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.

1974 checking in. In 1982 we were the kids. In 2020 we are the parents. "Hello Teacher tell me what's my lesson - looked right through me" takes on a whole new double meaning when you become the teacher. I don't know if Curt Smith realized this song would become a THEME song for our generation when he first wrote it.
