For instance, he insinuates that the only time children are shown proper love and appreciation, which they should be receiving regularly, is actually during events like their birthdays.Р’В He also reminisces on his own (presumably early) school days.Р’В And the way the narrative plays out is as if he was in need of attention and all (being a РІР‚СљnervousРІР‚Сњ child)Р’В which he totally did not receive. Secondly, he refers to childhood itself as being detrimental to an individualРІР‚в„ўs self-esteem. And likewise the idea that he will share a similar destiny has him depressed. Your fingers are on the cliff and youРІР‚в„ўre about to drop off, but somehow you cling on.First is being turned off by the prospect of participating in the rat race.Р’В That is he sees people headed to work every morning who appear РІР‚вЂњ for lack of a better word РІР‚вЂњ lifeless. He later concluded: РІР‚СљMad World hasnРІР‚в„ўt dated because itРІР‚в„ўs expressive of a period I call the teenage menopause, where your hormones are going crazy as youРІР‚в„ўre leaving childhood. I thought, РІР‚ВThank God for the 19-year-old Roland Orzabal. Unlike some other stories of popular covers, Roland Orzabal loves it, citing the coverРІР‚в„ўs leap to #1 as the proudest moment of his career: РІР‚СљI was in my 40s and had forgotten how I felt when I wrote all those Tears for Fears songs. Quite fitting that a song about madness become popular at Christmas. I was down with that РІР‚вЂњ IРІР‚в„ўve played guitar my whole life.РІР‚СњР”Вespite Christmas Time (DonРІР‚в„ўt Let the Bells End)Р’В by The Darkness set to become the 2003 Christmas number one in the UK, Mad World upturned the odds and took the title on 21 December, 2003, reamining at #1 for three consecutive weeks. But no guitar because Richard said no guitar or drums he just wasnРІР‚в„ўt into it.

Andrews was a member in a range of bands including acid jazz outfit The Greyboy Allstars and the Origin with Gary Jules РІР‚вЂњ whose two solo albums he produced.Р”Р„s Andrews states: РІР‚СљThe film was pretty low budget so my portion of the money was pretty thin.РІР‚Сњ It wasnРІР‚в„ўt until almost 20 years later that Mad WorldР’В achieved the illuminating success it deserved when Michael Andrews and Gary Jules covered it for the 2001 cult film Donnie Darko.Р’В The sombre piano ballad closes out the films final three minutes with an incredibly powerful scene depicting angst, alienation and anguish.Р”Вirector Richard Kelly employed San Diego musician and film composer Michael Andrews to score the film. The band then opted to re-record Mad World in 1983 with producers Ross Cullum and Chris Hughes, a former drummer with Adam and the Ants.Р”В¬urt SmithРІР‚в„ўs ad lib in the songРІР‚в„ўs final chorus resulted in one of the most famous mondegreenРІР‚в„ўs of all time.Р”В¬urt Smith later concluded, РІР‚СљItРІР‚в„ўs a dark song but it brings back happy memoriesРІР‚Сњ. Orzabal said in 2013, РІР‚СљThe song was intended as a B-side but Polygram (record label) said it was too good, so it became our third single.РІР‚Сњ

However, after a few false starts with Orzabal on vocals, he suggested Smith sing it and РІР‚Сљsuddenly it sounded fabulousРІР‚Сњ.
