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.
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.
This song is so haunting, when this first came out i was in my early teens and my friend really liked it, we are in our 30's now. 2 days ago my sister called me crying to say he died. I'm not sure what happened but he was struggling with life in general. I wish i had helped him, now it's too late.
Just roughly five months ago my older brother committed suicide. As a kid, we fell in love with the sad but graceful song. I will always carry it with me in some way. I wish I had done more to help my friend, too.
Gary singing this is gold. It's not just the incredibly sad song but also the way that he sings it really express how, how sad he is. Like he conveys sadness which makes it more sad. SAD, truly fantastic work
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 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.
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.
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 :)
“A time is coming,” said St. Anthony the Great, “when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, “You are mad; you are not like us.” -St. Anthony of the Tombs This song has stuck with me since I first heard it watching Donnie Darko. While I no longer watch movies and hardly listen to any music, I can appreciate truth where it is found. This speaks to all of us whether we accept it or not. The generation before us was heavily programmed and we are the first wave to see through it all. I hope and pray for those of my generation to keep pushing through for Christ’s sake. It sucks, embrace it, call upon God, and do what you can to do the right thing. God bless you all 🙏🏻☦️🕊️
Listened to this song a few years ago, couldn't figure out what the song was about. Just listened to it after years and now I truly understand what it actually means. Although its sad and depressing, it doesn't make me feel sad or anxious at all. I understand that this world is really a MAD WORLD and its up to me to cope with it- Take responsibility- Take action. This song is a beautiful representation of the world that we live in today, so instead of listening to this song and be upset, we should empower ourselves and use this song as our strength instead of our weakness.
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.
@@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
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.
I absolutely love this song. It describes my whole life, from moving to a new city and school. It even describes my mental health. It's both a good and a sad song.
@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

+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.
My father used to sing me this song to sleep when I was younger while playing guitar.. I never understood the lyrics cause I didn’t speak English yet but now that I understand them the song is even more sad but also beautiful
This song makes me cry ❤️😭. When I listen to this song alone in my room, painful things come to mind. 😭. How many, people died of starvation, war, cancer... 😭. When I imagine my little brother, mom or dad suffering , I hope it will never happen. This song and my sad thoughts when I hear this song is killing me. Im so sorry for everyone who have lost someone important ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
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.
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."
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?
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"
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
I was at the site of a killer tornado in 1967 Oaklawn Illinois where many died and was injured, but blessed to still be able to help many who needed help. This song reminds me to help others when I can. I was blessed to be able to save lives.
This song makes me question life and its purpose, seeing other people who don't care about helping others or do good. People who instead think about money and material things, that lie and deceive others etc... Makes me depressed and sad at the same time.
They will all die. Life is just a blink of an eye filled with chaos and suffering as the brain tries to find sense and meaning in an ever changing reality. Morality and ethics are Human inventions only recently enforced and can just as easily be unlearned but in the end we will all die alone.
Sure... So why do we spend so much time treating each other like shit? If we are going to die alone, then we should do our best to not live alone. Live with other. Live happily. Be happy. If everything is pointless in the end, give now a purpose by pursuing joy and love.
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 ❤
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"
Makes me remember so many beautiful memories when life feels dark 😢
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.

It's really so true...we all just do our daily tasks, without really thinking. Running through life...and it is a crazy, mad world ...really😪

Literally the saddest, most heaviest hearted song I can think of...

a perfect circle - imagine
Cats in the cradle pretty much just as sad as this
Dying Song by John Frusciante
Johnny Cash’s hurts cover always just hurts
Listen to avril lavigne slipped away song
My father used to sing me this song to sleep when I was younger while playing guitar..
I never understood the lyrics cause I didn’t speak English yet but now that I understand them the song is even more sad but also beautiful
it was my favorite song as a child… kinda morbid
Doing that right now ❤ my daughter has fallen fast asleep
This song touches my soul deeply. Glad to know I’m not the only one that feels this way. I hope life can get better. 😔
;) this song never gets old
Gary Jules cover of this is great, I uncomfortably relate to this song a little too much in my social life.
This is my whole life in one song.
whats the original
Tears For Fears
+DaEpicRose / Rosie Ranson original is made by micheal andrews
Gary Jule's voice relates more to the song than Tears For Fears in my opinion.
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
This song has always been so painfully beautiful. I'll always come back and play this song.
When you read a comment that starts with "when"
Cure4Bored Enterprise you have made me notice like 40% of all comments begin with when.
Gary Jules cover: *29.8 million views*
Original version by Tears For Fears: *9.4 million views*
"I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad"
I swear this is the original version
Oliver Mendelsohn it was a cover made in 2001. The original was made in 1983. I think we all can agree tears for fears made the song. Lmao
The dreams in wich I'm dying are the best I've ever had
Honestly I think Gary Jules nailed the musical theme better than Tears for Fears, it mirrors the sadness of the lyrics
Actually there is a video posted 13 years ago with 137 million views
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
This song makes me cry ❤️😭. When I listen to this song alone in my room, painful things come to mind. 😭. How many, people died of starvation, war, cancer... 😭. When I imagine my little brother, mom or dad suffering , I hope it will never happen. This song and my sad thoughts when I hear this song is killing me. Im so sorry for everyone who have lost someone important ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is the first time I heard this song and its so beautiful ♥
ikr, you should watch Donnie Darko,
+DaEpicRose / Rosie Ranson I'll check it out cx Thanks
Honestly best movie
it's my lullaby. fall asleep every time haha
This is the first time I see you and you are so beautiful (did i do this right?).
this is the first real song I have completely memorized
same
Chris Rodriguez the song where I know the world is like hell
GEARS OF WAR IS BACK
I've always liked this song. It is sad but so true. And beautifully sung.
When you take a shit and realise that you dont have any toiletpaper
I am shit to!
Hannah Smith sehr schön
and Im lost. I only know some german
'Sehr Schon' means very beautiful
ok
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 reminds me of the reality I see everyday and it’s depressing.
Emilio Avila it's a reality we all see brother.
Unfortunately yes
It is a Mad World after all!
Get the joke? Instead of Small World? 😂😭
At the same time I was being serious. I think Earth is really hell.
finally i found a person talks like that not like the others...memes 😔😞
Same here
The world may be mad but there is still beauty we must seek out
There's something about this song and his voice that just touches my soul...
Feel ya
I agree
Me too
Me too
Agreed
Okay just me or does this hit different in March/April 2020?!
nope. Not just you.
Anita Binder ok good:)
Nah, you're not the only one.
Does your dad hit differently in March/April 2020?
The Doctor uhhhhhh
I remember the times when this video got more views than original
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
Am I the only one who actually liked the song before it was a meme?
Yes,you very much are.
Nope!
No I loved this song before it was a meme
Oh my god I love you profile picture.
I found it from the meme, but loved it because of the song.
This song hits home. It tells how I feel so much. I feel like the mad world is spinning around me. Thank you for an inspiring song😊😊
When you love this song so very much but find out that it has turned into a meme.
Actually me with the song "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence ;/
Priyansh Yadav When you should stop with the when's and listen to the song
Priyansh Yadav omgggg true
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.
The Anthem of Mondays....
Grrrrrr
back after here after the Gears of War E-Day announcement
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.
When you realize...that...Tomorrow is monday.
true.
Itacheyyy Uchiha Oh no
XD
Omg yes
HA HA SO TRUE LOL XDXDXDXD
Donnie Darko is still the best movie I've ever watched. Even if it's almost 2014.
This song reflects the world right now..sad and no future..😢
The song is pretty sad but goddamn I'm laughing so hard in this comment section.
João Lucas eu também kkkkk
João Lucas same😂
I DON'T SEE "WHEN"
João Lucas Same
João Lucas same
I love this song it’s so relatable to my life.
i agree
explains ur profile pic then lol
(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!
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
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"
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

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
when you run out of pokeballs in Pokemon Go.
omg 😢
So sad
And there's a Pikachu.
I cri everytiem 😢😢
Happened to me yesterday. Saddest thing ever
All around me are familiar faces
worn out places
worn out faces
probably the most depressing song in the world
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
I was at the site of a killer tornado in 1967 Oaklawn Illinois where many died and was injured, but blessed to still be able to help many who needed help. This song reminds me to help others when I can. I was blessed to be able to save lives.
This song makes me question life and its purpose, seeing other people who don't care about helping others or do good. People who instead think about money and material things, that lie and deceive others etc... Makes me depressed and sad at the same time.
They will all die. Life is just a blink of an eye filled with chaos and suffering as the brain tries to find sense and meaning in an ever changing reality. Morality and ethics are Human inventions only recently enforced and can just as easily be unlearned but in the end we will all die alone.
"sad and depressed at the same time"
Sure... So why do we spend so much time treating each other like shit? If we are going to die alone, then we should do our best to not live alone. Live with other. Live happily. Be happy. If everything is pointless in the end, give now a purpose by pursuing joy and love.
Well said
Mazxlol
Mmm, I love me some existential crisis!! THANKS FOR THAT!! 😬
This is what I tuned into today’s madness I’d say this must be the perfect song.
:( same here.. I feel you
Gears of War E-Day ❤
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
