    Lyrics:
    All around me are familiar faces
    Worn out places, worn out faces
    Bright and early for the daily races
    Going nowhere, going nowhere
    Their tears are filling up their glasses
    No expression, no expression
    Hide my head, I wanna drown my sorrow
    No tomorrow, no tomorrow
    And I 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
    I find it hard to tell you
    I find it hard to take
    When people run in circles, it's a very, very
    Mad world, mad world
    Children waiting for the day they feel good
    Happy birthday, happy birthday
    And I feel the way that every child should
    Sit and listen, sit and listen
    Went to school and I was very nervous
    No one knew me, no one knew me
    "Hello, teacher. Tell me, what's my lesson?"
    Look right through me, look right through me
    And I 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
    I find it hard to tell you
    I find it hard to take
    When people run in circles, it's a very, very
    Mad world, mad world
    Enlarging your world
    Mad world

    I don’t think Donnie Darko would have felt “complete” without Gary Jules’ Mad World. The way that this song compliments the end of the movie is what I think adds that last piece of puzzle to the picture. It also arguably helps you understand what the ending of that movie really means too.

    I remember when I was in college, our math teacher noticed me sitting there, looking sad and unable to concentrate on the board. He came over and asked what was troubling me. He empathized with me, understanding that I had no friends among the 150 students in the class. He took 10 minutes out of his class time just to talk to me. At that time, I hadn't heard this song, but now whenever I listen to it, I can't help but connect it with that memory. It always makes me feel sad

      Came here to say the same thing. So many covers just seem like vanity projects where the new singer just thinks the song would be better if only they did it, but every once in a while the cover brings something out that the original artist maybe didn’t even know was there. I liked the Tears for Fears version, but I LOVE this one.

    When I first saw this video, I must have been 7 or 8 years old, I had already heard the song, naturally, but never seen the video before. It filled me with something I had never experienced before, nor had the vocabulary to articulate, I was entranced by this grey American cityscape bathing in the beautiful sunset sun, Michael Andrews forlornly accompanying it with his piano; it looked like a place I had only ever seen in my dreams, or out of the corner of my eye, while staring out the window in class. In the years since it has bedeviled my imagination and inspired my art, the feeling the sunset gave me has never left me.
    Today I found out to my dismay my own grey Arcadia was actually just Hoboken, NJ. Damn you Michel Gondry.

    I was gifted a great work shift Mon-Fri 6am-2:30pm for almost a year. It was a great work/life balance. Now my days off are Mon/Tue and I get home from work about 9 or 10pm. I sleep in on my days off and when I get home nobody is awake at home. Visiting with family is so limited and timed now. I keep putting my faith, projects, seeing friends, and health appointments on the back burner. My alcohol consumption has increased with tough days being more common. When I’m clocked in at work is when I’m most happy. I have a task and a purpose. Not focusing on the crappy side of my current shift. It’s by seniority. A morning shift Mon-Fri coworker is retiring within the year. Hope it happens please! I want my quality of life back.

    My wife left me a few weeks ago and moved back to the states. This was one of her favourite songs, it was mine too when I was younger.
    It was one of the many things we bonded over when we first started talking and now it's something I listen to now I can't hear her beautiful voice anymore. I took her for granted and came home from work to find her gone one night. She's the most beautiful soul I've ever met and I've lost the most important part of me. I never deserved someone so precious, but she gave herself to me for the time that she did and I had the best part of my life with her. The absence of her smile makes my life a dull tone of grey and I'll never be the same without her. The world doesn't know how much it needs that girl. I love you so much sweetheart, show them what you're worth.

    Where the original version puts up a facade of upbeat happiness that hides darker feelings behind it, this version has a more honest sad/hopeless vibe that I think fits the song really well. It's this kind of tonal shift that I've really come to appreciate in covers, because it offers a very different perspective from the original. It can really make a piece of music feel fresh :)
