[phyzik]

Tears for Fears origional (video is out of sync for first half of the video, but those that remember this shit should know it) I remember this shit on MTV (when it was the REAL MTV)

Michael Andrews (Piano) Gary Jules (voice) (the version from "Gears of War" commercial)

I have to say its extremely hard to choose for me, I loved the Tears for Fears version but Michael Andrews made it such a haunting badass song, its hard to choose.

Ya, it was on Donnie Darko, but it was out before the move. I just mentioned Gears of War because that commercial was played alot during the playoffs. (Maybe it was right before the playoffs, all I know is it was played alot).

Gears of War one hands down for me.

the song was recorded for the movie.


Gary Jules hands down.

This has to be one of the best covers of all-time.

There was a punk cover of it I forgot who it was by but I liked it because I do enjoy screaming when it comes to a song called Mad World.

Edit: Found it, The one by evergreen terrace here. Screaaaam!

Defiantly Gary Jules, its funny a lot of my friends didn't give recognition to his version or for that matter the song until they saw the GoW commercial such a perfect song for the game depressing and sad and lets not forget about Michael Andrews who gives a haunting almost hopeful tune :violin
