Gary Jules - Mad World

[Paulson]

Sent chills down my spine for some reason...

I get like that listening to Samuel Barber's "Adagio For Strings" as well...

I found out about this song because they had it on the opening of CSI this past week...

 

[SLCentral]

Oh, Donne Darko .

 

[DaveSimmons]

Yes, it's a nice cover (original was by Tears for Fears).

 

[tami]

i love that song.

MUCH better than the tears for fears version imo. the tears for fears version is not as solemn and slow. jules makes it really powerful.

It's a good song. We had a guy last year (live in a house off campus with 4 other guys) that listened to it 24/7 for a whole month so everyone in the house except for him got sick of it pretty quickly. Unfortunately I have that crappy memory everytime I hear it now.

 

[cerebusPu]

i find it interesting that the song became a sleeper hit.

 

[thomsbrain]

maybe the worst song i have ever heard.

fvcking horrible.

but to each his own.

 

[Shawn]

It's a lot creepier when you watch the movie.

 

[Dubb]

the really funny thing is how few people have heard any of his other stuff. trading snakeoil for wolftickets (the album it's on) is pretty good too.

One of the best covers ever. That and Rage Against the Machine Beautiful World.
