The dreams in which Im dying are the best I've ever had

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
I tried, I really did try and resist putting this in anything goes, and im sorry, but this song is just way to beatiful to ignore; i love it. and the film is fantastic as well; if you havent seen it (donnie darko) go and see it.

the lyrics are gorgeous, and its so different from a lot of the music around in the charts at the moment - so make sure we make it number one for christmas people! i know some people arent going to like it; but I think its beautiful, and a hell of a lot of people are raving about it, so if you havent heard it, try and download it or listen to your radios :p

its a cover of tears for fears' 'mad world' and is by Michael Andrews and Gary Jules.

    I think this is one of the few covers to surpass the original, certainly in recent times at least.

    I was very surprised to here it on Radio 1 a couple of weeks ago but I gather it's being released as a single over christmas.

    Yeh, i think it comes out in the next couple of weeks, its taken its time; the films been out for about 18months hasnt it?! so its not a new song or anything. But its so beautiful, im extremely impressed :)

    I prefer the tears for fears version personally. Do we really want a song with the lyrics "the dreams in which i'm dying are the best i've ever had" at no.1 for xmas? :eek2: It's hardly merry.


    :DFinch's Acoustic Cover clicky click

    Well I'd much rather have that than some Pop Idol disposable pap that'll be entirely forgotten by the following christmas.

    The lyrics for you to read if you cant get a download of it:

    Mad World

    All around me are familiar faces
    Worn out places, worn out faces
    Bright and early for their daily races
    Going nowhere, going nowhere
    And their tears are filling up their glasses
    No expression, no expression
    Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
    No tommorow, no tommorow
    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
    'Cos I find it hard to take
    When people run in circles
    It's a very, very
    Mad World
    Children waiting for the day they feel good
    Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
    Made to 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
    Look right through me, look right through me

    * SPOILER IF U AINT SEEN MOVIE*







    did u guys get the end of donnie darko? ive heard a lot of theorys bout it,
    i think that ghosts can travel freely through time, and that frank came back in time in order to lead donnie and show him all that so that he would kill himself, so noone would get on that plane and therefor noone would die,
    think im stupid or do u agree?

    ps. the song is one of the best ive ever heard, tears for fears version wa sthe best

    Seriously everyone, it's a fantastic song. Forget all your manufactured shite that always gets to the top of the charts and get this piece of class up there! :D

    A wee bit obsessed there, aintcha? :yeees:

    Sure, they're a good song/film, but not good enough to have 10 threads about them. By the same person. Mostly in the same forum.

    :rolleyes:
