Nope, not REM but close

It's Michael Andrew feat. Gary Jules with a track from the end of the movie Donnie Darko called "Mad World".

Simply stunning track IMHO.

BTW, it's released as a single in December as it's pitched for Christmas #1 but can found on CD2 of Now 56 which is out now.

As cover versions go this is a superb rendition, still love the original 12" though

Cool

I heard it for the first time, on Steve Wright this afternoon, I was never very keen on the original (Tears for Fears?), but this version works really well.

Donnie Darko is a great film. Mad World - the original and the best - is by Tears for Fears.

If you like that tune spend your money on the TFF album Pale Shelter. It has the original song and every other track on there is a gem. One of the best albums of the 80s IMHO.
