"This Is Christmas," Curt Smith (Kook)

Curt was half of the popular 80s act Tears For Fears, and this is a 2010 solo single, a stately ballad in which the child-sung chorus is at least mixed down and comprised only of kids who can actually sing in tune. The kid-singing part is actually appropriate to the lyrics, which are about being made to feel juvenile when coming home for Christmas. Not much from his hit-making days in this recording, but a good change of pace on the old mix discs.
