My first thought was to come here and say the same thing. But listening to it, I think it’s more accurate as they labelled it - yes, his version was a cover, but in a very different style to the original. And it is his version, not theirs, that they are actually referencing. Combine that with the guys from Tears for Fears themselves publicly stating how seriously impressed they were with the Gary Jules cover, to the extent that they prefer it over their own, and I think F211 got it right. Except for the outro…that’s where they should have said “…of the Gary Jules version of the Tears for Fear original” rather than “…by Gary Jules”. But now we’re getting into semantics, so meh. tl;dr overall I wouldn’t challenge the attribution, knowing the history and the views of the original artist.
@@dl4608Sure Gary Jules version is great. I don't denied that. But it s also fair to give credit to the original songwriter. Specially when their version are great too
You are a cut above most bands on RUclips. Great musicians, fantastic vocals(,and harmonies), and you are hard working at your craft. You deserve success.
I don't know what you mean by underrated. It was successful when it first released by Tears For Fears and it became popular again when Gary Jules covered it.
As a metalhead, I had my days of alt underground. From The Smiths, SherikBack, BlackFlag, The Church, and an occasional Tears for Fears. Mad World was always a favorite, but Jules' version was something different and out of this world. F211's version is a fantastic cover. However, my all-time favorite of a Mad World cover is Jasmine Thompson.
I still remember the day I bought Tears for Fears - The Hurting album in 1984. Well technically I bought it on Cassette Tape. Man I must played Mad World over and over at least 100 times in the first week I had that tape. On the B-Side is "Ideas as Opiates". Another banger off that Album. Love this cover of it. Fits Audra's voice very well.
I so very much love it when an artist covers a song and makes it their own, either with unique arrangement or instrumentation. And y'all have knocked it out of the park with your take on it. 💞
Your acoustic cover of Mad World brought a wave of emotions, turning my long day into a beautifully melancholic spirit. The depth you bring to each note is unparalleled!! Cant wait to see what other musical wonders you unfold🤙 Nailed it, as always! Your music has a way of turning even the toughest days into a symphony of tranquility. im absolutely grateful! Keep doing awesome work🤩, Noga❤️🇮🇱
First To Eleven lewat suara Audra selalu bisa memberi warna yang berbeda pada setiap lagu yang dibawakan.. jadi terasa lebih fresh dan tidak membosankan untuk didengarkan.. salah satunya versi cover lagu yang satu ini.. terasa sangat nyaman didengarkan.. dan saya sangat menyukainya.
Wonderful lyrics of this song. What a lucid portrait in the details and in its profound content of what is this madhouse that we call our civilized world! And still, you can count on music and poetry. That's the magical contrast that turns shit into beauty. That is the achievement of ART. Does Ryan leave his amazing, powerful bass to accompany on a keyboard that Sam could overlay in the edit? Isn't it the absence of Ryan's bass that I miss on Concrete Castles? And now you are also absent from F211? It's definitely in tune with what the title describes: going nowhere, mad world...enlarging your world. And still, nice Cover.
But she already has a real brother. Still, a nice way to dream of genetic affinity and emotional closeness with another person who, because of their creative values, seems worthy of being loved to you. Congratulations, you are not just an animal that hates other animals that have conquered their desired territory. You are a consciousness that dreams of a world in which the predatory instinct can be canceled. Something common? Not at all. A very rare anomaly. Obviously IMO and as long as your opinion expresses your sincere feelings.
Ha, I was just thinking the other day that it wold be cool to hear you guys cover this song, and here we are lol. And y'all did an amazing job, as always.
Você é muito talentosa, não entendo como e porque você ainda não despontou como uma grande estrela. Sua voz nesta música acalma a turbulência da minha alma.
Well the original may have been by Tear for Fears, but Gary Jules' version was much more slow and mellow. So since this cover is slow and mellow also, then yes, I suppose it is more of a cover of Gary Jules.
Love how her voice has progessed over the years as well as the whole band 🎉
Mad world - Tears for Fears (covered by Gary Jules ; amazingly acoustic covered by First to Eleven) 😎🤟
Danke🙏🏻
You got it, man!

I still think the people who wrote the song should get first credit.
@@dl4608Sure Gary Jules version is great. I don't denied that. But it s also fair to give credit to the original songwriter. Specially when their version are great too
Great arrangement...beat box, Ryan on keyboard, and incredible vocals.
Really enjoyed Audra's harmonies / vocal overlays here. Subtle enhancements to the feel of the song.
Great version of the song. You're band just gets better and better.
Beautiful cover. Everytime I hear this I always think back to the Gears of War Trailer
You are a cut above most bands on RUclips. Great musicians, fantastic vocals(,and harmonies), and you are hard working at your craft. You deserve success.
Such an underrated song, first heard it in Donnie Darko. Great to see it getting some love.
This song has never been underrated.

@@Ireland914 It's one of those songs you really don't hear much
Beautiful child of the Sun.

She's extremely talented and like the sister I never had.

Really well done on this cover,
✨MUCH LOVE✨⛅️😎💛🌱🐨🌱
First to 11, just to know. Grace Slick and Janis Joplin, and every woman that blast out tunes rocks the American brain. Thanks
great lo-fi kinda interpretation
Vocês são incrivelmente fantásticos, parabéns e muito sucesso hoje e sempre!
Love this version, awesome job.
Love this song. Audra, you're amazing as usual! ❤❤❤
This is wonderful... :)
Really enjoy this version. ❤ from BALI
Good job everyone on the song

Fekking awesome!
Just brilliant 🎵👌👌👌
Such a good version
Love it!!!
Você é muito talentosa, não entendo como e porque você ainda não despontou como uma grande estrela. Sua voz nesta música acalma a turbulência da minha alma.
Really cool cover, gives me some 90s Portishead vibes 👏👏
Lovely.
❤ beautiful cover🤘
What a beautiful voice with that Nintendo 64 background
nice place and song 👏💖
Excellent cover of the old Tears for Fears classic!
Very nice sounding great 👍👍👍👍
Excellent version of a song I remember you covering on a livestream. Happy Thanksgiving to Audra, Matt, Sam, and Ryan!
I so love this cover !!
Superb!
I recommend everyone listening to the original version by Tears For Fears, it's the best one, hands down
Totally agree. Tara MacLean's as well as Kurt Smith and daughter are both excellent too.
Awesome !!!!!
Well the original may have been by Tear for Fears, but Gary Jules' version was much more slow and mellow. So since this cover is slow and mellow also, then yes, I suppose it is more of a cover of Gary Jules.
So good!
❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥
Feels like you guys are going through my personal playlist and nailing EVERY SINGLE SONG!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Special shoutout to your percussionist - he rocks! 🤘
Saved this one for sure
I ALWAYS DREAMED ABT THIS DAY, OMG
I have waited for this for so long
It’s not a bad cover it’s a faster beat the cover but this one was a hit, it’d always a hit and miss with you guys
