Curt Smith And His Daughter Made A Stunning Acoustic Rendition Of “Mad World”
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic brought a wave of challenges worldwide. Beyond the health concerns, lockdowns confined people to their homes for months, disrupting daily routines. While this situation brought negatives, it also offered new perspectives on life that turned into positives in various ways.
Amidst the difficulties, the pandemic highlighted the importance of connecting with loved ones. Forced into close quarters with family and friends, people gained a newfound appreciation for their relationships. This sentiment is beautifully captured in Tears For Fears bassist Curt Smith’s touching cover of their classic hit, “Mad World,” performed alongside his daughter.
In this breathtaking acoustic version of their biggest hit, Curt Smith took the lead vocals while skillfully playing an impressive acoustic bass. Joining him was his daughter, Diva, strumming away on an acoustic guitar and matching her father’s beautiful melodies with her equally impressive voice. The collaboration between father and daughter in this rendition added a layer of warmth and emotion that, in many ways, surpassed the impact of the original hit.
This heartwarming duet found its way to YouTube, quickly capturing the internet’s attention and going viral. With over 10 million views and a flood of positive comments, it’s remarkable how this father-daughter performance touched the hearts of many, even resonating with single fathers who found a special connection in watching this moving duet.
A man wrote, “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.”
Another viewer also commented, “One word to describe this. Beautiful. To be able to play with your child and hear them sing truly is a blessing. There’s nothing I’d want more in this world than something these two have. Keep it up you two.”
