It's just asking for people to take the piss at school.

I think it's cool that they're playing it the way Gary Jules did.

I usually strongly prefer the original version of a song over the remake, but Gary Jules made an unnoticed Tears For Fears song great.

I actually prefer the Gary Jules version. The tempo of the TFF version is just to rapid. It doesn't quite work as well.

It is such a fitting song for the times.

He is blessed with a voice for the ages. I actually saw him in concert right after American Idol was over. Incredible performer, and that voice, oh my gosh, that voice.

By the time it was over, I sat here the calmest I have felt in weeks. Music is healing. That was absolutely beautiful.
