[TheQuietPlace]

"All around me all familiar faces
worn out places
worn out faces
grinding down(?) from the daily races
going nowhere
going nowhere
not ever filling up their glasses
no expression
no expression
I about have the will to drown my sorrow
no tomorrow
no tomorrow.."

Does anyone know who does this song??

I heard it on the commercial for Gears of War...and I absolutely love love love it!

You're talking about "Mad World" - though some of your lyrics are off.

Originally written and released by Tears For Fears in 82, made famous outside the UK by Gary Jules in 2001 (which is the version used in the commercial you heard). I prefer the original, but then I'm old enough to have used cellphones with separate batteries.

Just for future reference, when you got a song in your head that you don't know where it's from, just google, ie.:

"All around me all familiar faces worn out places" "lyrics"

And yes, with the quotes.

...And if it doesn't work the first time due to misinterpretted lyrics, just try different parts of the song. XD

[Mindgames]

OK, can all the people who were born in 1982, or are so young they don't know who Furllo, Poncherelli or Hawkeye Pierce are, please get it over with and make Mr Karl and me feel OLD.

I'll be on the porch chewing mashed carrots.
