A choice song, with meaning. Probably the best cover of the original Tears for Fears song. Love the very clever video, shot in Hoboken, New Jersey, with an end shot across Manhattan with the Empire State building in the distance. As for change, the reality for me is summed up by French writer Alphonse Karr, "the more things change, the more they stay the same".
@lynn200 Just read you note on Laos. I think that is my addled over tired brain transporting you over the border. My mistake. Pleased you have a good sized project on.
@itskerryc lolzzz,always wanted to go there...but what i said was true,especially in the N..its now just one big casino,its happening here,land grabbing....didnt know till i came here to live that SE Asia is just gambling...card tables everywhere..i'll post my project once completed..can have a look. one of my FB friends (Egyptian photographer) posted''Play it Again Sam..the same old story of* love and glory*,you must remember this...yeah :(
@polly7923 i lost a couple.* i just go around sometimes and enjoy myself.. i dont care bout numbers..apologises to your hubby..need to come and listen. its such a rain-soaked day today nothing is opening....oh well:)
@lynn200 — mad it is, indeed, huh? I remember the revelation of Network (www.imdb.com/title/tt0074958/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1), a brilliant, though frustrating picture of a major TV network and the mentality of the rich and powerful behind it, which I saw for the first time many, many years after it was made (1976) and the message is still so sadly valid, after almost 40 years. When, if ever, will we, as a species, learn? On the bright note—nice to see you back, Lynn :). A brilliant jam, thanks.
@homosporocarpus i remember that film.the press/media have a lot to still, if not more to answer for,happy to be away from it all.we all have a bag on our backs,sometimes it gets too heavy..still very busy,but achieving :) i missed my music,some old friends...it feels nice not to hurry over music,just enjoy..thx.
@MyBlueElephant it is all subjective,he sings with a sense of hopelesness,the way i felt about it all when i jammed it,It Is a Mad World....but my moods improved....tomorrow.n night..:)
Brilliant video and song. Love it also as the soundtrack of Donnie Darko, one of my all time favourite movies. lmovieLmovieLooks like you've been busy like me, few time for Timj... Welcome back :)
@NunoDonnie Darko is a new one for me...i'm working hard to open a new FB page for solely work,also been studying photography,lots of down-loads...different roads :)

I prefer this cover to the original from Tears for fears. the music emphases the lyrics (don't know if I'm clear)
