Mad World (Tears for Fears Cover) by Michael Benningfield

[SexedUpAtheist]

So you're doing a cover of a cover of a song. xD

[omenwolfe]

@SexedUpAtheist Not at all. Tears for Fears did the original song, and I'm doing a cover of their version. Not a cover of Gary Jules cover... or a cover of that horrible Adam Lambert cover... although I must say when I read your comment I busted out in laughter cause it was indeed funny. I really need to take this video down as this was a rough demo of the song and sounds nothing like the finished product.

[tleavitt1]

dude you got talent!!! you can sing dude... very nice voice!!!

[omenwolfe]

@tleavitt1 LOL Thank you. Much appreciated. This isn't even the final version of this song.. I need to upload a video to my final version!

[Farnam14]

this song means a lot to me, to a point i think barely anyone will ever understand. It's amazing how the tears for fears version can get me laughing a little, and this one/gary jules' version act as opposites. from someone who has so much meaning in this song, very good video/cover man. thanks a lot

[omenwolfe]

@Farnam14 You are more than welcome and thanks for having a look at it... It's been on youtube forever now and hardly any hits or comments. LOL

[kayandmady12]

love it<3 I really want to learn how to play guitar hahah I'm savin up!

[omenwolfe]

@kayandmady12 I am sure you will do great playing guitar! just practice.. learn chords.. everything else will come in time!

[bwdevel]

Your voice goes out of key slightly a few times. But to be honest, in a world full of "artists" who can't sing in key without Autotune, slight human error is very refreshing. The personal touchs that go outside of Jules' variation are nice as well. Great job.

[omenwolfe]

Thanks, yea I enjoy singing, and I did this one with mediocre equipment.. I could have used garageband and redid my voice, but i like it this way too ;) lol.. thanks again.. glad you liked.. now that I got a Duet Pedal I'm going to re-record it so that the sound is actually heard lol.

[BrianUV777BK]

[omenwolfe]

Thank you... I hope it gets more hits!!! lol

[hundrelappen]

Nice job Michael! I really like hard rock, metal, etc., but I love me some Blue October and it has a bit of that flavor to it. Cool... you've got talent.

Thank you, I wish people would really hear this, but so far it hasn't gotten that much attention, and I've since redone the song, but I just haven't had time to upload it to youtube. :)
