Mad World - Gary Jules
CBC’s As It Happens has a nice description of the aforementioned song:
There’s music you listen to under a comfy blanket, in your easy chair, with a cup of cocoa. And there’s music you listen to under that same blanket, by candlelight, with a glass of wine.
And then there’s music you listen to after the candle has long sputtered out, under a threadbare blanket, lying on the floor, whispering, “Why? WHY?” And that’s the kind of music you’re listening to right now.

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What’s up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don’t think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!
