“The decision to cover “Mad World” by Tears for Fears was not taken lightly and was driven by emotion. It is not only one of their favorite songs of all time, but it also had a profound impact on the mother of one of the producers. The song helped her through one of the most difficult times in her life where she felt that her world had crashed and was left lost and alone. The new approach of “Mad World” aims to give a modern touch to the evergreen but keeping the main focus on the songwriting itself.” – JACK-O
