Mad World

In english class we had a work to do about music: do a movie related to a song, with images and lyrics, and last week one group showed one music of Gary Jules which I liked a lot. If you don't know, Gary Jules is a 40-year-old singer and songwriter and his famous song is "Mad World", which was a single in December 2003 and was the song that the group talked and presented to the class. This music was also used in a commercial for Gears of War (Xbox 360 video game), in the well known medical drama Dr. House and even in Portugal for "Galp Energia".
The lyrics is about life and its problems, sorrows and chalenges, something everyone does, which makes a beatiful music for all ages. One thing I like also is the way and tune it is played, in a smooth, calm and melodic form accompanied by piano, making us stop, understand and reflect when we listen.
When I saw the videoclip, that's surprised me about is creativity, because at the roof of the school we can see people doing animated pictures, like a face, a car, an animal or a boat in movement, wich some of them are related to the lyrics.
Here's the videoclip and it makes worth the while seeing it ;) enjoy!
