Mad World

Mad World by Tears for Fears and Gary Jules' version is one of my favorite songs. I've been playing this song on my piano alot last week because at first I liked how it was a slow and nice melody/tune, but then I realized I was playing it because I have been feeling down lately and when I want to get away I go in my room and just play because it calms me down. It is such a nice song...the words are very emotional, sad but true.

If you haven't heard this song listen here:


Lyrics:

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world
mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world ...
mad world

Enlarging your world
Mad world

  1. I have always loved this song, when I first heard it it was on a commercial for a video game. But its very thought provoking and very very true.

    The video so cool too!

    You are so lucky you are into piano. I miss playing it. But I just can't find the drive to start again! I use to be really good for my age too! ah well.
