  • It's time to learn powerful piano from the song "Mad World." "Mad World" is a 1982 song by British band Tears for Fears. Written by Roland Orzabal and sung by bassist Curt Smith, it rose to number three on the UK Singles Chart in November 1982.
    Over the years, it has been covered by various artists, including a 2001 version recorded by Michael Andrews and Gary Jules for the soundtrack of the film Donnie Darko which this lesson takes its version from. The song was influenced by the theories of Arthur Janov, author of "The Primal Scream"
    Jules said that he believed the song was easy for people to relate to: "I think it's a really beautiful example of a person struggling with the fact that life is mad. I honestly think it's one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard and the way it's stripped down now just pins people." He went on to say, "Every so often a song with just vocals, piano, and cello creeps up on you and says something about who you are, where you're going which stops you in your tracks." Your teacher Lisa Witt is here to walk you through the song step-by-step, so let's dive right into the madness.

    I've been playing for two years and this was the first song I learned that wasn't part of a method book. I still play it every day as part of my warm-up. Fellow beginners, if I can play this you can get this...go slow, good luck, and have fun.

    I almost got this song on the piano accordion.
    Thanks Lisa for making this tutorial. I don't know about older folks but for me this song is nostalgic thanks to Gears of War, especially the third game where is played after a tragic sacrifice of a main character.
    Back in time when I used to play it with my cousin and life was simpler.

    It's not just in the trailer for Gears of War, it's also the song that plays in the scene where Dom sacrifices himself to save everyone. One of the saddest scenes in videogame history and this is the *perfect* music to accompany it.

    This is a great tune for teaching late beginner/intermediate players how to get a feel for some syncopation. The left hand follows the time signature almost perfectly and the right hand is playing between the beats often. It's a little tricky for the brain at first if you're new but it feels really good to play once you get it, and it's just one of those melancholy but very beautiful songs.

    One of my favourite piano version of a song ever! I personally find much easier to play the Bb chord inverted (F - Bb - D), this way the bass note doesn't change when you move from Fm, plus the hands don't meddle with each other. One might prefer a more dynamic bass line though.

From every piece of my heart God bless you Miss Lisa!

    Nice tutorial! One comment regarding your website page for this tutorial: you write: "“Mad World” is written in F minor. The relative major key of F minor is A-flat major, so the song has three flats (B♭, E♭, A♭)."
    This is wrong, if it was in F minor, if would have four flats. The song is actually C dorian. You might want to correct that.
    Thanks and keep up with the great content!

      @stefanmladenovic5583 Месяц назад

      I know I'm way late but if you still have that question:
      The usual rule is to lift the pedal between changing chords (usually your left hand will dictate this). Sometime you need to lift the pedal when changing bas notes with your left hand.
