Those boys.... You really get to hear the full beauty of the track like this. Their careful, combined use of synths, keyboard and 'real' instruments and vocal layering is so gorgeous.
I saw them at Massey Hall in Toronto when this album came out. It was a great live show and the could replicate the album, live, very well. They had Mel Gaynor on drums- awesome drummer. Curt's guitar playing was really good- nailed it.
52 years old here. This in my opinion is the best version. I’m a prog rocker at heart. Neal Morse, Flower Kings, Transatlantic, Yes…anyways…This brings back memories of my youth. Thank you!
I was born in 75 and walked to school in the fourth grade singing this all the time. I think I keep getting reborn in this life just to experience this musical era. Seriously. I am stuck in a time loop based on Tears for Fears. These things happen I'm telling ya. I REALLY appreciate this video!!
Curt & Roland... I cannot express the gratitude i feel for you both for having made my life a better experience. Being a source of happiness, inspiration, support and comfort. You two are eternal and occupy a big and important part in the history of music, culture and, specially, many lives all over Earth. Simply... thank you. ❣❣❣
Oh my god! Beautiful bassline! Thank you lord for the British musicians. Cheers from a American who deeply appreciate you guys from the bottom of my ❤ No matter what genre you guys rule.👍
@@annhunter4356 1960'S-1980'S the best music came from Britain (and Ireland) hands down. Some good music came from other areas, but the majority of the most creative music was coming from the Isles.
I have no words to explain how much I love this song! When I got stressed with school, I played this to get through my day. Gonna go see TFF in concert this summer. I can’t wait!
I think the downvotes are from people challenging the veracity of this mix. To me it sounds like it tries really hard to be period, and whoever made it should be proud of the effort, but it was done from compressed stems (like from a Rock Band rip, or something), and not actually from the time. Just my thoughts, and don't flame me, I gave this a thumbs up either way.
Living in the 80s for the first decade of my life is a blessing I’ll never take for granted. The track to my childhood is just unreal and we didn’t realize at the time that the 80s and 90s were the peak of human creativity music wise not to mention all the pop culture stuff that we just can’t replicate these days no matter how we try. Just awesome memories are left….and of course the TH-cam Time Machine we all love so much
I was born in 1953 and I would not be ashamed to be head over heels for just one lady in life.🤣That is how this song sweetly makes me feel, just to relive my life wholeheartedly and become brand new.
As I listen I am transported back to a time in my life when all was well in the world. I am now 67 and while I have no real regrets about my life as it is now, those days....those days.
“It’s hard to be a man when’s there’s a gun in your hand ..don’t don’t throw it away” Horrible days on this planet. But digging into the TFF playbook has been immensely comforting . And this remix is beyond beautiful .
Never heard this 12" before and, admittedly it took me AGES to appreciate how good this single was. Altough a hit, it was overshadowed by the mega singles Shout and EWTRTW. The piano work always reminds me of PURE,CRYSTAL CLEAR RAIN, falling on to sun cracked earth and parched lips after a heatwave!. A natural beauty!.
You never heard it before because it was created short time ago.. ;) The multitracks for this songs were around for a few years now..so it´s not hard to do home-made mixes ike this (very nice!) one...
Agreed, in the (rather toxic) 1980s froth about how brilliant roland was etc (of course he WAS talented) they lost sight of Curt's skills and his subtle but powerful contribution to the band. Watch them live now... to my mind Curt rules it!
I think his subtle musical contribution to the group was more substantial and influential than he is often given credit for, with the sometimes-toxic 'adoration of Roland'.
I always thought that maybe if he felt more encouraged to songwrite he could have produced some amazing stuff. But Roland was so prolific and powerful maybe he felt he couldn't compete. Even so, their dual chemistry was vital to the songwriting process because Roland would often write for Curt's unique voice. Or would use Curt to help shape his ideas. Or their fraught relationship would produce impassioned lyrics. Haha. Truly without putting a pen to paper Curt already contributed so much to their catalogue. But he writes a lot for them now! Looking forward to their new album this February!!!
Wow what an incredible find... I always liked this song as a young kid in the early 80's and i never heard this version until today, really like finding lost treasure.
The single "Head over Heels" was released in 1983 in United Kingdom and in 1985 in the United States. I love this version of the song. My 41st birthday is Aug 18, 2017.
Pones a sonar este tema ya sea esta version o la original y no podes dejar de escucharla. Creci escuchandolos y me alegra que haya sido asi, los 80 fueron los mejores de los años que llevo vivo.

From 'Shout' on I loved Tears for fears, while not directly 'my thing' back then.....but it had this great attraction to it. I had a tape with the album including track 'Mother's talk'. 4 years later 'Sowing the seeds of love' was one of my first cd's and I also bought 'Songs from the big chair', but 'Mother's talk' was absent. In much later years I saw a newer edition that did include the track but I passed on it....dumb dumb. But on the other hand no biggie as last year I bought both deLuxe box sets of 'Songs from the big chair' and 'Sowing the seeds of love'. 'Sowing the seeds of love' is one of the best albums ever made, it's superb. And over the years the music seems to only get better, even when you know every little sound to it. Utterly great band!

Who first heard "Head Over Heels" when they saw the movie "Donny Darko" and loved the song ever since... 💯👍🏽
The prodigal and rare 12" version has returned from the 80's to remind us the best decade where it all began and still thrives....

The extended bridge with its bass line is one of the nicer elements of this version of one of the best songs of the '80's.
This song makes me nostalgic for a time I didn't get to live in, while feeling extremely melancholic and contemplative all at once.
Living in the 80s for the first decade of my life is a blessing I’ll never take for granted. The track to my childhood is just unreal and we didn’t realize at the time that the 80s and 90s were the peak of human creativity music wise not to mention all the pop culture stuff that we just can’t replicate these days no matter how we try.

IF I had one wish....it would be to make everyone be a senior in high school around 1985. Seriously, ordinary life was glorious back then.
@@factsofmatter6513 70s and 80s were the best....the 90s started the descent into the toilet. You can keep them.
Excellent way to say it!

Its not a remix but i feel what your saying! Yeah yeah 🎸

Man that bass 🔥 love this extended version!
This song is starting to become my personal anthem.
For me, it’s a rare song where it feels like the artists wrote it just for me, as if I was a close friend.
You too??!!
It has been for me since 1986. I'm not surprised it is your now. It's a masterpiece.
Love it mate,80,s, genX here 1967...switched to metal,still love this ERA:)A time before internet and wokeness!!!
I keep coming back here. I don't mind getting "lost" while listening to this:)

2019 and still love this song like it was the first time I heard it.
I feel the same way in 2022...I love it as much as I did when I first heard it on the radio in 1985 when I was 14.
Wish I could have been a GEN X my mother in law is a GEN X and she said it was a blast hearing it on the radio no cellphones just the radio
"Songs From the Big Chair"... Absolutely Fabolous album!!!

I truly miss going to the clubs in the 80s-90s and being on the dance floor most of the night.
Great cardio workout))))
Could listen all day even with just the guitar chords and piano melodies thank you!
nice to hear his raw voice without any filters
Curt Smith should have contributed more to the songwriting process. He nailed it here. It´s one of their best
He has a really nice voice too!
