Mad World performed by Curt Smith of Tears For Fears 

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.

Wow! Beautiful!!!

A child that can laugh and play music with a parent is a blessing.

Her harmonizing tho. It sends shivers down my spine. It needn't be better.

This is how children become good people. Good parenting.

Imagine the moment when you find out your dad was responsible for some of the best and most popular music of the 1980s . . .

My ex boyfriend used to play this song on piano and guitar, he passed away in July. 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

I can't stop playing this. It's the best thing I've heard in 2024.

I'm a 50 year old man, father of a daughter, sitting here with tears in my eyes. This is the most beautiful thing I've heard in a long time. Curt, Diva, your music has caused me to pause and reflect in this confusing, frightening time. Thank you. THANK YOU!

What more a father would want than see his daughter playing with him one of his songs? This is happiness!

If you sit together with your daughter playing this song, the world can't be that mad.

She looks just like her dad and is brilliant singing with him in this classic tune.

You should add "and his daughter Diva" in the title. The girl totally earned it.

No one harmonizes better than family members. They have that semblance implanted in their voices. This was a prime example - beautiful, natural harmony. Bravo!

Daughter was spot on with her playing, harmonies and charisma, way to pay it forward Curt

I was probably his daughter’s age when I first heard this song. Now I’m 55 years old. Always a TFF fan. Beautiful harmony!!

The father and daughter’s voice just fit so perfectly

One day she will look upon this moment and treasure it.

Imagine if your dad had wrote one of the most iconic songs of the last 40 years and you are good enough to put a beautiful slant on it! Hats off, great version

I find myself returning to this song once again. The beauty of he and his daughter playing this....I remember the song new, as a old man now and a grandfather, to see this, simply beautiful

For anyone who has a daughter (I do), this is as heartwarming as it can be. Good fathers make great daughters.

I always thought that hearing 60,000 people at a concert singing your song back to you would be the ultimate experience. Turns out harmonizing with your daughter on a song you wrote is much more fulfilling.

Something about him singing this sad song with his own child makes it so much more powerful. Struggling with the emotion here. Just beautiful.

Curt Smith is a genius and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree when it comes to Diva. Amazing.

Honestly the way she is coming in with her vocal parts really makes it feels really special, it's like a slow volume rise into a beautiful harmony.

when she came in with the perfect harmony i couldn't click thumbs up quick enough.

Curt’s daughter’s harmonies combine beautifully. He must be very proud of her and she of him.

Doesn’t matter if Curt is performing with a full TFF band in front of thousands or just sitting and strumming with his daughter, he still gives it his all. Beautiful!

I think that’s the sign of a truly great song, when it can be stripped down to very basic instrumentation like this and still sound utterly magnificent.

Priceless memory between a father and his daughter.

There’s nothing like the vocal harmonies of blood. It sounds so good when it’s family.

This Man is enjoying every moment he can with his daughter - and some day this will be a moment frozen in time when she remembers him.

Great performance. Curt's daughter was spot on with her playing and harmonies. I bet Curt was a very proud dad in that moment!

It really is a Mad World, but listening to this makes it all better.

When her voice kicked in, I got goosebumps. Beautiful.

As decades roll by, I realize more and more what an extraordinary album "Songs from The Big Chair" is. Tears for Fears is so fresh and brilliant -- nothing else quite like them came again.

My heart swells knowing the joy of a parent & child connecting like this

This is beautiful. And on a weird side note, I have always wanted a father who would spend time doing this type of thing with me. I’m glad relationships like this exist between fathers and daughters. 🥰

Tears for Fears were extremely underrated, perhaps too easily overlooked. Their content was not fluff like pop music is today. We need to revisit their stuff intently just like this.

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

His daughter absolutely killed it and her guitar is gorgeous.

I love this and love to see the love and relaxed confidence of his daughter. Thank you!

It’s a hauntingly beautiful song! They sound amazing together! 😊

Over a year later and Im still watching this and it still puts a big smile on my face. Its is simply beautiful.

It's fantastic to see these artist playing with their children.

When this song came out in Australia, Curt was 21, now he is now 58 (same as me) and his beautiful daughter is now 21. Nice synergy. Haunting rendition. Well done. This one is a keeper.😊

Its so amazing to see Curt singing a song with his daughter..... I really loved back in 85....and its still a mad world....

i find it hard to tell you 'cause i find it hard to take when people thumb down this video, it's a very, very mad world

Isn't this just an amazing father / daughter moment? Fantastic.

My father taught me guitar when I was a child in the 1960s. This means so much to me. My father is gone, but his spirit lives on. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

2024 still listening....

That girl when she blends in in close harmony. She got a golden voice with an ability to play guitar. vary rare! Both did an excellent job!!!

Absolute living proof of the saying "less is more." Fabulous.

From the smile-inducing moment where Diva realises that she's blocking Curt's face with the head of her guitar, through the harmonic brilliance of their conjoined voices, and the fact that it's an awesome Dad-daughter moment, to the victory High-Five at the end, this makes me grin from ear to ear every time I watch it

If you walked into a room with 1,000 young women, you would immediately know that this was Kurt's daughter.

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!

That is just the coolest thing ever. Dad and daughter doing a chill combo.

Her vocals are absolutely brilliant

Harmonizing with your daughter on a beautiful song that is beloved by millions must be a great feeling.

This is how I imagined parenthood would be. It wasn't

It's insane to think that while this song was played over and over again she wasn't even alive. She just wasn't here. Her consciousness didn't exist... And when we're gone she will do the living. New possibilities, new anxieties, new moments of happiness, and we'll simply not be there. We were just passengers, we happened to be on the same train for a couple of stops and then... good-bye. That's crazy

This is gorgeous sounding. Warms the heart to see father and daughter moments like this...

Oh Curt this is amazing. You were not only a world class singer but now I see an ideal dad in you. Hats off buddy. Stay blessed. Love to the children. Thank you for giving us a beautiful 80’s.

The daughter must be so proud to have a father who actually WROTE such a profound song

The chemistry here is rarely seen in music, but when it happens, it is heavenly.

You know when people say "I don't know who needed to hear this but".. Me. I needed to hear this. One of my favorite songs of all time done beautifully. Made my week.

30+ years and this song is going strong. It transcends generations and genres. And a father/daughter rendition to hammer home how wonderful it is. Beautiful.

I love the song. But the best thing i love here is to see the father and the daughter smile at each other, in deep profound understanding. That connection is worth a lot!

When her voice comes in, this song take on new meaning. This has always been one of my favorite songs, and this confirmed it.

When she added her voice, it was SO much richer and sweeter.

Who didn't have a mad crush on Curt Smith growing up in the 80's? I love seeing him with such a lovely family.

Brilliant harmonies especially “ sad “and “had”, that acoustic base and of course that Curt is doing a duet of his original song with his daughter.

suddenly having a daughter seems like something I would like...

This may be the greatest version of this song I’ve ever heard. She nearly broke the old mans hand.

What a beautiful gift to spend TIME w/your daughter & sing w/her!! Such a special experience you two shared. AND THEN...., shared w/the world! Thank you! 😘😘😘

Who in their right mind would give this a thumbs down? This is fantastic!

This is so appropriate for the times. His daughter has a beautiful singing voice. She surely inherited is musical gens Just wonderful

Fathers and daughters. This mad world needs more of this positivity! Thank you, Curt Smith! :-)

Watching this, somehow gets me emotional!...

Such a great song, but a greater moment to cherish between father and daughter during this time of madness.

I literally got chills when her harmony vocal came in. Gorgeous.

Kurt's daughter could melt hearts with that smile. And she can sing and play. They tap into the depression of this song too. Really enjoyed this.

This is a beautiful classic Kodak moment with Father and daughter. Cherish every moment.I lost my dad 5 yrs ago and miss him dearly, but I know I'll see him again. John 5:28, 29. ❤ He had great taste in music. 😊

They should put out an entire record together. This was wonderful.

She has her dad's energy! Beautiful young lady she is clearly is a shining star!

Gosh, she looks a lot like him! So talented! He must be so proud.

This is lovely to see Curt Smith performing one of the most greatest Tears For Fears songs either his own daughter. So sweet and lovely to see. She sings beautifully, just like her old man 😊. What a lovely video.

Me: “oh that’ll be some girl he’s teaching” double take “ok she can play..” “Holy Shit that harmony!!!” That was amazing

Simply fantastic! I found plaing with his own doughter Is the best thing that can happen to a father. Lovely song. (Sorry for my english, I'm an italian, guitar player, father)

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.

Very cool! I met Curt Smith when I worked as a waitress at a night club in Omaha, Nebraska and Tears for Fears played there. It was truly an honor getting to sit and talk with him. Very respectable man. Talked about his family and living in Bath England. So very cool to see this video!!! You have that talent Diva!! Stay with it!

Who else was hoping that she was going to sing the second verse?

the proof that talent can be inherited, goosebumps on "sad" and "had".

Wow such great harmonies and from father to daughter a legacy continues. Tears for fears when growing up all I wanted was Curt’s braids but sadly not allowed back then

When she started singing I started to cry.

Makes me think about how much I love my daughter.

You can hear the biological connection between Curt and his daughter. The harmony was just beautiful! Looks like the budding of a new star in the family. I love it...

Thanks for the beauty of the lyrics , as truth is regulated from generation to generations; the coupling of both voices was central to my ear’s excellent playing . Thanks for sharing both your talents .

I assumed she was a hired session pro. She has serious chops and vocals. His daughter? Wow, bravo

That’s really neat. I bet she’s been singing with him her whole life.
