What's the song from Donnie Darko?

[Oi Scout]

The one during the credits?

Something like:

And I find it kind of funny, and it's kind of sad.
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had.


It's not the sort of thing I usually like, but someone played it in work today and it struck a chord with me.

Thanks

mad world by michael andrews feat. gary jules

eurgh, i fucking hate that song

wasn't it the xmas number no1 some time?

[LeoZ]

It's not by Michael Andrews, he just did a lame cover version. It's by Roland Orzabal.

Although the one in the film is the gloomy xmas number 1 cover version. I think. Been a while since I saw it.

I was about to point out that the song will have been in the credits of the movie, but then I realised that there will also have been other songs in there and there's no guarantee you could have known which one was the one you wanted.

Does anyone else think there should be a site that tells you what songs were in what movies?

[Oi Scout]

Cheers guys, and I agree with allfalldown

the version in the movie is the michael andrews feat gary jules version just like i said. it was xmas no. 1 in 2003

imdb.com has a lot of info about movies including soundtracks it doesnt give samples of the soundtracks but if you just put the album soundtrack into amazon or iTunes or something and you can prob get a sample of it

[LeoZ]

yeah but you said it was by him. Just me being pedantic, but I hate it when people get false credit.

[Oi Scout]

I've listened to the song like twice now since you told me what it was and I'm already bored of it

[allfalldown]

best song in donnie darko is the killing moon by echo and the bunnymen right at the beginning of the movie

[Tweekish]

I like the song played when Donnie gets out the back of the schoolbus and walks through the school hall. I have no idea who its by though.

Also, it is by Michael Andrews Feat. Gary Jules. Not Gary Jules on his own, and not Orzalazalzzaalaalazzlalbal. Music is credited more to the performer than the writer.

It's not got everything, but giving it a look never hurts.

[gruff]

Has anyone pointed out the fact that there's already a thread for this?
