最近透過影集「Glee Projcet」聽到了這首歌,

這實境選秀節目每一集都會用一首歌來考驗參賽者,

在要求每個人說出內心最脆弱的那個點為主題,用了這首歌。

有人說『肥胖』最讓人自卑,

天生長不高的人最怕聽到人說他『矮小』,

自覺對所有的人事物都沒有感覺,深怕自己是不是已經『麻木無感』了。

就這樣一個一個說出自己的弱點,

漸漸我整個人也被這樣的氣氛染上了些許的憂傷,也引起了我對這首歌的好奇。

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tommorow, no tommorow

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
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to 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
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
'Cos 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
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World
Mad World
Enlarging your world
Mad World

一如往常地,【YOUTUBE】是我的深入探索的最佳工具,

打上了「Mad World」,竟然出現了好多版本,

原來這首歌是80年代天團【Tears for Fears】的歌曲,

而我,早在國中時代就聽過這首歌,怎麼會這樣?

對音樂自詡算是有音感的人,只要是聽過應該不會忘記才對啊?

重新再聽了【Tears for Fears】的版本,我知道為何了,

原來一開始的版本是中版偏快的電子搖滾,

相對【Gary Jules】那憂傷的鋼琴主奏版本,根本就像是兩首完全不同的歌嘛!

有興趣的人你們比較看看,看我說的對不對!

但是仔細在想想,在電子樂風行的80年代,還有來自英國那終年陰冷的國家,

中版偏快的電子搖滾,用冷眼旁觀的角度表達出世人身楚這冷酷世界有著歇斯底里般的無奈,也很合理。

回頭再聽【Gary Jules】的版本,彷彿他自己就是這世界邊緣人,緩慢唱出他那令人無法喘息的悲哀。

就這樣,【Gary Jules】讓這首歌在隔了20多年後用新的角度,讓這首再次紅了起來,

電影「觸目驚魂28天」(Donnie Darko)也用這首歌當主題曲來表達片中男主角的無奈!

最令我絕得莞爾的是當【Gary Jules】的版本紅了之後,

Tears for Fears】再巡迴演唱會時唱的這首歌,也變成慢板了,

有興趣的人可以去找找2006年出版的演唱會專輯(Secret World)來聽聽囉!

最後也要一如往常的來個加映,送上【阿桑】的「瘋了」!

你聽了就知道為何要放這首歌了。
