The success of the DVD distribution convinced them to publish it as a single a few years later, in 2003. Here was the mellifluous melody of the piano, which transformed the energy of the original song into a touching, almost hypnotic harmony. When few tools are available, the genius often comes out. It’s in fact a known theory in the artistic field: having available infinite resources doesn’t help the artist, rather it condemns it to a productive process without real control, with real impact on creativity. The creative limits as real success factors of a work. The choice fell on Mad World, Reinterpreted in an ethereal version, with a transparent texture. And Andrews had an ace in his hand: he would have added a a song to the full-instrumental soundtrack, and the Tears for Fears were one of his great youth passions.

The overall result was very well done, delicate and strong at the same time. Even the singers involved were artists with whom he had already worked, invited by him to participate.

Even for the soundtrack, of course, the costs had to be low and Andrews had to learn the art of cheap problem solving: for the entire soundtrack he played all the instruments, piano, keyboards, percussion, everything except the guitars, a veto imposed by the director Richard Kelly. Film born with very low budget, which didn’t have huge success at the theatres but acquired the aura of a cult afterwards, when internet decides to shoot dozens of new age stories to explain the plot. Yet, the new generation knows this song more for a cover made in 2001, made by composer Michael Andrews and sung by Gary Jules, within the soundtrack of one of the most particular films of the 2000s: Donnie Darko.
