Mad World

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I named this Mad World because if you listen to "Mad World" it fits the mood almost perfectly. I wanted the IMPACT the song had on Gears of War and how much it reflects on the game's story. Another huge Impact it has is on Dom's character "in my opinion" Its to much to explain but if you the lyrics to the song and know Dom's character/role you will see what I mean. A few examples of what I mean by this is "All around me are familiar faces"(The C.O.G members) "Worn out places" City is destroyed /so is the world getting destroyed) "Worn out faces" dead loved one's/ his wife Maria) "Bright and early for their daily races" Inside the window its early outside) "Going nowhere" Outside the window the day is being destroyed resulting in no tomorrow) "No expression" (With the battle going on all warriors fight with no expression they are just all killing each other without thinking)
"Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow No tomorrow" (Dom wants his wife to be by his side so he can live happily but she is gone and he wants nothing but to be with her so he is thinking about sacrificing himself to help his brothers and join his wife once again and forever) " And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had"
(Same thing as last,Dom dreams of dying to join his wife) " I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very, very Mad World" ( Dom is beginning to believe that all they are doing is running in circles because its all going to be a never ending cycle of war, so he is just giving up)

I wanted to capture that spirit all the commercials had when Dom was always zoned out thinking about his lost wife Maria. I think this shows that in a very unique way. An as you can already tell just outside of Dom's zone/head all HELL has broken loose in the final hour of the 8 year war. I wanted to make Dom Blind to reality so inside the window i made it peaceful but not only that I made the elements inside the window reflect whats outside of it.While everyone else was doing battle Marcus and Cole stand by Dom's side to protect him and they are also waiting for the right moment to attack the locust.Last I figured what better way to have a "SOUL-SHATTERING SPIRIT" of Gears of War pic then to include many of the elements the game has offered to us, so I made a list.....
