Not sure if this is the right section to ask this in...

...but there's this comercial for a new video game called Gears Of War. They play this song in the background, kinda like Evanescence my Immortality style, very slow and morbid. Does anyone know if this is a real song by some band or if it's just something they made up for the commercial. If it's a real song, what's the name and artist?

its a real track. i was looking for that one as well. anyone have any idea? maybe go to the website. and check out the credits.

It's from the Donnie Darko soundtrack, the song is "Mad World" by Gary Jules.

It's funny because in the movie the song works perfectly to bring the whole story together, and in this commecial it works to define the isolation of the main character.

And by the way, the game is fucking amazing.

try #DJ on your cell phone and put it up to your TV.
Chances are likely it will ID it for you

I think #DJ is Fido only. I used it to ID a track that I didn't think it would find (it turned out to be Advanced), and I was hella happy when it did.
