    "Mad World" is such a classic! We had so much fun arranging this and we tried to give it a bit of a French flair - we even filmed it in Paris! Sorry it's taken sooo long for us to release a new video. We've been keeping busy with some new projects and have been traveling a bunch. We just got back from our first two concerts too! Thanks to everyone who came out to see us - it was so much fun meeting so many of you. Lots more videos coming soon, we promise! Thanks for watching :)
    (And a big thank you to Ali Hauschildt and Jay Jameson for all the help with filming and childcare! xo)

    Lyrics:
    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

    Brooklyn Duo Bio:
    Founded in 2014, Brooklyn Duo has quickly established itself as one of today’s most successful classical crossover ensembles. Through its creative arrangements and live video performances, the piano and cello duo has garnered a huge following, with over 600,000 UA-cam subscribers, and over 150 million streams annually on platforms such as Spotify and Pandora Radio.
    On a whim, the couple arranged and recorded two pop covers and released them on UA-cam. Shakira noticed the duo’s cover of her song Empire and promoted it to her 130 million-plus fan base, saying: “We're loving Brooklyn Duo's piano/cello cover of Empire! Great work guys." The boost that resulted from that exposure and the positive response they were getting on UA-cam encouraged the couple to continue creating videos.
    Since then, Marnie and Patrick have released over 70 videos on their Brooklyn Duo UA-cam channel and 7 albums of covers, spanning artists from The Beatles to Metallica to Taylor Swift (who also tweeted about them, saying their cover of her song “Blank Space” sounded "like a song people should walk down the aisle to"). In 2016, the couple started a second UA-cam channel, Brooklyn Classical, with the goal of introducing classical music to a larger audience. With this new channel, Marnie and Patrick aim to showcase high quality, live performances of classical music. Brooklyn Classical often hosts high-profile guest artists, including the world-renowned Dover and Escher string quartets and percussionist Ivan Trevino.
    In 2017, Marnie and Patrick partnered with Carnegie Hall and Ensemble Connect, a collective of some of the best young musicians in the U.S., to produce a cover of a-ha’s “Take On Me”. The video went viral and garnered millions of views in just a few months. Popular classical music stations Classic FM and WQXR regularly share Brooklyn Duo’s music on their social media pages, with Classic FM calling the duo “masters of the artfully planned pop cover.” One of their covers was also recently featured in an episode of ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy.

    Everything about this video was perfect, the decor, the open window, lighting, coordinated color scheme, their clothing, and that's aside from the beautiful haunting piece. It was very nice to be able to see Marnie's beautiful face and balletic hands. She literally caresses the piano keys. This is truly my very favorite Brooklyn Duo video. It is a rich, nuanced and soul-nourishing, full experience in every way.

      I notticed it too and it startled me at first, as I was actualy listening to the Amelie piece before I listedn to this one, so I thought it was still playing in the background in another Chrome tab! Anyway, good idea using the Amelie left-hand tune as an arrangement, the pieces do mix well together.

    If you see this comment, please consider doing a cover of Yann Tiersen's version of "Rue des Cascades". I honestly think it would sound brilliant with a piano-cello duo! Thank you for sharing this with us.

    "I find it hard to tell you. I find it hard to take. When people run in circles it's a mad world." is probably one of the best verses in a song ever because almost everyone in the world is just going about their lives in a circular pattern. Get money, spend money on ourselves, get more money, and now we are all nihilist and narcissistic maniacs who are libertarians to our friends and authoritarians to our enemies. God bless those who have any altruism in our little mad world.

    AGH I just love you guys. Piano and cello are my hands down favorite instruments, and this is one of my favorite songs!
