Video: Happy Sounds

Mad World

I have had this song stuck in my head for over a week. It is a remake by Gary Jules (originally a Tears for Fears song) and is used in the movie Donnie Darko. There are several music videos for it on YouTube, I just like this one best (a few make me cry though.) I am constantly humming it to myself or singing it to Damian. Some people might think that since I can strongly relate to the words that I am depressed but I find them oddly uplifting.

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

Just felt like sharing.

Happy New Years

Happy New Years to all you amazing citizens of Earth, yes I mean you! My resolution, as always, can be founds in the words of Mark Twain:

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

May you receive when you have a need.
May you find laughter when sadness calls.
May you feel inspired by every moment.
And may your future always carry the torch of hope.
Happy New Years and Blessed Be!
