Mad World

The first song in my new photo challenge was "Mad World" by Tears for Fears. For the photo I was thinking something from the everyday world, twisted slightly. My first thought was a busy street with a slow shutter speed. But the only place I could think to find that was Rochester and we didn't make it there until yesterday. And there weren't enough people out and about to make it work, I'm blaming Hurricane Irene, it was really windy. So I did a house in the suburbs from the car at 30 mph. Then I upped the saturation to give it that '80s pop feel.

Run in Circles

"Mad World" by Tears for Fears

All around me are familiar faces

Worn out places, worn out faces

Bright and early for their daily races

Going nowhere, going nowhere

And their tears are filling up their glasses

No expression, no expression

Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow

No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny

I find it kind of sad

The dreams in which I'm dying

Are the best I've ever had

I find it hard to tell you

'Cos I find it hard to take

When people run in circles

It's a very, very

Mad World

Children waiting for the day they feel good

Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday

Made to 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 me
