Jules, Gary - Broke Window Lyrics

He sounds so much like Cat Stevens and in some parts like Simon and Garfunkel. In this song The boxer is the song that came to my mind.

@betweenthedayband - - reading your comment makes me say "ouch." Thoust doth try a bit too hard.

Meh. Closed my eyes and could have been listening to Paul Simon 50 yrs ago. Instrumentals are great though.

Thank you :D

This is about to spike in popularity...

I wish I was here to see that happen ;D

It kind of strikes me as funny that people often say about Gary Jules that he should be more famous. I think the man is famous enough for him to be at ease with. Real artists ideally shouldn't be interested in fame. The reason being that fame isn't the equivalent of quality. Fame is more intertwined with selling quantities and that is nothing more than commercialism. Which in an artist point of view should only be a waste of time. To exceed or find/develop quality within yourself is mostly an individual process that is experienced best by the artist himself. To extend these efforts to the world is not in any way helping the artistic process. Also as other people get involved you will notice that one way or the other your artist freedom can get compromised. The way to not let that happen to you is to decline the offer. And you'll be amazed at how many real artist aren't famous for this very reason. If you like music you don't listen to radio. You explore the corners of youtube. That's where you stumble upon the real gems. It wouldn't surprise me if Gary declined every big offer he got after Mad World. He IS a real artist.

I'm sure as an artist selling massive quantities is wide recognition of your art, so will therefore be quite fulfilling. As long as you don't compromise what you want to do, recognition and fame will come with a quality product and it doesn't make you any less of an artist. Of course, you can turn down the opportunity for excessive wealth, fame and (if you're good) respect but I don't think many musicians would. Most musicians want their music to be heard and loved, and there's nothing wrong with that, even if it means condemnation from the hipsters...

Point to me a great artist that did what he did out of recognition. I think it'll be quite an effort.

He had one hit and this was his tears for fears cover. With his own music he would have never made it.

OMG!!! Do you hear that? This voice, I think I'm in love right now! His voice is amazing! I don't know what you've done with me but i could listen only you! He's so talented Guy! wow

gotta thank zach braff for showing this song!

is anyone else air guitaring ?

Mr Scrubs made me come here

Only ever heard mad world till now... wow what ive missed.

hes so talented he needs more recognition

This guy's voice, for some reason, makes me think of jumping off docks into lakes, wooden fences, long summer days, old greyscale photographs, and being a kid. I love it! It just gives me a particular feeling.
