@@normandavidtidiman9918 ELO was a fantastic band. I have no idea what you're trying to get at. John Lennon once said though that ELO is most likely what Beatles would have sounded like if they'd continued into the 70's.
Music like this is why I miss the 80's. I'm a metal head, but when I was growing up and a youngin', this was stuff I listened to. Still love Tears to this day.
The cool thing about this band is that both men are amazing lead singers. They met when they were in high school through a mutual friend. They have a lot of great songs and they still perform in concert today (and still sound amazing). I would recommend checking out 'Head Over Heels', 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World' and 'Shout.' Or, if you want a deeper track, The Working Hour.'
Those are nice hits with cool beats but I think this is their masterpiece. Of course it’s all personal preference but the depth of this including the sgt pepper’s homage is just over the top genius.
Tears For Fears!! No you’re in my absolute favorite decade of music. Tears for Fears is a great group. Next you should do Everybody Wants to Rule the World, Woman in Chains, Shout, Mad World. Stay in the 80s for a while and you can’t go wrong.
I love this song by Tears for Fears! It's really deep and spiritual, as shown by the amazing mystical symbolism in the video. Sowing seeds of Christ love. Symbolized by the Sun figure! Namaste! 🙂🌻💛🙏
altho it sounds upbeat this was actually a protest song against the conservative government in the UK at the time. "politician granny with your high ideals you don't know how the majority feels" was a reference to margaret thatcher the prime minister at the time
The song is a throwback to '60s nostalgia (big in the late '80s) with a nod to The Beatles and a kind of Flower Power philosophy to it, including political lyrics starting with "High time we made a stand and shook up the views of the common man" and ending with "An end to need and the politics of greed." Written by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, the lyrics in this song are a byproduct of Orzabal's interest in psychology and philosophy - he cites Sartre's Les Mains Sales and Arthur Janov's Primal Scream as literary influences. The song is a call to action, asking us to reject the status quo: "High time we made a stand and shook up the views of the common man."
I totally grew up to this, I was only like 10yrs old or so when they came out, and I still love 80’s music today...since you are reacting to the 80’s era, let’s keep it in the 80’s and react to the band (INXS) song (Need you Tonight). Lead singer ended up taking his own life so the band was short lived but they were big then and a very good band live 🤘🏼
I always get good vibes from there music and are my no 1. They both sing lead on there songs. You want to listen to Woman in Chains with Oleta Adams who joined them. Fantastic voice she has.
HOLA, E SEGUIDO SUS PRIMERAS EXPERIENCIAS CON LA HERMOSA MÚSICA DE LOS 80s, LOS QUE VIVIMOS ÉSA ÉPOCA SOMOS AFORTUNADOS. SALUDOS HERMANO, HERMANA DESDE COSTA RICA. 😀👍
my best choice for absolute immersion into the fabric of great creations.. is Tears for Fears. Their music and message is second to none. They're subtle and delicious... xo
The whole song/video was inspired by the Beatles. They are such a great group. Please check out Head over Heals, Everybody want to rule the world, and Shout.
I just love love love this song! I’m still waiting to see if you would react to Madonna Papa don’t preach… I think it’s one of her best and the video‘s pretty good, too. You guys are awesome!
Song that gave the name to the TFF album in 89. I still remember me, a young teenager with the LP booklet, learning to sing the song in English, which is not my language, since I'm Brazilian. It was a difficult song to sing, I think the hardest on the album. Lots of nuances and speed. It's a lot of beauty.
You must READ THE LYRICS! It’s a political song about the small guy being squashed . My generation had something to say. This was baller band! And remember, in OUR DAY, people WROTE THEIR OWN SONGS, AND PLAYED INSTRUMENTS 🙏🏼💜💕
you two are a lot of fun :D ..this is one of my all time favorite songs - have listened to it thousands of times, but this was something new: getting to watch you enjoy it for the first time.. awesome!
Their album Songs From The Big Chair is a wall to wall classic. All killer and no filler. You definitely need to react to Mad World, Everybody Wants To Rule The World, Shout, Head Over Heels and Woman In Chains.
Greetings from the UK, Tears For Fears are awesome, Woman In Chains next please, or Badman's Song, TFF really go to church on that one. Roland is the main singer, but Curt sings on a lot of the earlier singles. Advice For The Young At Heart with Curt on lead vocal is awesome too. Keep up the good work.
THIS song... Such an eargasm to me with all the instruments and their vocals. This song and video are stunning. You were so moved but stopped to watch the video cuz it was so intriguing. Tears are a great band. My favorite 80’s song is Head Over Heels (right after Crowded House Don’t Dream It’s Over.) Definitely Check those out. The Head Over Heels video is distracting though. I’d rather just listen.
this entire album is simply fantastic (It’s pure 80’s with HQ Beatles production (The entire album is a roller coaster of sound & music) Highly recommend anyone who loves all music check out Women in Chains really overlooked deep song by Tears for Fears
Also, they have a song called, HEAD OVER HEALS that is another great hit! TFF are a great 1980's British group that made a big splash during the 80's BRIT MUSIC INVASION! I am a huge fan of theirs!
I love you guys!!!! Haha my wife and I watch you allll the time. We watch you and the Belllife, you guys should check those guys out they are awesome. May I request a song???
This song was very much influenced by the Beatles in sound and lyrics...react to the Beatles ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE...was broadcasted around the world in 1966 via the first satellite...was very exciting everyone watching it at the same time around the world
think heavily influenced by the Beatles psychedelic Love In period. Tears for Fears pastiche them in a fun, modern way with a serious twist, the environment and Mother Earth. Great track.
