Description : UPDATE 10/03/2015 Some adjustments made to the mix. Yet another track I had up on the loop a few years back before I deleted it. This one though, went thru some retooling and remixing. I dont consider this to be one hundred percent complete as Im still tweaking around with the mix (the oboe nearly drove me to my knees!) but then again I think we're all like that.
This track is a cover for a cover. Its a hip hop cover for Gary Jules' Mad World cover of the original Tears for Fears' Mad World. Both are exceptional in their own feel/style.
I know people groan when they see a classic track become hip-hop-itized but I say give this one a shot.

Oh yea I gotta say this: I take no credit for the music as all credit goes to the original artist so on and so forth.

    I'm a fan of the original song, and this does it justice--so elegant. I like the occasional hiccuped irregularities in the percussion; it adds it interest, and I think that adding more white space is always a good idea in design. Nice job.

    Hey CD many many thanks for your comment. I tried not to stray too far away from Gary Jules version as I know how beloved that song is for many people, just dont know how well I succeeded. But Im glad that it did for you.

    Thanks again.

    Hey there, I tried to respond to your contact, and was greeted with an indication that you have turned your contact option off. I am eager to renew ties with you regarding this project. I have failed at at least half of the colaboarations I have gotten involved in over the years, and I think this was one of them./. seems like so long ago. Lets do it though. Please contact me again, but with your email addy and I will write you. Have loved this song for many years, and I will try to add my feeling to it. Good beginning for sure! Fave!

    great little cover of a fave of mine

    simplicity is the key dig the stripped
    breaks like the string rises
    oboe touches , sounds very rounded imo

    Much appreciated for your time and review.
    I tried hard not to hurt Gary Jules masterpiece with this cover as that was a fav of mine as well.

    Thanks BeatMaker I appreciate your comment and time.
    Its funny though I feel like the Oboe is the one that needs more work (on the mixing side of things).

    Not bad, the only other version of a hip hop cover i know is prozaks "american princess" and that turned out well if u want to look at that

    Hey DM thanks for the feedback. I did check out the prozaks track. It was pretty good interesting little story. It had a groovy bass that I especially liked.

    Thanks
