@@peperino25 they are like chalk and cheese so different
“The dreams in which im dieing, are the best ive ever had”
Lex: 😄😁💃😃
dying
@@sandgrownun66 My bad lol
@@privateclutch999 The word "dying" also applies to colouring your hair, for example.
@@sandgrownun66 nahh that's what I thought at first, that's why I typed "dieing" but when u corrected me I looked it up lmao... U were right.. I shoulda used "dying" but the one for hair has an E... "Dyeing" lol...
@@privateclutch999 Yeah, my bad. There is no dieing, but dying, and dyeing. Although, dieing could possibly be used when using a die to cut threads into metal.
Just saw them in concert in San Diego. This band is absolutely next level and they sound as good today as they did back in the 80s.
No matter which era of Tears for Fears you listen to, your ears will be getting a treat. Fantastic band!!
The Hurting is one of the best albums of all time, period.
Absolutely agree with you. First album I bought from them amazing.
@@frankrizzo4460 same, owned on vinyl. played it over and over as a young teenager, loved every track.
I'm 32 & I love The Hurting, especially the title track. Plus Pale Shelter is one of TFF's best songs ever.
What a time it was first hearing them,fell in love wit it....
Don’t hate me …. Songs From The Big Chair. All day. Every day.
Really depressing song but goes hard at the same time. “The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had” only one way to take that lol
The line, "The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had" suggests thoughts of suicide, but according to Roland Orzabal, who wrote the lyrics, it relates to the psychologist Arthur Janov's idea that our most dramatic dreams release the most tension.
Lex seemed to have completely missed that line...
*One can be "dying" on stage. One can be successful but "dying" on the inside- morally or spiritually.*
That’s because he wrote this while he was depressed
Yes. The mad world is causing these bad dreams. That's not my fault: I reject the mad (as in MAD - this was 1982, remember) world. It's internalised childhood terror of nuclear annihilation. They got it before anyone else did - but WE (i.e.: English 11-years old boys at the time) - grasped the mood and meaning entirely. Still do ;)
The 80’s definitely brought a new type of music to us which brings newer different music to us. Love it.
For me this is ultimate 80s. Sad music with a hypnotic beat.
Always loved these guys. Their new album The Tipping Point is brilliant!
Yea it is..
With no doubt my favourite band from the 80s, our own pop rock,new wave , whatever it was..
These two boys are ahead of the game...🙏💙
My husband and I had the pleasure of seeing them last night in Charlotte and garbage opened up for them and it was the best '80s trip I've ever taken
Lex!!! Your dancing is epic!!! Totally “New Wave” dancing. Girl, You get it 😉
Lex, yeah it's def new wave, & from their very impressive debut LP in 1983. Pale Shelter and Change are two more amazing tracks from it. Taking the wife to see them with Garbage in a couple weeks; should be a good one. Cheers, guys
Yes both songs are really good.
Enjoy! I just saw them. I didn’t expect them to sound so good! I saw them 40 years ago. I still have the ticket 🎟
@@dannycasson1551....it was a great show and you can tell they are enjoying themselves on stage
Not should be a good one, it'll be a great one. Enjoy
Two fantastic bands🤩
@@ogmandog yep, that makes a big difference. They said that they didn’t speak to each other for 17 years!
Lex's enthusiasm is infectious
Les, this is indeed straight up 80s New Wave! I think this was your kind of era
You have to do “Pale shelter” by Tears for fears, it’s a beautiful song.
Incredible song!
It's their best song. But I'll be pleasantly shocked if it could ever win a poll on their streams.
@@chrisharris7931 Ok so that’s how they choose the songs, it seems obvious that they don’t read the you tube comments. 👍
Yes I agree 100%
agreed their best song by a mile
My first song i heard from them was "Shout". Tears for Fears is such an underrated band with a great name too.
Underrated?! Tears For Fears is underrated?! I don't think so.
@@dggydddy59 Yeah underrated because they're not talked about enough. Dude most people don't even know they originally did this song lol...unless you were born in the 70s 80s or early 90s.
Just over a minute in and Lex is already churning butter 😂🧈😎
Definitely New Wave! "Pale Shelter" and "Change" from the same album would be good follow up reactions.
The song is about a mad world of course but about loneliness and suicide. Though its upbeat but also dark sounding. It talks about child sadness. in the line "Children wait for the day the feel good". It also talks about life in general.
Right 😂 and Lex is dancing cheering the whole time 😭😭😂
I love how happy Lex gets when she hears something she likes really cute 🔥✌🙏🎶🎵
New wave..you nailed it, it was a great time
Tears for Fears are back on tour in the USA and have a new album and are getting excellent reviews of both the tour and Album!
It's funny a lot of people bring up Donnie Darko when mentioning the Gary Jules version but it also got a resurgence in the the early 2,000s when it was used in the promotion for the 1st Gears of War.
Lex nailed it. The sentiment at the time was at what price do you value your soul? Most of us who were there during the 'Yuppie' Reagan years know all about the ultimate cost of the pursuit of extravagance. She is slowly acclimating to the times solely through her listening experience. That is extraordinary! How she does it I'll never know.
You make the Reagan era sound depressing. It was a great time to be alive. Most of the Yuppies were former Hippies. Funny how that works out.
@@chrisharris7931 Had the best time of my life. But you have to admit that it was a decade of extravagance. How many Wall Street movies have they made already? All taking place in the 80's. I wasn't complaining then and am not now. Just pointing out that Lex saw the point of the song immediately.
What's really funny is that Lex often comes up with a goofy comment, then as she elaborates she makes perfect sense and nails it!
@@chrisharris7931 It's short-sighted. It's like romanticizing the Roaring 20's. There's a long-term cost. Great depression, recession, etc. Boom-bust cycle. We're in 1 now. It was hastened by the pandemic, but exacerbated by prior economic policy & continuation. And there's an additional point that, beyond survival or at least comfort, the pursuit of material is shallow. That's where Lex here shows her wisdom. She dances w/ Roland, while Brad fantasizes about Lambos. lol
It's so interesting hearing her takes on music, she has an ear that not many people develop.
every time i hear these 80s songs it teleports me back to when i was 15 years old listening to great music enjoying summer fun .
Classic 1980s British synth pop, classic tune
80s Synth Pop with a deep message
"Pale Shelter" is another top song from Tears For Fears
I was waiting to see how Lex would react to the guy's dancing. Her moves are adorable!
Love how Lex was dancing with the song 💕😀
New Wave, New Age is a totally different genre.
I really enjoyed that, loving the 80's music you're doing. Got my mam to get her old 80's records out the loft recently for me. Some suggestions to check out are five star, erasure, Kim Wilde and don't go by Yazoo, I think you'll like that one Lex, so 80's. They're all Brit so you guys may not have heard their stuff. I think Kim Wilde 'kids in America' is well known because I've definitely heard it before.
I think checking out the Mods of the sixties is worth it as well.
Being a kid in the 80s that song was hopeful. It's a bit sad to listen to now seeing what a mess we are in.
Tears For Fears are touring this summer and I would recommend seeing them.. especially Brad and Lex. I've seen them twice and last time they did the slowed down acoustic version of "Mad World"..
My husband and I had the privilege of seeing them in Charlotte last night and Shirley Manson and garbage opened up for them and it was a truly awesome step back a couple decades they sound just as good now as they did when you popped in that CD in the '80s
I just saw these guys in Denver a couple weeks ago. They sounded awesome - when they played this, the crowd went wild.
Brings back lots of memories of being a teenager the 80s - bands like Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Orchestral Manouevres in the Dark and of course Tears for Fears. These were all great UK bands
One of Somerset's finest band's, along with the Wurzels!! 😊
Saw them back in the 80s, The Hurting, Songs From The Big Chair, 2 classic albums.
New Wave. 😁 One of my favourite groups. Great song writing. Great melodies. Attention to detail, and doing their own thing. There are many groovy hits from these guys.
Yes, this is New Wave. Basically the 2nd coming of British artists dominating the music scene (first wave was the British Invasion of the 1960's).
"New Wave....NEW WAVE!!!" - Pee Wee Herman in Cheech and Chong's Nice Dreams.
Pale Shelter is my favorite song from them, you guys definitely should check it out.
Lex got it right. Kind of funny, kind of sad. Two sides of the same thing.
Lex ripped off this guy's moves! 😁
Lex was exceeding the speed limit here. Whoa Nelly! 😁✌️
The guys in the band had a lot of childhood traumas they were dealing with, and they used their struggles to create their music.
2:00 When you're depressed on the outside, but inside you're a fabulous dancing queen!
When youre depressed but also know how to have fun🤣
Brad always looks so confused.. love it!
lex ur great, so much joy n eneergy, yeah new wave time, vis song was rereleased bout tem yrs ago n tempo slowed dwn n a hit again.
He's listening to the lyrics and she is listening to the beat. Totally different reactions.🤣
Right! He would say something sad but all Lex heard was the instruments go off at the same time and would giggle and dance harder during sad lyrics 😭😂😂
This song was released in 1983 and the way the dancer was dancing was how we used to dance back then. 😅 Curt Smith the singer has recorded a slowed down acoustic version with his daughter, and it's excellent... it's on TH-cam.
Yes that's a lovely version
Tears was my 3rd favorite new wave band Depeche Mode definitely #1 and New Order #2.
Just from that information I can tell you are a good person!😄
Sorry dude, The Cure, DM, Erasure, Yaz, New Order,
TFF and OMD are in the next 5.
The cure number one
Great song from a great group. Loved this song when it came out. Fond memories.
It was much later on, but I also really like "sowing the seeds of love" - it is more accessible (i.e. sounds like a Beatles track) - it is worth a listen. Video is very reminiscent of a Talking Heads (And she was) or Peter Gabriel (SledgeHammer) video...
The song was inspired by *dancing guy - Roland Orzabal watching people go to work in the morning while he was struggling and unemployed trying to write songs in his upstairs apartment.
Lex is perfection. So cute, so beautiful.
This is NEW WAVE for sure. I grew up with this as a teen. Black trench coats, bi level hair cuts, black eyeliner and clove cigarettes at the club! New Age is a spiritual movement. It believes in reincarnation, Astrology, crystals. I was into that too but am now a very happy Atheist. Thanks for your reaction!
Check out Journey of Souls by Dr. Michael Newton
Clove cigarettes !! I never smoked, but I loved the smell of the lines to get into the New Wave dance club back in the day!
@@lyngusrobb5323 , I didn’t smoke them either, although I did try them. They have sugar on them so they are sweet. Too bad they are so unhealthy! I stick with the cannabis now. 😂
Tears for Fears, nice!
Want more darkwave (gothic new wave/post- punk/dance punk)? Also check out other bands like Clan of Xymox, Sioxsee and the Banshees, Fields of Nephilim, Frozen Autumn, Faith & the Muse, Cocteau Twins, In the Nursery, Dead Can Dance, Christian Death, Joy Division/New Order, The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen, Lebanon Hanover, Bauhaus, Kaelan Mikla, The Ghost of Bela Lugosi etc. Yall will like it. lol
Tears For Fears = Cerebral Band and YES The Hurting is one of the Best Albums of All Time! PLEASE React to SUFFER THE CHILDREN - underrated but AMAZING!
the moment i saw you were reacting to this i knew we were in for a giggling dance off
Love the bridges built across cultures,societies,time itself with music and the willingness to be open to it.
Love ya two for it,you would have loved the 80s when everything felt new in every kind of music....
She gets it,lol....
Is Tears For Fears new wave? Oh my....of course!
Tears for fears are the sound of the 80,s they were streets ahead of any of the other bands around
Stop trying to coin the phrase "streets ahead"
I wasnt bud
@@hughesy8411 Figured you'd understand the reference nvm.
A comment I made 2 years ago brought me back and i swear Lex only hears the music and not the words for so much of it 😂😂 bro said “no one knew me, no one knew meee” and Lex hit a lil happy dance and went “aHaHa” 😂
This is classic New Wave 👍🏼
Love these guys. I don't listen to a lot from this era but these guys are too good and something about every song they make justs resonates with me
Love this tune! This was huge back in the day…Check out “Pale Shelter” by TFF next, guys!
Awesome song! Loved it the first time I heard it. My favorite Tears for Fears song.
Their show at the Amp last night was fantastic!!!
Cool! I just saw them here in San Diego. I couldn’t believe they came here…
I saw them 40 years ago. Sounded pretty good! 🌻
LOVED this entire album back in the day….. early 80’s. Wore it out 😂
It’s funny. Cause she’s dancing and he’s serious. And that is tears for fears as a band.
This song, Alphaville - Forever Young, and XTC - Dear God are the most haunting brilliant 80s songs.
What's really funny is that Lex often comes up with a goofy comment, then as she elaborates she makes perfect sense and nails it!
brings back a mass of memories for me - best time of my life back then - young and free
They were one of the very best bands in the 80s and that's saying something.
"The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had". Dark themed lyics. I've always loved this band and this is a great song. Classic TFF.
First introduced to the cover of this song by Gary Jules for the Donnie Darko movie in 2001. That was 18 years after Tears wrote the song. And Darko was released 21 years AGO! That messes with me on so many levels. Lol
I can't believe how awesome this song was when I was a teenager and it still is to this date!
new wave not new age. probably this song represents the height of that trend in the 80's. Bands like Tears for Fears, The FIXX, Bronskie Beat, Eurythmics, Flock of Seagulls, Siouxsee & the Banshees, New Order and many other bands of that time have an Avante Garde sentiment and just plain coolness that New Wave music represented.
I'd say it's new-wave but leans more towards "new romantic". In this era there were a handful of bands that made it big doing this kind of dark romantic "pop" with synths etc.
Heard this for the first time, with a slower tempo and without that overlayed percussion, on the TV show CSI, set a dark mood that was haunting.
I always put it down to everyone gets along by seeing only what is on the outside, the image we put on. All whilst on the inside we are tormented looking out at the world go by realising that you are not really attached to any of it. is a great analogy for depression.
Lex, you are so adorable! Brad, you a lucky man!!!!
Yes, this is New Wave.
watching the difference between you two is hilarious.
So catchy! "Pale Shelter" next wooooo!
Saw them a few years ago at the Royal Albert Hall London. Absolutely fantastic!!
I love 80's teenager at the time,best decade musicaly.I enjoy and laugh seeing Lex to enjoy in music,dancing and smileing,she killed iz,Brad let yuorself go 😁.
Tears for Fears made great music all throughout the 80s “Pale Shelter” is another great song of theirs from 1983
I so love watching you guys react, especially Lex's enthusiasm for almost everything.... love it. Back to T4F, 'Pale Shelter' has to be next up (i'm sure you haven't done it yet).
Yes, new wave. Post-punk. Late '70s, '80s, and early '90s was it's peak, especially during the '80s 🎶 This a little more on the darkwave (dark, ethereal sounding, melancholy new wave), gothic side, though maybe even new romantic. It's all relative to each other in a way anyhow. You still hear music like this now in the 2000s, but it's now called post-punk, dance-punk, alternative. 2000s bands like Metric, Bloc Party, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Arcade Fire, Interpol, MGMT, Empire of the Sun, Crystal Castles, Santigold, The Weeknd. Check them out!
Bloc party, Helicopter. 🔥🔥
@@shifterbbr1986 Yes! And "Banquet", "Trap" or "Skeleton " too
Have you seen Donnie Darko? You really should. The version of this song at the end of the film is heart breaking & strange. I find it much more affecting than the Tears For Fears original.
Yeah but only in connection with Donnie Darko. As a stand-alone version it can be pretty boring. I heard the song before watching the movie and thought "No way..." while watching Donnie Darko I thought " very good" 😀
@@leroyrs I disagree, the Darko version sounds better to me. The original sounds too... bouncy.
I like the dichotomy of the poppy music and the sad and dark lyrics. When this song is done as a ballad it takes away from the pure strength of it. It’s pretending everything is ok when inside it’s not. Or, I’m an idiot.
@@Theutus2 It's not about Donnie Darko. Gary Jules made this version especially for that movie. You may prefer that but the original had a different goal. "It's a bizarre viewpoint to watch people go about their daily routine, having to work for a living when you're sitting in a flat, unemployed," In a 2013 interview with The Guardian, Orzabal said of the timeless nature of the song: "'Mad World' hasn't dated because it's expressive of a period I call the teenage menopause, where your hormones are going crazy as you're leaving childhood. Your fingers are on the cliff and you're about to drop off, but somehow you cling on."
Yeah the Gary Jules version is a more somber version.
Lexi is totally right. New wave.
This album (The Hurting) is from 1983, and it's brilliant. Check out the song Pale Shelter from the same album.
I prefer this original track of "Mad World" created and released by *Tears for Fears.* Besides, without "Tears for Fears", this song would not have the chance of actual existence, let alone being covered by other musical acts or artists. With that said, this "Mad World" track is irrefutably done greatest justice by the original creators of the song. The rendition performed by Gary Jules is fine and good - yet, simply by default, cannot match the raw authenticity captured by way of *Tears for Fears.* Ultimately, *Tears for Fears* created, own and unleashed this spectacular song upon the world in its entirety; and thankfully so!
New wave. Yes ma'am. Tear for Fears were fantastic.
“Are.” Check out their new album, “The Tipping Point,” very good
@@vinsgraphics New album? I hadn't heard that! Thank you. I'll check it out.
I love how based on facial expressions Brad instantly understood but played ignorant to let Lex enjoy how fun the music was aside from the lyrics.
This is the level of aware reservedness men should aspire to
Now check out the Gary Jules version. Different vibe but also excellent!
This was nice, the message was there is basically a fabulously catchy pop song with superb arrangements, both message and arragements notd by Lex ... Brad on this occasion behind the curve essentially on message and that can be hard when you get the world a certain way ... the post song conversation was nice, philosphical ... soul vs materialism and if you / we dig deeper these two notions of human behavior/politically dont always have to be in opposition , but in cultural shorthand they often are suggested that way. Nice guys , sometimes i approve sometimes i dont, but that is my thing, keep on doing what you enjoy, a solid from the north of England
@Brad & Lex - Oh..lol @ myself for being a day late and dollar short...Yes, this is New Wave. It would really behoove you both to do a modicum of research on when Genres of music came to be.
I would class this as 80's Brit Pop.... which morphed out of early 80's New Wave, which had morphed out late 70's punk, which had morphed out of early 70's Glam Rock.... if you like this, you will probably really like a song called "Enola Gay" by a band called "Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark", which is also in the New Wave/Brit Pop category, but a little more New Wave
New wave
