I love it when the RUclips algorithm comes out of nowhere and just hands you a gift. This is straight up 🔥🔥🔥
no shit!
Hear that :) 🌟
Right on
The exact second i thought that, is the same moment I read your comment!!! well done
well said..my thoughts as well..
Forget your well paid TV celebrities, You Tube is where you find true talent........the unsung heroes. What a brilliant version, and a superb mandolin solo.
❤🎉
People like Taylor Swift can forget about it. They aren’t this good!
You'll never catch me wasting my money on
the solo!!!
Your comment made me think of this Charles Bradley version of 'Changes' - ruclips.net/video/zfaOf70M4xs/видео.html
this is the reason why i love youtube
I tell you, these young bluegrass players are the keepers of the flame. Sierra, Mollie Tuttle, Billy Strings, et al. They are the ones who are keeping the best music from the last 50 years alive. The absolutely stunning talent and range of this generation of musicians that are technically "Bluegrass " is so impressive to me. If you are not aware of them you should do your self a favor and look into what these young artists are doing. Truly inspiring.
Love the 'keeper of the flame' comment. They just don't write music like this anymore.❤
That isn't Bluegrass
@@Life-of-Bluegrass_Music It is now. It meets all of the requirements, so it's in my playlist now. Pretty sure Levon Helm would like it as well.
Check out devil makes three

I was skeptical. ... Don't come at this classic unless you intend to deliver. This song was there through tough times for me. After watching I just want to say: "Thank you for this performance!" - You definitely delivered!
I so agree! I’ve watched it at least 10 times and still enjoy it.
That mandolin solo far exceeded my expectations! Everything built to that moment so wonderfully. Magnificent performance. :)
Very nice solo indeed
Expectations on something you've never heard?
Bizarre you shouldnt be expecting ANYTHING from a artist.
@@TheOraclearchive I disagree, for an audience’s expectation of what the art is going to be is one of the primary factors to how the art is received.
There are many instances where artists submerse or exceed expeditions. That’s half of the fun of it!
@@ddragonwhistler ok. So what did you expect from something you havent heard before?
It kinda implies you predicted how she would approach it.
@@TheOraclearchive I didn’t predict what her solo would be. But I sure did hypothesize. Music to me is all about patterns and deviations of those patterns.
I usually get chills when I hear the Gary Jules version. For some reason, the world threw this version in my suggested videos. I've never heard of Sierra Hull. I'm now a fan. I didn't know Mad World needed a mandolin solo. Now THAT was chills.
Yes, that Gary Jules version is beautiful and thoughtful; love it.
Check out her solo on I Don't Mind, with Sturgill Simpson, live
It's actually a Tears For Fears song.
Alison Krauss gave her her start. There's two videos of her playing with AKUS when she was 12. She was good then
Everyone should know who she is 🤷♂️
Absolute powerhouse of a cover. That Mandolin solo is perfection. I think tears for fears would be so proud and I hope they are. It’s amazing when an artist can cover a song and make it their own. This is like jimmy hendrix covering all along the watchtower. Incredible
Now THAT is a compliment, and I agree! 👍🏼
There is another version of this with Curt Smith and his daughter playing together it's very nice and acoustic
Tears for Fears, please show respect for the original artists.
excellent comparison...!
I listened to this song in the early '80's when it first came out... Sierra probably wasn't born yet! It was a song of the times then, and her version is every bit as relevant and fantastic now. What a great interpretation of the song..
Ditto! Top 10 album for me.
lol why did I think this song was from like 2003?
@@UpvotesBlueGuitars probably cuz Gary Jules covered it for Donnie Darko around that time
@@reshmiya aye ur right, thanks
Yes!
As phenomenal as her mandolin playing is , and that solo was phenomenal, props to the violin player for some creative and perfectly placed atmosphere
Yes, I really loved that.
Yeah, I was gonna point out in response to the comment above, how she leaves good space for the other band members to fill-especially the violin player.
because she's a caged goddess
And the fiddle player too.
When it's country music we call it a fiddle.
A sentence I had never expected to say, before seeing this video: "you've got to hear this amazing mandolin solo"
It certainly blew my mind anyway..
She has an amazingly controlled and expressive voice. I could listen all day to it. And of course that mando solo. Awesome.
Did you get a chance to hear "Years"?
Very well done love that it's all acoustic and yes, the solo was fantastic! and the instruments didn't clash with one another. Interesting that the Mandolin solo was very fast for a slow song. Kept it different and interesting
Sierra's playing is so pristine and perfect. I love the quiet confidence she exudes. Her virtuosity is far beyond most mortals but she's never overly showy. It's 100% tasteful and melodic. You can see how much the band loves playing with her too.
calm down, shes fine
@@williedame4406 To each and their own..... She is more than fine; the last few minutes of this version, really shows what she can do but she lets her band mates shine a bit here and there through the song. I've seen her many times on RUclips, and she appears to have very little ego as she has played with so many talented pros and they all appear to love playing with her!!!! She has been invited to play with "Billy and the Kids" this week in NY, so I am trying to get tickets to the sold-out show, maybe I can get a "Miracle", and if not, there is always the simulcast on Nugs.....
I am always going to be enthusiastic about artists I love. Never calming down.@@williedame4406
I agree. She's an incredible musician without rubbing it in our faces. Such a treasure. Amazing human.
Cringe
I ran across this by accident. I’ve never heard of Sierra Hull and I’m from Nashville. I’m an instant fan. I’m proud she’s a fellow Tennesseean. Every time I play this video I weep. It’s as if God reached down from Heaven and scooped up everything which is good in this world and formed this perfect, beautiful human being that is Sierra.
When people create like this it is as close to the divine as we come
Totalmente de acuerdo amigo. Viva la música 🎶
Well said. Soo true.
Out of my 57 trips around the sun i have never heard such fine playing of the mandolin!❤️
And 57 more to go....
That mandolin solo is amazing.
She shredded that thing!
It's from another world, dude!
Me: Mindlessly surfing RUclips at 11:30pm
RUclips (correctly): "You know what you need my man? A bluegrass cover of an '80s classic, with a kick-ass mandolin solo (yes, I said mandolin solo)"
You should see her in concert. She is the fastest mandolin player ever.
Her timbre and vocal technique are remarkable. The final solo is *chef's kiss*
Agreed! Both her interpretation and performance are exquisite.
I’m struck. The best ever rendition of this song. So fine and pure and exactly how it was intended. Roland will be proud. I will follow your endeavors
Wow this rendition blew me away.
No words 😶 I think the mandolin lick at the end was the most amazing thing I have ever heard.
I agree! Sierra’s been a virtuoso since she was a little kid.
I agrre.I like this song.
Yeah, Sierra Hull is a young master
First Time Hearing Her!
Truly Amazing!!
@@JLDB1987Is she from Maryland?
She played this at a show and it was magical. Very unexpected. She is extremely talented.
I'd Love To Have Seen That!
real talent . just stunning. she has such a pure voice and a total star on the mandolin.
More proof that the 80's Ruled!! Glad to see a younger generation keeping music alive. Great cover!!
this feels more like a cover of the gary jules cover, rather than a cover of the original
I am sorry, but she extend it to a complete new and much more advanced level than the original :D
80s actually ruled by driving great music off the market. The best progressive bluegrass and country folk artists had to redefine how they recorded and did business. Sierra is descended from that generation--Tony Rice, Chris Hillman, Kate Wolf, Nanci Griffith, and later Alison Krauss. In the MTV-ruled mainstream, there were just a few rare good songs, such as this one.
A good song is…a good song.
@noahrosenthal6421 hot take: Jules version = far better than Tears for Fears. I think he captured the real soul of the song, while Tears recorded it in such a poppy tempo. It just seems off for the content of the song.
Mandolin is such an underrated instrument. Love it.
You’re right. But especially when played and sung to by Sierra Hull
I enjoyed it. I used to plink around on a mandolin that was given to someone in the family as payment for room and board from a traveling salesman somewhere before 1920. It was already old then. My father used to play "Glow Little Glowworm" and his foot stomping shook the whole house! I guess it made him happy. I learned to play "Mandolin Wind" on it. It sort of looked like a half a watermelon with stripes on it.
fantastic for making slaw
@@alanthealienoriginal Happy Memories!!✌️
She absolutely kills it
I've never seen a person _attack_ a mandolin like Sierra did on the solo. Great playing all around. 😊
Jake Shimabukuru My Guitar Gently Weeps...
Sam Bush & Jeff Austin for a couple,.... but yeah, that was a tremendous solo!
Check out The String Cheese Incident and/or Leftover Salmon, if you like good mandolin playing. 😊
@@cbglassiii9362 Yep, Drew Emmitt!!! Love SCI too. Seen SCI the most due to a variety of factors.
Chris Thile - Dude is a maniac
I don’t know why I clicked on this . I don’t remember the last time I was speechless ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I know why i clicked on this video, it is because this stated 'Mad World'.!!! and i had to listen to this!
I absolutely love when two musical genres join forces to make something amazing. That's what this is.
That was amazing. Everything about it. Lead vocals, her mandolin playing, flawless.
Just completely amazing - wow
Nice! Though it's really just a cover/remake of Gary Jules cover of Tears for Fears. It would have been cool to see their actual version of the Tears of Fears song
A tight take and solid performance for all. BUT just when I thought it was over, that mandolin solo was a stunner -a real incinerator. I can't express how much I enjoyed that late surprise tucked into this cover. This post is a gem! Thanks to all.
Nice! Though it's really just a cover/remake of Gary Jules cover of Tears for Fears. It would have been cool to see their actual version of the Tears of Fears song
TRUE!!!
Agreed.
@@madpriest7822 Maybe if you asked The Internet real nice it would play you the Tears for Fears version. Or Jules' version. Or the version where David Gilmore plays it with his daughter. Most of the covers I've heard of this song (many!) are pretty good, _because it's a really good song._
Holycrap! Her voice is priceless!
Oh when the violin slowly creeps in 😮chilly bumps everywhere!!! You know music is amazing when you get that visceral energy!!!
Already a legend. The future of music is in very safe hands with this one.
This is the cleanest prettiest rock solid piece of music I've heard all day. Sierra & fellow musicians are deeply talented...thought I would lose my mind during the mandolin solo 😂❤!?!?
cleanest, the lyrics were wrong in one part so much that the actual wrong lyrics do not even make sense, other than that, clean
Wow- a beautiful rendition.👏
Great songs can be reimagined. That's what makes them great.
Never have I been more satisfied to watch until the end of the video.
Little did we both know she would rip that incredible solo towards the end. So glad I stayed, too.
My eyes got wide when she blew the top off. I was already digging it, but man! 👏🏼🙌🏼
Sierra and the boys did this excellent song justice. Bravo!
This is just a unbelievable performance. The talent in all of these young people is so high......especially Sierra.
The mandolin solo gave me *full body* goosebumps. 👏
She’s amazing. I love how she basically plays rhythm guitar on on mandolin until it’s time to go bluegrass.
That's a REALLY good description!
This song always gave me chills, goosebumps and a feeling of not being alone in thinking that the World in which we live is extraordinarily crazy yet simultaneous filled with breathtaking beauty. I remember coming up to Christmas, 2003 and this song was _everywhere._ My friend's girlfriend said that she was sick of hearing the song on the radio because it made her feel depressed. I told her that not all music is supposed to make you feel happy. Even back then I knew life wasn't rainbows and bunny rabbits.
Nice! Though it's really just a cover/remake of Gary Jules (Donnie Darko) cover of Tears for Fears. It would have been cool to see their actual version of the Tears of Fears song
But there are rainbows & bunny rabbits Everywhere you look. I'm goin to sleep now.. 😴
In a world of such violence and horror I can Feel the emotion in this song. Great job, current and wonderful interpretation. It touched me.
How this just showed up on my FYP, IDK - but I sure am happy that it did! These folks can jam! New fan
The best version of this song...of which there are many.
Beautiful. The blending of the mandolin and fiddle is masterly.
Beautiful voice and she rips her instrument.
Her voice and her talent playing mandolin deserves to be heard. I will be looking her up to hear more. FANTASTIC
I'd had no idea. Sierra's a goddess on the mando, but she can sing too?!? And the girl can SING! Sierra has the gift, and we are all the better for it when she shares.
She plays so well. Brings that mando to life. Bravo !
Real music, live, full of passion....fills the air....then its gone. In the hour of my twilight, this will invoke a tear.
Tears for fears called and said you did it better. You get an A+
Freaking amazing. Honestly my favorite version.
killer arrangement, excellent musicianship. I’m listening now.
I'm grateful to have heard an incredible mandolin solo in my lifetime! Something I've never heard before, and may never again. Thanks for this!
I love this song, but if u haven't heard an amazing mandolin solo, u might wanna check out Billy Strings band.
@@hobiegillis9453 or any decent bluegrass band with a mando
achingly beautiful.
Thanks Tears for fears but Sierra and band members, you take this to a different level. Thank you
Sierra is absolutely amazing, this band is incredible and it's hands down my favorite version of this song, and can we all show little love for the violin player, amazing articulations that were subtle and just sounded so cool. Great job. Yes, I cried dammit..
Truly Amazing Version!! Loved It All!!
Cried also
Delicate and powerful at the same time. Playing quiet is hard to do and this band nails it! In a loud mad world a soft touch sometimes speaks even louder.
Nice job!
Beautiful voice and awesome rendition. One of my favorite tunes. Awesome job to all of you.
The word word AMAZING is the only limit we humans have so far to express this but soon we will come up the elliquince to convay how GREAT this is
. With mad respect rik
In all these years of RUclips, I have never heard something so magical! I can't tell you how exciting it was to hear every detail of this arrangement. And what a voice and mandolin! Absurdly brilliant!!!❤❤❤
as a singer myself i appreciate the approach she has taken, i think she is giving it a life of its own.
So beautiful! You made a 57 year old man's hardened heart soften a bit; I cried.
Absolutely loved it! One of my favorite songs.
She has such great emotional feel vocally and instrumentally. Amazing musician
I’m officially a fan of Sierra! 🤩
Absolutely beautiful cover. I'm glad this showed up in recommended videos for me.
The skill involved here is very apparent.
Best solo I've ever heard on mandolin. Hands down. No question at all. Bless you sister!
Wow. Unforgettable, timeless, classic.
Nice! Though it's really just a cover/remake of Gary Jules cover (donnie darko) of Tears for Fears. It would have been cool to see their actual version of the Tears of Fears song
Wow! The whole performance is phenomenal! I can't quit watching it! ❤❤❤
Simply stellar. Thank you.
Bloody fantastic!! Great control and dynamics from the band, such a sensitive lovely voice…. and killer mandolin solo…. I mean killer! Great work guys.
Really enjoying this version, this kind of voice and any good mandolin play will get me every time. Listening again to them.
That last part..... Where the violin kind of bridges the sound of the mandolin, really makes me lean in. Didn't know what it was I was hearing.
Thanks for posting. I'd like to find more of their music.
Update: Found her, Sierra Hull, subscribed.
Amazing. Thank y'all.
Extremely well done. Hauntingly beautiful.
She is soooooo talented. I didn’t know this song, but this is a sublime performance by her and the whole group here. Is there anything Sierra can’t do? Her mandolin playing is so off the charts amazing - and perhaps that results in her singing being underrated. She has such a sweet voice and really knows how to use it in a way that seems almost effortless but which draws out such feeling.
Nice! Though it's really just a cover/remake of Gary Jules cover (the movie Donnie Darko) of the Tears for Fears song. Besides the end solo, It would have been cool to see their actual version of the Tears of Fears song instead of redoing the Donnie Darko version
Can you just shut your trap and enjoy the cover?
Half of my family were poor Scots from Appalachia and this song hits me right in the DNA. Thank you for a beautiful cover of a great song.
All of my family are poor Scots from Scotland.
Awesome story. I'm sure next you'll tell us they all ran moonshine and were related to Jesse James. No one cares.
BRAVO!!! BRAVO!! Standing ovation worthy song!!
My gosh what a voice! Absolutely beautiful
Lovely version & so nice to see a mandolin "shredded"
I don't know why, but I did not expect that voice from her. Amazing performance.
The instruments and sounds and her voice are touching my deep soul
Thank you for sharing your gift! All of you!!
Magnificent version of a truly great song about the harsh realities of the the world we live in Sierra's mandolin playing is always mindblowing love it.
INCREDIBLE cover. Great job!!
Absolutely outstanding. Cheers
Wow! She is incredible! Flawless!
EXTREMELY WELL DONE... So nice to see some young people with Actual TALENT...
Nice! Though it's really just a cover/remake of Gary Jules cover (Donnie Darko) of Tears for Fears. Besides that awesome solo at the end It would have been cool to see their actual version of the Tears of Fears song
I listen to a wide variety of music, and I have always loved Tears For Fears, but now the way Sierra and her band play this song makes me love bluegrass even more.
Beautiful.
Wow. love when an artist takes a song and make it their own. Beautiful. Stunning.
Wow what a great rendition of the original (one of my favourite songs ever) played on all my favourite string instruments by a band that I had never heard of! Simply amazing mandolin solo near the end!
Powerful singer brought me to tears.
Moving passion
Beautiful song choice, and awesome rendition! I look forward to more of your work!
you guys are wicked so awesome give me chills!
...the way you sing it .... touched my heart ... almost in tears .... I love the way you sing Sierra .....WOW!!! 🙏
love the feeling of almost falling out of time and snapping back to it.
Beautiful
Wow!
Skills!
No more words needed.
