Mad World Keyboard Practice Full
Finally, over a year since my last practicing video I’ve got myself a new full-sized keyboard, the M-Audio KeyStation 88es, and can finally finish learning Mad World.
If you wanna know how I learned to play this, check out the Piano Tutorials playlist on my YouTube channel. Also subscribe if you want to see how I do on the other pieces I’m about to start practicing on and how I progress as a non-note-reading bastard :)
Mad World Keyboard Practice
Looking for the lyrics or piano sheets for the song? Go here
Couple of days ago I found a video on YouTube teaching you how to do Mad World, just so happening to be the music from one of my top three favorite movies of all time.
Yesterday I started practicing and little by little I’m improving. What you see in this video is all by memory. Unfortunatly I can’t play any more cause my keyboard controller is only 24 tangents so I hit the end of the keyboard and can’t go any further when I’m halfway in the song.
Fortunatly however, a friend of mine is selling a 49 tangents keyboard controller so I’m thinking about buying it for now cause he’s giving me a good price on it, especially compared to what these things cost brand new and even used.
Anyways. I’m also trying to learn to read notes cause I can’t rely on videos for every song I wanna play 
I’ve started using this program called Teach Me Piano Deluxe and supposedly when I’m done with it I’ll be able to read notes and play the piano/keyboard like a pro ^^

Hello teacher, tell me what’s my lesson
Hi there everybody coming from Google in the search for the lyrics/piano sheets for this song called “Mad World”, made famous through the movie Donnie Darko and later the Gears of War TV commercial.
You can get the piano sheets here
Here’s the lyrics:
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrowAnd I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I’m dying
Are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It’s a very, very …
Mad world … Mad worldChildren waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And they feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
Look right through me, look right through meAnd I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I’m dying
Are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It’s a very, very …
Mad world … Mad world …
Enlargen your world …
Mad world.
Finally after all these years I have a keyboard yet again. You see I used to play alot before on this old keyboard I got from my uncle. Not that I had any skills or anything. I would listen to music and then try to repeat it, without knowing any chords or whatever, and after a while I would be able to play that music from memory. Oh yes, good times.
After I got a decent computer it didn’t take me long to discover programs like Fruityloops, Reason, Cubase and so on. Only problem was when I fiddled with those I never got that “experimental” feeling I used to have before, untill now! I’ve decided, after talking to some musical friends of mine that knows this s**t in and out, that I’ll try to learn myself Reason.
Now, this may not be much, but I’m kinda proud of what I managed to compile as a result of messing around with Reason for something like 5 hours 
I present to you, the very first “official” piece of music created by yours truly. I calls it “Whine” cause it sounds like the music is sad. Probably a more professional term for it, music-wise, but here you go anyways
