Get this single here: hyperurl.co/bb4zx2
Oh hello. Did you know that it is Friday where I am today? Here's a Tears For Fears/Gary Jules tune from my Sequestered Stream Show that I produced last year. I received so many requests for this one in this somber style. How could I resist? Coffee. Pie. Good Cry.

[@PuddlesPityParty]

I'm planning on making an album of favorites from my Sequestered Show stream series. What are some of your favorites that you want to see included?

[@123456789legodude]

New Whiskey River ❤

[@raquelvivalma2656]

Under Pressure/Let it Go

[@jasavak]

Is the REM "Losing My Religion " viable ?

[@John-V9]

So sorry to go off topic but I had to make sure you read this. Please consider trying "A criminal mind" by Gowan. No matter how you perform and spin it, you 'll do it more justice than anyone else I can think of. P.S. Back on topic, I loved all three of you on Under Pressure/Let it go (The pie eater's occasional despair was brilliant) Also, your take of "Where is my mind" was perfect.

[@MsMaryO88]

Desperados Under The Eaves, please.

[@LootGoblin4510]

I would love Puddles to do "who wants to live forever" by Queen, I reckon he would Ace it !!

[@emilygracey]

😳😳😳 Oh. My. God. That just blew my mind and I hope with my whole being he reads this and takes it into consideration. I can almost hear what it woulc sound like in my head. Great suggestion!!!

[@YvonneWilson312]

Oh wow, yes - it's a perfect song for him!

[@BillbotPrime]

YEEEEEEEEEEES!

[@neonsmoviereviews7969]

Has he ever not aced it?

[@20lazytiger]

This.

[@ponyboygarfunkel1675]

As a natural melancholic loner, this song has always resonated with me. I love this aching rendition. Thank you, my sad clown friend. Blessed are the Peaceniks.

[@ponyboygarfunkel1675]

I want to mention, the spinach bit at the end gave me a chuckle. I love absurd humor.

[@123456789legodude]

I ❤ that you always put songs through the Puddles filter, so they have your unique interpretation - sometimes they sound like a completely new composition!

[@johnlombardo7816]

My favorite is to this day crazy train. That still astounds me, I didn't realize the lyrics at all until he did it. Actually going to listen to that right now ! 😂👏🏻

[@girrizzuto66]

The duet with Haley is great, but I've been DYING for this solo! Thank youuu!! I LOVE YOU!!!

[@backwoodsentertainment358]

Sometimes I wonder what makes you so special. .other times I just listen and weep. Thanks ?

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

Sometimes mere words are not enough to explain feelings. And that's where music, poetry, painting, etc take over. ^-^

[@starwyvern010]

This is one of my favorite songs of all time, and your rendition is heavenly!

[@wadeseymour7706]

Puddles continues to blow my mind!

[@ichiwawamama]

I've always loved this song, since Tears for Fears released it originally. Mad World is a title for current time, but soothing when Puddles is singing it.

[@DJSockmonkeyMusic]

Its the only Tears for Fears song I like, but it's so god damn good.

[@ichiwawamama]

@@DJSockmonkeyMusic I like all of their music. Roland Orzabal is a fine songwriter and producer. Mad World has been covered by so many over nearly 40 years, so I think it’s the most recognized. Some of the best songs on an album never hit the airwaves (back in the day…showing my age).

[@enzovillegas1116]

Didn't knew there was a full solo version. LOVE IT

[@GeriMars]

The greatest, most profound meaning comes in silence. Listen to the pauses. 💯

[@villebooks]

you are right, Geri, pauses are the profound element in music

[@GeriMars]

@@villebooks I find the way Puddles doesn't finish a line, leaves out a lyric or a few, and even changes lyrics occasionally, extremely enjoyable on a number of levels. I like his artistic/expressive choices/decisions.

[@curtish76]

Absolutely!

[@chrishodgson6302]

Superb version. It’s not just the stunning voice which captivates, it’s the other intricate details I love. The pauses are brilliant, especially the one after “sit and listen”. Dragging his voice on certain words such as “worn out” and “mad world” to enhance their emphasis. And the facial expressions are brilliant. They relate a story. I’m no vocal expert; I just appreciate hard work and talent. I can’t say it’s better than the duet with Haley Reinhart as it’s so different. I love them both.

[@pamelamaccabee637]

Same here.

[@zhendawes8802]

I love this song, and I love your version! It always brings a smile to my face when I get a notification from you! Thanks! 🕊️&❤️

[@BeingBoringx2]

So good. Hearing just one "no tomorrow" put chills up my back and made that lyric all the more strong.

[@darlastacy6368]

Puddles, the focus you give to each word of every song creates perfection that is so intense it demands our complete focus on you. Quite a gift you have there.....thanks for sharing it with us.

[@Matt-vv7fl]

Love this. It's the perfect song for the world we live in now. Thank you.

[@Nikua13]

Such an iconic song. It was part of a great movie soundtrack: Donnie Darko. I wish its lyrics were not as valid as they are today. We have been placed in isolation, and I fear that technological connections don’t work as well a hugs. Keep hope alive. Pray for each other. May God bless and keep you all.

[@l.e.b.5383]

and you.

[@kamelslife2844]

yesss, this song is the theme song for donnie darko for me.

[@iamthesilence9063]

I liked this song since I watched the Donny Darko movie, but now I love it much more. Somehow with any kind of music; you just make it... magic. 🌟❤❤ Thank you so much, Puddles.

[@stuartmunro6027]

I like the treatment of the piano in all his versions of the songs he sings... Gives that melancholic feeling of walking down a misty moor into nowhere.....

[@orclord5719]

This song always hits me. Gears of War 3. Brothers to the end

[@UkiMalefu]

Good ad. I'm running right now to the forest to get me a can of Allen´s Spinach!

[@jeromeprater183]

You know what the saddest thing is about this song? It truly applies to our current times.

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

We will get through this too. Most people everywhere in the world just want us all to have peace and prosperity. But we don't see those people because that is so much more common. That all of the good people do is not "news" is a good thing. The average person is a good person. If the reverse were true, the news would always be about someone astonishingly did something positive for a change. lols Never forget that news by it's very nature is intrinsically sensationalist. Add the greed of capitalism, and you have those who seek out all of the horrible things that happen, while ignoring all of the "boring" but good things the average person does everyday. Yes, things are a huge mess at this time, but that sensationalism is largely to blame. This is something each of us has the power to change on a personal level. And as more and more of us do that, others will have more good examples to follow. Also, when I feel bad about it all, as happens often and is simply a natural reaction, I like to read a history book or watch a documentary to remind myself that over time we are winning the struggle for _Liberty And Justice For All._ Hope you and everyone have a good day/night. ^-^

[@sunshineinarizona1726]

@@aylbdrmadison1051 Nice positive message.

[@hamonoverdrive6111]

it applies to all times, my dude. every generation struggles in it's own way. there was never such a period of time when a simple man was happy and sure of his future.

[@honorineperera2903]

So true, it's a mad world.....

[@ultranate8618]

What a beautiful voice. I wish you would sing in every house is a heartache. That would be awesome

[@rockstar8970able]

I love Puddles he hypnotizes you with his expressions

[@x0thorn0x]

This song got me through that end of 2019 and beginning of 2020. Perfection.

[@user-dv6sf3om8z]

Я восхищаюсь этим голосом и энергетикой!!!! Браво!!!

[@damogran42]

the best cover of this song ever.

[@Boondockmum]

This song struck me when used for the trailer to "The Crazies." (Remake) I've listened to it on repeat multiple times during times of distress and it always does something positive to my psyche. This is an Excellent cover. Such a fan. Be well. Stay safe. ✌🏼☮️🌎

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

You're not alone. ^-^

[@Ominous-Shadows]

I remember it from there and the first gears of war commercial

[@letsgobrandontrump2024]

@Puddles Pity Party thank you for your hard work and dedication

[@letsgobrandontrump2024]

Wish I could like every single time I watch this

[@aspejcher]

No Tomorrow… The fact that he did not say the second “No Tomorrow” (making it literally no tomorrow) was Genius.

[@irmaakkerman3755]

👍👍🏻👍🏿❤️

[@mustard3450]

I love this way of thinking and you do it so well! I take all of my hats off to you!

[@MrAjmay1]

Love the reverb....singing heartache into an empty hall. Perfection.

[@dransdell101]

One of my favorite songs done by one of my favorite people. I needed this today

[@Arthurian.]

Your music has this misanthropic & haunting vibe, it's wonderful. Too much illusion of happy & joyousness in our world today

[@andrewj8774]

So good to hear your own take on this amazing song. On the other version, Haley was great, but drowned out your vocals. Thank you so much, my friend. Keep safe. 😜👍

[@voiceinthechaos]

What a great rendition of this song. I loved the Tears for Fears original, I love the Gary Jules version, and I love yours as well. Great job. Thank you for being you. Much love from Germany.

[@kimberbrown8142]

I find the best way to watch Puddles is reclining with copious amounts of coffee and pie 🥧☕😍

[@themark3000]

I love listing to Puddles. Its soothing and touches my soul.

[@Athairne]

I was DESPERATE for a straighter cover of the Jules version from you! I'm so happy ❤️

[@mikeschaefer9516]

FINALLY!!! Thank you, Puddles! Amazing rendition!!!

[@Iambigdaa]

Thank you, Puddles. I just turned 67 and it's good to come across your rendition of Mad World as I continue on my drive through life. It most certainly is a keeper. David

[@dps5819]

Definitely appropriate for today's times, as usual your voice is Amazing... 😊

[@jasonrouse6912]

This song is me and my life.

[@djaafar1]

The piano work is always highstanding in your covers

[@csorange]

One of my favorite songs! I’m going through a difficult part of my life right now and love your songs!

[@flynnmorrow6945]

I had a home birth last year of a baby who was conceived during the "two weeks to flatten the curve." I had a playlist, and he was born right after this song. It makes me cry every time, thinking about the tragedy of the world, how children are treated, and how meaningless we can make it if we choose. This performance is beautiful.

[@PunkArtist09]

You bring a real passion and feeling to these types of song. You tend to hit strings in our hearts that some either bring back a certain memory or ones that made us really appreciate the song.

[@chefRyan38]

Beautiful job m8, I loved how you drew emphasis to certain lines not by repeating them as the original did but rather by leaving a slightly uncomfortable pause, artful as always.

[@Kevbo2040]

This was already a great song. Gary Jules made it better, and weirdly enough, Puddles has made it even deeper.

[@stephaniegoodwin1049]

I loved this song

[@mishalleroza-ingram6394]

Thanks for covering this Puddles 🖤

[@pisty5928]

WOW NICE VOICE!

[@CartoonLuva]

Dom Santiago, gone but not forgotten RIP

[@Lucas12v]

I know it's silly but for me this song will be forever tied to Gears of War. Good video.

[@ActionGal]

good cry? pie? coffee? i've not done any of these things while watching. instead, just lying in bed enjoying the buttery baritone🎵😌🥳

Best. Love you voice and technic.

[@patrickdean9797]

Thank you Puddles

[@Mr_Meatbox]

The cover you did with Haley is how I discovered you. It's great to hear your solo take on the song

[@KW973]

Glad Jess is also a meal experiment person. I work from home and never eat out for lunch and use that to justify splurging on weekends sometimes. I have people ask me how I do this but leftovers can creatively become new meals. Ramen bricks with leftover Skyline instead of the pure sodium seasoning packet with shredded cheddar is the cheapskate 3-way.

[@SomewhereInIndiana1816]

fabulous, as always, Puddles!! Thank you!!

[@Gus_and_Gia_Puppet_Show]

Love Tears For Fears, and you made this song so much better! Awesome voice Puddles!

[@chefRyan38]

I love your style, what drew me in was your performance of Losing My Religion and Chandelier, the big stage opera styling of the climax. If you were to revisit those styles I would like to suggest Street Spirit by Radiohead.

[@JustSomeOldGuy]

TBH, Puddles' version of Chandelier is infinity times better than Sia's.

[@bmoneyktm]

I'll put this here also, I have severe epilepsy and have lost everything in my life. I've had 2 brain surgeries and am at the lowest point in life.. it's so hard to just get up everyday.. let alone taking on the world everyday, especially when you are alone.. I just hope one day I will have someone there for me.. I'm trying to hold on one day at a time, but it's just so damn hard. The woman I loved and her 2 kids left me and just walked away saying it's to much for her to deal with and that she didn't love me anymore.. I lost my dogs and my job and faa said I cant ever fly again or work on planes ever again.. I was getting my pilots license and doing A&P tech classes to be an aviation mechanic. I know life isn't fair, but why is it keeping me around.. I just wish it would all end.. no more pain or suffering anymore. Yet I fall asleep and wake up each day praying for a way out.. I'm still here and I thank Puddles and all the other musicians that help me get thru each day..

[@myoume987]

Amazing!
