Who knows that song, and what do you think about it? It's the only song I've heard so far by Gary Jules, and I have to say that I love it so much! It's just such a beautiful song, I like the lyrics, even though they're pretty sad, but very often, the most touching songs are sad... Musically it's very simple, but simply beautiful. And I like Gary Jules' voice, it's very soft... Mad World All around me are familiar faces Worn out places Worn out faces Bright and early for the daily races Going no where Going no where Their tears are filling up their glasses No expression No expression Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow No tomorrow No tomorrow And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take When people run in circles its a very very Mad world Mad world Children waiting for the day they feel good Happy birthday Happy birthday And I feel the way that every child should Sit and listen Sit and listen Went to school and I was very nervous No one knew me No one knew me Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson Look right through me Look right through me And I find I kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take When people run in circles its a very very Mad world Mad world Enlarging your world Mad world
I like that song, it was very powerful in Donnie Darko. Might even listen to it now, just to get bittersweet, y'know?
Very nice song...A little bit sad .... Always when I hear it I remember that Donnie Darko....Really strange film.......So the song too.....but good!!!
Oh, I didn't know it was a cover... I didn't know it was in Donnie Darko either, cause I never saw that movie, actually.
I really love this song. I like the Gary Jules version much better than Tears for Fears (bleah - 80s.. haha). The song fits perfectly into Donnie Darko, which is also a fantastic film. Mad world is a beautiful song, but sad!
Tears For Fears fucking kicked ass. But I do like Gary Jules's version as well. Even if it was in that God-awful movie Donnie Darko.
The song is really beautiful. I like the cover version better though, I'm not a big fan of Tears for Fears.
This was the UK christmas number one last year.. it knocked the Darkness and thier christmas single to number 2
i like this one very much. the first time I heard it in "Donnie Darko" i thought whoa is that REM??? lol. but yeah sad sad song. love it.
