World Meltdown Theme Song

This version of the classic song, Come Undone, is, in my opinion, the best version ever performed. Listening to the words about the breakup of a intensely physical relationship mirrors the breakup going on right now between the Western extravagant lifestyle of bureaucrats, central banks, and elites, from decent society.
One partner went horribly into the direction of ethnocentric pursuit of self gratification using deception and trickery to disguise cheating at the expense of the other hard working honest partner. And so it is, our government parasites and followers lived for decades on the hard work and borrowed money of other more productive members of society. When the full impact of the betrayal is known to the hard working people of the world there will never be a safe place for the parasites.

Below is the official version of the song.
“Come Undone” is the second single from the album Duran Duran (The Wedding Album) by British band Duran Duran, and is their twenty-fourth single overall.
With their commercial and critical success reestablished by the previous single “Ordinary World”, “Come Undone” continued to showcase more of the band’s entry into the Adult Contemporary genre. The single proved to be the group’s second consecutive US top ten hit from The Wedding Album. It was also popular in the UK and other international markets.
The group’s guitarist at the time, Warren Cuccurullo, is credited with developing the instrumentation for “Come Undone”, most importantly its guitar hook, which he developed while trying to do a re-interpretation of “First Impression” from their 1990 album Liberty. In 2005, Cuccurullo revealed to author Steve Malins that he and Nick Rhodes had originally planned on using the song for a project outside of Duran Duran with Gavin Rossdale, but had changed plans when singer Simon Le Bon took a liking to the music and began to come up with lyrics on the spot.[1] The song was included as a last minute addition to their self-titled album in 1993, with the lyrics being written by Le Bon as a gift for his wife, Yasmin.
The group’s bassist, John Taylor, did not actually play bass on this track, although he does in the music video. Nick Rhodes and John Jones both contributed synth bass on the track during his absence. Tessa Niles was credited with backing vocals. The song also contains a sample from The Soul Searchers’ song “Ashley’s Roachclip”.
According to John Jones, “at the time we had completed and mastered the Wedding Album and had started the cover album “Thank You”. One day we took the drum loop and bass groove from a demo of mine called “Face to Face” and added the ultra cool guitar riff that Warren had come up with for a new “cover” version of “First Impression”. After a couple of hours of tweaking we played the track over the phone to Capitol in Los Angeles and they loved it and said they wanted it on the Wedding album! When Nick arrived that afternoon the intro was carved into a song that we played to Simon that night. He was back the next day with the lyrics and the melody and I think we finished the vocals the day after that. On the fourth day we finished the track detail and sent it to David Richards in Switzerland to be mixed. “Come Undone” was also a song by Karen Hendrix and myself from the late 1980s. There is a cover version of it out there called “Cloud 9″ by Alan Frew”.
