最近看了一部电影《Donnie Darko》，中文名叫“死亡幻觉”，在结尾处放了一首很好听的歌曲，到网上一查才知道，此曲还小有名气，是英国乐队Tears For Fears在82年创作的早期作品之一，由Roland Orzabal创作和乐队贝斯手Curt Smith演唱。20年后，当这电影在片尾又再使用了Michael Andrews和Gary Jules创作的叙事版本的Mad World，使得此曲在2003年12月达到了英国热销单曲的首位。

　　这首曲子本身非常得好听，我刚一听见就下定决心一定要学会。之后，就花了些时间录制了此曲，但最终效果感觉还是差了点，看来得再深入的学习一下混音才行了。

　　这首“Mad World”另外一个吸引我的地方在于此曲的歌词，或许作词者当初创作时，他的本意并未想到我所想到的东西，但确实也算是一种巧合啦。我从歌词中看到了什么呢？

　　我看到了轮回，永无止尽的轮回，而大多数人却沉浸其中，不断的周而复始，以为一切都如此的真实，一切都那么的有意义而乐在其中，然后继续不停的一生再一生周而复始的反复做类似的事情。只有像电影和歌词中描述的那样，主角反反复复不停的在这个死循环中不停的轮回，直到梦中的那次死亡，在真实中醒来的那一刻才是最美的感受（暗示涅磐，永久的脱离轮回苦海）。也愿所有众生都能早日脱离轮回。

　　好啦，分享此曲：

Mad World

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going no where Going no where
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression No expression
Hide my head I wanna 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, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it’s a very very
Mad world Mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday Happy birthday
And I 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, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world
