I was in a store the other day and they were playing Pompeii. I was really confused for a few minutes because I knew the lyrics but the music was all wrong! that's what I get for listening to this mashup too often.
Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o [x8] I was left to my own devices Many days fell away with nothing to show And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Great clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above But if you close your eyes, I feel it in my bones Enough to make my system blow (But if you close your eyes) Welcome to the new age, to the new age Welcome to the new age, to the new age Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive (but if you close your eyes) Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes, Does it almost feel like You've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? We were caught up and lost in all of our vices I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones Enough to make my system blow Welcome to the new age, to the new age Welcome to the new age, to the new age Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh…(fades out) Oh where do we begin? The rubble or our sins? Oh oh where do we begin? The rubble or our sins? (Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o fades in slowly) I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones Enough to make my system blow Welcome to the new age, to the new age Welcome to the new age, to the new age Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o [x4]
Love how even the lyrics seem to be competing against each other! One is about remembering to see how much is the same in the world, while the other is about eagerly moving forward to new things with life. It's basically a conversation between a stubborn cynic and a confident futurist. "But if you _close your eyes..._ Does it almost feel like *nothing changed at all?"* "I feel it _in my bones,_ enough to make my system blow! *Welcome to the new age!"*
Amalin Guyuiuu Found it on Tumblr. No surprise there. ;) I've done covers of both of these too, if ya'll wanna check out my channel. emilyloo-whoo1005.tumblr.com/post/124648429824/flannelssnapbacksandvans-ayesurfsup
Alright, since you all have been asking, here's what I used. No, it's not Dan Smith. Sorry. Again. Sorry. Everyone seems to be up in arms about this one haha. It's this Acapella: th-cam.com/video/Zhpt6qapVrc/w-d-xo.html I'm not sure who the vocalist is. Here's the Radioactive instrumental used for the backing: th-cam.com/video/UUjSRP1G2iM/w-d-xo.html Aaaand last but not least, I used the original MP3 of radioactive. Stay frosty lads and lasses!

I wish you had known the vocalists name when you posted the video link to them years ago. That video has been gone for a long time now because the account associated with it was terminated :/ I never got to see it. I've always wondered who you used for the main singing part. This is my favorite version of both songs btw! :)
This. This is SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE BEST MASHUP I EVER HERED EVER IN THE WORLD. the beats aline with each other if the music switch up on them it would not matter. the words of each could go with pompii or radioctive
The first time I discovered Imagine Dragons, I was at a sleep over with my friend, we turned on my CD player, and she turned it to radioactive. Shout out to Zoie, if it wasn't for you, I would've never found my favorite band. :)
first time for me, I was burning with a fever and heard "its time"...they said the band name and song...so I crawled to the edge of my bed and wrote it down on a pack of gum. I've been hooked since.
Try to breath in the chemical, welcome to the new age ^^ perhaps you're radioactive? wait.. does it almost feel like nothing changed at all? i mean how are you going to be an optimist about this? do you feel in in you bones? is it enough to make you system flow? i think your radioactive :S
The bpm of the songs is a little off (pompeii chorus with radioactive background is what stuck out a little), but the two songs actually mesh pretty well--I liked it.
It feels like I'm discovering Imagine Dragons for the first time again
Pompeii Flaws or things we lost in the fire radioactive and monster would be a great mashup
Radioactive Monster XD
GeekSqueak Moar like "It's Time to Ready Aim Fire at Radioactive Demon Monsters"
IAncab7 o_o
ahh yeah bro that whas the best day of my life it introduced me to modern music
Like button? Is there a "This is the Best Fucking Song in the Existence of Ever" button?
ha gayy
Fero Dusk Do you even know what "gay" means? (I'll give you a hint: It doesn't mean stupid)
EternalPanda3151 this would imply you are calling yourself stupid, and this song is the shizz
Fero Dusk Lemme make it modernized for you. "ha happyy"
***** calling someone a homosexual is not an insult, you freaking moron.
I had a huge smile on my face through this entire thing! This is so amazing! Thank you so much for combining two of my favorite bands!
You're very welcome! I really enjoyed making it!
toddy2cool plz put this on itunes
I was actually about to laugh because it's just so damn good...and conflicting... but amazing
I was in a store the other day and they were playing Pompeii. I was really confused for a few minutes because I knew the lyrics but the music was all wrong! that's what I get for listening to this mashup too often.
This is the only somewhat "version " of Pompei I ever heard for years so to me this is the correct song Haha
This mashup reflects the meaning of Pompeii, whereas the music of Pompeii is cheery. This is brilliant :D
leafyet you have blown my mind
I think Bastille's version was 'look how peaceful they are in death, whereas this version is 'holy shit imagine dying that way'
As a quick heads-up, this is becoming Tumblr-famous. You have been warned :)
I've seen this on Tumblr before this video was even uploaded 😂
I'm so sorry, but I need to make this joke.
No, Pompeii is volcanic!
LOLOLOLOL YES!!! That sound like something that I would say
Maybe this is a radioactive city that caused the explosion
I hail from the land of Tumblr. Your work has been praised. I bid you a good day and a good job.
Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o [x8]
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my system blow (But if you close your eyes)
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive (but if you close your eyes)
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my system blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh…(fades out)
Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
Oh oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
(Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o fades in slowly) I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my system blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o [x4]
Plumper Do Thanks for that
WHERE WAS THIS ALL MY LIFE OMG??
My ears just died and went to heaven. This is amazing.
I was thinking,"I wish someone would make a Imagine Dragons and Bastille" mashup and BAMB! YOU ANSWERED MY PRAYERS!
The Pompeii parts are a cover (I think) but it works really well.
Yeah, it’s a cover. There’s no British accent.
***** Excuse my ignorance
This is easily the most epic thing I have ever experienced.
ALL THE AWARDS
yes to Pompeiidioactive :)

"But if you _close your eyes..._ Does it almost feel like *nothing changed at all?"*
"I feel it _in my bones,_ enough to make my system blow! *Welcome to the new age!"*
Wow. I have always wondered what these two songs would sound like mashed up together, and now I know. This sounds amazing. Keep up the great work.
THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING EVER
OH MY GOD THIS IS AWESOME. WHAT DID YOU DOD THIS IS MAGIC
