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. :)
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".
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.
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!
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 :)
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."
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!
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!
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!
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.😀👍❤️✌️🌼
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 :)
Too bad we have to rely on the past when it comes to that type of sound. I'm getting tired of guys bashing the synth based upbeat songs of the 80s. At least those musicians knew how to make amazing instrumental arrangements, catchy songs that give you emotions and will stay on your mind forever.
This is without doubt one of the best songs ever written
and i have it signed by original drummer Manny Elias! he appears in the video.
Tears for fears are a legendary band, Roland Orlazabal genius songwriter.
It’s always that ‘YEAH’ for me. Like 40 years and it never gets old
Now you're Talking !! Songs from the big chair. Great Album . 🔥
Shout, mad world, they didn't make a bad song Harri.
I’m American but 80% of my favorite music is British
I have always loved this song! The whole album 'Songs From The Big Chair' is just GOLDEN!!
It definitely was!. One of my favorite albums start to finish of all-time.
Sitting n the North East of England, watching this immediately transported back to being 20. Tears for Fears absolute legends.
This used to be one of my favourite songs.. I’d forgotten all about it until I saw this tonight.Thankyou!!
A high class British band, songwriting at its very best.
80s music will always be the most awesome

Love my country full of amazing bands and superstars
Mother's talk is my favorite
I'm 52 and have seen a TON of live shows. Tears For Fears in Chicago in '05 was the best one I've ever seen.
I recommend "Woman In Chains" from them. That song will leave you speechless. 😊
@@redletter2008 I thirdly recommend it too 😉😁
Yes, 'Woman in Chains' is a beautiful song. I personally feel the 'Seeds of Love' is their most fully realized album, musically. It's a masterpiece.
@@normandavidtidiman9918 Ditto!
@@sarastromseth-troy3323 Spot on 😉
Woman I Chains and Bad Man's Song. Roland and Oleta....perfection!
They're catalogue is glorious man. Lovely reaction Harri! *^^*
What a wonderful review! “That was diamonds inside my ears!” THATS why we love you Harri! Peace 🙏🏼
TEARS FOR FEARS "SOWING THE SEEDS OF LOVE"
Days of the New- Touch, Peel and Stand
That's awesome. Now you're reacting to another of my favorites. The Beatles are first, but Tears For Fears are very much beloved too.
Orzabal has such an imposing and sure voice, it amazes me to this day. They're too good and Head over heels was blasting the radio at the time.
My favorite TFF song since the day i heard it and absolutely on my top 80's songs list. Never tire of this one
I watch a lot of reaction videos and this is the best put together I have ever seen. Great split screen, great volume level, well done!
You should hear the album version which ends with a reprise of an earlier rocker, "Broken." Another can't-miss song on the album is "Mother's Talk."
Great freakin' album. One of my favorites.
Should give a listen to their "Sowing the Seeds of Love"...very Beatles-esque.
I fully agree. In my opinion, Sowing was their best song.
Brilliant song and as you say very Beatles like 👍
Great memories from my teenage years.
I wanted to be with you alone...and talk about the weather
Amazing lyric
This is one of my all time favorites. I agree it possesses me as well
"Diamonds inside my ears!" Yes! Love it!
Try Woman in Chains by Tears for Fears with Oleta Adams. A song with lyrics still apt today
one of my favorite 80's groups.
Working hour plz, this is probably one of the most underrated songs ever!
i’m 16 and i love TFF i’m going to see them live soon and i’m turnt lol
Let's have a shout out to Curt Smith who played this INCREDIBLE bass line here.
Love it!!!! I was obsessed with it when it came out!
My metal head friends gave me a lot of shit for liking this band.
You really know how to pick 'em. Big, big tune in the day and still holds up. Thank you for making my days brighter, Sir Harri. You never miss.
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.
Timeless masterpiece. TFF never missed. Check all their albums, they are all soooo good!!!! ;-)
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".
You know what good music IS !!!
HIS VOICE !!! YOU SHOULD HEAR " THE WORKING HOUR" FROM THEM. PLEASE AND THANKS
This song always makes me think of the movie, “Donnie Darko”. I like these guys and this song especially! Never seen the video before! Thanks.
Try SUFFER THE CHILDREN - Not a regular go-to song for Reactors BUT definitely an underrated GEM!!
Great review, nice to see someone appreciate the brilliance. My fave TFF song. Fan since the beginning
Great reaction man, I love this song too don't know how I never discovered until a year ago!

The song "Woman in chains" by Tears for Fears is just awesome! Please react to it, thank you.
Mad World…because it has a completely different mood to the even more well known version of Gary Jules.
The working hour
Memories fade
Woman in chains
Famous last words
Ladybird
Those are some great tff tracks
One of my favorite songs from 85-6. I'd never heard of them before this one.
Harri, do us the honor of checking out their track “Listen.” Its SO different and beautiful.

I found out about this band, because of a shirt haha. Since then I listen to them. Such a classic.
Recommend Sowing the Seeds of Love

Definitely had a blast! Always good to groove
A really well crafted pop song, catchy and interesting at the same time.
love them
Always loved this song as a child of the 80’s but now I think of Donnie Darko :)
God came back to my adolescence with that sound I heard this band a lot. excellent.
Su c h great Diction. A pleasure to hear always!!
Junior year in University, great driving song in my 35 horsepower Chevy Chevette
80s were the best

Please listen to "Everybody wants to rule the world" and "Mad World" Great songs. Loving your channel and reactions.
Mad World is wonderful
The Working hour, Standing on the corner of the third world. btw. Great work.
Roland orzabal & curt Smith tears for fears
and Manny Elias
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.
This is one and Sowing the Seeds of Love are my favorite Tears for Fears song, you should give that a listen too!
Great reaction Harri, loved it.
You need to listen to the extended version of Head over Heels
Hi Harri, Wow, I had completely forgotten about this song... 'just feels good! - Brooklyn Mike
Music is better without video... thanks for sharing
They do a “deep track” called Listen. It’s totally different, about Russia. Check it out.
You have to react to their new album, it will BLOW YOU AWAY. I suggest Rivers of Mercy, it's a beautiful and haunting track.
Hard agree.
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.
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.
I will..pink is back 😀
I first heard this watching Donnie Darko.

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 :)
Please, try "Woman in chains", great song
Weezer covered their song “Everybody Wants To Rule The World” reminded me to go back to listen to listen to TFF🙏🦋🌞
Everybody Wants To Rule The World next.
Have you tried " Shout" also by Tears for Fears? God Bless!
Great reacton Harri
You probably know Mad world ? Another Beatlesque one is the Las There She Goes. That's their best one

Every song from their masterpiece 3rd album, The Seeds of Love, would be great esp Badman's Song, Woman in Chains and Sowing the Seeds of Love.
