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"
Quite the awesome rendition here, brother... Nice! Oh, and that last note... it was all good by me, man! Ha-ha! Loved it - in all of its dynamic splendor!
Hey bro cheers for that, I was almost not going to upload it cos of that bloody note but I thought "just keep going do not flip out over that one bloody note!"
Sounds beautiful, bro. Keep up the good work! :)
Wow! Dude.....That was fuckin amazing...I don't even know what else to say. I loved it. Upvoted, resteemed. Great job bro.
Much love,

Cheers bro for this, your support is much appreciated. This is one of my favourite songs and I was a bit worries I didn't sing to how good I think I can sing it and messed up a few notes but hey I think people appreciate that. Much love bro x
This is actually one of my favorite songs as well. It's a masterpiece through and through.
I think its normal for musicians to be overly critical of ourselves. I don't think I have ever recorded a song and thought "It's perfect", no I always feel like I can do a better job, and I believe that is a key ingredient for growth and improvement in ones abilities.
Don't even worry about the mistake! It didn't take away from the integrity or quality of your performance in any way.
By the way.. If you want a good laugh, watch my recent submission, and the very last chord of the song, I play a minor, when it's supposed to be a major. I'm not sure if you can tell by the expression on my face or not when it's over, but I was just thinking "well isn't that just my luck" lol
much love
So rad, bro!
I wasn't expecting that! Very cool! Loved it!
Yeah - Mad World is by Tears For Fears.
Hey dude, glad you enjoyed the performance. One of my favourite songs of all time the lyrics to me are simply mind blowing. Thank you brother. Much love
That was awesome! Totally took me by surprise. I love that you left that fuck up in at the end too - it helps me to see people do that so that when I fuck up I can shrug it off because it never really matters as much as it does in my own head. Your performance was so honest an raw and filled with emotion. And those beats - soo cool.
Hey man, cheers for this dude, I'm quite the perfectionist I must admit so while most people won't notice if I make one mistakes it absolutely drives me flippen mental and have done retakes of tracks and pefromances so many times in my life through being angry at myself for messing up. But I've realised that hey if think we're aloud to make a couple here and there in our lives as long as the majority of the picture sells the image (if you catch my drift). Glad your feeling my vibes bro much appreciated dude
Another nice one man. You are doing good
Hey dude cheers for the support dude, have a great day mate and be in touch bro !
I LOVED it. I've always wanted to cover this song! :) I find it hauntingly beautiful, and your version it's like YAAAS POWER haha. Btw, the original is not by Gary Jules (though I love his version) but from Tears from Fears.
Cheers for this glad your feeling my vibes and thank you for letting me know that the original is in fact from years from fears (I honestly thought it was Gary jules!) Do you play at all???
Yeah, I think Gary Jules' version was way more popular, besides it was part of a cult film soundtrack, from Donnie Darko, if I am not mistaken. I play guitar a bit, but I mostly sing :)
¡Awesome! I really enjoyed it
excellent .great, @moderndayjester
