299/365 Songs: Mad World – Tears for Fears/Gary Jules
This song started life in 1982 when it was released as the third single by Tears for Fears. A reworked version in 2001 by Gary Jules and Michael Andrews gave a different style to the song and it was used in the soundtrack for the movie Donnie Darko. In the first of the studio finals of this year’s X-Factor it was performed by contestant Aiden Grimshaw.
