"Mad World" is a 1982 song by British band Tears for Fears. Written by Roland Orzabal and sung by bassist Curt Smith, it rose to number three on the UK Singles Chart in November 1982.

Over the years, it has been covered by various artists, including a 2001 version recorded by Michael Andrews and Gary Jules for the soundtrack of the film Donnie Darko which this lesson takes its version from.

The song was influenced by the theories of Arthur Janov, author of "The Primal Scream"

Jules said that he believed the song was easy for people to relate to: "I think it's a really beautiful example of a person struggling with the fact that life is mad. I honestly think it's one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard and the way it's stripped down now just pins people." He went on to say, "Every so often a song with just vocals, piano, and cello creeps up on you and says something about who you are, where you're going which stops you in your tracks."

Your teacher Lisa Witt is here to walk you through the song step-by-step, so let's dive right into the madness ????
