The trance one I don't like, but as mentioned in the post, I dont like that type of trance, but the others, more musical ones, I appreciate a lot as well. Always nice to hear different interpretations.
This is one of my favourite songs, encouraged to share a post with it maybe, but as lovely and haunting as Gary Jules version is a cover too and sometimes I feel like people has forgotten the original source (I know you mentioned). I am devoted though to the Tears for Fears original in the early 80s. Donny Darko featured more TFF songs too, such an odd movie.
Yep, the movie is pretty strange, but maybe because of that, I like the movie so much :)
Also, the original by Tears for Fears, is very interesting to listen, quite different to the Jules version. Funny to see how the way a song is performed, it can sound totally different.
Love the movie 'Donnie Darko' and Gary Jules' version of the song. I'm glad that you knew it was originally a Tears for Fears song. I wasn't aware of that for several years, the original sounds so off to me after hearing the Gary Jules version so much. Either way, nice and informative little compilation here.
hahaha, yeh, I grew up with Tears for Fears, and their version is quite typical sound of that 80s band! Much much quicker and all in all making it less emotional imho. Although I do like the original version by Tears for Fears, the Gary one I prefer. What you think of the Kalkbrenner remix?
One of the funny aspects of this that Tears For Fears says the cover has influenced the way they perform the song now. I read once that now they play it much slower to be more in line with Gary Jules' version. It's interesting to see a cover song affect the original artist that way. Also, the Kalkbrenner remix is pretty cool. Definiately one of the better remixes I've heard of this.
Yeh indeed, but back in the days, when Tears for Fears released this song, the way they approach music was in the fast side. Anyway, indeed, different artists have different ways of looking at the same thing, and that is why I really like remixes what happens a lot in the electronic dance music segment; You can get really interesting results by someone else having a go at some original track.
I see around me so many people carrying out their daily routines, every single day, over and over again without taking the time to do something different, to spark their lives and mind.
"From the way most people live, one would never guess that humans are beings of free will. Repetition can be a choice, but often it isn't. The athlete or pianist who practices the same routine day after day, year after year, has their eye on a goal. The unending repetition is a conscious choice in the pursuit of a life dream. But what about the sameness of most lives? Observe the morning commute, the after-work drink, the Sunday football game or religious service - how many of those people are consciously following their dream, training their mind, body, and spirit through that daily repetition? And how many are mindlessly slogging through each day out of habit and boredom?" - Jonathan Lockwood Huie
I forgot about this! Yes, I love that quote. I don't know anything else about the guy who wrote it, but I love the way it encourages consciousness of our routines and whether they support our goals.
I saw the Donnie Darko rabbit image and had to drop in and see what was going on in here :)
I do love that song also, fitting tune for the movie. The alternate versions are new to me though, so gonna take some time to listen. Thanks :)
What a rabbit can do! :)
Let me know what you think of the other versions!
They all work for me. The original, for sure. But adding some beats, chilled or uptempo works also. Thanks for the share.
Super! Cool!
