Will never forget: I was on the way to Logan airport- must have been like 10 years old. I'm in the back of the airport shuttle listening to this song on my ipod classic. Right when he says "worn out faces" we pass by a run down sign for an abandoned disco called "Faces" It completely blew my mind. What are the odds of me listening to that song, in that place, with that timing?

[@GaryJulesOfficial]

This is pretty crazy, tbh

i have one question. By any chance do you now gears of war?

[@thelizox]

I don’t think Donnie Darko would have felt “complete” without Gary Jules’ Mad World. The way that this song compliments the end of the movie is what I think adds that last piece of puzzle to the picture. It also arguably helps you understand what the ending of that movie really means too.

[@GaryJulesOfficial]

So glad you like it⭐️

[@thelizox]

@@GaryJulesOfficial I love both your version of the song and Tears For Fears’ original version. They both sound so different and unique, but both of them are very beautiful in their own way. So glad you could make it possible with Micheal Andrews and Donnie Darko.

[@GaryJulesOfficial]

@@thelizox So agree. The TFF version was huge for me growing up, which I why I always loved covering it, even before we did the version for the movie. 🗺

This song will always remind me of a friend that "unalived" herself in high school. Her funeral was PACKED, and while that was a good thing, I couldn't help but feel like so many of the kids there only went to take a day off of school. So many of them I knew for a fact weren't friends with her, let alone knew her. Annoys me to this day, 17 years on.

This song gives me chills everytime the exact same way it did when I heard it for the first time. I remember that moment distinctly because I pulled over to the side of the road to listen intently with no distraction. Perhaps the best cover in the history of music, it's on the same shortlist that Hurt as sung by Johnny Cash is. It completely changes and overtakes the original in your head.

One of the only other examples I know of songs that I almost entirely prefer the cover to the original is Midge Ure's cover of The Man Who Sold The World.

[@stiffjalopy4189]

Came here to say the same thing. So many covers just seem like vanity projects where the new singer just thinks the song would be better if only they did it, but every once in a while the cover brings something out that the original artist maybe didn’t even know was there. I liked the Tears for Fears version, but I LOVE this one.

[@credenzamostro]

When I first saw this, I must have been 7 or 8 years old, I had already heard the song, naturally, but never watched the video before. It filled me with a new emotion, one I had never felt before, nor had the vocabulary to articulate, I was entranced by this grey American cityscape bathing in the beautiful sunset sun, Michael Andrews forlornly accompanying it with his piano; it looked like a place I could only catch a faint glimpse of in my dreams, or out of the corner of my eye, while staring out the window in class. In the years since it has bedeviled my imagination and inspired my art, the feeling the sunset gave me never leaving me. Today I found out to my dismay my own grey Arcadia was actually just Hoboken, NJ. Damn you Michel Gondry.

It was one of the many things we bonded over when we first started talking and now it's something I listen to now I can't hear her beautiful voice anymore. I took her for granted and came home from work to find her gone one night. She's the most beautiful soul I've ever met and I've lost the most important part of me. I never deserved someone so precious, but she gave herself to me for the time that she did and I had the best part of my life with her. The absence of her smile makes my life a dull tone of grey and I'll never be the same without her. The world doesn't know how much it needs that girl.

I'm Dave and I'm 67. I've found that once broken, relationships just can't be fixed. There is no way to return to how things were in the past. It's tough. You won't get over it. But there's nothing you can do.

[@oliver.n278]

I know how you feel, experienced the same. 7 years passed now, I still rememember her. "Go get her back" does not work if one person just decided otherwise. I agree to Dave, once something is broken you cant fix it as hard as it sounds. Life often is about moving on and I wish you the best to happen in future!

I'll never understand how people are so heartfelt and creative, and I'll never get tired of it.

Listened to it when first released. Still listening years later. Every day. At least once. Thanks for this version.

Masterpiece

appreciate you 💯

God that first part alway hit hard. It's a mood. Litteraly. they"re not complex lyrics or an intricate melody but together they really really work to express a trully melancholoc feeling.

[@allencollins6031]

You just described the genius of Paul McCartney.

[@kristihackworth6855]

Absolutely poetic! Thank you for this.

[@GaryJulesOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed it! ⭐️

[@jacquelinewarner-smith1770]

I'd heard this song a lot as, y'know, a meme song for melodramatic situations. I always loved it. I watched Donnie Darko for the first time a couple of months ago, not knowing that this version of Mad World was recorded for that film. It hit SO different at the end of the movie. You and Michael Andrews did something really special with this song.

[@GaryJulesOfficial]

Appreciate the kind words. Thanks for coming.

the original video from over 13 years ago is actually gone, such sadness :( I lost my mother in January 2024, life seems meaningless, and now its just me and my father trying to value everything about my future now when I turn 19 which is why I am glad that this copy was saved as mad world is just such a beautiful song by you Gary Jules! its honestly the song that has helped us in tough times and upon our troubles to find the reflections within ourselves that even if there isn't a meaning that life must keep going and so we even if it ends as nothing. thank you for this memory and childhood nostalgia, such a timeless masterpiece and so I hope everyone stays strong and to a more meaningful future I hope to see you all there ciao!

[@GaryJulesOfficial]

Actually this is the original video. 😃 It was made in 2004 by Michel Gondry, and we worked with his team last year to get the highest resolution version that exists! So glad you’re here.

[@kevinbrady7674]

@@GaryJulesOfficial@BlitzWizard94 I can totally relate! I kept going back and forth to that video and today I saw it was deleted and I was super confused because I really liked the video (I knew I could listen to the song through other means). Little did I know it'd be re-uploaded by the official Gary Jules channel! I remember when old video was a year old (when I found out about the song).. different times. Coming back to it reminds me of those times and I get nostalgic. Thanks for the amazing song!

[@NMBrayanAmaya]

@@GaryJulesOfficial yeah this is the original but there was a channel with this exact clip but it got taken down unfortunately a few days ago. it was uploaded over 14 years ago so its saddening to see it gone but glad the original is still on your channel it never leaves my heart and is always beautiful

One of those songs that stick with you for the rest of your life. I doubt both Gears (even if it was only used in the trailer, still) and Donnie Darko would feel complete without this song. Bravo Gary

Very nice to hear. Thanks for listening ⭐️

When I was a little kid my father would always play this song on TV and I would love it now It’s been 7 years I still love it the only difference is now I am a teenager and now I understand what it really means :) And probably some people heard this song from Donnie Darko but this song introduced me Donnie Darko

[@GaryJulesOfficial]

Thanks for listening and joining us here 👍

[@BenBreed-2007synthguy]

I remember hearing this song when I was 9 years old and being mesmerized by the beautiful piano playing. I learned it when I was 10 and was so happy when I could play it! I have such good memories of learning this and playing it for my parents in the living room on our upright piano, that was 8 years ago. That house and that piano are gone, but the memories will never die

[@GaryJulesOfficial]

Happy you've got those to hang on to. Thanks for visiting ⭐️⭐️

When i hear this song, I think about the tragedy of 9/11, this song really connecting to the incident. It's so sad that many people have to die in that tragic day... R.I.P to the peoples who died back then😔😔😔

I’ll never forget that day, either.

I have never experienced marriage… I envy you… So much lonely people that seek love and never find it. At least you were able to find it in some form. It is better to have loved and lost to have never loved at all..
