Tears for Fears has some amazing songs. Of course songs like Everybody wants to rule the world and Shout. But other incredible offerings include The Working Hour, I believe, Pale Shelter, Woman in chains, and from their latest album, The tipping point.
Tears For Fears were possibly the best group to come out of the 80's. I saw them live in concert back then and the show was amazing. Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal were a perfect blend of talents that created a signature sound of that era. Their album Songs From The Big Chair was a massive hit and went platinum almost in an instant. As with most musical groups, Curt and Roland grew apart for a long period of time, until they reunited last year, and I saw them again after almost 40 years, and they sounded just as good as they did then. They're doing a 2023 US tour. You should react to more of their songs.
This one and Sowing the Seeds of Love are my favorite Tears for Fears songs, but of course they have a bunch of other iconic songs Great feeling bringing me back to the 80s.
Think you'd like "Everybody wants to rule the world" by Tears for Fears. Their sound was very popular with people who liked many different types of music. Unique...
Some Tears for Fears songs that you should check out include the following: Break It Down Again, Closest Thing to Heaven, Ladybird, and Sowing the Seeds of Love.
This the most underrated band of the 80s. That was probably their 7th best song. Try Woman in Chains, Everybody Wants to Rule the World, Shout, Mother’s Talk, Seeds of Love, Break It Down Again (especially the first & last one). Fenom knows. Let’s do another one!
The guy with the Nationals hat knows what up TFF catalog of music is astonishing, I listen every type of music and if you've never heard of them is crazy lol once you hear more songs you'll probably recognize them more and they just put out a new record last year in February!
My Favorite song by them is Sowing the Seeds of Love!! There are several "change ups" in this song! When you think its going one way it turns and goes another way. A Banger!! 👍🏿
Truly loving your TFF reactions ! They were my fave band as a kid and I still enjoy them today. Felt like I was the only person still listening to them so I’m glad to find more folks my age who still enjoy them!! My fave artist today is also from the UK, have you listened to Little Simz? She’s a lyrical mastermind with majestuous instrumentation. Her song Introvert is an undeniable masterpiece 💎
Just found your Channel and what a great Reaction guys! This Song is more of their "Pop" sound that came later on in the 80s. I discovered Tears for Fears before this when they were more New Wave & their earlier material was more dark with Songs like "Mother's Talk" "Pale Shelter" and "Mad World".
You older gentleman might remember the melody was used by Cash Money & Marvelous at the beginning of “Ugly People Be Quiet”. Another great one by Tears For Fears is “Sowing The Seeds”.
🎶Nice reaction . . . I saw Tears for Fears live a few years back. Even though they were older they performed and sang like it was the 1980s . . . they are some dedicated and talented musicians. looking forward to more of your reactions to them🎶
Rolsnd (the main singer in this one) and curt were school friends in the city of bath south England.Would love you to do mad world it was covered and that version was used in movie Donnie darko
Gary Jules did a beautiful cover of TFF’s Mad World in 2001, which went to #1 in England. Other artists like Kanye West have used parts of their songs. They are a highly respected band. From their first album, I’d recommend reactions to Mad World and Pale Shelter. And from their third, Sewing the Seeds and Woman in Chains. After Curt left, Roland continued with TFF and released two fantastic albums on his own. They reunited in 2004 and put out Everybody Loves a Happy Ending. Check out Secret World. In 2021, they released The Tipping Point, which is phenomenal!
This is the shortened version - the Album version has a cool extended solo at the end. PS - the dude in the beginning wasn't Amish - he has a Hasidic Jew
I was in my early 20's back in the late 70's and 80's and it was good times, upbeat feel-good music, everybody was dancing, etc. Like the Chic song "Good Times". Even when the economy wasn’t doing well people we upbeat.
Once upon a time, MTV played music videos. European bands were ahead of the curve & had already begun making videos which led to The Second British Invasion. Loads of synth Pop.
