I love Tears For Fears - and Roland Orzabal - soo, so much. Was completely obsessed at one time. Roland's voice is one of my all-time favorites. Watched a documentary about a tour of theirs, and damned, he can belt - did an impressive opera style bassoon roar of a voice in a warmup. :)
This is one of my favorite songs. So happy you liked it too. Please check out their songs/videos "Sowing the Seeds of Love" and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World."
I have been in love with this band forever. There are no bad TFF songs. 💕 Roland has been my obsession for years. Please do more TFF, I suggest doing "Bad Man's Song" next. And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, in walks Oleta Adams.
My favorite band along with the Bee Gees. They just don't miss. Oh please do a dive into Tears For Fears. There is so much more to them. Definitely do "Woman in Chains" and I also recommend "Pale Shelter".
I can’t believe you haven’t heard this one before! It’s still played on radio stations here. It’s the kind of song you hear in a grocery store. You will really hear the Beatles influence on Seeds of Love. A great song for certain!
Hands down m favorite Tears For Fears song. Loved it from the day I first heard it way back in 1985 and love it still just as much to this day. Epic, beautiful, perfectly crafted pop masterpiece. I especially love the portion in the video when Roland sings the “Four Leaf Clover” line and holds his hand up showing 4 fingers. God, I loved the 80s British groups and artists when I was a college student during that time here in the US and was so impacted and at times overwhelmed with the amount of new sounding, fresh, exciting new sounds which came over from the UK during that second British Invasion of the 80s. Still listening to it today and with just as much joy. Harri, not sure which other Tears For Fears songs you’ve previously reacted to, but, there were 2 other smash hits from the album this song came from, “Everybody Wants To Rule The World” and “Shout” which are spectacular pieces of pop heaven if you have not reacted to either yet. And their album prior to “Songs From The Big Chair” entitled “The Hurting” has some awesome songs which are more early new wave synthpop sounding but no less impressive in my opinion. “Change”, “Pale Shelter” and my fave “Mad World” would be worth your time. One last suggestion, “Temptation” by Heaven 17. That song was not a hit here in the US but I happened to hear it here in the states on the college radio station I used to listen to and it blew me away and still does to this day. It was a big hit in the UK so you may be familiar with it already. Thanks!
These guys are even better live. There's a full concert called going back to California on youtube. Worth checking out. I think the 1st song after the piano opening is this very same song.
Classic! Such a Brilliant Song. You've Gotta Check Out their New Songs, from their Forthcoming Album, Tipping Point. The first is the Title Track, which is Amazing, followed by No Small Thing, another Killer Tune. This is their First Album in 17 years, but it sounds like they've never stopped. I think You'll enjoy them.
Great reaction Harri.I love this song and the video. This is my 🍀. I’m with you I love this song from the very first time I heard it and still love it now.😀👍❤️✌️🌼
Well Done Harri. Thanks for the tiny pause and did yu notice that The Librarian was giving him his Tea 40 years later :) I have already given you your TFF list :) on that other "Everybody Wants To Rule The World " video. "Woman In Chains"/"Pale Shelter" /" Sowing The Seeds Of Love (like The Beatles) and my favourite with the beautiful accompanying video of that Latino Wedding..." Advice For The Young At Heart" ENJOY :)
I Love this,what a brilliant and honest response and feeling for a beautiful song,Diamonds inside my ears! what a wonderfully poetic and heartfelt thing to say! i just subscribed!
Hey you're back in the pink! Since you love the Beatles so much (as who doesn't) you need to check out TFF's Sowing the Seeds of Love. Something of a tribute to the Beatles and it shows.
Harri - they released a new album in 2022 that is absolutely brilliant! Play any cut you like, there is not a bad song on this album! It rivals Songs from the Big Chair!
my dude, you must hear the TFF song "Woman In Chains" with the great gospel singer Oleta Adams ..... they brought her into the mainstream ..... also watch some live performances of that song ..... the song is very unique .... your mind will be blown
This is one of my favorite Tears for Fears songs (and as a former public library worker, I can relate to the librarian in this music video LOL!). Another great song I suggest you react to is 'Sowing the Seeds of Love.'
@@HarriBestReactions because many of us are nearsighted from years of obsessively reading books (I had my first pair of glasses by the time I was in third grade). :)
@@HarriBestReactions I was a librarian for 12 years and had my fair share of...shall we say, 'interesting' patrons, including some creepy guys. At least in this video, Roland Orzabal seems intellectual, earnest, and endearingly nerdy. Anyone who sets a music video in a library automatically wins points from me, and beyond that, it's a great song. One of the best of the 80s imo.
I’m enjoying the channel, and your vibe. I might kindly suggest that you include the small detail of whether you’re familiar with the song before starting the reaction. It’s a an indescribable thrill ride when we get to re-discover a song for the first time with another fellow human being. Thank you.
I remember when all I knew were Everybody Wants to Rule the World and Shout and this song would come up in suggested and I'd never listen to it... bloody hell was I missing out.
Love you vids Harri,, thank you. I think you'll feel the sublime soul of the overlooked masterpiece from The Big Chair 'The Working Hour' if you've not already :)
