I saw the movie "Donny Darko" early in my teaching career. This song captivated me in a very powerful way. I vowed never to be 'that' teacher... "now sit and listen" has never been uttered by my lips; I can look back on my career now that it is nearing its end and be satisfied that every student I have ever taught has been seen, valued, engaged, and yes... loved; (this was high school and community college now). Every teacher should see this movie. It should be required watching.

I know this song since the begining, then here at YouTube I had the oportunity to know how to play this song. I travelled a lot, and this song is still one of my soundtrack live. Thanks Gary Jules.

A true CLASSIC! Music like this with such poignant words, ought to be played in public places, like on trains, in waiting rooms and other places where people have fewest distractions & time to savour the words. THANKS GARY! 👏🤗🙏

Happy 20 freaking years!!! I remember little old me sitting in front of the computer and hearing this song for the Gears of War game trailer, the song fit so well for the atmosphere of that game and even though I didn't look up the song it stuck with me for YEARS until one day I found the music video. This takes me back, not only does the vocals and instrumental fit together perfectly, but it really gets me quite nostalgic and gets me in my feels and makes me reflect on the world around me. Thank you for reuploading this gem brother and take care out there, it's still a mad world indeed. 👍❤️

Love from Michael in Missouri.

This is the credit scene Soundtrack when this planet ends.

This, to me, has always been about a child SCREAMING for help or guidance or to be heard (HELP ME, PLEASE!!!) about what most of us felt as we navigated through the complexities of an unnatural man-made world and being totally lost in it and not knowing what to do. "How am I am supposed to act?", "What am I supposed to do?". This hit me back in the 80's and it hits me now because I am still lost. I think we all are lost but are afraid to admit it.

This song just gets me every time, but the line “the dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had “ just breaks me, look up mr smith and his daughter singing this together, the best feeling will fill you

[graemew]

Incredible version of a tremendous song. Very talented gentleman.

[anthonymustaine]

Loved the TFF original version but as a keyboard/piano lover, learned this version which is absolutely beautiful
