[@braedon26]

This made me think that "everybody wants to rule the world" in the same style (or way too happy) would be really cool

[@PingMe23]

"Everybody wants to rule the world" is my favorite song of all time. With that said, I would support it being turned into a highly processed, bubblegum pop song. The lyrics are about corruption and thirst for power, something we're still seeing too much 35 years after the song's release. Yes, the song is pop-ish already, but I'd listen to a cover dripping with saccharine sarcasm.

[@LonePyroWolf]

Everybody wants to go to War.

I feel the whole song had a sort of linkin park vibe going through it especially the opening it was like listening to what iv done. Awesome cover as always :)

[@wyattstevens8574]

Instead of Linkin Park, I thought of Blue Man Group's Up To the Roof! ("I'm taking the fire escape... up to the roof...") but maybe in writing this song, BMG meant to sound like LP. After all, it's the exact same chord progression!

[@Strabius]

I'm so ecstatic to see a cover of the Tears For Fears song and not the Gary Jules cover, it's a good version but the original sounds like it has so much more anger and frustration in it, and you really brought that out here. Thank you for blessing my life with this.

[@adansantos4456]

You should hear palaye royals they do good

[@michaeltagor4238]

THANK YOU! I've been saying for as long as I could remember that Gary Jules's version sounds like some sad whining, but everyone can't seem to not respect the old man's version which is a good thing so I always just let it be

[@fletchbg]

Yeah I just went thru half a dozen cover videos on YT and all of them, up until this one, follow the glacially-paced Gary Jules arrangement. I prefer the original's uptempo arrangement, and was really glad to hear someone-- anyone-- do an uptempo cover

[@matthansen7935]

Lyrics All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces Bright and early for their daily races Going nowhere, going nowhere Their tears are filling up their glasses No expression, no expression Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow No tomorrow, no tomorrow And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take When people run in circles it's a very very Mad world, mad world Children waiting for the day, they feel good Happy birthday, happy birthday Made to feel the way that every child should Sit and listen, sit and listen Went to school and I was very nervous No one knew me, no one knew me Hello teacher, tell me what's my lesson Look right through me, look right through me And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take When people run in circles it's a very very Mad world, mad world Enlarge your world Mad world

[@maeve615]

The various covers of Mad World all sound like the varying stages of depression. The faster tempo (usually a rock or metal cover) sound like the mania that often occurs when angry or frustrated while being depressed. The slower (usually piano driven) versions sound like the nihilistic crash after the mania where you're teetering on the edge of succumbing to the depression.

This sounds a lot like Offspring's Gone Away guitar-wise

[@fernandocillo8905]

oooooh so thats the name of the song playing in my head, thanks

[@Postdotfuzz]

I could not disagree more. Sure, they're both playing power chords on 8th notes most of the time but that's 99% of hardrock/punk songs The timbre is so different! The Offspring song has a lot more highs and mids in the tone, referring to the EQ; it's "bumped." The Bros here are utilizing a "cut" tone and it sounds world's apart to me. I think the offspring is using tube or analog amps as well, because their sound has a lot more clarity and attack, while The Bros. are using modern, digital amplifiers, resulting in more even dynamics and a denser distortion; at least, that's what is sounds like to me. I would compare the guitar tone in this track to a lot of post-hardcore from the early 2000s.

[@tysej4]

@@Postdotfuzz You know, taking your time to write all that, some might call it weird. But I think in a way what OP said resonated with you... You heard the power-chord on the 8th note and could see that, but by noticing that you started to notice all the things that's different. You must really care for music huh?

[@cagey_87]

@@fernandocillo8905 i actually think it's the drum sound design and the way they are structured that make it sound like gone away in my opinion although the guitar does on occasion give me a pang of gone away but i think that's more to do with the chords used than the guitar sound. but i definitely hear it too.

This sounds nice, but I think that when you make a metal cover, you should also make your voice a bit rougher to fit the genre better. I'm no expert though.

[@CloudMountainJuror]

Metal doesn't need to be really heavy to count as metal. I think his voice fits into the genre very naturally as is. If anything I respect the restraint on their part.

[@LadyArsenica1]

Not necessarily rougher, but fuller and with more passion/desperation, to fit the lyrics.
