Picture a person wearing a mask of happiness joy and excitement, take of that mask and reveal a dark broken soul filled with hatred, anger, depression, and deep sorrow. A mind that has given up hope on itself. The hoplessness of this life and you get this song
listen some days i feel exactly the same but to get out of that slump you have to look for positives. Think of it like this a huge battle in your subconscious one side the good and one the bad you gotta help the good man.
I have learned this - To Conquer you must Live in spite of every thing that tries to hold you down. You MUST live to spite the evil that haunts you and hunt down good... Wrestle the angel for the blessing... hold on to HOPE, and you will succeed YOU WILL LOVE AND LIVE!
This is a very powerful song, even if you don't really pay much attention to it, it FEELS powerful. It will always have a soft spot on my heart. RIP Dom Santiago.
This song hit me between the eyes TWICE. First time I heard it was as part of a TV ad for the video game *_Gears of War,_* and I was so blown away with it I had to go find it. When I found the Gary Jules cover I didn't know it was a cover. I'd thought it was their composition and I was like boy did he nail the overall feel of the lyrics. Then about 15 years later I find out that it was written by Curt Smith and Roland Orizabal, and I felt embarrassed. I was in my late 20s when Tears for Fears hit it big in the U.S., and I had no idea "Mad World" was their composition -- because it never got any airplay in the U.S. where I lived. When I found that out I was REALLY floored, and listened to their version. It was more frenetic and tense, which wouldn't be out of place for a "mad world;" but I felt like the Jules/Matthews version really nailed the dark mood of the lyrics, and that version has always stuck with me. It's haunting, sad, and beautiful all at once -- and it really reaches deep down into my heart and soul.
@@chrise404 Same here. Had I known it was written by Orzabal & Smith and heard the original version I might not have been so hyped up about Jules's version; but since this was my first exposure to the song I was blown away and had to have it.
shit didn't read all of your comment and thought you meant at 2:00 in song even though it still fits with what you're saying.WAIT DID YOU MEAN THAT!!?!?!????!?!?!!??!?
+Mikey Herczeg Haha, no just the whole song reminds me of walking around Walmart in the middle of the night. I think I'm going to edit my comment though, lol.
I used to hear people use it as a meme so I used it to. Today is the first day I’ve actually heard the full song and how it’s sung it’s actually a beautiful song with a meaning. I love this song 💕✨
@@norrie2460 the original was sung by tears for tears in the 80s and holds different connations because it's less depressing than this version XD This version is way better in my optimo on though :)
@@marquisdehoto1638 There's many songs that has deep lyrics in a happier melody. It's normal and you can see better the opposition, like it's meant to be designed that way
To everyone who's having a hard time, I wish you get all the love, happiness in this world Remember to be kind on yourself, this is just a cycle. Lots of love to y'all
Love you back. I think love is the only reason everyone is alive at this moment...let's not waste it. Gotta keep sharing it with those who don't have it or are blinded by their pain to know or do any better than what they do. 💚🙏🏿💚
Today would of been my mom's 58th birthday she passed away in 2018 after battling cancer for three years we use to listen to oldies songs this is one of her favorites Happy birthday in heaven mom rest in peace we love and miss you until we meet again.
One of the most profound songs ever written. I hope my family finds this to play when I’m gone. I am not thinking morbid thoughts, I just appreciate the profound aspect of this.
Everyone puts a mask on their faces and everyone around them thinks everything is fine.But when they are alone their real face shows.They are truly tired of the people around them and are tired of life.They can't find meaning in their life.They are just,tired of living in such world
There's a sort of calmness I feel with this song that I don't get with many other songs. This song exudes an eerie feeling of blending into the crowd with everyone else but not wanting to and being incapable of standing out because you're too afraid of being perceived negatively. The worst part is not knowing if that feeling will ever go away.
Am I the only one that came from the legendary Granny 5: Time to wake up, this is so good, I'm in love with Granny 5, great story it even has animations with these kind of little songs wich nornally Granny games don't have, I love that, unique!!
@F G-L I know it's been a month since you commented, but I'm so sorry you're feeling that way. If you're feeling depressed, try calling the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. I've felt like that a few times throughout my life too. I know it might feel like everything is dark, as if there will never be any hope for you. You might think that there's no point in talking to anyone, because no one really cares about you. It might seem like there's no reason to keep on living. But there are always some things in life that are meaningful. Even just the chirping of birds, or the sight of a sunrise, or the sound of your favorite song can be beautiful. Life doesn't have to be miserable--you always have a chance to feel better if you try. The first step is to tell someone how you feel. It could be anyone--you can talk to your parents or friends, or you can call the Suicide Lifeline I mentioned. I know opening up to someone can seem impossible, but it's the biggest relief when you do it. There are so many people out there who would be willing to listen if you asked. If you want, you can just talk to me in these comments--I'll do my best to listen and not to judge Hope this helps
@@mrar716 I will do my best just miss My Spouse and my Mom both wore my support system passed away is hard both died also feel dead with them my family hardly know I'm Suicidal .
***** I have been neglecting my notifications and I missed this heartfelt, lovely, but sad message. I would be so thrilled to talk to you, anytime. I can't believe how much we have in common, it's scary, I could have written your post, that's how much you sound like me. I am so sorry to hear that you have been through so much.
For those wondering, this is a cover song. The original is by Tears for Fears band who had hits such as Everybody Wants To Rule The World and Shout. I find it sad because nobody knows about the original song, which is much more upbeat and makes you want to dance yet have an episodic cry. "One could perceive the original video in many ways, but I perceive Curt as being the mind and Roland being the face/body of someone who lives with depression/anxiety. Curt reflects on his own feelings and anxieties from behind the walls, while Roland dances and plays outside for the world to see"
It should be like that, since it sounds way better than the original. The tempo and whole integration with the lyrics just fits much better together. No wonder it sits in top 5-10 of the saddest song by many respected tops.
It really is a very mad world. People killing each other for glory and power and money. Kids being angry because their parents won'r get them some expensive shit they want while children their age in other countries are soldiers, or starving, or they don't even have families or maybe all three and more. People talk shit about my generation (im 17) while we came to this world and all we see around us is injustice and people being unfair and cruel. Thank god I have good people in my life (family, friends) or else I don't even know where I would be this day.
Absolutely adore the movie. Recently watched it again with my fiance's family. Had to explain the ending since I knew they would be stumped~ I'm still looking for a chance to tell people about the beauty of the words, "Cellar door."
This was my bestfriends favorite song, I've recently started listening to it a lot lately. She committed suicide and it makes me feel like she's around... ;(
aww i'm so sorry thats so sad may she rest in peace. i have a twin sister who has been feeling pretty suicidal and i don't know what i'd do if she did kill herself. i'm sure she's there with you and that she hopes you find comfort in this song. Maybe this happened because it's supposed to show you that you're strong enough to overcome this. I'll send love your way.
Sometimes when im sad, i immagine that i've got a secret island and i can visit it whenever i want. I stay there for a couple of months living in peace in a house very close to the ocean that i built out of bamboo. It has a little net between 2 palm trees and when it's a sunny day i lay there lookin to the ocean. Then i come back to "Earth" and realize how sad i am again.
me too when I'm depressed or just sad I imagine a world without me. I venture off into a world with no people. where I can do anything as I please. I'm gald someone else understands. the same things I just said pops up in a anime called erased. the story has beutiful storylines and anything can happen when you least expect it. the anime is heart touching and very sad but it always makes you think. it kinda challenges you to foreshadow what's gonna happen next. I hope everyone has a great day and feels safe and happy around loved ones ☺✌
+Alec Haldeman This version is a cover too. Maybe you know, but this conversation is leading on like this is the original, which it is not. The original is done by Tears For Fears. (its not nearly as good if you ask me, the original that is)
it’s my bithday and i’m alone but that’s okay because it’s been like this for years.. and that’s the crushing part… despair is closing in… faith and hope running low.. and i probably won’t make it to another pits stop, thank you ❤
There is no purpose to my life it is meaningless. The feeling that this song brings is one that I feel every minute of every day. Dafuq is wrong with me?
My Mam always plays this song on the piano and I love it every time she plays it and I have almost memorised it and watching it with the words has helped me a lot
That moment when you live life. I was also nervous after the "vacations" (if you were to call being alone all time and bored to the end vacations or holidays) were over and anxious going to school again with all of the unnecessary stupid worries. After all, people really go on to your nerves or they don't care about you. So, they don't really deserve respect. The world is mad. Nobody truly cares about you in out of you. You have the duty to take care of yourself. Whatever went wrong in the past, never mind. Don't care about people. If they come too close to you and you feel annoyed or uncomfortable, you have to prevent it by not letting them get too close. Do what is morally justified and very appropriate. Anything else isn't much of importance.
To everyone who feels sad or hopeless, remember that it is ok to put some time aside to feel sad, whether it be with someone, or by yourself, just let your emotions out. People out in the world care about you, so don't give up, feel your emotions, and find someone who can help.
When everything looks dark, this song makes me feel I'm not alone. Painfully beautiful.
I like everything that looks dark and I like this song too.
remember, as Sid said: "behind every cloud there's a rainbow"
Picture a person wearing a mask of happiness joy and excitement, take of that mask and reveal a dark broken soul filled with hatred, anger, depression, and deep sorrow. A mind that has given up hope on itself. The hoplessness of this life and you get this song

The sound is better quality. I like this upload better.
times before the Meme Age
It should be like that, since it sounds way better than the original. The tempo and whole integration with the lyrics just fits much better together. No wonder it sits in top 5-10 of the saddest song by many respected tops.
Bodo Bobo Many respected "tops" haha
*Fuck you* *This comment is meant to be ironic* lol
It really is a very mad world.
People killing each other for glory and power and money.
Kids being angry because their parents won'r get them some expensive shit they want while children their age in other countries are soldiers, or starving, or they don't even have families or maybe all three and more.
People talk shit about my generation (im 17) while we came to this world and all we see around us is injustice and people being unfair and cruel. Thank god I have good people in my life (family, friends) or else I don't even know where I would be this day.
Not writing the post I bet buddy
sir much respect, love your face ,I want to kiss you (no homo)
wot
Emily Uzumaki I agree
yup this world is crazy
Thanks for uploading this song and lyrics. The words are so true for this world...
Am I the only one here from Donnie Darko? This is an amazing song, and I'm so glad I found out about it
Tabitha The Cat i knew the song before hand but i watched donnie darko and then it remembered it lol.
Right here 😁
Absolutely adore the movie. Recently watched it again with my fiance's family. Had to explain the ending since I knew they would be stumped~ I'm still looking for a chance to tell people about the beauty of the words, "Cellar door."
Classic movie, this song is a highlight
The movie and its soundtrack were both amazing.
This song has always been so painfully beautiful. I'll always come back and play this song.
When you stub your pinky toe

ikr

wolfy wlf omg same my sis had nobody
You have to take your life in your own hands. Don't let no one control your life except you cause it's yours and only you can change it. 😊💞
When al the comments begin with when
Don't look back you know what i mean
@@taravantieghem9475 yeah I know what you mean
kinda funny and kinda sad that your comment begins with "you have to take your life'
@@EJsacasa I didn't mean it that way.
@@bruhwhat6937 i know
This song reflects the world right now..sad and no future..😢
I cry every time and think about how my life can be a flop
+ʂαռʝαя ʂαяναʝαʟ thanks
Lol I have the same last name
Go to Icryeverytime . Com, thats where i spend my time... :(
Omg I searched up sad songs because crying helps my anxiety and stress and this song is #....this world sucks
Omg really?! Crying also helps me when ever my mind goes to dark places.... I thourgh i were the only one........
:)
Cajus Lehmann yeah. are you a girl or boy
I'm also a boy
ok not only me good
This was my bestfriends favorite song, I've recently started listening to it a lot lately. She committed suicide and it makes me feel like she's around... ;(
Omg! Hope you get better :(
Wow that's very hard, but you need to keep moving forward
Wow...That should be very hard for you..Hope you cheer up and stay strong :(
stay strong... i know how you feel, i know you can get through this
aww i'm so sorry thats so sad may she rest in peace. i have a twin sister who has been feeling pretty suicidal and i don't know what i'd do if she did kill herself. i'm sure she's there with you and that she hopes you find comfort in this song. Maybe this happened because it's supposed to show you that you're strong enough to overcome this. I'll send love your way.
I've always liked this song. It is sad but so true. And beautifully sung.
Listening to this with actual rain at 3 AM. What an experience
Reshiram52 I'm sick and its raining/half snowing and im crying like send help
Ooooaf, that sounds like a very powerful experience.
Reshiram52 Nah it's snowing outside 3 Am it's even better
Reshiram52 try it with fire ants by the Gorillaz very emotional
Sometimes when im sad, i immagine that i've got a secret island and i can visit it whenever i want. I stay there for a couple of months living in peace in a house very close to the ocean that i built out of bamboo. It has a little net between 2 palm trees and when it's a sunny day i lay there lookin to the ocean. Then i come back to "Earth" and realize how sad i am again.
Well that's sweet :)For me it does not work.I gues the sentence: Just because I'm born I don't have to live.
This is my live....i gues...
"Even If You're Fed Up, You Gotta Keep Your Head Up" -Tupac Shakur
God bless you :'(
me too when I'm depressed or just sad I imagine a world without me. I venture off into a world with no people. where I can do anything as I please. I'm gald someone else understands. the same things I just said pops up in a anime called erased. the story has beutiful storylines and anything can happen when you least expect it. the anime is heart touching and very sad but it always makes you think. it kinda challenges you to foreshadow what's gonna happen next. I hope everyone has a great day and feels safe and happy around loved ones
☺✌
sounds like Lord of the Flies
Can't believe they played this in the Taco Bell commercial.
It was the fake one. Lorde was singing it. It was supposed to be Gary Jules. It was a cover by Lorde.
The cover was by Halsey.
+Austin M This version is a cover too.. just FYI... the original version of Mad World is done by Tears For Fears.
+Alec Haldeman This version is a cover too. Maybe you know, but this conversation is leading on like this is the original, which it is not. The original is done by Tears For Fears. (its not nearly as good if you ask me, the original that is)
+mathias holland agree 100% the style of the original doesn't really fit with the theme of the lyrics
Thanks for the long term depression
No shit.
terraria :)
When someone t-bags you...
In call of duty
THE_SHADOW_ GAMER no HALO🤗
El Pingo well really any fps

...and the game ends so you can't get your revenge
Gears of War E-Day!
There's something about this song and his voice that just touches my soul...
Feel ya
I agree
Me too
Me too
Agreed
Donnie Darko is still the best movie I've ever watched. Even if it's almost 2014.
Just. Beautiful. I have no words...
Me too
Faerl Oh, the irony
Faerl Haha, yes, you're right ^^ I have one word ;)
Beat box mad world
I hate when people ruin a song that means so much to you this song has turned into a meme
Fatoom Ahmed yep
Fatoom Ahmed Exactly 😔 what a assholes
If it really means a lot to you then people shouldn't be able to ruin it for you. Have some personality and ignore them.
Press F to pay respects
Thank you I think this song is beautiful and sad at the same time it was ruined and I hate that
One of my favorite songs by tears for fears, but this version is hauntingly beautiful.
i can relate to this song in so many ways.
Thats very special
Everyone can relate to this song, even if they don't realize it
Can we appreciate that Tears for fears wrote these lyrics.
That actually makes sense it has the same fieel as the song everyone wants to rule the world
Always and forever. I could never forget roland orzabal! He was a teenager when he wrote this can't deny how profound
Yes they wrote the depressing lyrics but it can't be depressing without depressing music which is why i prefer this one
Yes can sure appreciate❤ TFF are so good tbh
It’s amazing how the same song played two different ways can completely change the mood of the song.
When you get the wrong happy meal toy.
When you finish reading this comment 👌🏻
hahahaha
Lol same
wow you actually cheered me up
Lol
it’s my bithday and i’m alone but that’s okay because it’s been like this for years.. and that’s the crushing part… despair is closing in… faith and hope running low.. and i probably won’t make it to another pits stop, thank you ❤
Sorry to hear this I know how you feel.
i truly hope that things get better for you
when the girl you love in high school for 3 months and then you ask to go out she says she has a boyfriend
i feel you..
Just happened to me man its depressing we will get through it
whoever her boyfriend is is a fuckboi
Yup
NANO Unknown true
I love this song it’s so relatable to my life.
i agree

(i love grumpy cat 🙃)
There is no purpose to my life it is meaningless. The feeling that this song brings is one that I feel every minute of every day. Dafuq is wrong with me?
ham_warrior I kinda relate tbh
ham_warrior saaaame!
A song that made Player 2’s death matter!
Gears of War died to this song 😭😭😭 RIP Dom #Gears3 😭😭😭😭
"Dom..........Dom didn't make it...."
"Never thought it would end like this, huh? Huh, Maria?"
Rip
Everyone:
Xbox community is toxic

@@greenswag2yt905 You can stop tip toeing around me, he didnt die for nothing
My Mam always plays this song on the piano and I love it every time she plays it and I have almost memorised it and watching it with the words has helped me a lot

That moment when you live life. I was also nervous after the "vacations" (if you were to call being alone all time and bored to the end vacations or holidays) were over and anxious going to school again with all of the unnecessary stupid worries.
After all, people really go on to your nerves or they don't care about you. So, they don't really deserve respect. The world is mad.
Nobody truly cares about you in out of you. You have the duty to take care of yourself. Whatever went wrong in the past, never mind. Don't care about people. If they come too close to you and you feel annoyed or uncomfortable, you have to prevent it by not letting them get too close.
Do what is morally justified and very appropriate. Anything else isn't much of importance.
So being a self centered douchebag is totally your answer on how to act like in real life, am I right, +nacho73?
The world may be mad but there is still beauty we must seek out
When you really crave a bowl of cereal but you're fresh out of milk, this song plays.
When your brother doesn't share his chocolate.
+Tommy Lee Mad world....I feel the pain everyday
+Nadia Andreeva i can tell... ur profile pic makes that clear lol
that was me yesterday :'(
or ....when you get the bowl milk and cereal and accidently grab a fork :(
Beautiful sad song. There are many songs I'm willing to kill with but few I'm willing to die with.
To everyone who feels sad or hopeless, remember that it is ok to put some time aside to feel sad, whether it be with someone, or by yourself, just let your emotions out. People out in the world care about you, so don't give up, feel your emotions, and find someone who can help.
No one can
Thank you. You made me stop and think before I ended my life tonight. I'm getting the help I need. Somewhere In Utah.
Thank you
....... I hope I well find someone but I bet I won't
It's mad world :)
