Lyrics

MAD WORLD - Did this version of the song "Mad World" along with an original "Splendor in the Grass." Song is on the "Last I Saw My Childhood Friends" full online LP. I talked my wife Robin into singing the first intro part of Mad World and last part of the song. I did the vocals in the middle. Love Robin's voice. Love the song Mad World by the 80's New Wave band Tears For Fears. The song is maybe one of the top three songs in my opinion written in the late 20th century along with Bittersweet Symphony and Turn Turn Turn. Gary Jules does a beautiful version in the movie Donnie Darko which is a beautifully written Independent Sci-Fi film. If you haven't seen the film go see it. It's a strange wonderful movie. Played Splendor in the Grass on acoustic guitar live in a lo fi setting in front of my computer using it's mic and video camera. Got my computer to recite the poetry for Splendor in the Grass my all time favorite poem. Thanks Hal. Splendor is recorded raw in lo fi. Love one take with mistakes raw sound. Shows we're still human. Recording in lo fi is like eating raw vegetables. You either hate it or love it. LOL. Please give a listen and watch. The Video is produced in a "CINEMATIC" psychedelic folk phantasm style. FREE Song download.
