myLot reputation of 97/100. mamabeezy (114) 4 years ago

the song by gary jules is probably one of my favorite songs ever.
it's at the very end of the movie,
and the song alone made me shed a few tears watching Donnie Darko for the first time.

What do you think of the song?

It's a cover song. Thinking it was sung by Tears For Fears. Yeah, the Donnie Darko version is good.

Ugh! I love this song. It definitely makes me cry if I'm in the right mood.

"I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad, the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had."

So sad.

Given the nature and content of the film, you would expect the Gary Jules cover to be the "creepier" version but no, the original, even though the melody is more upbeat and has fewer minor chords, is downright spooky.

Adam Lambert, this season's American Idol runner-up, sang it one week and he kind of combined the two versions. It turned out well and is available on iTunes.
