Hey everyone hope ur having a lovely evening, im absolutely stopped in my tracks trying to figure out the title to this REM song (im pretty sure its REM) its a sad song(not Everybody Hurts) it goes something like "Im feelin kinda funny, im feeling kind of sad... (something something) is the best i ever had"

does anyone know the title so i can dl it? I'm aching to hear it again, thanx in advance!

...Those dreams in which I'm dying are the best I ever had...???

Can't remember but I'm pretty sure it wasn't REM :(.
Sorry .

i think it's "mad world" by gary jules. it was on the donnie darko soundtrack.


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 it's a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world

Yeah its funny so many people are unaware of the original.
The Gary Jules version became popular thanks to Donnie Darko. Tears For Fears' version is a little more up tempo and a full band version, not just the piano.
Both are excellent.
