Mad World performed by Curt Smith of Tears For Fears

One of the songs that I played over and over again growing up was Mad World by @TearsForFearsOfficial. Hard to imagine a song that seems more relevant right now. I am so happy to share a new beautiful version by my dear friend Curt Smith of @TearsForFearsOfficial with his daughter Diva recorded for us from their quarantine life in LA.

    As a father to daughters, I love this. As a musician, I love this. As a Tears for Fears fan, I love this. As a person with ears connected to my brain with a beating heart, I love this.

    This song was always one of my favorite TFF songs from back in the day, even though it's strange and kind of disturbing. Cool to see Smith and his daughter performing it---he still sounds good, too.

    I hope some day you find a relationship like this. I have an amazing relationship with my daughter, I have also have had the opportunity to become good friends and mentor to young women who have interned at my company. I have been amazed by their talent and initiative. I had one woman, a young single mom, who made a point of returning months later to thank me for helping her learn the skills to get a dream job. In a long, old man sort of way, I'm saying there are some wonderful older people out there who are looking for those rewarding relationships as well. Sometimes you just have to slow down and give us a chance. It also wouldn't hurt if some of us boomers would stop being so judgemental. Best of luck.

For God sakes they have 19 million listeners on Spotify monthly. Elvis only have 17 million. Now go put on some headphones and discover some more bands that you can claim are underrated. There’s this really funny one named after a bug that many people I’ve heard of. Beetle men. Or something like that

When his mom and I were looking for a song to play at the funeral, she remembered this song.... we cried and decided that it wasn't appropriate for the funeral because his death was tragic. My 21st birthday was on sunday and as I was having my first drink with my family, this song came on in TGI fridays, such a strange place and timing, but it was Jake coming to say happy birthday through this song.... he knew i would hear him. Thank you so much for your music and me being able to hold this memory so fondly, i will always sing this song and one day I hope to learn to play it even though ive never played an instrument myself

    It is impossible to overlook how alike they look: the cheekbones, the eyes. Such a beautiful duet. Curt is one of the music greats and seems to be a wonderful person as well.

    When you know your dad is cooler than you. But, he secretly knows you are about to blow him away with your brilliance.

    All the great comments I just read through forgot to mention Diva's guitar playing and singing combination. She's very talented at both, the apple didn't fall far from the tree for sure!

    Food & Music are two things that seem to defy generational gaps. We raised our kids on 80's music and Tears for Fears has always been a favorite. Had the unique pleasure of taking the kids to see them play a few years ago... standout memory, just as I'm sure Curt feels about this duet.
