@@monicamad1285 That Song was my introduction to TFF and I immediately ran out to buy their Album "The Hurting"! What an incredible Debut Album that also had "Pale Shelter".
Same here. I really wish I would have appreciated it more at the time; now I’m 60 years old, just now discovering all this great music that was right in front of me the whole time. Thank God for reaction channels! They’ve connected me to all the music I ignored over the years. This channel with mdreezy is currently my favorite.
I was born in '58 and since I was probably 15 we went to see major acts at least 3 weekends a year. Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area there were great acts every weekend; sometimes 2 or 3 at a time at different venues. And so affordable back then; often less than $10. I saw every great rock and R&B act there was. What a great time to be alive!
Your deep level of appreciation gives me hope that one day the world will tire of techno and autotune and REAL music will rise again... 😝It's youth like you that will keep this music alive. Spread the word!
Ahhh, that 80's vibe signifies with TFF. They exemplified the era along with others like Sting, Human League, Depeche Mode and scores of more great groups.
No song captures that wonderful feeling of discovering that one is in love with someone better than this song. And the line "It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand" is one of the most radical comments on masculinity ever put into a song. I can't listen to this song without ever having to listen to it again at least a couple more times. It always makes my heart soar. Wonderful reaction to a wonderful song.
I love watching younger people, especially artists and musicians, find these old songs and get inspired to make their own new music the old fashioned way without autotuning and AI, which is awesome, but don't forget how they used to do it and now it's "new" if you do something retro. I encourage remixes all the time because a lot of the rock songs had amazing lyrics that could easily be country or a rap.
One of my favorite groups, their production is incredible. Others to check out: The Working Hour, Elemental, Break It Down Again, Raoul and the Kings of Spain, Mr. Pessimist, Cold (with an incredible video) and my favorite, Goodnight Song. That can keep you going!
You are soooo right, we did grow up with amazing music and were very lucky. Honestly music was so incredible from the 60s/70s/80s and some of the 90s, we just thought it was normal & great music would continue to be created forever. Welp, that was wrong! Of course there are exceptions but even a study showed that songs all sound that same more than ever, now. And don't get me started on autotune, lol. I think that's why music reactions became so big, is that people want music like this and all the great stuff from that Golden Era to come back. And those of us who grew up with it love to see younger people experience it for the first time. You're helping keep this music alive!
I think the drummer was supposed to be dressed as a Hasidic Jew, not Abraham Lincoln. No idea why. Another band with a crazy vocal range is of course The Bee Gees. Another of my favorite bands. TFF Bee Gees Echo & The Bunnymen Depeche Mode
I looked through your catalogue of Tears for Fears songs and I don't see a reaction to Humdrum and Humble. If you did it let me know. Love your reactions. I just subscribed ( I can't afford Patreon because of a limited budget but I really love your reactions. Be safe and stay Blessed.
This song works even better on the album. Let's just get this straight......around that time, there was some great music but there was also some truly awful music.
Just listen to the powerful vocals, when music used to be music. Only a few singers are like this in our time, the rest are just mid. No inspiration or motivation
