《怵目驚魂28天》片尾曲 -- Mad World
在一個沉悶溼熱的午後，我如昔一邊看著書籍，一邊聽著音樂，打算享受著悠閒無煩惱的下午。豈料沒多久，不知為何心情莫名沉重了起來，啊，是了，我撥放的是恩雅新世紀音樂，難怪。
好吧，為了平復一下逐漸低落的情緒，到Youtube看看有沒有什麼好玩有趣的影片。隨便點了個TV Game動畫影片「Gears of War」，嗯，不錯不錯，不知幾百年沒玩遊戲了，現在的遊戲動畫都做得如此精美啊，只不過，這、這不是動作射擊遊戲嗎，應該會讓我熱血沸騰才對啊，怎麼看完後一股哀傷孤寂的情緒湧上心頭。只能說遊戲廠商的廣告創意太厲害了，隊友陣亡只剩自己孤軍奮戰的動畫故事配上相當感傷的歌曲，著實讓我整個心情盪到最低點。這首歌實在太黯然銷魂，簡單的音符構築出美妙的旋律，我反覆聽了好幾遍，已經提不起勁把書讀下去了，一切都是這首歌害的...
這麼優的歌曲當然得趕緊到網路上查一下相關資料，原來這首歌「Mad World」是在1982年由「Tears for Fears」這個樂團所創作，當時的曲風是以舞曲方式呈現，雖然歌詞非常無奈和悲傷，可惜卻無法和曲風產生共鳴，因此推出後並沒有受到大眾的注意。直到2001年由Michael Andrews和Gary Jules為電影《怵目驚魂28天 (Donnie Darko)》改編為片尾曲，才聲名大噪。
這部電影我也曾經看過，是一部非常好看的時空科幻電影，剛好劇情也忘光了，那就順便翻翻我那擁擠的電影收藏櫃，好好來重溫複習一下。不看還好，看了心情更加煩悶和氣憤，原因和電影劇情本身沒關係，而是國內影片代理商製作的Video CD畫質實在不堪入目，簡直和V8偷拍沒兩樣，如此品質根本是不把消費者放在眼裡，完全枉顧消費者權益，更讓人感到無奈的是，這家代理商居然還能活到現在還沒倒，這是什麼世界啊，" It's a very, very mad world... "。
| Mad World |
| All around me are familiar faces |
| Worn out places, worn out faces |
| Bright and early for their daily races |
| Going nowhere, going nowhere |
| Their tears are filling up their glasses |
| No expression, no expression |
| Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow |
| No tomorrow, no tomorrow |
| And I find it kinda funny |
| I find it kinda 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 |
| 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 kinda funny |
| I find it kinda 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 |
| Enlarging your world |
| Mad world |
