To me, as a blue's/ Rock fan and normally not liking "pop" songs, this is more than that. It was pretty complex and had a message too. One of my all time favorites. And I'm more a Blue's/ Rock guys. Perfect song for the mud 80s. Not techno but real music.

This song is about the quest for power, and how it can have unfortunate consequences.

Also, "Sowing the Seeds" of love is a masterful Beatlesque homage.

Oh my god I was listening to this song just last week and thought “Lex would enjoy this groove.” And she did! So funny. And a lot of the video shows the singer driving in a convertible, like on a road trip. She called it! You’ve probably heard this in grocery stores and drugstores, it gets played a lot. If you’re looking for more Tears For Fears, I think you’d really love the message and vibe of “Shout.” Probably their most famous song, and for good reason. Very catchy too!

@vinsgraphics 2 года назад

They split for a while then got back together. During the split, Roland Orzabal released a couple albums under the TFF name. “Elemental” is one of them… it’s a must-listen, start to finish. Another to consider is “Saturnine Martial & Lunatic,” a collection of B-sides and “leftovers”, worthy of its own place in their ‘official’ lineup.

Last song written for the album Songs from the Big Chair. This is the most popular album of Tears for Fears. Rekeased in 1985. Written by Chris Hughes, Ian Stanley and Roland Orzabal. IS played keyboards before he quit. CH was hired to produce the album. He was the drummer for Adam Ant. The song has a drum loop like Waterfront, written and performed by Simple Minds. CH played the loop and asked RO to play 2 guitar chords. This bored RO. IS played synthesizers throughout the song. RO wrote the lyrics. Curt Smith sang the lead vocals. This song was the 3rd one released. It became their most popular song! Suggested next TFF video: Break It Down Again. 🇬🇧 Influence. Glass Tiger singer Alan Frew said that this song inspired their hit Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone. 🇨🇦 Suggested video Glass Tiger. Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone.
