Okay, so I had a magical idea to keep us entertained if we have writers block or don't have and motivation to RP.

Each week, I will PM somebody to pick one of their favourite songs, and post the link here. We'll discuss it, why we liked it or why we didn't. If you want to analyse lyrics, talk about instruments involved then be my guest.

So I'll chose it for this week and PM somebody on Monday (My time, Dublin time). Then said person will post their song and post it up the next day (Tuesday).

If I PM a person who doesn't wanna do it, then please PM back and I'll move to the next person.

The song I chose for this week is Mad World, the version by Gary Jules. The original artist is, I believe, Tears for Fears. I like this song, because it's supposed to give an insight of life through a teenager's eyes. Some parts I relate to, some I don't.

It's one of those songs that is really depressing, but really good to listen to. I also love playing it on piano.

Now enough what I think, here it is for yourselves:

Mad World-Gary Jules

I like this idea El, I too admit to liking this song.
I first heard when watching Donnie Darko it matchs that film perfectly, however my freinds find the song really depressing and therefore don't like listening to it

I believe that this song not only portrays how it's like to see from a teenaged point of view but also how mad the world can be at times. (anyone remember that rumour that the world was going to be destroyed by a man made black hole)

Or the rumour that it'll end on 2012? I can't wait to wake up on December 22nd, 2012 and shout 'FAIL!' :P

Yeah, I heard it first on the Gears of War ad...I think. Then a girl in my class thought me how to play it :P

I remeber that trailer, I find that all 3 of the gears of war trailers. (for games 1,2,3) to be good. They all have a bit of sad side to them all but that again reflects the games the trailer is for.

I listened to Mad World when I imagined the nuke hitting Eleben. I try to gain inspiration from music.

Btw, all credit for this idea goes to the people in the region Yggdrasil. It'd be wrong to claim this as my own :)

Great idea, El. :)

I love this song. It's kind of depressing, but also peaceful to listen to.

I forgot about this until just now. ^o)

One of my favourite is *drumroll* walk away by franz ferdinand. I was tempted by the tears for fears version of 'Mad World' purely for the angry comments!

But frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. Walk away is very awesome song in my opinion because of the tempo and minor chords, among other musical things that I know nothing about. (I think I was a bad choice for this, El! :$ )

The lyrics are *reads between the lines* about domestic abuse and mascara. Any more comments are welcome from people who are better at this than me. ;)
