► New Song: Mad World ► Purchase this song here:https://daymusik.bandcamp.com/track/mad-world My take on the song by Tears for Fears. I have been trying to avoid the word "cover" strictly for copyrights. This isn't a remix because it doesn't use any vocals or samples originally from the source song, and it isn't a "cover" because it doesn't use an instrumental or karaoke track made available for the use of covering the song (a definition of "cover" I recall once seeing). This was all an entirely new interpretation of the song with even some changes to the chord progressions at time and a change in the lyrics at the end (since changing up that one line is a thing people apparently like to do).

► Listen. I've stopped caring. Things are going terribly in my life. Have this song. Enjoy it or not, I don't care. The way I write descriptions — I draft them in WordPad first before copying and pasting them onto YouTube, as of writing this I don't even know if this video is going to be capable of being uploaded. With this song, I am going to be testing a lot of... things... with YouTube and with everywhere else this song gets released to. But, honestly, I'm just glad to get it finished and out there, and here's hoping I make more original songs in the future to not have to deal with the headache of copyright.
► As for the thumbnail picture... just deal with it. I like paws and I tend to turn to them to cheer me up. In this mad world we live in, at least I have paws. I made the image in Blender because I had a better more grandiose image in mind for this deep, emotional song, but it was beyond my capabilities. I was going to try to draw the idea myself but it would not have been an enjoyable experience for me just for a crappy mediocre rendition of the idea I had in mind. I tried making the idea in Blender... but no. Just no. Inevitably, I was just going to us an AI image for this song since an AI-generated image I made managed to follow my idea perfectly. That felt too impersonal for this song, however, so I wanted to at least add a touch of real artistry to the image by drawing over it by hand and patching up all the errors there were, but some douchebag on his "professionally trained artist" high-horse just made me completely lose interest in drawing, so I quit drawing entirely.
So, take this half-assed image because that's all I could be bothered to make at this point.
Lyrics: All around me are familiar faces, worn out places, worn out faces. Bright and early for their daily races, going nowhere, going nowhere. Their tears are filling up their glasses, no expression, no expression. Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow. No tomorrow, no tomorrow.
And I find it kind of funny I 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 'cause I find it hard to take. When people run in circles, it's a very, very Mad world. Mad world. Mad world. Mad world.
Children waiting for the day they feel good. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Made to feel the way that ev'ry 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? Look right through me. Look right through me.
And I find it kind of funny I 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 'cause I find it hard to take. When people run in circles, it's a very, very Mad world. Mad world. Mad world. Mad world.
And I find it kind of funny I 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 'cause I find it hard to take. When people run in circles, it's a very, very Mad world. Mad world. Orwellian world. Mad world.
