Mad World

Gary Jules Pop

"Mad World" is a song originally written by Roland Orzabal and performed by the British band Tears for Fears in 1982. However, it gained significant popularity when it was covered by American singer-songwriter Gary Jules in 2001. Jules' rendition of the song, featured in the film "Donnie Darko," achieved great success and became an international hit. The haunting melody of "Mad World" is characterized by its melancholic piano arrangement, which perfectly captures the song's reflective and introspective lyrics about the struggles of life.
