Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World | REVIEW 

"Welcome to your life, there's no turning back" That's some pretty heavy shit. Hit me back then. Still hits me now.

“How can you not like that song??” Well said.

This song always puts me in a better mood. It's that 80s magic

The sound of the 80's. Unmistakable.

Pop royalty! Yes… best driving song of all time… the best

This was the 1980’s anthem from my generation. Played on FM radio in heavy rotation. Aired on MTV in heavy rotation. Featured at the ending of the Gen-X teen flick “Real Genius”

If you wanna do more Tears for Fears, PLEASE do 'Sowing the seeds of love". Hard to find another song, that changes throughout, and still keeps you in

"I can't stand this indecision married with a lack of vision" Wow. Just wow

One of the greatest songs of the 80's a good driving song on a summer day. Did well also on the charts a winner.

I’m shocked and pleasantly surprised that you young guys like this. I’m 57 and always liked this genre of music. I think I was in the Navy around the time of this release.

This song always puts a smile on ya face :) But it has a serious message about the consequences of a lust for power. "Sowing the seeds of love" is another incredible track and album.

Woman in Chains is another great track from this band

A quality song from back in the day which should be an anthem for all songs from the 1980’s the absolutely superbly talented “Tears for Fears” and it’s the first few bars of the intro that gets you hooked. But we’ll done to you guys for appreciating the kind of music us 60 somethings enjoyed as teenagers back in the day.

This song is so intertwined with my memories of my dad as a kid in the 80s, it's almost spiritual go me. It's like a prayer.

Ha! ‘If you don’t like this song we can’t be friends’ 😂😂 So true! The size & detail…those guitar solo’s!! 🥳🎸🚀 can’t get enough of it and I was there when it was first released

🦋This is Nostalgic 80's Music. Brings me back to the Beach Summer of 85' I was 8yrs old. I was Blessed to have grown up with such great music.

Been listening to this song for 38 years and I swear every time I hear it it's like the first time!

This Song IS the eighties

Great review! I love this song. There is a great 80s wormhole to travel! This is a great song to kick it off. Shout and Head Over Heels are great songs by Tears for Fears too.

When somebody asks you how the 80s did sound like, play'em that song. Similiar built up and sound you'll find in "Alive and Kicking" by Simple Minds. BTW Great reaction . Sometimes I miss that hunting synth sound.

Man that really feel like a MJ song. "The Way You Make Me Feel" has like the exact beat!

When you said you could listen to it again and again and again... that's exactly how it was in the summer of 85. This song IS the 80s.

This is the best song of the 80's.

Classic track from the early 80s... beautiful song with beautiful synth lines. This is how it was done folks. Great, talented band. Glad you guys appreciate awesome music!

So many other great songs. Shout or Mad World or Head Over Heels next

Great to see a younger generation appreciating 80's music, I recon you'd like Spandau Ballet - Through the Barricades

This was played everywhere when I was working in bars and restaurants. Such a feelgood way to start your day😇 we'd all be dancing and singing to it setting tables up 💙💙💙🎶✊

Somehow that piano riff makes me think of "Life in a Northern Town" by Dream Academy.

I believe Michael Jackson loved this so much that he asked Tears For Fears permission to use it on The Way You Make Me Feel (im sure he paid them lol)

This song brings back many great road trips along the Central West Coast.

You must've to listen this song when you go on your motorcycle or automobile for the road! It's an unbelievable experience I guarantee you.

Songs like this just aren't made anymore.

All there songs just make me feel good.

One of my very favorite bands. Woman in Chains is a must hear, it's phenomenal. So many great songs, so little time.

I can be listening to most anything on the radio in the car and it's fine. Bits of songs grab me, not too much change on me. This comes on though, i hear the intro, volume up, beginning to end its just me and the song. And always feel lighter, life-affirmed after.

Curt sings lead here. Roland songs lead in most of the other songs. Written by Chris Hughes, Ian Stanley + Roland Orzabal. The record company demanded 1 more song, a hit. This was the last song recorded for the 1985 album. Chris had a drum shuffle. Ian Stanley had a keyboard riff. Roland wrote the lyrics and the guitar attack, which bored him! L🤣L Better version than the one sung by Lourde. This song inspired members of Glass Tiger to write the song Don't Forget Me when I'm Gone with Jim Vallance. 🇨🇦. The bassline of Everybody... is also similar to Can't Stop This Thing We Started, written by Bryan Adams and Mutt Lange. Suggested next video: Glass Tiger and Bryan Adams perform. Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone. Suggested next Tears for Fears video: Break It Down Again. 🇬🇧

A complex song, you get it if you learn to play it on a guitar. Roland truly shows off his skills on this tune. A truly hypnotic melody and beat. Killer classic, thank God I grew up hearing these amazing songs on the rock and roll radio. Generations now, you analyze our music, but you'll never truly understand what all this music meant to us when we were young. Eat your heart out listening to it, you certainly don't know what it was like when it was new, and the music was e v e r y w h e r e. Remember, we bought records, lol. You guys now, lol, you'll never, ever enjoy the same experience, this video reaction stuff is as close as you all get.

that 'echoing' is called REVERB. Turn your Bass up a little. Emotional response IS the intent of Music! Just recently found your channel, so try their HEAD OVER HEELS official music video, if you haven't already. Loved me lots of '80s music - it was a MULTIMEDIA RENAISSANCE, for sure.

We were so lucky growing up in the 80's. I lay this track quite often as it always takes me back to a happier time.

Always great to see other youngsters enjoying older music

They invoke nostalgia what ever age you are taking you back to sunshine and relaxation tears for fears are timeless

I just want to lay out in a field at night, looking at the stars with this on repeat in the headphones

There have been many duo bands. Pet Shop Boys, Simon & Garfunkel, The Black Keys, Steely Dan, Daft Punk, The Communards, Everything But The Girl, The Carpenters, The White Stripes...

I love this reaction! You guys really get that this song is a whole vibe. It's meant to take you somewhere else, but yet soak in the moment at the same time. Love your reactions... this song reminds me of my childhood carefree days everytime i hear it. ❤

Oh my goodness I love you guys! Tears for fears … such a great English band … so proud of the music of my country … please listen to Feeling The Moment by Feeder and btw … you in the middle! You are spot on every time! 🇬🇧

another english band worth a listen is Roxy Music - Jealous Guy or Avalon

I was 19 in 1985 when this came out. It was a great summer...

Great song choices on this channel be it any genre respect 👍🏻

Your three bobbing heads tell me you liked it.

Every song on this album was epic in my opinion. Great stuff.

The greatest decade ever.

Thanks love this song and your reaction but it's not even the best one on the album, just the most famous. You all liked this listen to the full album in order front to back. It's really something. One of my favorates ever. Keep at it guys!

The line in this song 'So Sad They Had To Fade It' is in reference to the song Shout, the record company cut it down to release it as a sing, 'Walls Come Tumbling Down' is in reference to the Berlin wall.

This songs on the playlist in my local supermarket.....shoppers kareoke is a sight to behold!

Songs From The Big Chair is one of the best albums of all time! Masterpiece!

Roland Orzabal is an AMAZING talent! Please react to some of their more unknown songs, like Elemental and Sketches of Pain.

English bands best in the world

Well Michael Jacksons thriller was basically Toto as most of Toto played on and wrote songs for that album, so theres that.

The Cats get a win and you guys react to one of my favorite songs from the 80s. Awesome day! Thanks, gentlemen.

Almost picked as My Wedding Song

Geniously written. So good.

"Nothing ever lasts forever"!.....isn't that the truth!

This was a genre known as synth-pop. Best ever representation of it imo. They still perform, and vocally still sound the same. Teeny bit shame you didn't watch the promo video too. I read that Michael Jackson asked their permission to use part of that intro, not 100% but think it was for 'The Way You Make Me Feel'. Of course they said yes (and got paid for it)

My favorite song by TFF! Sowing the seeds of love is a great song by them too.. probably my second favorite! I was 12 when they hit it big in the US… what a great decade to live in!

Para mi esta y muchas más no pasarán de moda, porque para mi no hay no existe música que la de la época de los años 70,80,90. La musica de ahora es para mi una música sin instrumento.

Beautifully played and sung with great words to live by.....pop royalty...."Sowing the seeds of love"... is fire too.....

Change by Tears for Fears

I love your appreciation of good music. Try Fanfare for the Common Man, Emerson ake, and Palmer It's EPIC. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

Every generation would definitely love ths song tff❤️

Surprised yall like this. So in high school it was not "cool" to like this group/song in my circle of friends as we were headbangers and stoners but I secretly loved it and still do to this day. Nice pick

Guys you need to make a video reactions to these ones.... brilliant pop songs from 80's ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CsHiG-43Fzg.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VAtGOESO7W8.html

"Pop Royalty" is 'Spot On'! But then again, Pop Royalty was almost all there was in the 'Late 20th Century'! I just turned 75 and I'm So Glad I Got Too Experience The 50's Through The 90's Everything!!! Especially The Best Of The Best MUSIC... Perhaps, As It May Turn Out To Be, The 'Pinnacle' Of Creativity, A Short Space, In The Course Of Human History (Western Civilization), Which May Never Be Attained Again???!!! Especially, as we increasingly 'Descend' into the 'Pit' of 'AI' and 'Life In The Holodeck'!!!

ANYTHING FROM SONGS FROM THE BIG CHAIR CONCERT (Documentary) EXCELLENT MUSICAL AND VOCAL TALENT

Hey, new subscriber… I think you guys should react to Talk Talk, one of the best and most under-rated bands of the 80’s. Start with ‘It’s my life’ but ‘Such a shame’, ‘’Life’s want you make it’, ‘Living in another world’… all amazing!

O rei Belsazar deu um grande banquete a mil dos seus grandes, e bebeu vinho na presença dos mil.Havendo Belsazar provado o vinho, mandou trazer os vasos de ouro e de prata que Nabucodonozor, seu pai, tinha tirado do templo que estava em Jerusalém, para que bebessem por eles o rei, e os seus grandes, as suas mulheres e concubinas. Então trouxeram os vasos de ouro que foram tirados do templo da casa de Deus, que estava em Jerusalém, e beberam por eles o rei, os seus grandes, as suas mulheres e concubinas. Beberam vinho, e deram louvores aos deuses de ouro, e de prata, de bronze, de ferro, de madeira, e de pedra. Na mesma hora apareceram uns dedos de mão de homem, e escreviam, defronte do castiçal, na caiadura da parede do palácio real; e o rei via a parte da mão que estava escrevendo. Mudou-se, então, o semblante do rei, e os seus pensamentos o perturbaram; as juntas dos seus lombos se relaxaram, e os seus joelhos batiam um no outro. E ordenou o rei em alta voz, que se introduzissem os encantadores, os caldeus e os adivinhadores; e falou o rei, e disse aos sábios de Babilônia: Qualquer que ler esta escritura, e me declarar a sua interpretação, será vestido de púrpura, e trará uma cadeia de ouro ao pescoço, e no reino será o terceiro governante. Então entraram todos os sábios do rei; mas não puderam ler o escrito, nem fazer saber ao rei a sua interpretação. Nisto ficou o rei Belsazar muito perturbado, e se lhe mudou o semblante; e os seus grandes estavam perplexos. Ora a rainha, por causa das palavras do rei e dos seus grandes, entrou na casa do banquete; e a rainha disse: Ó rei, vive para sempre; não te perturbem os teus pensamentos, nem se mude o teu semblante. Há no teu reino um homem que tem o espírito dos deuses santos; e nos dias de teu pai se achou nele luz, e inteligência, e sabedoria, como a sabedoria dos deuses; e teu pai, o rei Nabucodonozor, sim, teu pai, ó rei, o constituiu chefe dos magos, dos encantadores, dos caldeus, e dos adivinhadores; porquanto se achou neste Daniel um espírito excelente, e conhecimento e entendimento para interpretar sonhos, explicar enigmas e resolver dúvidas, ao qual o rei pôs o nome de Beltessazar. Chame-se, pois, agora Daniel, e ele dará a interpretação. Então Daniel foi introduzido à presença do rei. Falou o rei, e disse à Daniel: És tu aquele Daniel, um dos cativos de Judá, que o rei, meu pai, trouxe de Judá? Tenho ouvido dizer a teu respeito que o espírito dos deuses está em ti, e que em ti se acham a luz, o entendimento e a excelente sabedoria. Acabam de ser introduzidos à minha presença os sábios, os encantadores, para lerem o escrito, e me fazerem saber a sua interpretação; mas não puderam dar a interpretação destas palavras. Ouvi dizer, porém, a teu respeito que podes dar interpretações e resolver dúvidas. Agora, pois, se puderes ler esta escritura e fazer-me saber a sua interpretação, serás vestido de púrpura, e terás cadeia de ouro ao pescoço, e no reino serás o terceiro governante. Então respondeu Daniel, e disse na presença do rei: Os teus presentes fiquem contigo, e dá os teus prêmios a outro; todavia vou ler ao rei o escrito, e lhe farei saber a interpretação. O Altíssimo Deus, ó rei, deu a Nabucodonozor, teu pai, o reino e a grandeza, glória e majestade; e por causa da grandeza que lhe deu, todos os povos, nações, e línguas tremiam e temiam diante dele; a quem queria matava, e a quem queria conservava em vida; a quem queria exaltava, e a quem queria abatia. Mas quando o seu coração se elevou, e o seu espírito se endureceu para se haver arrogantemente, foi derrubado do seu trono real, e passou dele a sua glória. E foi expulso do meio dos filhos dos homens, e o seu coração foi feito semelhante aos dos animais, e a sua morada foi com os jumentos monteses; deram-lhe a comer erva como aos bois, e do orvalho do céu foi molhado o seu corpo, até que conheceu que o Altíssinuo Deus tem domínio sobre o reino dos homens, e a quem quer constitui sobre ele. E tu, Belsazar, que és seu filho, não hu

Break It Down Again is a great one by them too!

Loved your video guys. And if you love songs that maybe repetitive but you just can't help Loving it and the mood it puts you in check out, "rain in the summer time" by the alarm amd try not loving it.

Originally it was supposed to be called 🎵Everybody wants to go to war🎵. I thought that was interesting … they talked about it when they recorded for Spotify

"The Roland guy and Curt." LOL. Your three synchronized bobbing heads says it all. And yes, The Hurting, hands down.

Hey, been watching you guys for a couple of months and like the interaction between y'all. You guys are funny. Must have been friends for a long time. Nick, like the way you describe how the song make you feel. Got a good imagination. Anyway, I know inappropriate words can slip out every now & then. But glad it's not a habit. Notice y'all like to stick with 1 group or artist for awhile. Branch out and try more tears for fears Head over heels and Sowing in the seeds of love which is different. Video is interesting too. They still are playing and can catch Videos of them now. Also, more Doobie Brothers and try more Jouney if you haven't. I was born in thec70's so got hear & see all the good music 1st hand. There still is some good stuff out there but not like back when. ✌️

Bath is so named because it had a pretty substantial Roman bath. This song is the end credits piece for Real Genius, which is a fantastic movie.

The appreciation on your faces is wonderful.

Do not forget in the 80s we had a different perspective of the world. Cold war was on. With 2 super powers and their propaganda around the world.

Well we good friends cause I love this song!

The Michael Jackson vibe you're referring to is his song The Way You Make Me Feel. It was released in 1987 - two years after this song. Hmmm.

First album, songs Mad World and another I can't remember

They also sing head over heals. My fave

I can't wait till you get to "Broken/Head Over Heels." It's the "chef's kiss" of that album.

Went to a concert for Tears for Fears in Columbus, OH with a mosh pit at the venue......people were moshing to this song! 😂

Best song of the 80s

TFF has another amazing song called Pale Shelter you have to hear. Really great. The video is pretty good too

Sound Track of the Mid 80s ! 2 sided album's. Sounds nothing like Michael Jackson! That's blasphay !

Good group t.f.f..but try the group the cult the song is she sells sanctuary classic.

Higher level of sophistication and a song you can listen to over and over to gain more - 'SOWING THE SEEDS of LOVE' the next one guys..great channel!

Been listening to this song since it dropped in 84.. I still don't know what they're talking about. I just put my head down and do the air guitar thing like I'm getting paid for it.

Dude on the right looks like Curt Smith, Dude On The Right

Wait until you hear "Break It Down Again"

Cool video, as usual. You may give it a try to their follow-up album: The Seeds of Love and check Woman in Chains, Advice for the young at heart, Year of the knife.

What a great and honest reaction :) i am 50, and i remember this coming out as a single, in 1985 in the UK, where i grew up. The bass part on this tune, was copied from "Waterfront" by Simple Minds, and it's one of those killer 80's tracks. If you liked this, check out "Shout", and "Head over heels", both from TFF. Lookin' forward to more.

This song is one of my favs
