This item started off when I began searching for the original version of ‘Mad World’ by Tears For Fears, which was released back in 1982. I was going to say how I first heard that version when my friend Melanie played it to me in the music room as soon as it was released and we both agreed it had an amazing sound and was destined to be a big hit. I was going to say that I was a very big fan of ‘Tears For Fears’ and loved Roland’s songs, however whilst searching I found this version by Gary Jules which was a massive hit back in 2003.
This version of the song is so far away from the original that it’s virtually something else, but it has a delicacy and intensity that takes the meaning of the song and its message and makes it all the more relevant and so for that it deserves to be applauded.
I love this song and I love this version of it.
Now listen to the song….
