This arrangement contains the complete song but has been transposed from the original key for ease of reading. This is an "easy piano" (level 3-4 of most method books) arrangement of "Mad World" as performed by Gary Jules. Mad World is available in three voicings ? SSA, SAB and SATB ? all with piano accompaniment. The ending section includes overlapping motif ideas which can be effectively dramatized in accordance with the included performance notes. In keeping with the poignant simplicity of the Gary Jules version, this choral arrangement seeks to maintain the clarity of the text, with passing dissonances highlighting the word ?mad?. "It's a bizarre viewpoint to watch people go about their daily routine, having to work for a living, when you're sitting in a flat, unemployed," he said. Here he would spend his time looking out the window, strumming guitar and watching people going about their daily business. Orzabal wrote the song when he was 19, living in an apartment above a pizza shop in Bath. This version became a UK number one hit when it was released as a single in 2003. It has since been covered by an extensive list of singers, most notably by Gary Jules and Michael Andrews for the soundtrack of the 2001 film Donnie Darko.
