What’s a song that grew on you over time?
I used to resent the Tears for Fears version of "Mad World," because, you know, the Gary Jules cover on the Donnie Darko soundtrack. But my love for other Tears for Fears tracks eventually whittled away my resolve and I can appreciate this for what it is.
It's no "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." It's no "Shout." It's clearly no "Head Over Heels." But it is a banger.
