Spotify Landmark: Tears For Fears plays "Head Over Heels" 

audio engineer deserves an award

The sound engineering is incredible. I know they sound great but wow SO clean.

They are SO underrated. They sound amazing and this song gives me major feels.

Singing and playing that bassline at the same time is no small feat.

That mic sound quality. It feels like 80's. So awesome

When a band plays live and it sounds damn near like the studio version. 🔥👌🏼

Tears for Fears made the 80's one of the best eras of music.

They sound FANTASTIC!! Love Tears for Fears, have passed it on to my girls!! Now, this is real music!! Thanks Roland and Curt, you guys still have it!!!!!

One of the definitive band of the 80s. Still one of the best. This song is a staple on my playlist over the years.

Soo much talent even after all these years.... And such a timeless song...

Almost like listening to CD...what an amazing performance !

This is almost instep with the original version! They knocked it right out of the park!

God knows how this song takes me back to being 19 again and being in love for the first time. Just magical to know that the 1980's were the best for music. Love UK bands.

These songs came out when I was in college in the early 1980s. Every time I hear their music I'm transported back to those days. I see where I was and who I was with like it was yesterday, in my mind's eye. Thanks, Roland and Curt, for the indelible memories.

Tears For Fears are one of my all-time favorite bands. Saw them live in 1990 and it was the best concert I've ever been to.

I have to say, I used to hate this band, I was a metal head in the 80s but now I'm almost 50 and I have picked up a guitar and am a music hobbyist and a have a totally different understanding now ... just thought I should put that out there.

Watching this during lockdown and so lifted by it. What an incredible and faithful performance of a fantastic song. ‘Classic’ is a word bandied around a lot - but this earns it, right? What a job that drummer does - just nails the original part without adding anything flashier, because that’s all it needs. Same wondrous and minimal fills, just everything good. The whole thing is an absolute masterclass. :)

How do they hit those notes at their age? Impressive!

Sounds great live over 30 years on. Maintaining the integrity of their vocal ability these years later is pretty impressive.

Have been a fan of this song for 30+ years. Amazing live performance, I never fully appreciated how talented these guys are.

killer bassline

I Loved these guys in the eighties for sure , still do. My mom loved them also. We connected and watch these videos together over and over MTV was on at my house all the time. She's gone now almost two years. Every time I hear these guys I think of her and myself watching Tears for Fears videos

2018 and I'm still waiting for Roland to sing "time flies" at the end

i'm still waiting for the "time flies"

I love this band so much... totally some of the best music ever written and performed...

Amazing. It’s like being in the studio for a rehearsal. They sing in person, just as the original cut.

A voz desse Orzabal é fenomenal

Roland's voice still strong as ever!

I had a break up with a girl back in 2002, and I listened to this song over and over.

Roland!!! You age like fine wine! Still the most handsome man I’ll ever lay my eyes on. Damn 😍😍😍😍😍

I always come back to this song and in particular, this performance. It is a good example of how a well orchestrated song comes together into a groove.

So Great...I Was 15 Years Old When This Song Was On Top, and I´m Still Listening!!!!!

Wow, the depth of this..percussion is INSANE. I always knew this music but wasn't familiar with the band: this is the magic of RU-vid..I watched the one guy play/sing with his lovely young daughter (who was also playing guitar)...and then the other guy is singing lead on this song.. and he's backing him up..I love when several people can sing lead in a band...this was super good. The way this is presented..I felt like I knew the band..twas FAMILY...that's magical.

I wanted to be with you alone And talk about the weather But traditions I can trace against the child in your face Won't escape my attention You keep your distance with a system of touch And gentle persuasion I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much? Oh, you're wasting my time You're just, just, just wasting time Something happens and I'm head over heels I never find out till I'm head over heels Something happens and I'm head over heels Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart Don't, don't, don't throw it away Throw it away Throw it away I made a fire and watching it burn Thought of your future With one foot in the past, now, just how long will it last? No, no, no, have you no ambition? My mother and my brothers used to breathe in clean in air And dreaming I'm a doctor It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand Oh, I feel so Something happens and I'm head over heels I never find out till I'm head over heels Something happens and I'm head over heels Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart Don't, don't, don't throw it away And this my four-leaf clover I'm on the line, one open mind This is my four-leaf clover in my head, my mind's eye (La, la, la, la, la) one little boy, wandering by (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la) funny how Time flies

This song brings back a vivid memory of one particular night in my life that was a changing point. These boys still have it after many years

Its stunning that they can reproduce this sound so many years later. Brilliant.

So crazy how good they sound, I honestly wish people my age would listen to this music instead of the basic commercialized sounds of celebrities that gain their fame through twitter and rivalry.

A wonderful tribute to the love affair of my life. That feeling of new love, that feeling of unrequited love, that questioning feeling, that ponderous feeling and overall acceptance of one's status quo. Love the song.

Good music when alone or with a group, so lucky we've grown up listening with their music... These songs spoke the language of our souls and our generation.👍🇵🇭✌️

Awesome sound quality!

It’s hard to overstate how great this performance is.

Still sounds amazing! Over 30 years later

What an amazing live performance!!! I am blown away by how good these guys keep sounding after all these years! Feel so lucky to have grown during the 80's listening to these jewels! Greetings from Costa Rica!

Now then kids this is what a great band sounds like !!!! Love it fellas 💥

'Studio quality' live performance! I wish more artists had this level of care.

One of my favorites in the 80's. Brings back memories. 😭

I hope the guys in the band are able to see this comment.... Don't ever stop creating music.... Almost 40 years of just incredible music and you guys still sound just like the 80s.... This is a trip through time.

I’m 41 so was too young when they came out, but to me they are the band of the 80s

I am sooo jealous of those 50 lucky fans who got to see this! Missed TFF in their heyday but have seen them 3 times in recent years. They are still amazing!!!!

talent, craftsmanship, humanity, elegance. All in one package. Bless you guys!

The vocals on this are absolutely perfect!

the musicianship in this composition (and performance) is astounding. every instrument including the vocals has the spotlight.

heard this song on donnie darko and cant stop listening

Brings me back to the 80s and these guys still have itI was into different music then I have huge respect for these guys now keep it up you sound great

They sound amazing! Songs from The Big Chair is a huge chunk of my youth. I wore that cassette out - kept me company to and from school on my long commute, listened to it at home, would fall asleep to it, too and so many years later, any song I hear from that album instantly transports me to that time in my life. 💕

Just close your eyes for a second while your listening to this... they’re still so tight!!!

Amazing loved them 30 years ago and still love them!

Spotify - you NAILED IT with this series ! thank you for this !

Walang kupas grabe parehas pa din ang tunog

Simply amazing! One of my favorite 80's songs and done so beautifully! I'm stunned

One of the best music ever

THIS IS CLASSIC !!!! IT brought tears to our eyes listening to them.......... They dont make songs like these anymore. WE LOVE YOU WE WILL KEEP WATCHING YOUR CONCERTS FOREVER !

These guys are still great! They sound really good.

you wouldn't believe its live it sounds so good ...I have seen them live a few times its always been that good...Amazing job boys

AWESOME!! Always loved your Sound!! Killer looking Drum kit!!

Love it. Love them. Just pure love!

one of fav songs ever from them thank you beautiful song

2021 - pandemic, divisiveness.... we need more Tears for Fears to bring us closer.

A voz do Roland é linda e Curt com seu baixo dá um show!!!! Amoooo.TFF pra sempre 💚💚💚

One of my all time favorite songs. It will never age. It will live forever.

So tight musically, truly great band. Love those songs

Then and now. They are just amazing. My all time favorite duo :)

Time Flies as the Universe expands, fabulous music for all time.

Absolutely stellar performance. As the years have gone by, I’ve become a huge Tears For Fears fan and this recording was truly amazing. Thanks so much for that.

Amazing! Such chemistry after all these years. One of my favorite songs and I’m glad Roland hit the “yeah” after that first keyboard riff👍🏼

they sound soooooo good

Always loved Tears For Fears. Rolands voice is perfect for what they do. I saw him and Kurt back in 79 when they were in a Ska band called 'Graduate' They were great even then!

Love these guys ❤ Saw them in concert last year (2022) on their Tipping Point tour. Just got tickets to see them again in June 2023. So happy they’re touring and writing new music.

Superb👏👏👏👏i feel I am back to my young age! This sing still good to hear now 2022! My favorite band till now! It doesn’t age!

This is GREATNESS - a most fabulous arrangement and stunning, staccato ENERGY!

Their quality and skill is the product of fifty years of hard work and it shows in their performances and quality. It shows the path forward is hard work and toil. Sing, play write, form clay, sew artistry and skill only comes from hard work.

Still immense. I really do hope they'll do another proper tour next year

Even though this song was not the biggest or best known song off the album, this is my favorite song from this album and I will play it on repeat even to this day. Thank you.

MY FAVORITE TUNE FROM THEM, GREATEST MEMORIES !!!!

Every time I hear this I’m transported back to high school. Masterpiece.

The band that inspired me during my early 80s....n still counting for more thanks a lot...tff longlive🤟🤟

Such a fantastic song...wonderful to see it live after all these years...

Inmortal Music ,The Best live of this song !!

I was 6 or 7 when this song came out. It was haunting back then. Still hits me today. Now I understand what it means.

I think this is quite a time huh? Like it feels surreal, it's like when he going to say "Time Flies" but... Time had already fled... Just wow

Wow! Brings back good memories

Awesome!!! Love it! Been a fan for years.

Simple y sencillamente magistral! Como hoy día hay gente que se dicen músicos o intérpretes, que vean este video y aprendan lo que es el talento

Incredibles voices...through all these years.

Caramba, não me canso de ouvir esta música, Still w me more than 20 years!

I was waiting for the 'time flies". The whole audience was.

Timeless, orchestrated awesomeness...

I can't get over how amazing they sound!!!

I never appreciated this song or this band when I was a teen in the 80's. LOVE hearing it now. Well done.

That sounded INCREDIBLE!!!
