Mad World
I don't usually write about American Idol contestants or the show itself for that matter, but I enjoyed watching this young man sing his version of "Mad World" so much I had to let you know about it!
Adam Lambert ended the night on American Idol with a fantastic rendition of "Mad World" a song written by Roland Orzabal. Simon Cowell actually asked the audience to give Adam a standing ovation for his very original performance of the song. You can see the video here.
First recorded in 1982 by the group "Tears for Fears", this was the bands first chart hit, going to #3 in the U.K.. Here are the video renditions of the song by Tears for Fears and the later interpretation by Gary Jules.

Tears for Fears
And here are the lyrics...
All around me are familiar faces, Worn out places, Worn out faces;
Bright and early for the daily races, Going nowhere, going nowhere; The tears are fillig up their glasses, No expression, no expression;
Hide my head, I wonna drown my sorrow, No tomorrow, no tomorrow;
And I find it kind of funny, ' find it kind of sad, The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I 've ever had; I find it hard to tell you; I find hard to take; When people running circles its a very, very - mad world, mad world;
Children waiting for the day they feel good; Happy birthday, happy birthday; And I 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, He looked right through me, 'looked right through me;
And I find it kind of funny, ' find it kind of sad, The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I 've ever had; I find it hard to tell you; I find hard to take; When people runnin' circles its a very, very - mad world, mad world;
