Pentatonix - Pompeii Lyrics






Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu

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
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 going to be an optimist about this?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?

Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu

But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?

Pentatonix Pompeii Comments
  1. S.... o....

    6 years and I still don't know why the songs called Pompeii

  2. M.... ....

    Lmao I just got recommended this

  3. B.... V....

    Most of the comment I’m seeing are of people being bothered by patrons being bothered this was posted, but I can’t find the comments where the patrons are bothered 😂

  4. F.... K....

    Wait!? Is he wearing a shirt for women?

  5. F.... ....

    Avi never ceases to amaze me

  6. C.... Q....

    If this is what they can throw together in 30 minutes, imagine what they could do with this song with two or three weeks of preparation

  7. R.... ....

    The real Pentaholics are the ones who don't gripe about the patron/money thing and are just enjoying the music.



    And yet I'm probably not one myself because I only listen for Avi >3>;

  8. S.... K....

    why give scott the lead if it's so high? he's mostly shouting, Mitch or Kirstie would have been way more suitable to sing the lead

    S.... K....

    his voice wouldve probably suited the song more plus most notes mitch and kirstie are singing are higher than what scott's singing

  9. O.... C....

    The mans got a voice of an angel

  10. k.... v....

    I got the chills listening to this song cause it was so bad

  11. W.... ....

    I like the 2 guys in the bottom


    (sorry for bad english, maybe)

  12. A.... B....

    2018 anyone

  13. c.... n....

    this is can be a cool ringtone

  14. t.... w....

    Was great but I feel that basitilles accent is better for the song the style. This sounds a bit to American and loses the flow of the song.

  15. R.... H....

    Being a Bastile fan. This is quite good. The orginal is still better though.

  16. J.... H....

    Is it just me or are they being horribly out of tune? I usually love PTX covers but this one sounds actually pretty bad :/

  17. M.... C....

    😑😕

  18. H.... X....

    wait why only almost gotta be 2 minutes damn! I want more, We love you too and I am so happy that I came to this family because of their talents and all I hope they okay, I love seeing them happy like I wanna smile so well

  19. B.... M....

    terrible song cover ever the melody is bad

  20. T.... M....

    kirstin looks like Anna from Frozen

  21. D.... Y....

    so good

  22. G.... K....

    Absolutely beautiful. The best music in HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!

  23. M.... C....

    This is too upbeat, ruined the song

  24. C.... B....

    Skørter det skejes lykkelig for Lomborg er alene og har været til det her telefonnummer Please og det

  25. M.... D....

    thank you so much for posting this <3

  26. C.... ....

    Patrons? HA!

  27. F.... N....

    Congratulations, I'm fauze.

    All of you are unique and please record this song was very good I believe everyone liked it

  28. V.... S....

    If people PAID for only seeing this stuff, then that's sad. I hope there are only Pentaholics who are Patreons. Thanks for uploading this, but is Pentatonix okay with this? It was posted on the Patreon page, and you posted it, but it didn't get blocked?! I'm confused... I can't decide whter it's a good thing you posted it or a bad thing, but that's only because I don't know if it's OK with Pentatonix. If it is, I'm fine with it then! It's so sad that some Patreons are sad because they paid for this. I hope they didn't only pay for the perks.

  29. G.... t....

    im very love youuuu!!!! all

  30. S.... o....

    Omg I love it

  31. B.... C....

    "Patrons paid to watch this but you just completely ruined it by uploading it that was a waste of money!!!!" Patrons paid to watch every fucking music video for singles but look! Pentatonix uploaded those too! Oh no what a waste of money!!!!! (Notice the sarcasm and shade)

    B.... C....

    If you became a Patron for the perks only, it's very sad...
    You've had the privilege to watch this first, as you have the privilege to interact with them on their livestreams.
    The fans who CAN'T be Patrons for various reasons are still fans and are happy to have news as well.
    And Pentaholics are a Family, fortunately some Patrons still remember this!

    B.... C....

    PTX EUROPE I know, I'm not a patron, but I posted this comment because there are lots of comments saying you "ruined" this by uploading it when it was "only for patrons"

  32. A.... B....

    You should do the full version of Pompeii

    A.... B....

    I agree, this was really good! I recently made a video for Wild World using the Bastille song "Warmth" if you are interested in checking it out on my channel. :)

  33. B.... T....

    Avi and Kevin did the same dancing thing almost every time

  34. E.... M....

    Amazing as always ❤️

  35. K.... L....

    Guys guys guys guys!!!! I'm the 666th comment.....

  37. K.... B....

  38. M.... V....

    This song has a really good meaning in deep.

  44. S.... K....

    I didn't enjoy this at all... maybe I just love the original too much but this hurt to listen to.

    S.... K....

  45. G.... B....

    OMFG! WHEN KEVIN SINGS!!! I LOVE HIS VOICE!!!!!

  46. I.... ....

    I love this song sooo much!! These guys could have messed it up for me real bad... That is, if they were anyone else

  47. C.... H....

    I didn't now the black guy could sing; I thought he only beatboxed.

  48. H.... H....

    when Kevin sang at the end tho

  49. B.... G....

    wow amazing singing thank you I hope you a good day
    ...lol. bye

  50. a.... m....

    KEVIN'S SOLO HAS ME GONNNEEEE

  51. G.... i....

    Avi's eyes are so captivating

  52. K.... ....

    This is the first video I have watched in 2017

  53. A.... ....

    I find it funny how the top half of Scott's shirt looks like it's not there! He looks like he's wearing a really low tank top.😂

  54. s.... d....

    Avi at 0:16....

  55. e.... ....

    1:34 I didn't expect that Kevin was going to sing, but SLAY!

  56. C.... ....

    Me: *takes weeks to write a song and sounds horrible*
    Pentatonix: hey guy here's something we just threw together in half an hour *sounds like heaven*

  57. Z.... 0....

    Thank you to whoever posted this. I'm no a patron but I do love Pentatonix. It's because of you that I get the chance to watch this. I don't know why everyone is angry!

  60. i.... y....

  63. A.... C....

  73. B.... I....

    422 dislikes from all the Bastille fans, lmao...Scott ain't Dan Smith and Avi just pissed me off. At the end of the song they were off, and the "Eh eh oh eh oh." was repulsive....😲😫😫😫😩

  74. M.... F....

    Boo!!!!! 😑😑😑😑🔇🔇

  75. F.... O....

    Abis napas

  76. P.... S....

    Everyone is posting angry comments, and I understand why you would be angry. I know that paying money to see this and here it is free can be aggravating. I get it, I do.



    And then there is me over here:
    Hey! That's the same thing that Scott wore in the La La Latch video!

    P.... S....

    Painted Sloth LMAO I NOTICED THAT TOO

  77. T.... B....

    Absolutely awful
    How to kill a great song

  78. I.... l....

    My favorite singers

  79. E.... F....

    0:21 everyone's face!

  80. N.... N....

    Kristie smiled at the beginning! Super sweet 😍

  81. C.... T....

    I have one word. No

  82. M.... K....

    Wow. I come down to the comments hoping to see some funny stuff about Scott's lyrics or how amazing Kevin is. What I get is so many people yelling how uploading this is wrong because patrons pay for this. I'm not a patron, because I have no money. Trust me, I would be a patron if I could. I'd love to infact! I would be more than happy to give monetary support to my 5 favorite humans. But when you get reduced price lunch at school and buy all of your clothes on half price day at the thrift store, you don't spend money on a band that already has plenty of paying (and angry) supporters. If you're a patron just for the perks, you're missing the point of being a patron. You do it to support the band, so they give you this video as a thank you. The Pentatonix that I know and love wouldn't get as mad as some of these patrons because this video has been seen about 1 Million times by their loyal, but not as financially secure fans. Reminder that Pentatonix haven't always had money. Scott spent his last few dollars flying Kevin out for the Sing Off. I think that he would understand our struggle.

    Now for the comments I wanted to see.
    ·Thanks for uploading this!
    ·Haha, Scott reading the lyrics off of his phone gives me LIFE
    ·They just THREW this together, huh? This amazing masterpiece?!?!?!
    ·Kevin, you cute little potato. Your voice is like heaven.
    ·Slay, Mitchie.
    ·Kirstin is sooooo beautiful and her harmonies are on POINT
    ·Avriel, don't look you at he with those handsone eyes. You know what it does to me.

    M.... K....

    I understand that not everybody can afford to do patreon, but the idea is that patrons are supposed to get perks. If the perks are then shared with everyone else, what's the point in paying for it?

  83. b.... f....

    I love you so much

  84. A.... C....

    omg this comment section is sad lmao

    so much anger on such a positive video, what's going on? let's all just smile and show support for these 5 kawaii potatoes

    A.... C....

    finally an honest/positive comment... ^-^

  85. K.... S....

    This is pretty fucking baller

  86. M.... K....

    kirstin, you're such an angel :*

  87. D.... J....

    The guy on the bottom left has the deepest fucking voice ever

  88. E.... F....

    Guys you should do dollhouse by melanie martinez.

  89. M.... J....

    Is Scott looking at the lyrics on his phone ???

    M.... J....

    Yep😝

  90. u.... ....

    OMG KIRSTIES SMILE AT THE END ASDF'SKSKSJSMPLQWERUWYTQEJNHHU

  91. R.... B....

    You guys did amazing! As always

  92. J.... C....

    panatonix great sounds i wonder if you guys could sing granade by bruno mars would love to hear how it would sound . big fan

  93. C.... L....

    probably going to get murdered in the comments for this but this was sloppy and not one of their best, they definitely don't do the song justice

    C.... L....

    +Cameran Lyon As Scott says in the beginning, they "threw it together in 30 minutes", so it's a great illustration of how hard they have to work to sound as good as they do. I liked it, although I do think it would be awesome to see how much better it could be if they polished it some more...

    C.... L....

    +Talezassian oh yeah, if they put more time I to it, it would be so much better

    C.... L....

    Yeah, it's not at all polished. But it's sooo good, considering it was arranged in ONLY 30 minutes!!!! Pretty impressive. Imagine if they had 45 minutes 😉

  94. A.... W....

    Soooo good!

  95. M.... J....

    you guys rock balls 🙊

  96. L.... C....

    Hmm.. Patreons already paid to see this first. It's one of their perks. I'm sure PTX would love for all their fans to see 'em too, though late (especially for people who can't afford to be a patreon YET). Peace and Love all Pentaholics!

  97. L.... H....

    Damn it!!!! I'm in love with the boy in the middle and the beatboxer!!!! 😍😍

  98. A.... F....

    AMAZING!
