Duran Duran - Ordinary World (Jody Cooper Acoustic Cover Video)

Duran Duran have some great pop songs. But, when I first heard "Ordinary World", it really put them into another league for me. Although the song is supposed to be about the fall from fame, as a musician in the middle of a pandemic I've found it's taken on a whole new meaning. To all my fellow artists out there who are struggling to survive, this one's for you.

Great playing and your voice is perfect for this, my favorite, Duran Duran song. Thanks for posting!

[@jodycoopermusic]

Thanks Sammy! Yes, it's my favourite song of theirs too 🤗 Hope you have a great weekend!

This song has absolutely nothing to do with the fall from fame. Simon LeBon wrote it about the suicide death of his best friend in 1986. He's talking about the grief, shock, and loss he experienced after the death of his friend. He's remembering his friend, talking to him about how he's feeling, and trying to find his way back to an ordinary world that doesn't include a lifetime friend he loved like a brother.

I stand corrected. It just goes to show you can't believe everything you read on the internet 😉 That makes much more sense to me and gives it even more meaning. Thank you for the correction 🙂

Nice version. Loved your vocals, it's a hard song to perform, when it comes to keep the deep meaning of the lyrics. Congratulations.

Thanks! 😊 It's always been my favourite Duran Duran song. Of course, I didn't know back then when I first heard it what it was all about...

[@hahohihi4753]

Please share chords here

[@wilmuth]

Ajustar os meios tons, de passagens, para não semitonar....... porem queria ter sua voz para cantar.

[@stringman509]

Chords please

[@jodycoopermusic]

Difficult to do because of the different chord shapes but here you go: Intro & chorus - B5 (play all 5 strings) / F#m7 ( I play this F# with thumb and open E) / Dsus2 / Asus2 (C# in bass) / E5 (play all 6 strings) - repeat chords and then replace E5 with Cadd9b5 (you can miss out b5 if necessary and just play Cadd9). Verse: C#m7 (open chord version on 4th fret) / E5 (play all 6 strings) - F#5 (7th fret open chord version - play all 5 strings) - play chords 4 times (every 2nd chord cycle I stick in an open F#7add4 but not necessary) / Bridge: C#m7 / G#m / D#7 / E5 (play all 5 strings).
Hope that helps! :)

[@NobodysGh0sT]

No no no no no. Nah. Just nope. Ouch dude. That's enough torture for this former Scrantonite!

[@a95569]
