mad world
So yesterday i was watching a commercial for a game on the xbox 360, gears of war. The action on screen is muted and the protagonist picks up a broken sculpture head in a war torn city and looks at it, and then the road explodes behind him bearing down on him and he runs into a building for cover, he catches his breath and this giant spider is there and he starts filling it with lead and the screen goes black. The song in the background is Mad World as covered by Gary Jules (originally a tears for fears song). This song is really evocative (so much so im writing about it and finally a commercial that does something more than visually stimulate) but its also familiar, and i realized where i heard it before, on buffy the vampire slayer, it was the requiem song for Tara. Tis a good song, give it a listen, i actually nabbed the single since i liked it so much.
