Gary Jules - Mad World Cover

We live in a mad world...

"Mad World" is a song by the British band Tears for Fears. Written by Roland Orzabal and sung by bassist Curt Smith, it was the band's third single release and first chart hit, reaching #3 on the UK Singles Chart in November 1982. Both "Mad World" and its b-side, "Ideas As Opiates", would turn up on the band's debut LP The Hurting the following year. The song would eventually become Tears for Fears' first international success, reaching the Top 40 in several countries between 1982 and 1983.

Two decades later, the song made a popular resurgence when it was covered in a much slower, ballad-like style by composers Michael Andrews and Gary Jules for the soundtrack to the movie Donnie Darko. This version reached no.1 in the UK in December 2003.

The song resurged in popularity again with the Gary Jules version performed by Adam Lambert on American Idol TV show in April, 2009. Lambert chose this performance as his encore during the season 8 finale, May 19, 2009.

The only thing I love more than your voice in this is the credits you put in the description. It was all "bam! Correct history of this song. DO NOT DISPUTE." Made me giggle a little. This was gorgeous, by the way
