Tears For Fears are undoubtedly one of thee GREATEST bands of all time how do you come back after 17 years of not making a record and then 40 years after they first met and make an album this good? They deserve to be in the rock and roll hall of fame already and there showing other artist when they perform live there really singing and playing and instrument at the same time! I'm glad there getting the recognition they deserve!!!
I couldn't agree more. They're brilliant, iconic and legendary. They're extremely relevant and critical to the music tapestry that we have experienced for over 40 years. They're as important and necessary as oxygen.
They have been batting plenty, they were on tour just prior to the pandemic. I saw them in Dallas with Hall & Oates in front of 20,000 in 2017 and they were incredible live!
@@keep_walking_on_grassThe song was written by Tears for Fears founder member Roland Orzabal with long-term collaborator Charlton Pettus, and was inspired by Orzabal's struggles with grief and the loss of a loved one (Caroline, Orzabal's wife of 35 years, died in 2017).[1] In an interview with Rolling Stone, Orzabal stated that "The song itself was built out of a 'haunting backing track idea' created by the band's co-producer and longtime touring member Charlton Pettus. "He blended a couple of trademark themes, twisted the time signature and left me to sort out the rest." Regarding the lyrics, he commented "It came at a time when my (late) wife was very ill. I was watching her become a ghost of her former self. So the song's narrator is in a hospital ward looking at people about to cross the threshold that we call death....The line in the song says, ‘Will you ever know when it's the Tipping Point?' meaning, will you ever know when a person has crossed that threshold from life to death when you cannot even perceive that 'vague and distant void' as it's described in the lyric. I have to admit that even in March 2016 when I was read the riot act by doctors about Caroline possibly not making it through the weekend, I was still in denial. I think that when you've been close to someone for decades, they are living within you as well as without. And consciously I did not believe she would die, though subconsciously I was, without doubt, preparing for the inevitable, arming myself against the future shock."[3]
The fact that they still have such quality vocals is truly amazing. One of the most talented musicians- bands out there. So glad they made the choice to come back. The world is better for them being here. Have enriched so many lives with their music.
Tipping Point is incredible. There is nothing nonsense or filler about their music. In 80s I played TFF until I worn out the albums... now at 63 they give me the songs that touch deep into the spiritual or soul reflecting of having lived 3 more decades. I can only hope that younger people go back and listen to The Hurting and Songs from the Big Chair and Seeds of Love. I feel so blessed to have been alive while these guys were writing their songs. These songs are inspiration for my fictional writing.
I totally agree with you Judith. I think we’re the same age. I listened to them all through my college years, and then graduate school. I’m playing this new album over and over again. I saw them live summer of 2023 and it was fantastic.
I think this one is lip sync. The follow up performance of "Everybody Wants..." is still excellent, but is clearly live. For example in the latter you can hear breath sounds.
Simply INCREDIBLE! The new album is a REVELATION! All killers, no fillers. We've been waiting for this record for an eternity. And now it's finally here! So glad!
Totally agree. I've been with the band through every era and every album. I even love Raoul and the Kings of Spain. But this album is truly next level. Proof that just because a band gets older doesn't mean their music can't stay fresh and inspired.
Honestly the composition of this track is insane and is another stunning example on this album of why TFF are one of the greatest two piece bands of all time. Hall of Fame credentials will be coming - it’s overdue!
The whole album is out of the park. Might be my favourite thing they've ever done. How can you not make an album for that long and come back with something that good?
I can honestly play this album from start to finish over and over. What a well crafted masterpiece. How lucky to have Tears for Fears during our life time to enjoy.
This was a great band in the first place, the fact many years later they still sound as good or better now is great. It gives younger people a chance to experience what good music sounds like.
I was introduced to TFF from my late Dad when I was a toddler, as I was raised on pure 80s music naturally hating today's music. I was fortunate to see TFF in concert in Wisconsin with Hall and Oates, and absolutely unforgettable experience. To see them come back and create art like this is both breathtaking and emotional. This is the reason TFF is and will always be my favorite band.
I love Mr. Pessimist and Fish out of water on that album. They are so great. Songs like: Standing on the corner of the 3rd world, Advice for the young at heart & Sketches of pain are just Haunting. (among many others)
OMG!!! I'm rendered speechless. They look soo old....and then I realize I am too. Their music brings back so many memories. I'm ecstatic these guys are giving it another go. Love them!
@@Patty5825 Yeah, we forget how much time has passed! I’m glad to see them still doing it! On days when you feel old and don’t feel like doing anything, look at these guys! They look great and sound amazing, and their passion for what they do really shines through!
Absolutely astonishing! "The Tipping Point" keeps the masterpiece musical style as TFF always used to do. Seventeen years later they have done it again, and It sounds like "Hey, We are back to show you how a music masterpiece should be done"
What an amazing band arc they've had! To be dropping possibly their best album this late in the game is the stuff of legends! These men must be protected at all costs.
There is no way I could possibly love these guys more than I do. Thrilled to have new music from them after all these years, and that they're still great. One of the most underestimated bands ever. I'm almost a decade older than these boys, so I've seen so much music come and go, and just very happy to hear their thoughts once again...
Not really underestimated. If you are older than they are and I am an old GenXer who witnessed their peak, then you must be aware that they were so huge back then and were critically acclaimed. Never underrated, never underestimated. The only issue was the falling apart that made TFF with only Roland less appreciated but still receiving good reviews.
@@whatevergoesforme5129 you have your opinion and I have mine. Neither definitive, but a matter of personal perspective. Not looking for "direction" on how I must perceive.
@@equipage72 Actually, it is not an opinion. Tears for Fears is not underestimated if you know their record sales and critically acclaimed albums. Maybe you prefer a different genre if you are a decade older so maybe you underestimated them before (just making a guess and I can be wrong about this opinion of what you think). Maybe you are into heavy metal before but of course, I may be wrong about your choice of music. Or maybe you were not a fan before and again I may be wrong and you were a fan of theirs. I was their fan and still their fan. TFF fans know that TFF is never underestimated as a band. But if you think it is just an opinion of a TFF fan and not based on the history of TFF, then that is your opinion. I am not giving you any direction. Think what you like but I have to disagree when people keep saying that TFF is underrated or underestimated when they have sold a lot of records and their songs were critically acclaimed even though snobs of rock and roll hall of fame don't want to recognized them because of their personal preference like how they look down on the Carpenters.
@@equipage72 If that is your opinion zzzzzzz. Too bad it is you who underestimated TFF and not the critics nor their worldwide fans. And you think the world has underestimated the great TFF hahahhahaa! Talk about narcissism. Now go back to sleep!
I think we can all agree that TFF have given us an instant classic album. SFTBC was something i thought could never be beat but decades later they match it. Thats some feat. Brilliant
This gave my chills! So glad to see them back with new music performing live with this high quality! So glad to see Carina also back at the band. Long live TFF!!
I was born in 80 and I grew up listening to these guys mostly on the radio and on MTV (When they actually played music, back when the overton window moved a bit slower than it does today) and IMHO they sound just as good today as they did back then. They were deep in the pocket for this whole performance/set and sounded better than I could have imagined. Incredible performance!
Haunting and beautiful. The lyrics hit hard, because in 2004 I was watching my wife become a ghost of her former self, when she was in a late stage of cancer. I still remember the sound of her last breath.
Listening to this song I was thinking.. "imagine being in this band 20+ years ago and playing this song"... reading some of the comments here, it's a song from their new album! wow, you can't imagine how I felt..
Needed this today. So many ppl and things have left my life, past two years. Here i am alone. This song is about death, but about loss in general . Love you Tff, since 85.
The more I listen to this album the more I love it. I've seen them three times in the 80's and I think they sound even better today. Must see them live soon!
I've got tickets to see them in Chicago in June, absolutely thrilled, my first time seeing them live, they really seem on the ball, a new album oftentimes invigorates a band, so awesome!
I instantly loved this song, always have loved Tears for Fears, a landmark of my childhood, but I'm pleasantly surprised they still have a great songwriting ethic. Great stuff!!
I am a big U2 fan, and i have to say that their music have not aged that well, but Tears for fears music still sounds relevant today, fresh and exciting, and The tipping point album is amazing, truly something special
I've got to say, I've loved their music since I returned to civilian life in 1985 after spending 5 years active duty in the Air Force. I was 23 when Songs From The Big Chair was released. Like everyone else, I had it on vinyl. I couldn't stop playing this masterpiece. Fast forward 37 years..... Seeds of Love....masterpiece again. Raoul and the King of Spain sans Curt Smith unfortunately. I received The Tipping Point a few days ago and didn't play it right away.... my mistake. I listened to this "Masterpiece" on my way home from work. I can't remember the last time I played a new release from a well known band that left goose bumps on me with each song. Roland and Curt continue to set the bar higher. In summary....... I am blown away by this album. They hit this one well out of the park! And I agree wholeheartedly. Tears For Fears must be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Any suggestions to put some momentum into this will be greatly appreciated! Rock on Roland and Curt! Long live The Working Hour!
@@anomalees Thank you J.T. I really appreciate your recognition. Honestly, I wasn't expecting a message of gratitude. I was just giving a more than necessary reflection on my love for the band since the album Songs From The Big Chair. Nonetheless, thank you!
Tears for fears embalou minha infância, adolescência, primeira fase adulta e agora retorna com esse álbum arrebatador para acalmar meus ouvidos e aquecer meu coração. Simplesmente fantástico!!!
These guys are RIDICULOUS! The fresh new chord structures are as amazing as their ability to change from major to minor keys in the same song. They are Pioneers.
Listened to this song 5x on repeat. The beginning of this song is so complex, @ :20 music sounds as if it's fighting itself, and we haven't even got to the lyrics yet. Silver tongue reference comes in & you know where he's heading. His pleads, sounding as if he knows his internal struggles from his past constantly haunt him. Understanding he is screaming there is an invisible line that just can't be crossed, yet she always does. Great song coming from a point of past pain that causes internal fighting within himself and with the one he loves. Well done.
I can’t get enough of this song and this entire album ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’m a huge fan and have been for almost 4 decades. This album is a masterpiece - please come back to Australia ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I LOVE THAT LONG TERM BANDS CAN MAKE NEW MUSIC!! This is one of their best.....AND if you have suffered a loss, like Roland, or Myself,.THIS SONG HITS SO CLOSE TO THE HEART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The new album sounds amazing, the band has a perfect technique, the voices of Kurt and Ronald has a good shape and I like the style of the chorist. I hope this pandemic finish soon, we need live music and good peace around the world.
Cresci ouvindo Tears for Fears e agora eles voltam com novas músicas. Sensacional! Como foi dito em outro comentário, é uma das poucas coisas a se comemorar nesse ano. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Real deal musicians. They come back older and sounding brilliant! Love the new songs and Getting reacquainted with their older hits I haven’t listened to in a long time. Found one I sadly hadn’t heard before, Goodnight Song…..love it!
You know that I can't love you more You know that I can't love you more Silver tongue will soon be gone When the sunlight hits the room Lay down with them if you want Watch their breath and feel the cold Raise your hand, bite your tongue Conversation is over and done We let 'em out, we let 'em in We'll let 'em know when it's the tipping point, the tipping point So who's that ghost knocking at my door? (You know that I can't love you more) What's that shape climbing over my wall? (You know that I can't love you more) Winter done, they'll soon be gone From this unforgiving place To that vague and distant void Where the sunlight splits the eye Life is cruel, life is tough Life is crazy, then it all turns to dust We let 'em out, we let 'em in We'll let 'em know when it's the tipping point, the tipping point? The tipping point, the tipping point, the tipping point So who's that ghost knocking at my door? (You know that I can't love you more) What's that shape climbing over my wall? (You know that I can't love you more) So who's that ghost knocking at my door? (You know that I can't love you more) What's that shape climbing over my wall? (You know that I can't love you more) Love you more, love you more Love you more, love you more
🔴🎸 They look amazing! They reflect their current state. And… please we needed Tears for Fears new music just now, amazing sound, great lyrics… I got the chills! ⚡️ bravo!
The keyboards parts are so on point, so fresh. Well complemented by that sequence in the beginning. The bridge has that nice distortion. It’s a simple pop song, superbly arranged

Wow! These guys don't pick up a bat for years, walk up to the plate & knock the cover off the ball on the first pitch. Amazing!
YES!!!
they spent 7 years writing and recording this album. they threw out over 30 songs to find the perfect 10
They have been batting plenty, they were on tour just prior to the pandemic.
I saw them in Dallas with Hall & Oates in front of 20,000 in 2017 and they were incredible live!
Show Ya right very well put
Been rocking wit Dem since the 80's C'mon wit it Tears for Fears
The vocal octave doubling and harmonies were incredible. These guys (and their band) are amazing.
YES!!!!!
I,ve seen them twice ,20 years apart,and they were tight as a drum live both times!
They wrote this for Roland's wife that died a few years ago. Amazing! Glad to see them back!!

Yeah she struggled with alcohol addiction unfortunately
@@bradcarlson9411 I'm so sorry to read this. I lost my mother to that dreaded disease. Painful to watch in my high school years. Prayers for his wife.
The voice of Roland Orzabal is simply spectacular !
And Curt’s voice is also amazing. Together they are out of this world!
We are truly lucky to have such a Legendary band return and give us a new album 🥺 one of the rare good things that's happened this year
Amen!

So so lucky! 🙌

The fresh new chord structures are as amazing as their ability to change from major to minor keys in the same song. They are Pioneers.
Listened to this song 5x on repeat.
The beginning of this song is so complex, @ :20 music sounds as if it's fighting itself, and we haven't even got to the lyrics yet.
Silver tongue reference comes in & you know where he's heading. His pleads, sounding as if he knows his internal struggles from his past constantly haunt him. Understanding he is screaming there is an invisible line that just can't be crossed, yet she always does. Great song coming from a point of past pain that causes internal fighting within himself and with the one he loves. Well done.
I can’t get enough of this song and this entire album ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m a huge fan and have been for almost 4 decades. This album is a masterpiece - please come back to Australia ❤️❤️❤️❤️
BANDA SENSACIONAL!
Sound soo good! Roland, you're still so handsome! Love Your hair! Purchased this album today! So excited guys!
WOW!! I must have listened to this a dozen times already tonight. What a track.
"You know that I can't love you more" that line... 😥
I LOVE THAT LONG TERM BANDS CAN MAKE NEW MUSIC!! This is one of their best.....AND if you have suffered a loss, like Roland, or Myself,.THIS SONG HITS SO CLOSE TO THE HEART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Roland and Curt, still got it, still making astounding music. Few bands of my teen years can crank out tunes but TFF are top notch.
Love the voice of Roland..🥰
This songs always takes me back to the good ole days of being a teen. 80's were the best...
Just think how much good music we've been missing for 17 years. Amazing. Welcome back.
Crushing it. Agreed with many here... this is how it's done kids, songcraft and musicianship first and foremost.
The new album sounds amazing, the band has a perfect technique, the voices of Kurt and Ronald has a good shape and I like the style of the chorist.
I hope this pandemic finish soon, we need live music and good peace around the world.
I love this song! Then again, I love the entire new album. This is the duo's most memorable piece of work since 1989's The Seeds of Love. Excellent!
So many years later and still over-the-wall-FANTASTIC!
Awesome song my 2nd favorite I can relate as I am at my tipping point!
Love this live version. Their voices blend together so well live in this track. Almost sounds studio tracked. AmaZing !
Amooo, escuto essa música várias vezes, não enjoo.
in the 80s i heard them first. I was a Punk in Berlin but i always loved their music - til today. great to see them again. i m emotional overwhelmed
Nothing short of stunning... so much respect for this band! 80's sensibilities, yet... so relevant as well! LOVE, LOVE... LOVE!!!
Cresci ouvindo Tears for Fears e agora eles voltam com novas músicas. Sensacional! Como foi dito em outro comentário, é uma das poucas coisas a se comemorar nesse ano. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Awww, with Carina Round !😍
How blessed to have their music for 30 years and then get this - what a pleasure !!
40 years......you must of missed the 80's
Real deal musicians. They come back older and sounding brilliant! Love the new songs and Getting reacquainted with their older hits I haven’t listened to in a long time. Found one I sadly hadn’t heard before, Goodnight Song…..love it!
You know that I can't love you more
You know that I can't love you more
Silver tongue will soon be gone
When the sunlight hits the room
Lay down with them if you want
Watch their breath and feel the cold
Raise your hand, bite your tongue
Conversation is over and done
We let 'em out, we let 'em in
We'll let 'em know when it's the tipping point, the tipping point
So who's that ghost knocking at my door?
(You know that I can't love you more)
What's that shape climbing over my wall?
(You know that I can't love you more)
Winter done, they'll soon be gone
From this unforgiving place
To that vague and distant void
Where the sunlight splits the eye
Life is cruel, life is tough
Life is crazy, then it all turns to dust
We let 'em out, we let 'em in
We'll let 'em know when it's the tipping point, the tipping point?
The tipping point, the tipping point, the tipping point
So who's that ghost knocking at my door?
(You know that I can't love you more)
What's that shape climbing over my wall?
(You know that I can't love you more)
So who's that ghost knocking at my door?
(You know that I can't love you more)
What's that shape climbing over my wall?
(You know that I can't love you more)
Love you more, love you more
Love you more, love you more
Uma voz grave e uma voz suave que se fundiram e se ouve linda melodia amo tears for fears
🔴🎸 They look amazing! They reflect their current state. And… please we needed Tears for Fears new music just now, amazing sound, great lyrics… I got the chills! ⚡️ bravo!
The keyboards parts are so on point, so fresh. Well complemented by that sequence in the beginning. The bridge has that nice distortion. It’s a simple pop song, superbly arranged
the real deal. Never heard this one before. I f*cking love it. Thanks YT!
Great band
