@truthseeker7794 His voice sounds great for 30 years later, he can still hit all the same notes. Don't know what your problem is, go make your own album if you think you can do better?
This doesn't just bring back memories. It brings back stories, places, feelings...an entire era. Wow. A timeless classic that will echo across time forever.
Can you imagine being one of their grandkids and when they get together you say to your friends, "Yeah I guess my grandpa and his friends are going to play "music" in the basement....and then you hear THIS coming through the walls. :O

You'll note that at least 3 to 4 other people had something in their ears too. Notice at live concerts you attend there will be speakers (monitors) facing the band members at the front of the stage.
I grew up in the '80's, I was a metal head and still am. When Mtv came out, and played music videos, you sat thru many other styles of music. I grew to love new wave, and the new romantic music, ABC, Human league, etc. I love these guys to death. What a time to be a teenager, the clothes, movies, hair, and yeah, the music. This was from the movie "Real Genius" with Val Kilmer. Sometimes I really want to go back!! I miss those days!!
I’m from USA. One of my fondest memories was in the Dublin Ireland standing on a street corner and hearing this song coming out of a record store. I looked over at my traveling companion and we smiled and nodded “yeah me too”. Priceless
People way back had grown up listening to this masterpiece and yet, almost half a century later, the youth still enjoys it. That says at least something about it's greatness.
my 8 yr old son was singing some lyrics of a song and asked what he was singing then i youtubed it and tears for fears came. i was shocked. he said he heard it thru skibidi bop 😅 me i only know tears for fears because of the song of them on donnie darko. but i still respect their music. im more of a metal guy.
I was a teenager in the '80s and adored Tears for Fears. It's awesome to see they're still performing at the very high level that they always have. This song is a timeless classic for a reason. 38 years after its release and it still sounds fresh and exciting. Perhaps it's an old man thing to say, but it geniunely sounds better to me than any of the modern songs in the Top 40 charts today. Thank you, Tears for Fears, for the decades of joy and emotion I have derived from your music.
That’s comparing to genres that are specifically meant for that. Sometimes screaming is what people want to hear. Music is opinionated, there is not “best music”
I like bands that scream, I love tears for fears just as much as I love bands like Green Day or the Ramones, Rock music is great, I miss hearing it on the radio
"like artists today" as said by EVERYONE that think their generation had the only good music. Go watch any song from the last 70 years on youtube and half the comments will be about how music these days is trash in comparison. Even songs made less than 10 years ago people claim the exact same thing. Let people enjoy what they enjoy, just like those before your time should have.
The hell with Tom Brokaw and the boomers are the best generation. The GenXrs are. We had to figure it all out ourselves while our parents were out doing their thing. No helicopter parents either to protect us from every little fall. Good forbid, Thank God we didn't have that either.
They still sound great and I personally think the 80's was the best time for music and so many classic songs and bands/ artists are still going strong.
First time I heard this I was driving back home to New Hampshire from Texas. It seemed like every time I had to change Radio stations, this came on. Almost every hour on the hour. It kept me company for the long ride back home.
I was 8, 8 1/2 maybe...80s were much happier and less confusing years comapring to nowdays. And it has nothing with fact that we were kids, but with the state of mind of all ppl around the world.
Wow ... just watched Rick Beato's terrific breakdown of the original track, then jumped over here. I completely did not expect to hear such a brilliant, grooving, rock-solid and gorgeous live performance like this. I mean, TFF has always been one of my favorite bands, but I never thought I'd hear them so tight at this stage of their career. Just beautiful. What a band. So glad TFF is back on tour and making brilliant new music again. "The Tipping Point" is another amazing collection that hits hard in so many ways.
Yeah, I just watched Rick Beato's breakdown of this song earlier today too. I've always loved this song, but the way he broke it down really made me appreciate it even more for the true genius that it is. I really enjoyed this live version too, and I'm a little surprised at how amazing they still are at this stage in their career. I'm thrilled that they are touring again even though I probably won't get to see them.
Seriously. Such good music. This song really takes me back to the first time I saw a CD n CD player. My mom bought this album n we played it on our receiver n big ass zenith speakers. Lol. I can still remember the smell f our house at the time n how the sunlight was coming thru the blinds.
I remember coming home from school, throwing over there my backpack, turning on MTV listening this mesmerizing music, dreaming of my beauty schoolie girl, thinking life is so good and nice, living my last days of innocence... before life gone adult in a sinuous way...NOW in my 50' s close my eyes and fly away that time, and I start to cry, I can't explain why. My friends are gone, the pandemic took my father and I'm not the man inside that child I was, and maybe is mature to think that is allright to accept that life is just what it is. This music is magic.
Their later albums, including the one from 2022, are all great. They have really only improved over the years. Check out Elemental, Happy Ending, and Tipping Point. All excellent! And of course, Seeds Of Love is a stone cold masterpiece too.
@@iron_rain_band yeah I basically agree. I think it suffers a little on the back half. I think it's their "worst" album, but it's still amazingly good. Man, Roland is seriously a genius.
@@philliplogansr6993, as a guy nearing 70, I have lived through every music generation from Elvis and the Beatles through today. I have said for a long time now that the 80's, relative to any other decade had the best collection of different genres of music and talent. So much of what was made then holds up so well today. This song is a perfect example.
Shocked to see Tears for Fears still rocking after all these years!!! Their powerful vocals and heartfelt lyrics still carries loud and clear hearing them again. They don't need stupid backup dancers or ridiculous pyrotechnics to enhance their performance. They play and they sing...simply awesome. I thank God I grew up in the 80s when MTV was MTV and when we had incredible music that will last a long, long time.
Some, many of the songs I listened to as a teen in the 80s are so appropriate for today as well. Now my 13 year old son loves this song, well everything from the 70s and 80s.
Have to admit, weren't expecting such a fantastic performance all these years down the line. Was a huge fan in my teens. Stunned by this performance..They sound better than ever! Wow!
Absolutely right, I remember doing this round the club circuit in the 80's and it took forever to get the timings right, the guitar work is deceptively tricky too! Great song and they still sound good!
Incredible they still sound great. Sounds as perfect as it did 35 years ago.. God I love the 80's. I can only hope 100 years from now kids are still hearing the tales and the music left behind from this generation. It truly is a great one.
Will it even matter? 🤔Given the direction in which humanity is presently headed. 100 years from today?... will there be humans, machines or a hybrid there of, left on this planet? A question we may wish to seriously ponder, "What is the Collective Legacy we are handing over to our future generation?"
There was absolutely great music thru the 1990's, with in sports terms a "deep bench". I am so fortunate to have lived thru the British Invasion thru the 90's.
Soundtrack to my life. From Child of the 80s to me asking myself every day…what World am I living in? Damn cellphones. Damn internet. But its not all bad if you stop and breathe and just listen. 2024 ❤
My roommate at West Point had Songs From the Big Chair with this and other great songs and introduced me to them. Thank him for it. I’d not heard them before. That would have been ‘84-‘85. Great memories!
@@vincentgranton4348 my sister and I saw them perform last night in Irving, TX and we were blown away. Their voices still strong and it was like hearing the original recordings. It was one of the best shows we've ever seen.
I lived a month in the 80's(born 89) and I have this fascination with the distinct 80's sound. This and head over heels are my all time favorite songs.
I saw them at the BST concert in Hyde Park, supporting The Killers. Absolutely fantastic day, made extra😢special by this band. The opening chords rang out on the beautiful summer’s day and we all erupted.
Based on this classic timeless 80's hit alone, as well as Shout and others, I feel Tears for Fears eventually belongs in the Rock Hall of Fame. Let's make it happen! Those melodies, harmonies, lyrics...magic!
@@deanjacobs4278 ...... OX ???? ... beatles, stones, zeppelin, acdc, queen, eagles, rush, toto etc etc ... with all due respect sir but ...you don't know shit from shinola ....
It's kinda ridiculous they put rappers in the rock and roll hall of fame before they put these guys who let's be honest have more talent in their pinky toe than all the rappers in the world combined
Tears For Fears are back, The physical appearance are change but the music still remains the same. I'm a big fan of Tears For Fears from Philippines. Long live TFF
Roland Orzabal just like he makes whatever kind of music he wants, he also looks like he wants. Long hair, natural gray/white beard and hair. It suits him well!
The most amazing REAL music written and performed by talented real musicians. No autotune rubbish, no computer assistance. I was a teenager growing up in the 80s when this song (and all the others by TFF) came out and they just never grow old. Just so good to hear them now, 40 years on - still sounding just as good as ever!
Isnt the keyboard a synth they are using? Synths are used a lot today they just happen to be connected to a computer so basically nothing much has really changed.
@@71calex I believe the bass on EWTRTW was originally recorded using a synthesizer. As for the vocals on *this* performance, it’s quite possible that autotune was used.
It sure does. How I wish we could turn back the clock to the good old (bad old) days. I was 17, an infantry junior leader in the Kings regiment, having the time of my life.
I can only imagine what it feels like to drum for a band of this caliber. Growing up listening to your heroes. Now. You get to play with them. Embrace the music together. What a dream
I was 20 years old owned my own business single and living the best!! Life! in 1984, waking up and listening to these amazing! guys along with the pet shop boys, Depeche mode, the music and fashion of the 80s as well as the class and kindness of our generation you just had to live it! To understand it🤗
Colin Mattson Anyone teaching the LIE of monetary tithing, selling the gospel in any way, collecting money for ministering in any way whatsoever, anyone teaching same sex marriage is a sin when it is NOT, rich people, unrepentant rapists, lying police people, corrupt judges, and all other unrepentant evil people will be in the GREAT TRIBULATIONS - begins September 1 of this year! That includes anyone listing cashapp links and other bank account links on their youtube channel or asking for donations. Lev. was translated wrong billy graham. Refering to pedophilia. "Men shall not molest young boys." Delete or reject the messages sent from the messenger of Malachi 3:1 and you reject Jesus Christ Herself and choose to die with the wicked. Malachi 2 proves Malachi 3:8 is prophetic instruction for the thieving church leaders to bring back the money they were never supposed to take for ministering and God will end Covid. Every major church around the world knew this since August of 2020 but they LOVE MONEY so much they chose to kill everyone with Covid instead of returning it! James 5:2 Rich people are NOT Christians and the wealth they selfishly kept to themselves will only be used as evidence to burn them. The 2 witnesses are righteousness and judgement, not actual people. There is no ONE antichrist; it was made up by people that worship money. Stay out of the fake churches or you will die with them and their lies. In order to be a church, the place must house people inside it. Otherwise it's another private money-making business serving satan and part of Babylon. There is no such thing as rapture. Jesus comes back to rule. God's people are caught up spiritually... Romans is not referring to Eunuchs where one partner is transgender. Mathew 19:12 🏳️🌈 Eunuchs that are born that way are transgender. It's even in the Bible. Yes, the bible was written by bigoted men and is way outdated and was changed and should be thrown out. But even Jesus spoke about transgender people. Eunuchs made that way by others were abused (it doesn't happen to everyone that is abused). Those that choose to live like Eunuchs FOR THE SAKE OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN are bisexual people that choose partners of the same sex characteristics but opposite in regards to gender. Notice, God PREFERS for people to be in LGBT relationships. Eunuchs are same sex couples. One partner is transgender. Transgender is when someone is born with a gender opposite the sex characteristics normally associated with that gender. God made us male or female, determined by gender, located in the brain. Your gender is located in your brain and determined at birth. I have an identical twin sister that is female in gender. I am male in gender. I am Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6 and that means any discrepancies in the bible are ultimately decided by me. Plus, it states in Deuteronomy that nobody was castrated back then. And that doesn't make sense anyhow. No one is born castrated and no one is born making the decision to be celibate. But, that is what God wanted the lying preachers to think so they wouldn't take it out of the bible. Intersex people still have one gender or another because gender is located in your brain. And Acts 3:22-23 says it will come to pass that anyone that fails to listen to me will be utterly destroyed from among the people. So anyone that says different than this won't be here much longer. It's everyone's choice. Anyone teaching the LIE of monetary tithing or getting paid in any way to minister will also die with the wicked. Peter 2:9 says we are ALL ministers . . . . Jesus was transgender and will return as a woman..... Remember, Malachi 3:8-12 is talking to the thieving church leaders. It's the answer to end Covid and every major church around the world has known this since August of 2020 but they LOVE MONEY so much, they INTENTIONALLY CHOSE to kill everyone instead of returning it. My preaching will lead to a universal monthly income for everyone. If church leaders dont repent, they won't be here to see it. Their choice . . . .. .. By the way, Jesus, david, and Joseph were all transgender and Jesus will return as a woman. Prophets said my wedding is already paid for and will be broadcasted all over the world... !!! WORLD PEACE IS COMING !!! ...........
Their voices have definitely weakened with age. It's not quite the same OOMPH but don't get me wrong, great timings & still a great performance considering these things.
Thank You Joe and bless all the Fan we are.. The Band is looking f** great and still (nu) waving so fabulous ! Notice to you, i baught their last LP's and it is 'turning back' to the essential ^^. If you like, as i've done, chose the box with one of Tears for Fears Live Set in the 80' - Merry Christmas in 2022. TjM
Love this song! 37years ago, I was a high-school student in JAPAN. Everyone was listening to their music. They are living legends! I'm really happy to see you in good health. Music has no borders! From Japan
Legends...As soon as they play the first 2 notes you know exactly what this song is....38 years later (39 this March) & this song still gives me chills when it's played
Never will I ever stop listening to this song! Such a classic and banger all at once! They still sound so amazing! I'll never get sick of this song ever!
I can't help but wonder when this song was being made, I mean originally made in the studio if they had only known the pure magic they were producing at that time. This song lives in the hearts of so many!
Understatement!!!!! If there's footage of them piecing the elements of this song together, I would love to view it!! This song on repeat is never enough!!! NEVAH!!!! 🙏🏽 🎤 🎸
No, they had no idea of the magic they were producing from what I've heard, and with this song in particular! The story goes that this song did not exist at all. TFF were in the studio finishing the album (I think it was in their last few days of recording) when the producer heard Roland noodling around on the guitar, he was playing two chords on the guitar (that would become the main verse to the song) and asked them to turn it into a full song. They were kind of done writing at that point and didn't want to do it, but did the song, and it obviously became a staple for the 80's.
37 years later and they still sound fantastic. Timeless song. I never get tired of hearing it.
agree!
This beautiful 💯 song was when i was 18 years old: 1985😇
Essa música é muito boa e não envelhece e sem contar que Eles estão cantando e tocando perfeitamente como nos anos 80, muito bom!
Absolutely
Definitely, this is one of my favorite groups. I listen to 80s music a lot and man, they sound good.
Its so rare for a band to sound this good over 30 years later...awesome job guys!! 👏
Yes it is so rare, because they don't sound that good after 30 years. They really need to retire and stop making fools of themselves.

I'm going to be 51 this year this song brings me back memories from the summer of 1988 laugh out loud
This was one of the 80s biggest songs. Nearly four decades later, it still sounds fabulous. Top tier performance!

This song immediately transports you back to 1986. It stops you in your tracks, you start singing, humming, dancing. It really has a hold on the 80s.

I was 8, 8 1/2 maybe...80s were much happier and less confusing years comapring to nowdays. And it has nothing with fact that we were kids, but with the state of mind of all ppl around the world.
Wow ... just watched Rick Beato's terrific breakdown of the original track, then jumped over here. I completely did not expect to hear such a brilliant, grooving, rock-solid and gorgeous live performance like this. I mean, TFF has always been one of my favorite bands, but I never thought I'd hear them so tight at this stage of their career. Just beautiful. What a band. So glad TFF is back on tour and making brilliant new music again. "The Tipping Point" is another amazing collection that hits hard in so many ways.
Yeah, I just got done watching that too! They are amazing and Beato's breakdown was so interesting.
Me three... lol... great minds think alike.
Me, four. One of my fav songs of all time. Hope it’s played at my funeral when I am 100 years old.
Me five hahah
Yeah, I just watched Rick Beato's breakdown of this song earlier today too. I've always loved this song, but the way he broke it down really made me appreciate it even more for the true genius that it is. I really enjoyed this live version too, and I'm a little surprised at how amazing they still are at this stage in their career. I'm thrilled that they are touring again even though I probably won't get to see them.
One of the greatest songs ever written!
They may have aged physically but their song still "RULES THE WORLD"❤️❤️❤️
Yeah lol
Yesss❤❤❤
This song is still relevant after all these years! ❤️ Still sounds fantastic! Aged like fine wine!
I'm 40 yrs old and I loved this song when I was a little girl
Agreed
Seriously. Such good music. This song really takes me back to the first time I saw a CD n CD player. My mom bought this album n we played it on our receiver n big ass zenith speakers. Lol. I can still remember the smell f our house at the time n how the sunlight was coming thru the blinds.
could not agree more
I agree! This is the authentic sound of 80 decade! Unforgettable part of my life! 👍🙏♥️♥️♥️
I remember coming home from school, throwing over there my backpack, turning on MTV listening this mesmerizing music, dreaming of my beauty schoolie girl, thinking life is so good and nice, living my last days of innocence... before life gone adult in a sinuous way...NOW in my 50' s close my eyes and fly away that time, and I start to cry, I can't explain why. My friends are gone, the pandemic took my father and I'm not the man inside that child I was, and maybe is mature to think that is allright to accept that life is just what it is. This music is magic.
I feel exactly the same way.
Your story is probably multiplied by a million. Many can relate to your memories.
Absolutely get this .... 100% relatable .. 👌🏼
You just described me. And back in the eighties I could never have foreseen this future. I miss the old innocent life.
TJ I’m so sorry about your dad 😢
Всем привет.Я из Кыргызстана.Мне 31. Мы с папой слушали эту песню далеком 2004 году .Папа, я скучаю по вам.
that drumline makes you a master
Totally agree
Back in the 80's I'd never thought I'd miss them, but this song brings me back to specific times that I miss. Amazing guys!
I love the 80's
Their later albums, including the one from 2022, are all great. They have really only improved over the years. Check out Elemental, Happy Ending, and Tipping Point. All excellent!
And of course, Seeds Of Love is a stone cold masterpiece too.
@@mecrapples Raoul & the Kings of Spain is a brilliant album as well.
@@iron_rain_band yeah I basically agree. I think it suffers a little on the back half. I think it's their "worst" album, but it's still amazingly good.
Man, Roland is seriously a genius.
@@philliplogansr6993, as a guy nearing 70, I have lived through every music generation from Elvis and the Beatles through today. I have said for a long time now that the 80's, relative to any other decade had the best collection of different genres of music and talent. So much of what was made then holds up so well today. This song is a perfect example.
This song never gets old , just sounds more refined every time you hear it. Forever my favorite song of the 80s.
Same here!
No doubt!
@@reids_relics that’s Gwen Stephani Sorry couldn’t help it 😝
YES!
I felt the same
Hands down,no denying that this is a good song .... doesn't matter what back ground your from. This is a catchy song!
REMARKABLE!!! 1985 - 2023... almost 40 years ago. AND these guys STILL get it done. Age. It's just a number.
Shocked to see Tears for Fears still rocking after all these years!!! Their powerful vocals and heartfelt lyrics still carries loud and clear hearing them again. They don't need stupid backup dancers or ridiculous pyrotechnics to enhance their performance. They play and they sing...simply awesome. I thank God I grew up in the 80s when MTV was MTV and when we had incredible music that will last a long, long time.
Vivan los ochentas !!!!!! Somos ochentosos saludos desde México !!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Amen to that 💕💕
Amen they’re great still 💙
Absolutely!
Casi lloro no me canso de escucharlos es casi diario
me dio mucho mucho gusto verlos
Some, many of the songs I listened to as a teen in the 80s are so appropriate for today as well. Now my 13 year old son loves this song, well everything from the 70s and 80s.
Thank you Curt and Roland for such timeless and soulful music.
These guys are epic legends, sound so crisp and clean, a masterpiece
Yes they are !!!!
Epic legends?! Pretty extreme comment considering the business they're in.
@@guillermodelcastillo2548 they’re legends Pablo
Have to admit, weren't expecting such a fantastic performance all these years down the line. Was a huge fan in my teens. Stunned by this performance..They sound better than ever! Wow!
Excelente! No hay más que poco pata alguien que ama a T.f.f
!!!
Ama
Me too👌
🎉
2024 a d still rocking this joint ❤❤❤
This takes me right back. I sure miss those days.
This is such a hard song to get right live, and shows the skills they all have. Brilliant performance by some seriously talented artists.
Absolutely! God I miss the 80's.
Agree
Absolutely right, I remember doing this round the club circuit in the 80's and it took forever to get the timings right, the guitar work is deceptively tricky too! Great song and they still sound good!
Why is it hard song to sing live, either you can sing or can’t sing
I definitely agree with you! Pure talent!👏😎👍
Incredible they still sound great. Sounds as perfect as it did 35 years ago.. God I love the 80's. I can only hope 100 years from now kids are still hearing the tales and the music left behind from this generation. It truly is a great one.
TRUE FROM THE PHILIPPINES!!!
You are just fooling yourself if you think this sounds like they did when we were kids brah. I miss qualudes.
Will it even matter? 🤔Given the direction in which humanity is presently headed.
100 years from today?... will there be humans, machines or a hybrid there of, left on this planet?
A question we may wish to seriously ponder, "What is the Collective Legacy we are handing over to our future generation?"
There was absolutely great music thru the 1990's, with in sports terms a "deep bench". I am so fortunate to have lived thru the British Invasion thru the 90's.
Im 34 raise in the 80s still today this song bring tears to my eyes sound so good
Soundtrack to my life. From Child of the 80s to me asking myself every day…what World am I living in? Damn cellphones. Damn internet. But its not all bad if you stop and breathe and just listen. 2024 ❤
I once saw these guys sitting having lunch in the old Moon and Sixpence in Bath. A brush with greatness. Shame they didn't write more good songs.
Brings back memories of being a kid back in the 80s. Song never gets old.
I'm 10 and on my brand new Powell Peralta skateboard without a care in the world
@@davidhutchinson7888 And I was about your age when this song came out. Glad you can appreciate the music people my age grew up with.
yep, miss them times
👍♥️🙂
My roommate at West Point had Songs From the Big Chair with this and other great songs and introduced me to them. Thank him for it. I’d not heard them before. That would have been ‘84-‘85. Great memories!
When a song can stand the test of time like this you know it’s great. This song is liked by so many generations.
I agree this is my ALL time favorite song!!
@@vincentgranton4348 my sister and I saw them perform last night in Irving, TX and we were blown away. Their voices still strong and it was like hearing the original recordings. It was one of the best shows we've ever seen.
I lived a month in the 80's(born 89) and I have this fascination with the distinct 80's sound. This and head over heels are my all time favorite songs.
I saw them at the BST concert in Hyde Park, supporting The Killers. Absolutely fantastic day, made extra😢special by this band. The opening chords rang out on the beautiful summer’s day and we all erupted.
Based on this classic timeless 80's hit alone, as well as Shout and others, I feel Tears for Fears eventually belongs in the Rock Hall of Fame. Let's make it happen!
Those melodies, harmonies, lyrics...magic!
How are they not!
@@p.t.4960 Exactly!
I agree totally. One of the best bands ever.
@@deanjacobs4278 ...... OX ???? ... beatles, stones, zeppelin, acdc, queen, eagles, rush, toto etc etc ... with all due respect sir but ...you don't know shit from shinola ....
It's kinda ridiculous they put rappers in the rock and roll hall of fame before they put these guys who let's be honest have more talent in their pinky toe than all the rappers in the world combined
Tears For Fears are back, The physical appearance are change but the music still remains the same. I'm a big fan of Tears For Fears from Philippines. Long live TFF
Naldy ace they look like shit. And it’s tragic.
Me too!❤❤💖 I grew up with their songs, passed it on to my children. 🥰
Roland Orzabal just like he makes whatever kind of music he wants, he also looks like he wants. Long hair, natural gray/white beard and hair. It suits him well!
@@paulmor2023 no it doesn’t. He looks like death warmed over. He is looking homeless and it’s a Disgrace
@@opticscolossalandepicvideo4879 Actually, he even looks better than Santa Clause!
C'était mon premier concert à Lyon en France en 1985 j'avais à peine 15 ans !!! Les plus belles années de ma vie... 😢 Merci Tears for Fears !!! ❤
STILL SOUNDS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS FIRST RELEASED!!!! MICHAEL...
The most amazing REAL music written and performed by talented real musicians. No autotune rubbish, no computer assistance. I was a teenager growing up in the 80s when this song (and all the others by TFF) came out and they just never grow old. Just so good to hear them now, 40 years on - still sounding just as good as ever!
Isnt the keyboard a synth they are using? Synths are used a lot today they just happen to be connected to a computer so basically nothing much has really changed.
That's right!...great...I was walking by East River, New York City
I'm pretty sure autotune and technology played a big part in this video. Did you see Curt play bass? no? Yet there was a bass line wasn't there.
This song is my favourite ever song absolutely amazing
@@71calex I believe the bass on EWTRTW was originally recorded using a synthesizer. As for the vocals on *this* performance, it’s quite possible that autotune was used.
Damn this song brings back such awesome memories. Tears for Fears is still amazing!
It sure does.
How I wish we could turn back the clock to the good old (bad old) days.
I was 17, an infantry junior leader in the Kings regiment, having the time of my life.
Absolutely 😂
I can only imagine what it feels like to drum for a band of this caliber. Growing up listening to your heroes. Now. You get to play with them. Embrace the music together. What a dream
THEY SOUND GREAT,LOOK GREAT.THEY HAVE BEEN PLAYING FOR ALL OF US!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶👍✌️😎BOB
Still better than anything in the top 40 today ,that's crazy.
Almost 40 years later and still rocking 🎶🎶
Even rocking better
They just sound so good. So many years and they still have it!
Absolutely perfect after all these years.....WOW!
I was 20 years old owned my own business single and living the best!! Life! in 1984, waking up and listening to these amazing! guys along with the pet shop boys, Depeche mode, the music and fashion of the 80s as well as the class and kindness of our generation you just had to live it! To understand it🤗
I was 9y old at that time. But i definitely understand it 🤭😇
mina Mitchell, Well I can understand it because I was only 15 years, only a school boy in 1985 when this song was a real HIT

Anyone teaching the LIE of monetary tithing, selling the gospel in any way, collecting money for ministering in any way whatsoever, anyone teaching same sex marriage is a sin when it is NOT, rich people, unrepentant rapists, lying police people, corrupt judges, and all other unrepentant evil people will be in the GREAT TRIBULATIONS - begins September 1 of this year! That includes anyone listing cashapp links and other bank account links on their youtube channel or asking for donations.
Lev. was translated wrong billy graham. Refering to pedophilia. "Men shall not molest young boys."
Delete or reject the messages sent from the messenger of Malachi 3:1 and you reject Jesus Christ Herself and choose to die with the wicked.
Malachi 2 proves Malachi 3:8 is prophetic instruction for the thieving church leaders to bring back the money they were never supposed to take for ministering and God will end Covid. Every major church around the world knew this since August of 2020 but they LOVE MONEY so much they chose to kill everyone with Covid instead of returning it!
James 5:2 Rich people are NOT Christians and the wealth they selfishly kept to themselves will only be used as evidence to burn them.
The 2 witnesses are righteousness and judgement, not actual people. There is no ONE antichrist; it was made up by people that worship money.
Stay out of the fake churches or you will die with them and their lies. In order to be a church, the place must house people inside it. Otherwise it's another private money-making business serving satan and part of Babylon.
There is no such thing as rapture. Jesus comes back to rule. God's people are caught up spiritually...
Romans is not referring to Eunuchs where one partner is transgender.
Mathew 19:12
🏳️🌈 Eunuchs that are born that way are transgender. It's even in the Bible. Yes, the bible was written by bigoted men and is way outdated and was changed and should be thrown out. But even Jesus spoke about transgender people. Eunuchs made that way by others were abused (it doesn't happen to everyone that is abused). Those that choose to live like Eunuchs FOR THE SAKE OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN are bisexual people that choose partners of the same sex characteristics but opposite in regards to gender. Notice, God PREFERS for people to be in LGBT relationships.
Eunuchs are same sex couples. One partner is transgender. Transgender is when someone is born with a gender opposite the sex characteristics normally associated with that gender. God made us male or female, determined by gender, located in the brain.
Your gender is located in your brain and determined at birth. I have an identical twin sister that is female in gender. I am male in gender.
I am Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6 and that means any discrepancies in the bible are ultimately decided by me. Plus, it states in Deuteronomy that nobody was castrated back then. And that doesn't make sense anyhow. No one is born castrated and no one is born making the decision to be celibate. But, that is what God wanted the lying preachers to think so they wouldn't take it out of the bible. Intersex people still have one gender or another because gender is located in your brain.
And Acts 3:22-23 says it will come to pass that anyone that fails to listen to me will be utterly destroyed from among the people. So anyone that says different than this won't be here much longer. It's everyone's choice.
Anyone teaching the LIE of monetary tithing or getting paid in any way to minister will also die with the wicked.
Peter 2:9 says we are ALL ministers . . . .
Jesus was transgender and will return as a woman.....
Remember, Malachi 3:8-12 is talking to the thieving church leaders. It's the answer to end Covid and every major church around the world has known this since August of 2020 but they LOVE MONEY so much, they INTENTIONALLY CHOSE to kill everyone instead of returning it. My preaching will lead to a universal monthly income for everyone. If church leaders dont repent, they won't be here to see it. Their choice . . . .. ..
By the way, Jesus, david, and Joseph were all transgender and Jesus will return as a woman. Prophets said my wedding is already paid for and will be broadcasted all over the world...
!!! WORLD PEACE IS COMING !!!
...........
Como no entenderlo!!! Siento lo mismo.
I was 15 and didnt own my own business.
Is owning your own business relevant to appreciating music?
Its a proven fact that music keeps you young both mentally and physically and these guys along with tons of even older musicians prove it.
Over 37 years later and they still sound amazing!
Probably one of the best life performances I have heard. Class act, and a timeless song 👏
its a studio performance its not live
@@iamasmurf1122 They were playing live in the studio though.
We 70s 80s babys watching. Their voices still the same my 2 favorite guys ever we was clubbing to all their songs. ,,❤🎉
I want my 80's back !
They still know how to rock! Their voices have not changed at all with the years!!! This song is so perfect. 🤩
Their voices have definitely weakened with age. It's not quite the same OOMPH but don't get me wrong, great timings & still a great performance considering these things.
Wow how Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith have aged so fast. They still sound amazing, and so identical like the studio recording!
Roland in particular has had a very rough last few years. I'm so glad to see him looking well.
I'm happy they're still around. They're a great band.❤☺🎸🎶👍
Thank You Joe and bless all the Fan we are..
The Band is looking f** great and still (nu) waving so fabulous !
Notice to you, i baught their last LP's and it is 'turning back' to the essential ^^. If you like, as i've done, chose the box with one of Tears for Fears Live Set in the 80' - Merry Christmas in 2022. TjM
This group everybody wants to rule the world is such a great song to inspire young women and men would want to relax in sunshine
It too many “old timers” sound this smooth.
Always loved this song. 👍❤
That sounded so good!
Now, I wish we could get something like this for the Outfield :/
Such a timeless classic! God I loved growing up in the 80s!
80s had the best diverse music!
Radio in the 80's was out of the world. And we listened to radio. There was no Apple Music or TH-cam around.
Such a relief isn't it!? I'm so glad i didn't miss it 👌
I used to drive across Texas. Big state - lots of miles, This band helped me get through those long miles.
March 22, 1985
Awesome Group and Song !!!
I cried , love Tears for Fears, they show their age and yet their song is timeless and the words are still perfect
Agree!
Love this song! 37years ago, I was a high-school student in JAPAN. Everyone was listening to their music. They are living legends! I'm really happy to see you in good health. Music has no borders! From Japan
Japan knows how to rock n roll
Legends...As soon as they play the first 2 notes you know exactly what this song is....38 years later (39 this March) & this song still gives me chills when it's played
Never will I ever stop listening to this song! Such a classic and banger all at once! They still sound so amazing! I'll never get sick of this song ever!
How is this still soooooooo good? This song is heaven sent.
I can't help but wonder when this song was being made, I mean originally made in the studio if they had only known the pure magic they were producing at that time. This song lives in the hearts of so many!
Understatement!!!!! If there's footage of them piecing the elements of this song together, I would love to view it!! This song on repeat is never enough!!! NEVAH!!!! 🙏🏽 🎤 🎸
No, they had no idea of the magic they were producing from what I've heard, and with this song in particular! The story goes that this song did not exist at all. TFF were in the studio finishing the album (I think it was in their last few days of recording) when the producer heard Roland noodling around on the guitar, he was playing two chords on the guitar (that would become the main verse to the song) and asked them to turn it into a full song. They were kind of done writing at that point and didn't want to do it, but did the song, and it obviously became a staple for the 80's.
My uncle played guitar on the recording, he came up with the guitar riff in the middle, they had great session musicians in the studio,
@@hardlines2635 wow that's awesome, is your uncle Neil Taylor?
Wow... He still sounds the same! Beautiful!
