I cam across this by accident, and was moved to tears by both the song and the performance.

The sheer drama of the performance is almost overwhelming because of its internal subtlety, its vulnerability, it's questioning, that somehow contains a sign of hope...a determination in a Mad World to survive.

If I were a young teen this clip would keep me going, and the comments on the end sustain that it does get better.

Call me naive if you want, but life without trust in the goodness of others would be intolerable.

Religious indoctrination: It gets better, without it.
