As the title says....which song still haunts you emotionally? And why? A (freely accessible) link might greatly bring your point across.
Mine would be: (Typhoon - "Empiricist") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E328pIZWFM
The lyrics go deep and it just touches me. No otherwise special attachment.
Mad World. I respect Tears for Fears, but Gary Jules did it much better
IMHO, Jasmine Thompson aced the song.
The Pentatonix version comes in tied for second place.
Why? I think the song really nails how we can feel about this world sometimes. It was a fairly good description of me In my more depressed times, or at least, it triggers some very familiar feelings of the past. How can I describe it.. It's like I am looking at myself and the world through dead eyes. There are no feelings, no emotion and just the buzz of the world happening around me for no reason. (That description almost mirrors some of the lyrics, now that I think about it. What can I say? It's an accurate song.)
Honestly, the Thompson/Pentatonix versions were both heart- and soulless. Dunno how they got this popular? Even though I love TearsForFears, Gary Jules indeed did the best version of it.
"The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had..."
Ouch.
