    "Why is it that a raVen is like a writing desk?

    While the raVen soars...

    ... the writing desk allows one's imagination to do the same."

  • Gary Jules released that in 2003, while Tears for fears released theirs in 1982. Maybe you should look it up, dumbass. I think we all know who came first based on this right here^^

  • @TheDandiestLion haha no the person was really fucked up when they made this

  • Wrong Song Its Composed By Michael Andrews Sung By Gary Jules Its From The Donnie Darko Soundtrack Not The Scorpions

  • @PeanutbuttaJillyTime oh well i have the Donnie Darko soundtrack and it tells me Michael Andrews composed the damn track and Gary Jules did the vocals... i'm sorry for being right, your thinking of the more upbeat Synthpop version made by Tears For Fears... Dumbass

  • @Aceofdiamonds666

    and i am thinking of the more upbeat one made by Tears for Fears...

    They released theirs in 1982 and the lyrics and tune are the same is this. Therefore this song is not BY Gary Jules, the COVER is by Gary Jules.

  • @PeanutbuttaJillyTime yes, well i never said it wasn't now did i? i kno who came first and i never said they didn't, i just stated that the video's track we're now commenting on was composed by michael andrews and sung by gary jules, dude srsly? pick your fucking battles...

  • @Aceofdiamonds666

    ur a fag. and u probly worship the devil too, since you decided to put his number in ur name

  • @PeanutbuttaJillyTime i have a girlfriend, but why would you care, your probably gunna say "sure you do" or sum childish bullshit like that, ur only mad because i proved that your the asshole that keeps running his fuck'n mouth about sum nonsense, Seriously again pick your fucking battles... ^_^

  • @Aceofdiamonds666 yeahhh whatever asshole. Why don't YOU "pick your battles". I know you have trouble accepting that you're wrong, but that's no reason to be a dick.

  • @PeanutbuttaJillyTime your seriously still going on about this U Mad Bro!! it was a month ago get over it besides i'm obviously right if it gets you so upset, but that's no reason to be a dick

  • @Aceofdiamonds666 You're the dick AND wrong!! Wow it's a complete package!!

  • @PeanutbuttaJillyTime WOW!!! Little Kid just Fucking Drop It, Its A Fucking Song Go Suck The Band Off If You Wanna Be So Damn Protective Over The Original Artists, BTW I Never Said It Wasn't by Tears For Fears... Get A Fuck'n Life I Have Better Things To Do Then Argue Over A FUCKING SONG Dumbass.... Have A Nice Day!!! ^_^

  • @Aceofdiamonds666 Well YOU didn't even have to reply to my first comment!! YOU started all of this!! So just shut up. Bye.

  • @PeanutbuttaJillyTime how mature... you actually started this by calling me a dumbass... Oh Well ^_^ Have A Nice Day Dumbass

  • @Aceofdiamonds666 Well YOU'RE the one who keeps bringing it back up. I said "Bye" in my last comment, so that means bye. But no!! You had to bring it back up again!! So shut up & bye.

  • Well she simply just said that your a big fat bad temper old tyrant dahaha!!!!!

  • I need this movie!!!!! Its been too long since I last watched the whole thing :(

  • Wow, this is actually quite wonderful!

  • @TheDandiestLion  THANK GOD for a kindred spirit!

  • I thought Gary Jules sang this.

  • very nice! love Alice and love Mad World!

  • this was amazing i loved it. I did a video to this but ith the new Alice by Tim Burton.

    This song is ment for Alice

  • 爱丽丝

  • 赞!

    爱丽丝

  • Amazing.

  • Awesome video!

  • would love this with Adam Lambert's version.

  • You know? the singer kinda sounds like chester cat on some parts haha

  • @houseofweirdos

    omg yeah i just noticed that to!!

  • scariest movie i ever saw

  • @HappynessSunshines the real movie i watched it when i was 6 and i was soooooo scared but i watched it again when i was about 7 and now i obsessed with it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Man, this movie is mad scary no lie. I'd be scared as heeck.

  • i totally agree with you .. D: lol..

  • deff a shroom trip. being on shrooms is the same confusion state that alice finds herself in over n over again =]]

  • ya know i have been finding many a stange and wonderful vidoes for this song in the past two days..its great

  • i agree with The dandiestlion good imagination is hard to find these days and who ever thought up alice in wonderland is a pure and very imagintive person with or with out drug useg

  • You really dont know who wrote Alice and wonderland? wow...

  • Oh come on. At least use the Tears for Fears version if you're aiming for trippy.

  • this song was awesome

  • I can see where the inspiration for LABYRINTH (Jennifer Conelly) came from.

  • woah I saw this movie when i was a kid, I dont really remember it but now that i see all of this it sound so weird !!! alice in wonderland is definitely a nightmare remastered with happy music, joy and happiness... just change the music and the whole film turn evil, dark , insane !

  • Well, back then LSD wasn't around. I'm sure that it was shrooms or something...

  • I did when I thought he was on LSD too, but the Adventures of Alice and Wonderland was written in 1865 and LSD was discovered/created in 1938. That's a 70 year difference, not to mention that the writer died in 1898, therefore he would've never even had a chance to use LSD in the first place. The only other logical explanation, since LSD would be ruled out is shrooms, since that was available at the time, though opium was the drug of choice at his time, but of course, opium isn't a hallucinogen.

  • It could have been AIWS

    This condition is also known as micropsia, a reference to the fact that objects, animals, and people often appear to shrink in the hallucinations associated with it. The term Alice in Wonderland Syndrome was coined in 1955 and it references the strange events in the book of the same name by Lewis Carrol Sme researchers suspect that the condition may have affected Carroll himself nd perhaps this is why the visions in the book seem so frighteningly real to some readers

  • @Peridium The ONLY other logical explanation?? The book is crazy because it plays with linguistics, mathematics, history, social norms, and logic. There's nothing random in the book, it's all basically elaborate puns. There's no one in the academic world that believes he was using drugs ever (his diaries have no mention of it).

  • @Flubly actually Lewis Carroll did do drugs he had an extreme addiction 2 Opium but that wasnt an influence on the book the book is about his difficult acceptance of Sociality he was very antisocial (in fact he was a shut-in

  • @TheGIRROX There is no documented evidence that Lewis Carroll used opium during his lifetime. Please direct me to a reference if you have found one. All we know is that opium was very popular during his lifetime.

  • @Flubly his best friend says in an interview thats in my collection of ALL his wok that he had a HIGH addiction 2 opium i luv Lewis Carroll the drugs had no influence on his writing but he did do them i will defend him 4 many things but not his drug addiction

  • @TheGIRROX I'm not saying I have a problem if he did have an addiction, I'm trying to find out the evidence for myself. Why would I take your word for it? it's nothing personal, I just like having documented evidence before I hold opinions. What's the full name of the friend?

  • @Flubly ill check my book wen i get home and tell u as soon as i can but it is a well known fact 2 EVERY lewis carroll fan that he did opium I DO NOT however believ they wer an influence on his work i mean u cant right a good satire wile on drugs just ask Koji Kumeta about it lol

  • @TheGIRROX There's no proof he was ever on opium. Opium was a general use for a lot of colorful inspiration at the time, yes, but to say Lewis Carroll was using it, let alone actively, can be no more than an opinion or educated assumption. There's just no evidence, so be careful before you run about saying he did, it offends some people. Personally, I could care less, but saying this and that without the text is like people saying they know all about Alice in Wonderland from the Disney movie.

  • @Topazmagic actually in my book of his collected works 1 of his best frends Alice's father sez that he used opium he didnt use it 4 inspiration he just used it it is common fact That Charles Dodgson used opium

  • Oh, and do some research ^.^

  • i can give u a lil more. ahem, like the man said the writer was a heavy trippy guy, (also a pedophile) most of the refrences of this move are evil,drugs,insanity,sex acts, life lessons...its all very very wrong in a way

  • Haha, you should look up alice human sacrifice (just sayin)

  • we made a music video to tim burtons alice trailer if anyone has time for a peek. peace n love. jess

  • You just gave me an idea. Well i'm making a fake alice trailer for a school project and i will probably post it on youtube but i think i will use this song at the end.

  • To be honest, if I were to recommend a song for a fake trailer, it would be "Alice" by Faggotron. Look him up on youtube. The song is awesome.

  • This story is dark, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (a suspected paedophile) wrote Alice in wonderland in 1865 as a favour to a 11 yr old girl (Alice) he was well acquainted with. The story is about an inexplicable nightmare with Alice (the 11yr old girl) as the main character.

  • the Alice in the books/ movie is not supposed to be Alice Liddel (The 11yo girl he told the story to.) It is just her name.

    Alice says she is 7 and a half in the second book. Also, he has stated Alice in the book is based off of the generic image/ mind of children at the time, and has no character resemblance to Liddel.

    As for him being a pedophile, well, that's up in the air, but times where different, and people thought of things differently back then. His nude photography of children was

  • [continued] not viewed as sexual, but rather, a symbol of innocence, and purity. Today, such things are taboo, and I see why. I'm not defending pedophilia, I'm just saying what happened :/

  • Though it is never stated that Alice(the fictional character) and Alice Liddel are one in the same. I still believe Alice to be the proxy of Alice Liddel.

    Anyway, like i said he was a suspected paedophile, and sure the ideas back then where different but never the less he did propose to Alice Liddel. Thus i have strong suspicions of his relationship with the girl.

    But even with all this controversy, this story is still brilliantly wry as it is about an inexplicable nightmare.

  • Maybe. He did use he name though, since she was his favorite of the three sisters. He may have proposed, but at least he was being nice about it. He could have just raped her.

    But, some entries are missing from his diary, and the marriage proposal is only one theory to why the Liddels moved away.

    Another theory about the pages is he was a man-slut, and the pages were removed to preserve his image.

  • Such a perfect song to use!! Fantastic video!

  • This song fits incredibly - moreso with American McGee's (incredibly effed up) take on the story.

  • The game was a sequel to, not an interpretation of, the story

  • Right, i probably should have worded that differently.

  • for me, watching this with Mad World in the background, it really shows how screwed up this movie actually was.

  • Well, Lewis Caroll WAS on medication when he wrote the book...hahaha XD

  • wahh the songs so depressing and its such a happy movie it sorta ruins it for me

  • Its like mixing mortal kombat with mario bros. A fucking UNGREAT IDEA

  • you too know this song ?do you know that Danny Elfman had work in Oingo Boingo, and he's working for the musics in the Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland (24 March 2010) ?

    L<3ve this song.

  • Dude who is this guy!? shits deep

  • Gary Jules - such a great song

  • Donnie Darko!

  • LSD

  • and our world is mad too

  • I think this video was really well done and the scene choices really did go well with the song! and it fully makes sense with the overall theme of the song. the whole reason Alice dreams up wonderland is because she feels alone and bored and ignored in the real world so she goes somewhere interesting and fantastical. honestly i'm like.. obsessed with Alice's Adventures in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass and all of its adaptations. and i really enjoyed this!

  • you should go see the new Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland movie when it comes out in march :)

  • Wrong. this song was put out by Tears for fears in the 80's.

  • Comment removed

  • I can't argue with that.

  • I was just thinking that when i saw your comment

  • correct.

  • i first heard this song in a movie called Donnie Darko

  • faces*

  • Dude, relax and let the stick fall out of your ass

  • oooohhhh, this song is so sad but i love it!!

  • The song is perfect for the movie!

  • I love this song! It's a perfect song for Alice in Wonderland!

  • Lewis Carroll was soooo tripping balls when he wrote alice in the wonderland.

  • Wow, depressing

  • this is everyone's . . 'welcome to earth'  . .

  • will smith: "welcome to erf"

  • ROFLMFAO!

  • OMG one of my favorite movie quotes ever.

    It's become a classic line between my dad and I.

    And that movie is still QUALITY.

  • WTF?! -Dies laughing.- That quote made my day. xD

  • i wonder what those people said to get removed.....oh, I LIKE THE VID!!! ^_^ alice's story is my favorite

  • I like it

  • You're joking, aren't you?

  • No, I'm not. Am I? No.

  • "Bright and early for the daily races"

    *White Rabbit is shown waking up to resume rushing to avoid being late*

    "Their tears are filling up their glasses"

    *Alice cries to the extent her tears literally flood the room*

    "Went to school and I was very nervous

    No-one knew me, no-one knew me"

    *Two birds with pencils for heads look down on Alice while she seems excluded from the crowd of creatures staring at her*

    We are watching the same video aren't we?

  • the music and the content make this a very good zeitgeist. thanks for sharing..

  • holy shit. this is excellent.

  • we did a play for this like a long time ago in 4th grade, and i played the cat, but i also wrote the script for the mad hatter scene.

  • I like what you've done but i just can't like it because the song is soooo bad.

  • beautiful video. moving and insightful

  • this is well done, thx for check ours out. nice work.

  • FUCKIN GENIUS <3 fav!

  • this shits fuckin incredible

  • dont work for me...the song is about modern life not a victorian childrens story..alice is a wonderous joy ful story...the song is totally wrong...you lot saying how amazin it is and full of meaning aretalkin rubbish...get a life

  • Don't be silly! It's obvious that Alice is totally tripping on some shrooms. That and she's usually quite distressed very often in that whole movie. I would be more irritated than distressed... what with that whole "OFF WITH HER HEAD" deal.

  • think your wrong...lewis carrol was not a dope smokin hippy...you dont need 2 be on drugs 2 have a imagination...as a matter of fact the charecters in wonderland are suppose to be caricatures of unniversity lectures lewis carroll knew.....the new tim burton version looks weak....

  • Never said anything about the author. I said Alice was tripping on some shrooms.

  • wot ever...........your wrong

  • Comment removed

  • this is so cool. and how it suits well with the movie! it shows how this story can be philosophic :)

  • Excellent. Who cares if it's original or not; it was very nicely done. I never cared much for this sad song, but it went so perfectly with the video. :)

  • this is amazing....the song goes so well the video, your doing an great shop, keep posting more!

  • this movie can make you feel high WITHOUT drugs

  • if your seven maybe

  • what? -2 rating? it's true!

  • I think that with all the videos and animations this song has been paired up Alice in Wonderland would have to be the right match for it (besides Donnie Darko). It amplifies the creepy and twisted feelings the book was suppossed to bring out in the first place. Love the combination. But the video was rather plain, sorry.

  • Agreed...this song can be applied to any strange, sad, or slow-mo video and it will instill emotions.

  • That's the power of music.

  • Very well done ...

  • really pure and beautifully brilliant gave me that warm fuzzy feeling

    Loved it

  • it was pure genius to think of putting this song with Alice in Wonderland , it makes complete sense.

  • This was adorable, all the way through I sat with my hands together in my lap and my head cocked to one side, just knowing the movie and feeling the song fit together.

    Beautiful, mate...

  • I just got to the part in the book where she got to the garden finally. I wasnt aware Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum were only in Through the Looking Glass, and Im sad they didnt have the Un-Birthday gist at the teaparty. But so far its everything I dreamed for. Alice's Adventures In Wonderland is my obsession!

  • i love this song.

    i hate this movie, it scurrs me

    i like this song better with donnie darko.

  • This Song (Mad World) was meant to be paired up with Alice in Wonderland vid.

    A match made in mad heaven.

  • LSD............

  • lol seems like alice only got in the way and everybody was always getting mad at her

  • Whats the song?

    Great video

  • the song is "mad world" by gary jules

    and yes. it is a good song ^_^

  • originally by tears for fears. this remake was made popular in donnie darko.

  • Comment removed

  • fits perfectly

  • i like the song ^_^

  • alice trippin

  • how old is she in this? i never found out is she like 7 -10

  • nope.i asked cuz well i dont remember why because asked like last week

  • i think its versatile for the reason that ANYONE can do drugs.

    even my cats.

  • Alice is based off of Lewis Carroll's Alice who is 12 years old.

  • i thought it was actually his friends daughter (not to be a know-it-all or anything)

  • Comment removed

  • I meant Alice (the animation) is based off of Alice from the novel. And someone asked how old she was, so that was my reply. I've no idea who is the original muse for the Alice from the novel.

  • oh. i was just saying because i recently saw the ballet for alice in wonderland (which was amazing) and it said in the program that the character in the original story was based on lewis carroll's colleague's daughter alice liddel (who was 10)

  • Alice Liddell is not Lewis Carroll's daughter. He's a friend of her family and dedicated the story to her. It was in my copy of Alice in Wonderland. Look it up on Alice's wiki page.

  • thanks but i think i just said that :)

  • You're all wrong. Her name, spelled wrong by Lewis Carroll, Was Alyss, not Alice.

  • Someone seems to be a fan of Looking Glass Wars.

  • Actually, a Professor told me that. But yeah, I did read that book xD

  • Dont you mean ' Alice through the looking glass (and what she found there)' the second book by Lewis Carrol? If so, I have no idea how you thought of 'Glass wars'

  • The looking glass wars is a book that puts a new twist on Wonderland, with the QoH turned into a maniacal dictator like Scar from TLK, The Cheshire Cat into an assassin, The Mad Hatter as a warrior searching for Alyss through our world and Alice turned into Princess Alyss of Wonderland who escapes to our world and talks with Lewis Carrol, who she thinks can make the world believe her, however, Lewis takes her story and turns them them into the tea parties and rabbit holes that we know today

  • No, I do believe they're right. Her name was only spelled like that in the Looking Glass Wars. Her real like name /was/ spelled Alice. ^^

  • Looking Glass Wars? You sure about that?

  • Pretty sure. Unfortunately, I've never got to read the books myself. That's just what Wikipedia said.

  • wow, great sync

  • the lyrics of the song are nice....
