On a very somber night, I started to go through my computer archives looking for nothing in particular. I think I really may have been looking for a song, the perfect song to match my mood. I was so sure I would find it somewhere in the retrospect of my life. Then I found it…….
The song mad world by Gary Jules. It’s a peculiar song that I could never quite resist even though the eerie piano tune and the profound lyrics are a little scary, forbidden if you will. I could never say to someone “hey listen to this song” because I somehow felt it was inappropriate to share the song which was to me more of an experience than just a song. In any case, I would listen to the song and fall into the creative mood that it put me in. Then I found a piano rendition and I thought “how about I write my own cover to it!”. So I did…
Now I can sing my own version and not get sucked too deep into melancholy. Here it goes…
Verse 1
Sitting in the dark her face seems wasted
Sore and Jaded
Sore and Jaded
He walks in and slams the door behind him
So frustrated
So frustrated
Years before they’d been a happy family
Now that’s faded
Now that’s faded
People say theirs was a troubled marriage
Complicated
Complicated
Chorus
And I find it kinda funny.
