When I was younger (and I am not even that old) I was so mesmerized by popular music I didn't know anything else could sound good. I grew up when rap was starting, when heavy metal found it groove, and grunge ruled the world. I loved it all. Concerts, tapes (then CDs), t-shirts.... those were the things I needed. Who cares that I play it so loud my speakers get distorted. Who cares that I, growing up in a town with a population of 1000 in Oklahoma, didn't even know what half the stuff they were saying meant. That pretty much changed when I fell in love with Nirvana. That band made me sit and listen. They made me understand and feel just how powerful a song could be. Well this all leads to my latest obsession song. I was watching Donnie Darko for the first time a few weeks ago and heard Mad World as performed by Gary Jules. How can you not be moved to tears by the beauty and at the same time sorrow of that song. Jules voice has the perfect companion in the wistful piano. I was so pleased when I saw ITumes offered the song. Now though I can't stop playing it. Honestly, it make the Tears for Fears version seem, I don't know, quaint.
