MAD WORLD: MUSIC VIDEO - A New Spin on Gary Jules


Gary Jules made MAD WORLD famous with his downtempo brooding piano version. Originally written by Tears for Fears, and appearing on the Donnie Darko soundtrack, Gary Jules version charted higher than the original. It's one of my favorite songs, so I decided to cover it with a slightly different melodic arrangement and a more aggressive vocal style. Check out my music video for Mad World, and I hope you enjoy.

MAD WORLD: A NEW TAKE ON THE GARY JULES VERSION

Gary Jules version of the Tears for Fears song Mad World is one of my favorite songs. It actually charted higher than the original version, perhaps thanks in large part to the success of Donnie Darko. I wanted to cover the song, and actually recorded a version with piano very similar to Gary Jules... but then I thought, "what's the point?" In my opinion it can't be done better, so do it different... I've put a new, more aggressive acoustic spin on the song. Some people will love it, some will hate it... but it's fresh and not a carbon copy, so give it a listen, and let me know what you think. As always, thank you for your support.

SNAKE IN THE GRASS: NEW MUSIC VIDEO


Check out my new music video for Snake in the Grass. This was shot on the iPhone with an 8mm filter. The snake, which is an Eastern Diamond Back Rattle Snake, was shot on the Panasonic HPX 170 at 60 FPS.  Watch it just for the snake footage, if nothing else. Hope you enjoy!
