Mad World

"It's the song that taught me grief and love are the same thing, really."

"It says the quiet, hard things out loud."

"It's the song I sing in the car when no one's watching."

"I want the room to go quiet and then feel something real."

"It's the song I'd choose if I could only ever choose one."

"I want whoever's left to know I was at peace."

"I want people to really listen to the words this time."

"It's the kind of song that makes you glad to have been here."

"I've loved this since the first time I heard it, and that hasn't changed."

"This song sat with me through the darkest stretch of my life."

"I want people to remember the sound of this, not the silence after."

"This is the sound of everything I couldn't say to the people I lost."

"It's the one song I'd trust to say goodbye for me."

"It just feels right. That's all the reason I need."

"There's no version of my story that doesn't include this song."

"This is, in a way, my closing statement."

"This song is, weirdly, the most 'me' thing I own."

"I want the room to go quiet and then feel something real."

"I want this to be a moment for whoever needs to grieve, properly."

"It's the one song that makes me feel truly alive."
