Nearly two decades later, the song made a popular resurgence when it was covered in a much slower, ballad-like style by composers Michael Andrews and Gary Jules for the soundtrack to the movie Donnie Darko. This version reached #1 in the UK in December 2003, and became an international hit." from wiki link above
Lyrics:
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going no where Going no where Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression No expression Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow No tomorrow
No tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of 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 its a very very
Mad world Mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday Happy birthday
And I 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
ook right through me Look right through me And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of 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 its a very very
Mad world Mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world
A somewhat similar song is from Zero 7:
In the Waiting line
lyrics:
Wait in line 'Till your time Ticking clock Everyone stop Everyone's saying different things to me Different things to me Everyone's saying different things to me Different things to me
Woooohh Do you believe In what you see There doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me
Do you believe
In what you see
Motionless wheel Nothing is real Wasting my time In the waiting line Do you believe in What you seeNine to five
Living lies
Everyday Stealing time Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can
Woooohh Do you believe In what you feel It doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me
Do you believe In what you see Motionless wheel Nothing is real Wasting my time In the waiting line
Do you believe In what you see Ah and I'll shout and I'll scream
But I'd rather not be seen
And I'll hide away for another day
Do you believe In what you see Motionless wheel Nothing is real Wasting my time In the waiting line
Do you believe In what you see
Everyone's saying different things to me Different things to me Different things to me Different things to me
Different things to me Everyone's taking everything they can Everything they can

ReplyDeleteIf red jjohn kills one of Patrick's coworkers the show could take an interesting turn toward more drama, less light hearted. I heard there would be a change after this show.
ReplyDeleteCj
I heard the show was taking a turn, would be different after this season. (If a co-worker is killed, seems the show would move darker.) although i love the lightness and humor, allowing the characters to get more serious might be interesting. but as it is, the show is one of a kind.
ReplyDeleteMoving version but I like Adam Lambert's cover best.
ReplyDeletei stumbled on his version; its pretty good but i think whichever you hear first, maybe you like best.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why we didn't hear the song they advetised with, in the actual finale. Bummer
ReplyDeleteSeason 4 fianle song: wicked game- capped off three amazing albums form chris issak for me. about heart-shaped world, the album that has wicked games on it, WIKI say:
ReplyDelete"Wicked Game" is a 1989 song by Chris Isaak from his third studio album Heart Shaped World. Despite being released as a single in 1989, it did not become a hit until it was later featured in the David Lynch film Wild at Heart (1990). Lee Chesnut, an Atlanta radio station music director who loved David Lynch films, began playing the song and it quickly became a nationwide top ten hit in January 1991, reaching #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it the only hit song of his career in the U.S. James Calvin Wilsey played the distinctive lead guitar solo on the song....
