its a very very mad world...

sandesh, dawar and i accidentally came across the screening of the campus movie festival as we were walking back from a material science review session (on a friday evening, of all time) which happened to be a good 2 or so hours spent. the movies screened were the top 3 of 5 different categories, and i really liked a number of them, very creative. i wish i could do something like that. only if i had the time. but one song that kept being played (cant blame the directors, since they had never seen the other films til that day) was this particular song 'mad world' by michael andrews, that i am very addicted to right now. it is quite a sad piece of song, but theres some personal attachment to it for some reason. the reason why it was used so frequently was because the teams participating were given a bunch of music that can be used without having to worry about copyright issues and it seemed like that song was appropriate for many of the themes of the movies that were made.

but anyway, here's the lyrics.

'Mad World' by Michael Andrews featuring Gary Jules

"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

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

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 ... world
Enlarge your world
Mad world"
