Mad World - Gary Jules

Back


The original video of Mad World. (the one by Gary Jules, of course. By original, I meant the actual Gary Jules one, not the Donnie Darko one. There. Happy? I am heavily aware of the fact that TFF did a video long before Gary. I knew before I posted the video. You'd think that one of the progenitor of the video would know these things.) Throughout the video children are making animated figures on the sidewalk below. (the song was featured in the movie Donnie Darko. If you haven't seen it, seriously consider it.)

I simply love the atmospheric value of this cover version. It echoes the style of Donnie Darko in such a simple way.

I prefer the original version.

Also, both versions have their merits. This is a very poignant rendition, and Jules deserves credit for a very touching, very emotional piece of music. However, Tears for Fears were a very underappreciated band, and I love 80s stuff, so let's just bask in good music, new and old.

Chill the fuck out dude.
To tell the truth I like this version better, it sounds like it is a sad song, he did a really good job.
You act like hes the only person whose ever remade a song.
Look around you.
I mean hell, look at Stevie Ray Vaughan, he remade 2 Hendrix songs, that doesnt mean he used it for success, he did it since he idolized Jimi.
And look at bands around you past and present, they all have atleast remade one song.
Just cause one guy does a remake doesnt mean its all for success.

you're an ass show some respect to tears for fears ! They wrote it and this asshole used it for his own success ! If you listen to tears for fears version its not meant to be so sad and slow its more fast and up beat !!!
