I listen to the magnificent melody. I swallow the lyrics, as they ease in2 my heart, my heart bleeds. I encompass the entire song and my soul understands the beauty, the pain & how we will relive the meaning as the song remains. REM love them
Me too...this is for my Nay Nay...my great Dane.... beautiful girl ..when I hear this, I remember all them tears...the tears I'm crying now... I remember sitting there...sliding down my counter top..my body weak....my body naked with dirty knees cause I slept over her grave all night . Weak with sadness...so weak..it helps me too
@@ceast3739Oh, 😢 I know your sorrow. My dog was as beloved to me as my human son. I'm not the same in the world without her. I'm praying for you and your Nay Nay, for your connection through the window of the heavens 💓
I always thought this song was really depressing but then i listened to it with another 4 mates, we were really stonned and were singing it out loud and at the end i was REALLY happy and in a great mood because we all felt the same way and i knew i wasnt alone when i felt like this...
I love finding comments like this on UA-cam. The human experience behind all the videos, comments and profiles. I think it also speaks to how important friends are. The world can be very depressing but if we experience it together and for the sake of other people we can see it's true beauty.
Being stoned may have helped with the positive outlook on this very excellent but hyper depressing song, which I have played three times on a Monday after work.
Remember, it's not about did, or did not the "Message" about a "MAD" World,... Think about this, the "Acronym" for the "Two" Countries who refuse to get along, are the "ONE'S" that have weapons of mass destruction... oh yes,... the Acronym for this, is "MAD"... MUTUAL ASSURED DISTRUCTION !
I just reported this to UA-cam because, it is NOT REM! This is an original Tears For Fears song from 1982. This version is by Gary Jules. Get your shit together UA-cam!
AYE LOVE HOW PEOPLE CLAIM TO CARE ABOUT ME AND WANT THE BEST FÖR ME ~ BUT DO NOTHING TO INCREASE MY WELL BEING OR CURRENT STATE ~ THAT MY FRIENDS IZ WHAT WE CALL A LIAR ~ RIGHT SIS 💯
All renditions of this song are beautiful no matter who does it and what makes them so beautiful are the lyrics, the melody, the honesty in this song. It is very melacholic but that just lends to the deepness and pain the singer is portraying. Tears for Fears wrote this song and did it first. Everyone else just puts their mark and style on it, they are all ear candy. Love this song and yes, it is..."A very, very mad World."
REM, Gary Jules, my grandma...who cares? The message of this song is so strong, that it shouldn't even matter who wrote it and who sang it. The song is just...amazing...
Originally: Tears for Fears brilliant group of lads from the UK. This is a very nice different cover version by Gary Jules he makes the song his own. Love it!!
@@michaelchase418 Lol, I don't know what you're laughing at. Stipe NEVER did a version of this song. Similar vocal-ish maybe to Jules, but this is Jules. Do some searching and come back to me a link to Stipe singing it please. ;)
Great song , and story behind, it have a strong message , thanks for video my friend :-))) Greetings for REM band and to you my friend for video :-))) ~ Lara ~
video molto bello, la natura è la cosa più bella che ci possa circondare, regalandoci agni giorno paesaggi o panorami mozzafiato che nessun uomo potra mai copire bellissimo video e bravo a chi l'ha realizzato...
thanks for making this- whoever is singing, it does sound like Michael Stipe- so they are channeling him somehow... I like this version of the song best- even better than the Tears for Fears version. good one.
This IS the Gary Jules version and has never been recorded by REM (though I do recall them playing it live once though). It suits then vocally very well. The original by Tears for fears was much slower, yes, but just as good.......
Just my humble opinion - but I wish REM had covered it. Seems to me Stipe in his heyday would have poured emotion into it. Still - Jules version is so beautiful - and I do hear similarities in the harmonics of their voices.
Immer wenn ich dieses Lied höre, kommt mir die Werbung von Gears of War in den Sinn... Marcus Fenix am Laufen, zur Seite in eine Öffnung springen und vor ihm die riesige Made.... Ich liebe dieses Lied,... und GoW.
Adam Lamberts first performance of this, not the finale version was the best I ever heard, saved it on my phone, he's wearing the white suit and gets a standing ovation from simon, first part of video is about his youth, then he performs,
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
This is a original Tears for Fears song from 1983. But I love the R.E.M version because of the somber pace it takes your emotions through. Though a sadder version, certain more to the point of the lyrics to this song.
REM never played this song! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_World "Mad World" is a 1982 song by the British band Tears for Fears.

Tobias Sandow Thanks...I didn't know that. I wonder why they keep posting that R.E.M recorded it? Either way...I like this version better than the Tears for fears 80's version. Both are very good...I just thought this had far more depth and emotion.

Nice song..and the pics are beautiful. But I totally want to hear REM for-real cover this song now....and do it like old-skool REM with mandolin and Mike Mills belting out random lyrics in the background.
Shame the video video doesnt show the overcrowded , pouted, stand - still traffic of humanity...just the pure natural beauty of this 3rd rock from the Sun...we are the Madness
actulay its some old DISCO somg from the 70's that gary jules turned into a sad song, so its actualy a cover played differently by gary jules. cool how a songs feeling can change so much just by the way its played
I just learnt that tears for fears are the original creator's of this song and I listened to it. Was funky, then came here tfor a cry because this song hits harder.
I remember hearing this back in the mid 90s, first time ever hearing music and had to cry because of sheer emotion, very beautiful song 😁!!
this song came out in the 2000s
It’s amazing how slowing down the song brought out the masterpiece meloncolic lyrics this song had.
This is really stunning too, it’s a deep song

I still amazes me that some songs have no impact on me until I have lived longer through this mad world.
Well if this isn't the most heart felt comment idk what is 😑
I cry every time I hear this. It's kind of fitting for the times we're in right now.
I listen to the magnificent melody. I swallow the lyrics, as they ease in2 my heart, my heart bleeds. I encompass the entire song and my soul understands the beauty, the pain & how we will relive the meaning as the song remains. REM love them
The original is from the tears for fears, in the 80´s
Tears for Fears wrote and recorded the original "Mad World". R.E.M did a great cover, but this is the Gary Jules version.
@@themusicweaver Seriously? I hadn't noticed. 😁
@@pauloazevedo2740 My comment was to @useein2me149 thanks.
I play this song when iam remembering friends, family and love ones who are no longer with us it helps me in a way when I can't stop the tears.
Sweet♥️

Anche questa canzone e' entrata nella leggenda!! Ascoltandola e' emozione allo stato puro...e questa versione per me e' la migliore!!❤❤❤
Even though its not REM i love the pictures, they are perfect for this song. This song always makes me calm and a bit sad, best song i've ever heard
I always thought this song was really depressing
but then i listened to it with another 4 mates, we were really stonned and were singing it out loud
and at the end i was REALLY happy
and in a great mood
because we all felt the same way
and i knew i wasnt alone when i felt like this...

REM did not sing this song. This is Gary Jules. His voice has similar qualities like Michael Stipe, but REM never sang this

This version was used in the movie "Donnie Darko", if I remember correctly.
correct you are Mr. Psycho 🎀🎀
REM is the best...one of my fave groups ever...Michael Stipes jjust rocks it, loves his voice...LOVE ALL THEIR MUSIC.
Not only is he basically channeling Stipe, but the melodic structure and lyrical style is VERY stipean.
REM, Gary Jules, my grandma...who cares? The message of this song is so strong, that it shouldn't even matter who wrote it and who sang it.
The song is just...amazing...
Listen to this song over and over again. Absorb it digest it take it all in
Originally: Tears for Fears brilliant group of lads from the UK. This is a very nice different cover version by Gary Jules he makes the song his own. Love it!!
Donnie Darko brought me here in 2022. Can't believe it's not actually Michael Stipe singing.
My favorite version of this song.
This is one of my favorite REM songs. I also love Superman and Doctor Doctor! I love Robert Smith and REM they are awesome. Thanks for posting :)
Sorry to burst your bubble mate, but this is not Stipe, It's Gary Jules. ;)
I'd love to hear an REM version though IF there even is one. Cheers. :)
Don't feel to bad. When I first heard this beautiful song I seriously believed it was REM as well. Lol

All the beautiful comments, music truly does connect us all. God bless each and everyone of you we are all in this together truly.
This version has definitely brought me to tears at leat once! ♥️
THIS IS LIKE THE MANDELA EFFECT I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS BY REM WTFFFFFFF
I swear there was another version by REM - but I guess not???
This song was always by Tears For Fears. It’s just that REM made this song more popular and famous when they decided to slow it down in there cover.
@@archangel5627No this was sung by Gary Jules not Michael Stipe
Absolutely beautiful photos & great rendition ~ thank you :-)
Das Original ist schon geil, aber REM toppen das noch mal. Hut ab! Große Klasse!!!
Did anyone else notice that Gary Jules doesn't sound like Michael Stipe at all?
playingmusiconmars NO.
Hhhh I was looking for histipe's version I found myself here hhh
They sound somewhat similar
Great song , and story behind, it have a strong message , thanks for video my friend :-)))

It does sound like Michael Stipe.
It may do but it is in fact Gary Jules
This is Gary Jules not REM!
you are an idiot.
Henry Dereschewitz why, they are correct?!
Always though it was REM
It is indeed Gary Jules got to number one for Christmas.

has been too underestimated
Gary Jules/ REM watever.... its a beautiful song

Thank you. I saw Mad World REM & thought it would be cool to hear an REM cover of the song, but I immediately thought it wasn’t Michael Stipe’s voice.
Cannot be beaten, many excellent versions
Certainly a chaotic mad crazy world
this touches my soul... deeply... michael stipe singing...
I’ve never had a song for my emotions so much
You can see it like panning round on the aftermath with this song.. would be awesome, it's perfect
Just my humble opinion - but I wish REM had covered it. Seems to me Stipe in his heyday would have poured emotion into it. Still - Jules version is so beautiful - and I do hear similarities in the harmonics of their voices.
R.I.P Dom.. never to be forgotten..
This is Not R. E. M.. This ist Gary Jules
I thought it was REM when I first heard it too... so, I can't hate you for the mistake. Beautiful song.

This song time travels
omg i've been looking for this song for an hour and I though that it was by R.E.M. It's a terrific song
All respect for The Who Pete townshend , This is a good copie😊
This is an ARRANGEMENT of Gary Jules' song MAD WORLD. It was redone by MICHAEL ANDREWS. If you type in both names in Amazon, you can find this song.
Yes it is and it is mostly fascinating and stunning...
R.i.p. to every forgotten soul laying unknown to the world in an unmarked hole. Love you hobe😢
I SAW IT ON THE HEART IS A LONELY HUNTER. AND YEA IT MAKES ME CRY.
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

It’s actually Gary Jules not REM
Ascoltando questa canzone ricordo il finale di Donnie Darko..e ogni volta mi frega sempre...stupendo:)
@DimebagDillion life is sad without it....this song describes my life perfectly at this moment
the world isnt mad, we are... at last in one diferent time it will certanly change!"
REM sang that song the best.
The dreams in wich I'm dying are the best i've ever had
@KanaiNimrRa it's michael andrews on piano (he also composed and performed the rest of the score for donnie darko) and gary jules providing the vocals
oh man, i got excited when I saw REM on this... geeze oh well
dont feel bad three other people think this is rem...thanks for posting
.....one of the songs that would bring on an uncharted island....
i got a lil excited when i thought REM covered this song
No really ! U got me ! U really got me ! U rascal Genious joker ! Love ya doll ! Xxxx
Nice song..and the pics are beautiful. But I totally want to hear REM for-real cover this song now....and do it like old-skool REM with mandolin and Mike Mills belting out random lyrics in the background.
AND YOU DO NOT INCENTIVIZE ME TO WANT TO COME ANY CLOSER TO YOU IN ANY SENSE… SEEMS LIKE YOU NEED TO GROW UP

A song for the saddest moments of the life.
I agree it should be credited Donnie Darko for this version.
This particular song is Micheal Stipe and REM. They did a cover of "Mad World". The original was Gary Jules and Tears for Fears.
RIP Dominic Santiago, we will miss you.
How funny it is to find the comments so into the spirit of the song. People running in circles. =)
i know its not rem but this song is still means so much to me. this is my theme tune it was uploaded on my birthday what a coincidince.
yeah, it's the Joules version. Michael Stipe is really really distinct. *love*
ahhh the piano love this song
it's still beautiful
Renewed respect for Tears for Fears , or whatever they were called .

I just learnt that tears for fears are the original creator's of this song and I listened to it. Was funky, then came here tfor a cry because this song hits harder.
This only served to further reinforce to me that it's an REM song, took the comments to finally put me right after all these years!
its not an REM song or a Gary Jules song its a Tears for Fears song from 1983
Every time I hear this... I cant help to think about... Dom... It was so sad...
