IT'S A MAD MAD WORLD

Let's face it, Adam Lambert is an awesome person. If you haven't already known who this guy is, you have obviously been away from the face of this Earth and you should definitely check him out. For someone who has not been watching American Idol at all to like this guy, it certainly speaks volumes about how good he really is.

I love songs, yet I never really get blown away that easily unless a singer sings really well and manages to infuse his own emotions into a song. He doesn't need to try to do so, cause if it's there, then it's there. Somehow though, this one song sang by Adam Lambert during one of the performance absolutely blew me away beyond words. I heard this song on radio whilst in camp and I was immediately captivated by it, immediately wondering what the title of the song was and who the singer was. A stunning take on a song so beautifully written, and personally if I were Simon I too would have given him a standing ovation. Take a listen and soothe your souls my friends!

Mad World (Cover By Tears For Fears)

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

And 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 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
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
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 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
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World

This may be based upon feelings of children but if you were to analyse it closely, this really is not too far from the harsh reality we all feel from time to time. As humans it is only normal for us to desire attention and love, yet sometimes we just do not get what we want. We feel left out, we feel alone when we try to fit in. We try to seek someone to speak to and hear us out but there's nobody, nobody, that would fulfill our need.

The human species can indeed be an irony come to think of it. We know what we want and yearn for, basic human rights and emotions, yet we are ignorant enough to understand the basic human rights and emotions of others.

Are we all not humans?
