Mad World Piano Version with Vocals by Deryck Banks

[Rage995]

yea, singing is fast

[xavir5]

why are you going that fast :P?

[Elisabethhvr]

Nice voice, nice piano. Please work about your timing because its off beat.

[metamayer]

its good but very fast

[BergmanMusic]

Impressive! :)

Sehr gut, sehr gut!

[LoreWithHisDrums]

very good!

[ichliebegreenday]

echt toll ! ich finde es einfach nur hammer !!

[christopheclugston]

Yeah, down with it. Great piano sample (what's the sample?)

[xCheryCranberryx]

So fast !

[83056]

I enjoyed you piano playing....I've listened to it a few times while doing chores around the apt.

Cheers from Canada

[MrGummyWurm]

this is easy to play

[iLoveYouStrify]

Wow (: Echt sehr gut gespielt und auch gesungen ! Also kannst echt klasse singen, großes Kompliment (:

[DeryckBanks]

@iLoveYouStrify Danke sehr! Ich spreche Deutsch nicht gut, aber ich liebe Deutschland.. Ich war im Nuremburg letzte jahr fur das Kristkind nacht.. so gut.. so viele fascinerende gebaude.. ;o)

[Russell0005]

You play it too fast. It is supposed to be slower

[FirePixie59]

i dont know...u seem a little off balance. you might want to try going slower and not stressing a few of the notes.

[AntiCyberGreenBunny]

You sound Irish. ^_^

[batteryAAP]

I liek this cover you seem to have captured the original and gary jule's cover style wise and great solo

[cashymusic]

it was way faster then the real song. . . not saying i ddnt like it but the mood of the song is suppose 2 be slow and depressing. urs ddnt have that mood. . . other then that uu did good

[yazminthestrange]

@cashymusic Uhh. no it's not.

Listen to tears for fears ORIGINAL version.

Gary juels only COVERED this. *facepalms*

[MsTalentsearcher]

great cover :) i enjoyed it :)

if any of you really like the piano version, i did a version (its a lil more classical so be prepared lol) feel free to check it out and comment! :)

[christivie12]

Slower pls

[SerpentRaptor]

Wow, thats some impressive playing skills, and your singing was good to, even though I didn't quite like the broken rythmic way you sang it. Still, well done!

[darklion53]

sung it a bit to fast but sung it well. good work

[Asukamyangel]

Geil gespielt, geil gesungen, einfach nur perfekt!!!

[DeryckBanks]

Danke Sehr! Ausgezeichnet! ;o)

[QQZX7]

I love this song!!! You are good no wait...EXREEMLY AWESOME!!!

[ClosedProject]

You are truly amazing

[9Velja9]

It sounds so good...the best cover I've heard...put a little more bass with microphone...

[mastermonkeychiefme]

great piano, but ok singing. overall great!

[sovlai]

Hmm, you have twisted it.. It's annoying

[tatyanadawn93]

Finally a good cover!! awesome job =]

[FaceHat3000]

Ausgezeitnet!!!

Please could you post your version of the theme to "All Creatures Great and Small" with the addition of some "scat" style lyrics???

Many thanks in anticipation!!!

[Crash1232]

This is how a cover should sound! There are so many poorly done versions on youtube I was happy to see yours!

[TwoCapitals]

I've seen a lot of versions with guitars, it sounds great on the piano though. Good job man! Check out our attempt at the same song on our channel if you've got a minute.

-Jeff/2C

[DeryckBanks]

Thanks Guys! Loved your version - I would recommend others to see it too. I like it because it is different. I always try to do something different too, after all, you can hear the original anytime.. so why not hear something that has been inspired by the original.. good stuff

D

[TwoCapitals]

I agree with you completely. The point of covering a song (in my opinion) is to add your own style to it.

[blufire]

its good and all but i think u took away the main mood of the song

thats really the only reason why i dont like this cover

lol like adam lambert xD he kept the original mood into this song when he sang it

good job though keep it up!

[mezzol]

Brilliant well done

[TheSelfishPrick]

I know it's kind of a big request, but can you post a video on how to play the piano part? Thanks. :)

[Thsiscool]

nice

[DeryckBanks]

QFlo90 - Ich verstehe was du meinst.. danke schon.. ;o)

[QFlo90]

das ist zu schnell gesungen !

Langsamer... und mehr Gefühl reinbringen !!!!

[DeryckBanks]

Thanks again for all the encouragement - I'm working on some Pink Floyd songs at the moment.. so watch this space!! Any requests anyone???

[nomebelloccio]

you're the best!

complimenti!^^

[ancienthun]

slow down

[mezzol]

very good i like it

[ratoci]

one whole tone lower, that's ok

BUT PLAY with a plausible sense of TIME PLEASE!

thanks

[airsoftman332]

i agree slow down bit cause the way i play it, sounds just like on the 360 but i dont do the singing i never tried lolol

[littledudest]

I like it fast, closer to the original TfF version...

[OmegaZero718]

That was beautiful...i dont care for the speed! its awsome

[Alexyo1990]

Good, but slow it a bit and it would be perfect

[theprophetlazarus]

Good Job

I love the Original songs and althought I prefer the pace of the others I respect this is a cover and really good I see you put some effort into it and the fact you are a fan of the originals is good =p, 5/5

Greetings From Kernow and England(and my friend is here so Germany too lol)

[Pimo03]

I like this, Nice piano too! A lot of people don't understand 2 things:

1. This is a cover

2. The origional is really fast ... if you listen to Tears for Fears. How many people think Gary Jules wrote this? pfff

Awsome Job man! i do wish i could sing half as good as you

[DeryckBanks]

Thanks! I think I needed a comment like that. I have had many comments from people to 'slow down'.. which is fine.. but the point of my version is to create something a bit different.. it is a kind of cross between the original Tears for Fears version and the Gary Jules version. I like both versions so much for different reasons.. and my version is a sort of tribute to both.. and sits in the middle there somewhere! Thanks for understanding.. Deryck

[DRHOUSE922]

very good man^^

5 stars by an italian "mad world" fan

[DeryckBanks]

Thanks my Italian friend.. multo bene.. Grazie!

[natevanbregt]

jeeze,its not the world record race there,SLOW DOWN.

[KoRcSElMeLeT]

rohadt gyors, és nem adja át azt az érzést, mint az eredeti, nagyon saját előadás, egy ilyen számnál kellett volna egy kicsit törekedni arra, hogy hasonlítson az eredetire...

[DARTHTOM56]

Greta playing and singing but slow it down a bit

[bublrck23]

a little too fast for my liking, but still good

[ActressElphie]

Wow, I love how you twisted it a little to really make it your own. Very nice, and your vocals and piano playing are great. Five stars.

[JonR47]

Good job

Keep it up

[nemolilau]

It is TEARS FOR FEARS !

[MyAddiction2You]

hey man, this is really good. when i first heard the singing, i didn't know if i liked how you kind of changed the tone and melody. but i really like how you made it a bit more upbeat. nice change. 5 stars.

[RUBENATER25]

thats the original verson from tears for fears

[AndrewPenketh]

Really well done, thanks for sharing that on YouTube. Please check out my piano playing. I'm not brave enough to sing, so I admire you for that!

[music20011]

I love the sound of your piano. It is sectacular. I don't know what the thing about it is but it is.

[DeryckBanks]

It's a Yamaha Clavianova - I created the 'piano sound' myself by taking one of the existing piano sounds and adding some reverb and richness and then added a subtle 'dx pad' to it too. I love the sound of it too!

[realaeon]

Great!!!

[nientoz]

great version

sound great with chorus on your voice

brill!

[adamtriebs]

This is one of the most original versions of this song that I've found on youtube. Great job!

[Thrukalash]

good job, was new but still sounded great

[rainray]

I did not realise you could play this well. your old ante/post natal buddy. Ray

[turboseb90]

I want this key board, it seems awesome! Great job, I really appreciate the way you play! Continue to experiment. Maybe the melody is a little jerked (I dont really speak english, but I mean that it changes of speed to quickly) Particulary after the chorus. But Hey, I mentionned it, your a great player, man!

[xspinx]

slow down dude:)

but yeah, a very nice cover! keep up the good worrk!

[serpento99]

Wow man, I was amazed! Keep up the good work!

[DeryckBanks]

True...

[matchnl]

The rhythm is a little off, not just the speed.

The 8th note of the song (the number 8, not eighth-note as in music) should be played slightly faster before the chord comes in.

[naddlchn]

Its very good but its

too fast, isnt it?

[DeryckBanks]

I agree, it's faster than the Gary Jules version, and slower than the original Tears for Fears version.. sort of making up my own version I guess! Anyway, as long as people enjoy hearing something different that's the main thing. Music is there to be enjoyed and experimented with - would be boring if everything sounded the same.

Hope to listen to some of your music some day.

All the best

Deryck

[satanshand3]

your singing it tears for fears style

[DeryckBanks]

Thanks for all the positive comments! I love this song and have tried to give it a different twist, so to speak. I've tried to do this for the other songs I've put on here - check 'em out if you fancy something different. Oh.. and make sure you listen to the original artists versions too - now THEY are awesome!

Thanks again! Keep rating and commenting, always cheers me up to see some nice feedback.

[Blazemann00]

You took out the middle and ending singing positions and made them solos... I must saty you did great though!

[ravedragonoflight]

this was good, and i mean very good... i wish i was like you... you added a new sound to it which makes it awesome. keep it up

[akiidoka21]

Whoa! I wish i could play a piano that beautifully. :O

Rock out, man! You're really good! :D
