The song at the end of Donnie Darko is still playing in my head. Just watched the Director's Cut tonight. It did have a different feel to it from the theater version, or maybe it's because it's my fourth time. Regardless, it's haunting me. They're all waking up from their dreams, remembering, half-remembering, and this Tears for Fears remake of "Mad World" is playing, and it's tremendously sad to me.
"And I think it's kinda funny
I think it's kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had"
The verses are even more poignant - for some reason it moved me to tears tonight. Just a few, but still, tears. Music can do that, especially when a song seems to reflect how you feel, the tone or mood of your days. "Mad World" and "kinda funny, kinda sad" - those lyrics feel like an accurate reflection of this sunburned girl today.
Disney flicks from now on. Good plan.

That cover is amazingly good! To be honest, I... uh, didn't so much "enjoy" DD when I saw it... but I remember thanking it profusely for introducing me to that version of the song.
