Tribute to my favourite band :) My own cover of Mad World by Tears for Fears
I've never denied that my favorite band and one of my greatest influence is the british new-wave group Tears for Fears :) I have all their discography and I confess I know by heart many of their songs. Past March it was the 30th anniversary of their first album (ohh that makes me feel really vintage) "The Hurting". Thus I encouraged myself to make a reinterpretation of one of they most known songs. Mad World, written by Orzabal and sung by Curt Smith, premiered as single late 1982 and within The Hurting in 1983. This song became popular due to a cover by Gary Jules, and though I love Jules version it really annoys me that many have forgotten the original source, credit and composers, and thus I picked this one that I made improvising choirs inspired in the original electronic TFF version. I cover many of their songs when I'm alone at the piano so I may try to make a few other versions soon but so far I hope you like it, and remember there's nothing like the original so be sure to check the original song after watching mine :) Feedback is welcome though and I'm thrilled that Curt Smith himself made a retweet of my humble tribute, just because of that I'm very happy :). So here it is me playing piano, harp, synth, flute and percussions too.
