  • I mean death

  • This reminds me of Dominic Santiago's Beaty scene R.I.P Dom

  • donnie darko

  • For all you ppl talking about gears, It was obvious Dom would die. It just made a great story.

  • @Dalllas39 Are you talking about a movie or a v series maybe? Possibly NCIS LA?

  • @sjonak1 video game, gears of war 3

  • @R3dTigerM40A3 oh...ok

  • Before anyone says yes I knew this before gears.

    BUT SPOILER! :'(

    -shot-

  • thanks to the people ruining a part of gears 3 when commenting on this piece >:(

  • tutorial please ?

  • TRy look for the lyrics and sing while the piano plays!

  • @TiredEyesOfAnger that ruins the point of the song imo. When it is just quite with the piano cover, i think it is much more emotional. but someone that sings and plays will be very impressive

  • Before anyone says yes i knew this before gears.

    BUT DOM! :'(

    EMOTIONAL WHEN THIS CAME ON.

  • 26 people live in a mad world.

  • @vuurwerk2368 I learned this song after about three weeks of playing, granted it was during the summer and I had a lot of free time but after some struggling I figured it out just watch some tutorials

  • who were the 26 who downed it??? they must have no heart:P

  • this is perfect, just mind for the vibrating, get a good better recording system to go with your great music x

  • *30 minutes A day

  • @Sufimancer

    Sorry for the late reply, but it went well. I learned the whole song perfectly in about a week, like 30 minutes and day, an hour the first day though. From what I have to say, it's just overwhelming at first because of all the new stuff, but it's basically just repeating itself over and over and over again. I found it too easy, so I learned "He's a pirate" on piano and it's hard, but so fun to play.

  • i think 28 people either don't have feelings or ears

  • it sucked at 3:01

  • Great job! It sounds beautiful! (it was great the way you added in all the crecendos)

  • This is the best recording on YouTube! Thank you! :)

  • Hey can you send me the sheet music or something, my regular suppliers don't have this song and I would have to pay $7-10

    for them -:o

  • tutorial... i beg of you :) O_O i loved this :D xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I cn't find a good tutorial aywhere, and this version sounds really good :) it sounds better than the original :)

  • @Skillsforever117 I would think its just about learning how to mic your setup. Unless you have a toy piano, but even one that isnt the best would be good i would think.

  • Jolly good, Sir. Jolly good.

  • This song is so beautiful

  • I'm learning this for graduation.. It's big deal, we've been living in school for 3 years.

  • amazing

  • so beautiful, i cried.

  • I plated this at my school in front of 600 people, it was awsome! Te song is a real beauty.

  • I'm learning this for my grade 4 piano solo contest in the summer :D

  • the only way I can see why people  dislike this video is the fact they're jealous

  • I love your piano!

  • very nice

  • Its a mad world to see this song drop off the face of the earth, Nice job :D

  • Nice check my acapella version of mad world... advice appreciated lol

  • what happened to this song? it just dropped off the face of the earth. shame. i't beautiful. thank you for he effort you put into this.

  • I love this song :D

  • Hey see my cover too. This is brilliant btw! :)

  • at beginning FAIL :D... but its realy nice.. good work :)

  • EMPIC HOW DID U DO IT?!?! p.s. i am a fan of ur music can u make more? :]

  • @LolitasLove its actually very easy.. almost the whole song is just repeating itself

  • check out my friend EV DUB's cover of this beautiful song on trumpet! it sounds amazing! :) -video is on my channel

  • This is the keyboard version lol.

  • Mm sounds good but try using the pedal. It sounds à bit flat right now.

  • I can almost play this song, I just need to learn to play it faster, great vid btw.

  • im going to be able to do this someday >:)

  • I know an 11 year old can do this (not a critisize) I couldnt do it

  • 20 people are fucking idiots for missing the like bar thumbs if you agree

  • OMGOMG IMMA GEARS OF WAR FAN!!!

  • I LOVE GEARS OF WAR!!!!! thats why i like this song because it was on Gears of War! Not because of the song!

  • Comment removed

  • @metalbox85 learn to notice sarcasm man.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG,i'm trying to learn this just to share this song to my friends

  • @19t0Ny91 no it was made for donnie darko(a really good movie actually)

  • thx for the sheet

  • @19t0Ny91 thats funny. im not sure if i believe u but fuck it. its still funny.

  • @19t0Ny91 no offense but this is seriously a dumb ass question. this song only came out about ten years before the game was made and the original from "Tears for fears" about ten before that. Questions like this is what GOOGLE was invented for. use it

  • this is the best version of a piano cover for "Mad World - Gary Jules" !

  • one of the best songs in history

  • Rarely do you find songs that touch very deeply.

  • apb >.>

  • you can play it better than me and i thought how i played it was good, but you can do the bit i don;t do in the chorus and the second verse which is include that second note, i miss it out,

  • Your link doesn't work.

  • awww, i just graduated. this song really fits that whole "go your own path now moment"

  • donnie darko!

  • I went to a marching band show last night and this was one bands theme. It was creepy cause there was a big yellow full moon above them in the sky the whole time.

  • That's what I call "song". There is a beautiful melody in this song, not like in rap, techno, and some variations of metal. They only have rhythm and lyrics, they missing the real melody. But this... this is a masterpiece. Good job on covering it!

  • amazing how much a simple song can reach out to you as much as this does .

  • i love your music ;)

  • That was the most amazing cover version of mad world I have ever heard in my life

  • Can you all check out my version please :)

    watch?v=3vcQmviWovY

  • nice!

  • This song is on the crazies

  • Great rendition there! To make it more depressing, slow it down a bit xD

  • This is amazing. There is very little difference from the original, well done. Timing was great, notes were correct, and sound was awesome.

    Bravo !

  • you made me cry! this is delightfully amazing!

    I wish I could play like this!

    :'D

  • I don't play the piano, and I never have, but I learned how to play this song in 2-3 hours...

    When I say ''I don't play the piano'' I mean I don't have a teacher.

    Thing is, this song is rather simple when you find the right speed...

    It is a very beautiful song though...

  • I completely agree with you, it is rather odd how such a simple song sounds rather beatiful and amazing to foreign ears, to music stranger's eyes; hell, even to experienced pianists, it might seem like a sentimental, deep piece.

  • For sure... I don't believe that ''beautiful'' has to be complicated, it can be the most simple of things, music or otherwise...

    Anyway, it's a really good song, although it might sound quite sad, it still makes me happy :P

  • Super Duper ='3

  • super

  • :] Gears of War. <3 Beautifully played.

  • This is amazing, I wish I could play it like that.

  • i learnt it really fast after watching a tutorial on youtube. i cant even read music

  • @ RazorCell7 & nonamesleftatall1

    Shut up and listen to the song. Stop arguing and enjoy the music.

  • I don't think anyone could have put more feeling into it.

    Good job.

  • it's kind of funny how songs like these can be so peaceful yet give off a depressing feeling. just an opinion btw

  • yea like ´´dead can dance ´´ host of sarophin or something like that makes me feel exactly the same

  • @Ibanez3x

    Yeppp

  • @Ibanez3x Kind of weird replying to a 7 month old comment, but that is 100% true. These songs are just too beautiful to set aside, despite their depressing mood.

  • @Ibanez3x Depressing + peaceful = melancholy. I love that word; in fact it's the name of the playlist that Mad World sits in on my iPod.

  • @Ibanez3x i know. like i feel like dying-lilwayne, and enjoy the silence-depeche mode

  • oh i love this song mmmhhhh............

    I can play piano,too.

  • This song reminds me alot about Child Soldiers in Warfare how they don't have the chance to grow up cause most of them die in the end

  • Child soldiers? As in like Africa? United states doesnt have child soldiers or any european country

  • are you an idiot? have I ever listed a country?

  • ARe you an idiot? Morphing the meaning of this song to represent some child soldiers? Enough with watching Blood Diamond my friend. And you are an idiot for one more reason (There are so many) Child soldiers are most common in africa, so of course i thought you meant that.

  • Well you proved you are very ingnorant and a fucking idiot do us all a favor and show some fucking respect

    there are child soldiers all over the world you fucking dumbass Iraq, Afghanista, Cuba, Vietnam, Korea, Mexico, etc.. yes and EVEN AFRICA

    you retard

  • @nonamesleftatall1

    I think he is referring to the 18-21 year olds fighting for our country. Be that as it may, i don't agree that they are children. They made a choice, and they chose to defend their nation. That's seems a very unchildish decision to me.

  • you kinda mest up in the begging but other than that nice job

  • its a good song pretty easy to learn too

  • Comment removed

  • Very soooooothing.... =)

  • this song makes me so fucking depressed :/. but i keep listening to it.

  • i know what your saying

  • slit your fucking wrists. just do it, nobody would care.

  • lol it has a sort of depressed feeling to it, but its still good song =]

  • very sad and gloomy ... just like Gloomy Sunday ..

    it's like having pieces of your broken fragment hearts on your hands, and don't know what to do ...

  • "cool story, bro"

  • well its not that depressing the song is about the world and the diffrent people. its acually a sound track in the best science fiction movie ever mad. Its a beautiful song, not depressing, listen to my immortal by amy lee, thats depressing.

  • Donnie Darko <3

  • "the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had"....or.... "their tears are filling up their glasses".... or..... "hide my head I want to drown my sorrow, no tomorrow"? That sounds just a wee bit depressing...

  • I agree with you. This song is a pice of art and is rreally relaxing.

    I can listen to this all day long.

  • this is my favourite song and you like made it even better!

    Bravo!! thepianocian Bravo!!

  • This song is easy ^^ I'be learn it in a half hour.

    You play it wonderfull.

  • his songs that he supposedly "transposes" are so simple and easy

  • I can Play this song to, i've trained on this song around 5 1/2 hours i think, something around there. And i can play the song perfect.

  • most interesting a deep feeling song, i love it, awsome fives up

  • Wrong in the first part:( But its well done:D Its very near to perfect!!!

  • agreed, but it's not it's simplicity that makes it beautiful

  • how did you get started playing

  • incredibal talent!!!

  • I love your delicacy :3

  • I never really like modern/pop songs and focused a lot on classical. You made me like playing new genres.

    I think you're doing a great job, posting these videos and the sheets in your other website.

    Salute to you!

  • Wow, just wow. so peaceful, so nice, your a great pianist (i dont know if i spelt that right) keep making new songs, i subscribed
