Was watching CSI Tonight and heard a cool version of the old Tears For Fears 80s hit Mad World. Turns out it was on the soundtrack for Donnie Darko, a sci fi flick I missed but seems to have done very well on DVD. Being an 80s music guy, I found a UK dual CD release of the soundtrack that is just a great collection with some of my old favs like Echo and the Bunny Men. If any of you have seen the movie, let me know what you think. I’ll look around for it.<\/p>\n
Check out Michael Andrews version of Mad World. You have to download the whole album to get it off of Itunes but its worth it. Anyways, the words are still as good as nearly 20 years ago (ugh, has it been that long?).<\/p>\n
Gary Jules – Mad World<\/p>\n
All around me are familiar faces. Warn out places, warn out faces.
\nBright and early for the daily races, going nowhere, going nowhere.
\nTheir tears are filling up their glasses, no expression, no expression.
\nHide my head I want to drown my sorrow, no tomrrow, no tomorrow.
\nI 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.
\nI find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take.
\nWhen people run in circles it’s a very very mad world…
\nmad world…
\nChildren waiting for the day they feel good, happy birthday happy birthday.
\nAnd I feel the way that every child should, sit and listen, sit and listen.
\nWent to school school and I was very nervous, noone knew me, noone knew me.
\nHello teacher what’s my lesson, look right through me, look right through me.
\nI find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad. The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had.
\nI find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take. When people run in circles it’s a very very mad world…
\nmad world…
\nenlarging your world…
\nmad world…<\/p>\n
Too bad about the copyright police. I’d love to play it on the podcast. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
