.

[@GeminiEntropic]

do you have any idea what happened to the THOS website? @@JamesHLMusic

[@zirconium2014]

[@thatghostyboi9801]

Love this remix!

[@imaginaryChannelTechnique]

Now this is true happiness

[@RealRoseus]

This is amazing I honestly think I might love this more than the original :o

[@aladvs]

we do a little trolling

[@anasasiajcrowe]

this sounds like a demo track

[@JamesHLMusic]

To be fair I made it in a college dorm and Tally Hall had an actual recording studio

[@pixel27isnow]

Nice man.

[@chameleon1835]

Your voice is smooth as fuck bro, great cover

[@cathacker13]

[@TheGoodDoctor049]

Your singing reminds me of Andrew
This is a really good cover!

[@Kuriboh1008]

You kept 13

[@spiritofchaos58]

I honestly love this more than the original

[@sch_ilis9928]

[@faithsupport4023]

🐕hi James (you don't have to do a Q&A video but) do you think your a good person? if so do you think there's an afterlife? also i'm not better than anybody else

[@mikedoesthings2134]

Why did you put a completely unrelated song at the beginning?

[@mikedoesthings2134]

Jokes aside this cover’s amazing.

[@yupa7813]

I mean the song would sound incomplete without 13!

[@JamesHLMusic]

13 is not an unrelated song. On the original tally hall album it serves as an intro to this song.

[@mikedoesthings2134]

@@JamesHLMusic that is the joke, I even commented under this “jokes aside”
