Lyrics:
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head, I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of 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
And I 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 kind of funny
I find it kind of 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
Enlarging your world
Mad world - Hudba
I shot this. It’s all 1 shot. Director was Michele Gondry. One of my career highlights.
Were you there? Excellent work!
I was the jib camera crane operator.
@@nolanbritt342 Oh, wow! Well, hello again. You did some great work 👍
WELL DONE WHAT OTHER WORK CAN WE SEE?
@@rondz1234 Do you like live shows? viddd.co/v/EK9moK
This is the best version of this song by a wide margin. Absolutely perfect for Donnie Darko, which is how I first heard this version of Mad World.
Welcome! Nice to have you here ⭐️
I also love this version. This has become one of my most significant songs and that's really a lot. So thank you very much for this.
OG Gears of War trailer for me
One of the great classics of all time. Adam Lambert elevated this remarkable song in America……. Beautiful!
🇺🇸
@@GaryJulesOfficial Just a brilliant composition! Bravo!
I've heard the Tears for Fears original.. I've heard Adam Lambert cover, but Gary Jules' rendition is the most hard hitting and memorable for me. I find myself singing this version often.
Thank you Mr Jules, for one of my all time favourites.
So appreciative of your kind words⭐️ thx for being a fan and for being here with us
Fits perfectly in 2024.
No kidding ~ he was absolutely prophetic
Jesus is coming home to Rapture the Chruch. Please come home with us. You just have to choose Jesus and not this mad world. For some reason I felt I had to look up this song and when I did I saw your message. Everything happens for a reason. Please hear the call of the Heavenly Father. I am begging you!🫂
@@rachellharlan2435If only you knew how many times I've heard that, and it never ever happens
@@SCARFACE_805 Praise God, your wrong 🙌 🙏 👏
@@danielstadden1149 Please start listening...how many times does God have to wake you up?!?!
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.
So glad you like it⭐️
@@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.
@@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. 🗺
@@GaryJulesOfficial the TFF version is very chaotic and rebellious while this version is more calm and resigned.
agreed. one of my favorite songs in one of my favorite movies
I know it’s not the original, but this is by far my favorite rendition of this song. Timeless and sadly relevant.
Agree and appreciate the kind words. ⭐️
HE totally nailed it. Some covers like this one or say sweet jane by Cowboy Junkies - are just better than the original.
Same. I very rarely like covers as much as the original, but this is a rare example where I think this is the best version.
@@markalexander3659 Very kind of you to say ⭐
I buried my father today, Gary Jules. I played this song at the funeral for him as I find the lyrics to speak to me and convey how I feel in this mad world. Thank you for making this beautiful song.
Condolences, friend. Losing a father is mind bending. We’re all sorry for your loss.
RIP to your dad mate. So sorry for your loss ..
So sorry for your loss.
My sympathy. It's heartbreaking. As this song. Take care.
@@GaryJulesOfficialthank you for the concern and messaging me. It is appreciated. You are right, it is mind bending. I cannot express how I feel.
My wife left me a few weeks ago and moved back to the states. This was one of her favourite songs, it was mine too when I was younger.
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 love you so much sweetheart, show them what you're worth.
Yo, man! Hang in there. Life is a punch in the gut sometimes. You will get through ⭐️
Go get your girl back 😭
Go get her back my friend, life is way too short, spend every day telling her how much you love her, how your heart is hers, fix whatever went wrong, show her your love x
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.
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 love this version so much, I live every day on the edge of suicide, I tell no -one , but it is always there.
Music lets me live
Hugs
I do. Too. You're not alone. Sending light, peace and love your way ❤🙏
Your not alone, your in an ever expanding group at this point, wears on the soul sometimes but we all find our ways to cope with the difficulties of living, some days are easier then others but we get through it
I stand at your side brother, as we peer into the void, it is never alone.
@@lanesfakis5873 Hi, friend. It’s important to talk to someone when you’re in pain and feeling overwhelmed, and I hope this is a safe space to share your feelings. But if you’re experiencing thoughts of suicide or self harm, I want you to know that HELP IS AVAILABLE. Please reach out. You are important and we need you here. Much love and respect, Gary Jules. findahelpline.com/i/iasp
This song hits differently when you are depressed😔
I hope you pull through it bro I hope to God you pull through it.
Amen especially the longer we suffer the more this kinda song becomes normal life
yeh
@@user-vc7qs9ju7p damn straight!
И в стрессе
Children waiting for the day they feel good, happy birthday, happy birthday......
Man. Those lyrics get me sobbing everytime 😭
so good, ikr?
Yes I noticed that… most children with archaic blood are bloody not feeling good ever. It’s really hard to experience as a mother …as my childhood wasn’t like this….
This song got me through depression. This song saved my life after my granny passed away, Thanks for saving my life.
Stay strong, friend ⭐️
Bleibe stark. Ich kann dich verstehen. Musste meine Oma 2017 und meinen Opa 2022(nach schwerer Krankheit) zu Grabe tragen. Es tut immernoch weh😢😢
Just watched Donnie Darko for the first time. Absolutely incredible song
Incredible movie too.
@@jakegrenard682 My favorite of all time
Donnie Darko is my Roman empire
@@cherylvanbosse8957 same lol
This song is eternal!
🚀
I remember the first time I heard Gary’s cover of this song, it changed my idea of the song. It fundamentally brought the song to a level that absolutely shook my soul. I knew it was a special moment in music.
I remember back in Junior year of high school in my AP English Lang class, my teacher one time played the song and the Tears for Fear version and gave us the lyrics. Never heard these beautiful songs until he introduced it to the class. Few years ago, I heard the tragic news that he got cancer and months later, he passed away and was truly heartbroken by this. Funny, kind, intelligent, entertaining and an inspiring teacher. RIP Dr. Mikulics 🙏❤️
Still reeling from the fact that the song has touched so many lives. Some still with us, and some gone. Thanks for sharing ⭐️
Dear mr. Jules, I know that you must have heard this a million times, but let me express my profound gratitude for this beautiful song. It's in my top 10 best ever productions and it still opens my heart everytime I hear it.
Appreciate the kind words ⭐️
@@GaryJulesOfficial you sing mad world very well Gary. Thank u.😊
Was written by tears for fears
@@atomiczinc6420 yes, it's a known fact. Thank you
My favorite this song your voice and the video, Masterpiece Thank you.
Absolute magic. One of the rare times when the cover is better than the original.
Thanks for the kind words. It’s a really touching and universal song.
Nah
Exactly
Best cover EVER!!!
Do not lie
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?
This is pretty crazy, tbh
like mogswamp? hello? why is noone here
Mogswamp listening to god teir music? no way helloo
@@luminos9447 hi!
One of the most beatiful songs ever made
And such a beautiful video by M Gondry
❤ So true ❤
Yes,but it was originally created by tears for fears
One of the most timeless songs of my generation.
Very glad to have you here ⭐️
1980s-1990s?
I understand this song. I've never felt so alone :(
Sometimes singing helps
@@GaryJulesOfficialOk Gary Jules :)
Finally uploaded in HD. Man, this music video takes me back.
Thanks! Gondry’s camp was a big help in getting this HD version together👍
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.
That’s always so great to hear. Glad you’re still enjoying it 🌖
@@GaryJulesOfficial There's something supernatural about this song, I've been listening to it non-stop for a week. Gary, will we be able to look and wait for time beyond the silence?
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.
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.
Feel ya.. there's some incredibly strong musical pieces out there that make art magical, and this is one of those.
I wish this song was like 20 minutes longer.
if you put it on repeat, maybe? 🖤😂
Don't question why...Just enjoy it for what it is.
I remember when I was in college, our math teacher noticed me sitting there, looking sad and unable to concentrate on the board. He came over and asked what was troubling me. He empathized with me, understanding that I had no friends among the 150 students in the class. He took 10 minutes out of his class time just to talk to me. At that time, I hadn't heard this song, but now whenever I listen to it, I can't help but connect it with that memory. It always makes me feel sad
Seems like he was a good guy
He was an ángel .They are person like that and sometimes we find around the way .
I also sat alone and didn’t talk and when people came up to me to ‘empathize,’ it slightly annoyed me. I just like sitting around not taking to people
I was so lonely all Through school..... You got an amazing gift.
I’m a grandmother. Two sons and one grandson. If you ever need to talk don’t hesitate to reach out. Everything always works out for the best.
I was gifted a great work shift Mon-Fri 6am-2:30pm for almost a year. It was a great work/life balance. Now my days off are Mon/Tue and I get home from work about 9 or 10pm. I sleep in on my days off and when I get home nobody is awake at home. Visiting with family is so limited and timed now. I keep putting my faith, projects, seeing friends, and health appointments on the back burner. My alcohol consumption has increased with tough days being more common. When I’m clocked in at work is when I’m most happy. I have a task and a purpose. Not focusing on the crappy side of my current shift. It’s by seniority. A morning shift Mon-Fri coworker is retiring within the year. Hope it happens please! I want my quality of life back.
Donnie darko classic
It fits with the movie very well.
One of the best songs I have ever heard. The first time I heard this I was overcome with emotion and got goosebumps, the same thing still happens to this day. This is so Beautiful
James! Thanks for writing ✍️ So glad to have you here with us⭐️⭐️
@@GaryJulesOfficialyou sing very well😊
Such a beautiful melodic song. Thanks for uploading!
glad you’re enjoying it⭐️
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!
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.
@@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!
@@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
@@BlitzWizard94 It's ok! Much better that everyone who is a fan of the song is coming here to connect with us, instead of going to someone else's channel :)
Thanks so much for being here!@@kevinbrady7674
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.
And people 1:09 right now too
Wow this is real Gary Jules? Why was this video posted so late and why so few subscribers?
Amazing song! No one can count how many people it made cry, multiple times :(
it’s a comeback! thx for watching
oldest uploaded was 17 years ago by orijimi
heard this song lots of times but ever since watching donnie darko i havnt been able to get it out of my head it’s so catchy yet so sad, donnie darko has to be one of the best films out there
🐰🐰🐰🐰
I used to listen to this when I was deeply depressed and bullied through school 5 years ago, got me through tough times. This song helps me remember that struggle so now I appreciate my current life even more, going from ugly duckling to attractive changed the way that people treated me. This song will always be part of my life
Very glad to hear it helped through some tough times ⭐️
I heard/saw this music video when I was really really young and I couldn't remember what it sounded or looked like until I clicked on this. I don't know you man but you managed to live in my head as a blurry memory for about 15 years!!
I’m like a fungus that way 🤩
Sublime doesn't even come close. Saw Curt and Roland interviewed recently and they said it knocked their original into a cocked hat! Praise indeed. Well done Gary and Michael and thank you 🙏
Thanks for watching ⭐️
Why didn’t you see the rest of the band?
@@GaryJulesOfficialthank you for responding to the other fan! It is a blessing to know a wonderful artist like you remains humble and kind and doesn’t act like they are better than everyone else
Brothers ‘til the end.
R.I.P Dom.
⚙️⚙️⚙️
i can’t believe how far i had to scroll to find this. rest easy, dom.
@@jxff2000 Lmao congrats dude.
I'm 20 years old and I really like this song. Several years ago, I found this beautiful song from a book I was reading. I was so impressed that I couldn't stop listening to it every day. Thank you for creating such a valuable work for us to listen to. I'm very happy to see the movement of this song. ❤️🩹✨️
Appreciate u being here ⭐️
When I first saw this video, I must have been 7 or 8 years old, I had already heard the song, naturally, but never seen the video before. It filled me with something I had never experienced 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 had only ever seen 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 has never left me.
Today I found out to my dismay my own grey Arcadia was actually just Hoboken, NJ. Damn you Michel Gondry.
I've had this song in mt head for as long as i can remember and honestly it still helps me cope with my bouts of depression. Thank you.
Wonderful to hear ⭐️
Anytime I’m in a low mood I play this. It allows me to slow down, think and just cry. Sometimes that’s just what you need in the moment
🙌 yes
This song is powerful. I heard this song when I was going through something (the death of a loved one). Thank you for such a beautiful song., it gives me solace everytime I listen to it.
So nice to hear that. ⭐️
What a good song. Dayumn its been awhile.
Welcome back ⭐️
Love this version of this song
Thanks for watching and listening all these years
From my favourite movie, ever! Donnie Darko.
thanks for finding it here⭐️
La escuche hace muchos años y hasta ahora sigue siendo mi canción favorita.
appreciate that ⭐️
This song is so relatable in 2024, depression everywhere.
I value you as a person. Great tune. Some ppl think deserving means well you get what you deserve. I think maybe I'm wrong but ppl deserve nice things. These days are hard to process, better yet no one is well being kind about it. I think a random act of kindness, an epiphany of mine, might just change the world.
Masterpiece
appreciate you 💯
Still have it on my playlist since 2008....love from Algeria Gary
Thx! So nice to have u here ⭐️
Great! One of the best covers in the history of music, completely brought the lyrics to life. One of my all time favourites.😊
Appreciate that!
No, it's not even close to being the best cover. It was butchered.
@@tanyairwin3695 I think you're butchering your own timeline and reality. This song and particularly this version tells you everything you need to know about the world, but if that is too much for you to bear, then you might as well go back to sleep and be 'happy' there.😇
@@D.A.DreamArt "this version" doesn't do the original justice. Anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong and needs some serious help. You must've been dropped on your head as a baby.
Gears of war - mad world , classic!
Yes! 🙌
This song is incredible. It keeps playing in my head at random times, and it's such a mood... Makes me kind of lost in thought sometimes.
Speaking of time for uploading. First time I got to know this song was during a school trip when we stayed in a Palestinian refugee camp in Beirut. A fellow student played it a lot in the evenings. Later we visited Israel and Gaza (before Hamas took over). It really is a mad world.
You’re not wrong, friend.
Donnie Darko feelings
🐰🐰
I'll always associate this song with Gears of War, those were some good times... thank you sir!
RIP, Dom ⚙️
Mad in the Physical and Mental world ...
I remember my dad showing me this version of the song when i was about 5 years old. And that memory is still living in my head rent free ❤ very nostalgic song. Thank you
glad you’re here ⭐️
just found your official channel. I absolutely love this version of the song. To me its the definitive version. I've always been fascinated by the setting of the video too. For some reason, I can't place what city this is, but it just sets the tone perfectly with the music.
Hoboken, NJ; just outside of NYC 👍
For me this song always be connected to the movie "Donnie Darko".
Thanks for finding us here
I first heard this song as a child. Its melancholic realism was too understandable and cathartic even then. How much moreso now, with the times we live. Thank you, Gary Jules for offering a timeless piece that rings true to the lowly wonderers. What a mad world indeed...
Those are kind words. Thanks ⭐️
I was shopping and had to use google to get the name of this masterpiece. I refused to leave without it.
That is dedication. 🫡
This song I can listen to over and over, like remember when you had that feeling when it was your birthday ( younger) .. it is a mad world 😢
It is a bummer that the song continues to be so applicable to the world. but i suppose there will always be madness. it’s important to work through it all, and im so glad you’re still listening✌️
brothers til the end. ⚙️
The Hurting is a masterpiece of an album. Mad World isn't an exception, and Gary Jules does it justice.
That is high praise, and i thank you. Huge fan as well
Time after time when this came up on Mtv i was kinda in a mood. Still after all those years the whole vibe around this tune will never disappear. What an all time classic.
Wow! Back when MTV still played music videos 😂😂 thx for being here
Masterpiece ♥️
I appreciate when people take things and make them their own but also need to share. Shows when you feel most alone, you arent..thank you for making this yours and ours .
Thanks for being watching and for being here ⭐️
Wow. A beautiful video to a beautiful song. Thank you Gary x
Thanks for being here ⭐️
Holy cow, a higher quality version?
Enjoy!
Hvala❤
⭐️🙏⭐️
So far best cover I have heard
That’s high praise! Appreciate it ⭐️
Amazing!
Haunting.
Amazing
This song is beautiful and sad at the same time, To me it actually fits well with SOMA, the two just seems to really go well together with me
I was only eight years old when this version of Mad World was released. At the time I had no idea it was a cover of an 80’s tune by Tears of Fears. Both versions are beautiful.
👍 big agree!
Hauntingly beautiful
It's not a song but a masterpiece and a hit. When i'm alone i listen to this hit and it helps me a lot .Masterpiece forever. Thanks so much Gary jules
Very kind words. thx! 🙏
Love love love this version of this song. It’s one song that makes me tear up in a good way. Thank you.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Maria... baby, I'm sorry I couldn't bring you home... But you're with the kids now, that's home, yeah? I'll see you all again one day... Look, Marcus is busy saving the world again, so I gotta be there for him... Sleep tight, sweetheart
Because it breaks my heart every time I hear it. Even after all these years.
Many thanks for the support 🤩
Sometimes, listening to sad music and songs helps me calm down when I'm feeling upset. This song may be sad but I love it
Very glad it does. thx for being here⭐️
Don’t mention it! 😉👍
Thank you. Ive heard this song so many times over the yrs, makes me feel happy that my dad finally found his peace but it angers me that it took until now to really feel this emotional. God Bless you dad may you RIP 2009
🤗 all things take time. Sorry for your loss
I wish there was a documentary about the filming of this music video and the film that it is featured in and the lives of those that
Powerful song
🙏⭐️
I used to watch a show called Jericho and your song was on there. I watched Donnie Darko last night and your songs on there brought back memories lol great song, beautiful song.
When I have a bad day I can't help but laugh it off and then proceed to listen to this song thinking yeah its a mad world but life will keep going, the worlds nothing but organized chaos, no matter how crazy the world gets I can do nothing but smile and keep pressing onward
this is an excellent outlook, friend. ⭐️
this official music video in hd quality
🤩🤩🤩
I’m just now understanding the real meaning of this now that I’m an adult. I’m so glad I found you again ☺️
And glad, too! Thx for being a fan ⭐️
What really struck me was that this song was no 1 over Christmas 😅 the most nuts time of year and when i was going through one of my may 'dark nights of the soul'.
Having one again now. Eclipse season is kicking my butt, hard.
What's that they say? The night is always darkest before the dawn? Hang in 🌎
I'll never understand how people are so heartfelt and creative, and I'll never get tired of it.
Appreciate you being here ⭐️
Best❤️
Only a person named Gary like myself could pull off such a melancholy melody.
haha too true
Only someone with depression could produce such a song. Yet, it captures our contemporary society so accurately. Maybe we need to start listening to more voices within our society.
amazing that the song was written, what, 40 years ago…? And it seems to keep gaining in relevance. TFF wrote quite a universal piece of music. ⭐️
I can never forget the times I listened to this so much when I was suffering from depression.
Hope it helped a bit. Good job getting through... so many of us have been / are there.
I just listened to this song yesterday and I wished it had the better quality version and now I saw this. Thanks
glad you found it!
Every time I hear this song it reminds of Dom sacrificing himself in Gears of War 3
RIP!!!!! ⚙️⚙️⚙️
I heard this song when I watched Donnie Darko when I was in middle school and I immediately went out and bought Trading Snakeoil for Wolftickets the next day. It's still one of my favorite albums of all time!
you are such a star! ⭐️ thank u
