I love this one and had a great time making the video. While living in downtown Denver, I walked into a hip salon and told the Goth-chick, working there what I had in mind. She broke into a huge smile and said, "I've been waiting my whole career for you to walk in here. Let's do this!". A great fingerstyle cover of a great cover by Tears for Fears, written by Roland Orzabal and sung by Curt Smith. It was covered by Michael Andrews and Gary Jules for the soundtrack to the movie Donnie Darko in 2001. Get the TAB or notation here:

This is the type of playing in I enjoy the most. It's not reliant on the dreaded percussion-guitar, the notes are clear and ringing, and you can hear up to three notes all playing in harmony, weaving them all at once.
My first thought was, oh - ok I might skip the liner. But his portrayal is so majestic he might as well have worn a space suit and it wouldn't've mattered. This is probably the most gifted rendition of this song, and the only one fingered this way. The harmonics in the beginning and end are absolute genius. Bravo Chap. Truly.
Why didn't you use the Jules fingerings? Fuera!
Meraviglioso , dalle corde della chitarra sale una nuvola di sentimento struggente che ci avvolge tutti
A "thumbs up" icon is simply not enough for me to express how much I love your interpretation of this song.
This is the reason I play guitar. There are masters like this, I strive to achieve this level. Thank you.
Side note; You should be a legendary "Elden Ring: game NPC. Perfect interpretation, and portrayal. Love it!
You look good as Lurch. Great costume. You are a great virtuoso. Thanks for sharing your work with us.
Haha. The emo butler look is such a nice touch.
the new lucifer when he takes the body of a rock star in the show supernatural.
God DAMN what a beautiful, beautiful cover! Blown away. Thank you so much for posting it. I've never heard a better.
This music had always inspired and enchanted me.
Thank You Michael for lifting me up and allowing me to dream.
Slightly late Happy Halloween video! I worked 17 hours a day to get it out on "the Day"....just missed.
Mad World
In case you were born before 1980, this tune is associated with a dark film, "Donnie Darko" which has kind of a cult following which is heavy with "Emo" culture. Hence the make-up and black nail polish and the general darkness of this video.
it went live just before midnight Halloween (Aleutian time).

congratz it worth it, it's amazing
This is by far some of the best. You put so much emotion into it.
amazing amazing amazing amazing amazing....
I haven't watched any of your videos for a while, so I was quite gratified and amused by this, and you other newer videos. I like the humorous touch, and as always you playing is meticulous and heart felt. I've been playing for more than 50 years, and I'm still trying to achieve a small degree of the facility that you possess. Thanks very much for making such beautiful music.
Alice Chapdelaine. Vary Cool. Loved it!
The harmonics are awesome....great rendition of this song...I don't think anyone could do better!
You shine where you stand Big man. That was jist braw.
You almost forget that he actually has a voice with how well he communicates with his guitar
I play around listening to guitar players on you tube looking for inspiration, just when I think I've seen the best, along comes someone better. I can't believe I've never seen you before.
Non ho parole. Lui si che è un vero chitarrista!!!

I think that makes me pretty happy with it. The video isn't serious, but the music really is. So, yea, I got made up and dressed for Halloween, but as always, the music swept me away and BAM....there you have it.
I am blown away by the contrast of your playing and makeup. Well done.
Micheal you are amazing man! I like all your arrengenment
Moody, dark, and good-natured.
Just watched this three times in a row. ......its terribly sad and awfully beautiful.
Beautiful
Brawo Michael you're awesome, I start learning guitars few years ago by watching you playing Mad World, still enjoy whenever you play, and never got bored, thanks so much for being on CZcams. Regards 🥰🙏

Wow! Beautiful music!! Thank you Mr Chapdelaine! You have touched my heart!

Love the look and the music too of course. It's a nice change to see people be themselves especially in a world where everyone is a critic on the way other people look.

Great song already even better the way its fingerpicked.
That was quite possibly the most emotional cover of this song I have ever heard. Bravo.
I love this song even more now ! Hauntingly Beautiful !
Respect Respect...Oh Don!
Great treatment with a sense of humor!! Thanks for keeping it fun and musical.
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 to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listín
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher…
Woooow. Magnificient.
I love that you took a favorite TfF song and brought out the music in polyphony. I love even more that you have a sense of humor about it. So rare in the guitar performance world. Inspiring
