Beautifully done...the way the song was meant to be....( I had this song in my head all day- it's Snowing here...it made sense).The Second version below has a beautiful video with chidren making synchronized are on the sidewalk below.....
( they did it on Idol tonight....and ruined it for us old folks...and 6-6 pointed out the Gary Jules version is even better...)
Amazing! I had only heard this on the soundtrack of "Donnie Darko". I didn't even know sang it. But in one of those strange universal coincidences, it was on my mind last week & I found myself singing it. And no, I don't watch Idol, so I didn't see it there. It was just on my mind. THANKS!
ReplyDeleteI put up the Real Versions...
ReplyDeleteare bother Versions the Original Tears for Fears and the Donnie Darko version::
"The original video of Gary Jules' and Michael Andrews' cover version of Mad World. 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 love both versions....but watching Idol was disturbing...so we had to listen to them the good stuff...
( sadly we have watched Idol for years...but now we just make rude commentary while it is on...)
I saw Donnie Darko and still have nightmares about that damned eye-shot rabbit! But the music was mesmerizing.
ReplyDeleteI never saw it DK...
ReplyDeletebut I love this video...
lovely....
It was a disturbingly appealing movie with certain points (like the song) that stick inside your brain. If you ever do see it and find yourself wondering what it all meant, there are whole discussion groups online still trying to figure it out.
