'He tells stories. The other thing is, he’s a captivating
performer. He’s really serious about what he’s doing, he
works really hard, and you throw that whole package
together and you’ve got an artist who, in my opinion, could
quite easily be selling out 2000 or 3000 seat venues.' Nic

Trading Snakeoil For Wolftickets is Gary Jules’ second
album. It gives space to Gary’s ghostly timbre, his
delicate guitar playing and his vivid stories about HIS Los
Angeles. Not the LA of Hollywood and shine and glitz and
emptiness, but the downtown of Koreatown and the
mausoleum-like Ambassador Hotel where Robert Kennedy was
shot. 'A metropolitan city, more like New York than LA,
where people are walking around, going More...
Review about Gary Jules ... | Reviewer: No one
------ About the song Mad World performed by Gary Jules
This is an amazing song, Gary Jules does a beautiful job singing it. I've heard other versions and this is by far my favorite, its funny when I was younger I was always upset. I don't think I was ever really happy, never seeing my father, or my brother and sister... But now, I'm in highschool and I think, "Wow, in just a few years I'm going to be calling the shots, have my own family and a job" this song really shows the transition between childhood to adulthood. Quiet frankly it scares me but whenever I listen to this song I just want to laugh, I always thought my life was so hard, but now I realize its not going to change. Anyone who reads this and your not yet an adult, enjoy your youth while you have it, life is only going to get harder as you live it.
Good song | Reviewer: Zyrin
------ About the song Mad World performed by Gary Jules
This song shows what all of us, or at least most of us, have felt at least once in our lives. It's a song that echoes across time to everyone. It's a rather sad song, but extremely powerful.
For the record, this is a cover of the same song by Tears Before Fears. It's probably one of their better known songs, but always by the cover versions. This particular version has been featured in Gears of War, The Cleaner, CSI, Without A Trace, and Judging Amy, to name a few places.
Titles are overrated. | Reviewer: Aimee~
------ About the song Falling Awake performed by Gary Jules
It frustrates me in a strange way knowing that the vast majority of people posting here heard this song on Grey's Anatomy. Not sure why though.
It is pleasing to know Gary Jules is getting out there though and that people are aware he has other recordings aside from his cover of Mad World.
Whoooooopa~
Emotion | Reviewer: KJ
------ About the song Mad World performed by Gary Jules
I have listened to this song countless times and have tried to determined which version I like better Tears for Fears or Gary Jules. I chose Gary Jules for this reason...
When you speed this song up, it is very easy to brush past the lyrics which is the key element for the song (to me)
Jules has an amazing way of capturing the emotion behind the lyrics and really makes you think, is this really what growing up is about...
Funny how we all thought that being a kid was the worst thing in the world until we got grown and things became increasingly more difficult.
Masterpiece | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Mad World performed by Gary Jules
As someone below said - this song is a masterpiece because it resides the pain of the soul - the deep inside pain, when you feel lost and feel more like BORED.. When you wake up the morning knowing what to do, everything is the same - "same story another day".. I listen to it whenever I'm lost, this song.. is just perfect.
I might have other or weird explanations; might be wrong and might be not.. But thats what I feel.

------ About the song Falling Awake performed by Gary Jules
Who cares if it takes a tv show or game or whatever to get the singer/song noticed? The point is it's a really good song :) and personally, i heard it on Grey's Anatomy. Doesn't change the fact that it's an amazing song though, or that Gary Jules is great. Yeah, that's all.

The real truth | Reviewer: forever21
------ About the song Mad World performed by Gary Jules
It's ashame that some people are shallow. I suppose the reason it appeals to me is I can relate to it. The truth is rarely spoken , much less sung. This is one of the few songs that the pain of the soul is told , when we feel lost or dying inside.
So what if some people are offended with the truth because they can't handle it. All i can say to Jim Jernouski is "If the shoe fits....."
P.S. Your claim that Jules is a retard because he is "insulting" is a contradictory , for your review is not only insulting it's degrading. I wonder what that makes you.
Be Well

Everyone seems to of heard this song from Gray's Anatomy. Personally, I have never seen Gray's Anatomy. I don't even know how i found this song... but I did. But anyways, this is an amazing song, very soothing and peaceful. The guitar is amazing, so simple, yet, just good. As for the lyrics, there just out of this world. This is by far my favorite Gary Jules song.
Also (AGREEING WITH DANNO), I don't know why it takes Gray's Anatomy or Gears of War to discover an artist. An artist like this should be discovered because of his talent. I discovered him a while back but I have loved him from the moment I heard him.
