🥲 I cried at this

The Tears for Fears cover that Michael Andrews and Gary Jules stripped down to a piano, a voice, and the echoing ceiling of a suburban bedroom. Made a Tears for Fears song feel like an elegy.

Proof that you can turn a synth-pop single into a funeral by doing almost nothing. Forever tied to Donnie Darko.
