Mad World

So there's this song called Mad World.
I like it, it kind of takes me back to my angsty, super-cynical teenage days, but in a good way.
It shows up on multiple Pandora stations that I listen to fairly regularly. Today my Zoe Keating station played me a different cover of it by Alex Parks (youtube-link), so I googled it to see who the original

oh doubtless, that's just the wikipedia list.

As copy-pasted above, Zonaria is "blackened death metal"... which really intrigues me FAR more than 'black/death metal'...
Spicy Cajun death metal... Hm.

True, I shortened for brevity and the fact that I was editing in a hurry. I too was fascinated by the concept of "blackened death metal..."

i also like "sweedish". "sweeeeeeeeeeeeeedish."

(blackened/deather?)

Donnie Darko

The song is creepy as hell and really is _the_ tonal song for the movie. I can't listen to any other cover now without making the mental comparison.

That said, a lot of TFF was really downer music to begin with.

This song will forever be in my head as the Donnie Darko theme, even though I'd heard it long before then.

*love*

It's a wonderful song. While I certainly knew the Tears for Fears version, I think my favorite remains the Andrews/Jules version. Clearly it struck a chord that so many people felt drawn to it and spoken to by it!

I would LOVE to hear Renée Flemming's version...she is amazing.
