Not that Bath is very mad – I should have called it “Bourgeois World!”.
Orzabal spoke about the song, stating: “That came when I lived above a pizza restaurant in Bath and I could look out onto the centre of the city.
The track was originally written on an acoustic guitar, after Orzabal was inspired to write a new wave song after Duran Duran’s “Girls on Film”, as well as being inspired by the theories of American psychotherapist Arthur Janov, and his lyric “the dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had”. “Mad World” marked Tears For Fears first international success, with the song charting outside of the UK. The track was written by member Roland Orzabal, with production done by Tears for Fears producer Chris Hughes, and record producer Ross Cullum. “Mad World” was the 1982 hit single from British duo Tears For Fears, appearing as the second track on their debut studio album “The Hurting”.
