I was nineteen years old when this song broke onto the radio. I had a delivery job, and I would drive all over the city, listening to the radio all the while, so every time this song came on, I heard it. Man, if only I could go back and spend a day in my old life.
It was the same situation for me but the car was mine !80’s was truly magical, unbelievable and unforgettable, music fashion and culture they was better than today! But sorry I haven’t a De Lorean car to come back in that decade!!😅😜👍🙏
I was 20 and stationed on Camp Geiger ,North Carolina, when this was released . Unforgettable times ,and memories. When we're living in that moment, no person could convince us that we would desperately long for those days back. The 80s were awesome, and I'm thankful for the experience.
this was th era of true music...the peak of the music, quality in every single aspect and then, after 90s was falling down into shape of these days, pure sink hole
as a person born in 2010 really darn wish i was born in the 80’s. there were no phones for people to be distracted with and the music was great!. i just wish i was there for that
It was a fantastic time to be alive. We witnessed first hand the digital revolution. Imagine walking up to a girl and asking her out and she'd say yes (hopefully!) and it was normal and you wouldn't be labeled a creep because there was no other way to ask LOL. We had better paying jobs in this country, we still had a level of respect and common courtesy that you don't see much anymore. Things moved slower but at the same time I don't think 1 out of 3 Americans was hooked on barbiturates, benzodiazepines or opioids like we have today.
True, but correction.. We're pulled back into reality. It doesn't matter the year it's from or the current year, or anything in between, this song transcends time itself. Also, remember that this song was written and recorded before they knocked down the Berlin wall..
I was a nipper back then, and watched Countdown every week - always hoping my favourite artists would come on (either "live" on stage or the video). TFF have always been my all time favourites! Apart from the nostalgic 80s stuff, music really was a big deal back then because you either heard it on radio or tv, or you had to go out and spend good money on records or tapes. These days it's just a commodity you can stream for free whenever you feel like it which makes it readily accessible (which is cool) but also a lot less special.
A fantastic piece of writing .. brilliantly sung and played These cool dudes still rock this classic piece in their 60’s It is a great combo of deep meaning and rhythmic nostalgia
How is this crowd not just losing their minds? One of the best songs of the century and they're (ostensibly) hearing it for the first time. If I could go back to the first time I heard this song just to feel that unadulterated awe....man. So cool to see this!
Great musical song writing...... amazing song .. this song got everyone in the mood before they was going out and when they was out on a saturday or friday night in the Uk , infact the whole world in the 80´s ......
I was born in 1997, and I would give anything… ANYTHING AT ALL to live during that time period. No phones, normal society, and this band playing this song!
La mejor banda de los 80s, sin discusión. Y tal vez la mejor canción que haya llegado a la radio en los 80. Cada disco traía dos o tres joyitas. Incluso los de los 90s, cuando Roland Orzabal quedó sólo llevando la banda.
Tears for Fears definitely one of the best bands and they are touring right now 2023. I hope they play in the Connecticut area because I will definitely go see them. Songs from the big chair is one of the best albums of all time..
I’d like to thank my dad for showing me the way to great music. Early morning paper route 🗞️ the things you don’t notice in the moment, that amount to meaningful memories.
I would live my life much much better in the 80s, no phone and social media that destroys it. This is perfect. Im 2009 but i still wish i was born in the 80s fr.

Classic off the 80s ❤❤❤❤

kind of the same. I was in my sophomore year in high school, and I didn't realize that girls were easy
lol, this !
Freshman in high school.
Little did they know that this AMAZING song would transcend decades.
It doesn’t get any better than this. The best of the 80s.
its pre-recorded lol
@@mam362 Still a good 80's choon, if you like that kind of thing lol
yeh thats what i thought@@mam362
@@mrchico2621It's tune, not choon
Def turned out to be an all time classic
I would give up the internet and my smartphone to go back and live in the 80s again!
Definitely!
Hablas wadas
fully agree
И я!!!!
Really?? That’s so crazy you’d give up the most important things in your life
I remember riding in my mother's car in March of 1985 and this song came on. Love it.
It was the same situation for me but the car was mine !80’s was truly magical, unbelievable and unforgettable, music fashion and culture they was better than today! But sorry I haven’t a De Lorean car to come back in that decade!!😅😜👍🙏

Amen brother!
HOOAH
One of the Top 10 best songs of the 80s that still sounds so good today.
Top 10? Lol
Im Brazil this band left a mark in a entire generation. 80's forever .
E pra completar eu nasci nesse ano... 1985.. Marcou várias gerações mesmo...
One of the best "riffs" ever at a start of a song...you know right away what this song is as soon as it comes on...legendary group...
I always think this as well , the start of the song or riffs unreal takes me back an to that girlfriend I was with at that time 😊
I was born in 85, and I only have a few memories from the 80’s. But I can tell you, 1985 was a special year for music.
So was I. In 85 great things came out
I was 24 years old, and working in the Pacific Amphitheater and likely they play there in the 85, was amazing!
this was th era of true music...the peak of the music, quality in every single aspect and then, after 90s was falling down into shape of these days, pure sink hole
There can never be music like this today
as a person born in 2010 really darn wish i was born in the 80’s. there were no phones for people to be distracted with and the music was great!. i just wish i was there for that
People like you give me hope for your generation.

@@justacinnamonbun8658 as a GenX born in ‘68, I agree with you 100%
No you don't, arthritis sucks lol
👏👏👏👏
Great Song!
From Guatemala City, Greetings for all Fans of Tears for Fears!
November 10/ 2024
This is one of the most beautiful songs, definitely my all-time favorite! ❤❤❤
Listening this masterpiece is a magical moment great 80s
So happy to be transported back to the 80's even if only for a little under 5 minutes.....
I love tears for fears and 80s. One of best song all time. I was born in 1980. Im italian
This band belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
It's a pop band from the 80's.
@@pelleohpop rock. Aslo, Tupac in the Rock and Roll hall of fame.
@pelleoh so is Duran Duran, Eurythmics, and Depeche Mode but they've all been inducted 🤷♀️
Their lyrics were ahead of the 80’s and very fitting for today!
Just wrote that.
I know. The lyrics for Mad World also are fitting for today.
What do the lyrics mean, anyone, please?
@@SphereOfTheEarth I think pretty self explanatory.
@@r4h4al Would you explain please?
This song is an absolute time machine, for those that lived it, you are just pulled right back into the 80s
True, but correction..
We're pulled back into reality. It doesn't matter the year it's from or the current year, or anything in between, this song transcends time itself.

Yes you are
I want my eighties back !
What stops you?
Me too
Eu também!!!😭😭😢😞
so many memories
👍👍👍👍
This is the 80’s song that defines the 80’s! Best group EVER! ❤
honestly I think they are
Better then RUSH?
Lol..ugh no

This is one of my favourite 80's tracks, it always transports me into a nostalgic era. The oldies are most certainly goodies! ♥️
80S WAS THE GREATEST
I wish we could go back!
TAL. CUAL. JUVENTUD. HERMOSO. TESORO😢❤
One of my favorite albums of all time. This song immediately has me turn up the volume and brings me back to summer , driving a convertible ! Genius!
Back when you knew you were hearing something special. Every song was a masterpiece.
I'm 37 but was raised listening to them (and all the 80s icons) I'm lucky ❤
80’s was the best music
A fantastic piece of writing .. brilliantly sung and played
These cool dudes still rock this classic piece in their 60’s
It is a great combo of deep meaning and rhythmic nostalgia
This is the greatest song ever created. As relevant today as it ever was. As sublime to the ears as it is epic in existential scope. AMAZING
Absolutely brilliant live performance back then! Thank you Countdown!
Wow no cell phones love it I want to go back.
How is this crowd not just losing their minds? One of the best songs of the century and they're (ostensibly) hearing it for the first time. If I could go back to the first time I heard this song just to feel that unadulterated awe....man. So cool to see this!
People had self-respect and didn’t jump around like banshees.
Awesome band tears for fears everybody want to rule the world 🌍🌍🎤🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🥁🥁🥁
GOOSEBUMPS! LONG LIVE THE 80S❤
Un groupe incroyablement sous estimé des 80's.
Le son reste indémodable.
Imposible no viajar en el tiempo con.esta canción, esta tremenda banda y una emoción inmensa ❤❤❤
Always and forever my 80s jam!! Roland on that guitar is gold.
The most iconic song in 85, in 80's
I grew up with this! So glad people are noticing them even now ❤
Classic 80s masterpiece !
Never knew countdown was a thing.
This is like watching MTV unplugged for the 80's music, shlt is dope af.
Great musical song writing...... amazing song .. this song got everyone in the mood before they was going out and when they was out on a saturday or friday night in the Uk , infact the whole world in the 80´s ......
when the music was music
I can listen to this song over and over (and I have), Still sounds good. It is so upbeat and has lots of meaning
I was born in 1997, and I would give anything… ANYTHING AT ALL to live during that time period. No phones, normal society, and this band playing this song!
Lock at these People....omg i miss this wonderfull Time😢

Esto llega al alma. Es el Paraíso. Gracias chicos
MASTER-PIECE!
Lo mejor de lo mejor gracias
beautiful lyrics
“Welcome to your life, there’s no turning back”
The musical personification of the 80s. I’m soooooooo jealous of anyone who was alive to experience the 80s. I was born in 1992.
The 80s definitely had the best music groups!🎶 🎵 👌 🙌 😌
I miss the 80s, what more frightening is everyone in that audience is gonna be well on their way to the age of 60 now 😢😢
One of the top songs of the 80's.
Tears for Fears definitely one of the best bands and they are touring right now 2023. I hope they play in the Connecticut area because I will definitely go see them. Songs from the big chair is one of the best albums of all time..

I'm just finishing off my time machine, to go back to the 80's, I'll get some cassettes to play along the way, who's coming??
👍😎
ME!
Probably all the other patients with you in the Mental hospital
I want to go back to the good times.. and never leave ..we were very lucky those of us who lived through this era..
Went through them all, born in “61” here, I wish I could go back, life was much better.
Beautiful
An amazing guitar player and some of the best vocals I've ever heard their voices are unique and strong.
I would live my life much much better in the 80s, no phone and social media that destroys it. This is perfect. Im 2009 but i still wish i was born in the 80s fr.
I agree, I would give up everything I have today just to go back to 1980, and have another go at it! Today sucks!
Why? You don't like technology? Or are you fearful of change?😮
I was in my 20s in the 80s , Pocket full of cash , Carefree & listening to the best music , Man I miss it
Remember this song , when it came out !!!!
🖐️
It’s the year 2023 still sounding fresh
Love this song every time I hear this song it’s puts me in a good mood
Uma das mais lindas músicas já compostas
So classic!!! Weet nog deze aflevering op TV was 📺👑👑
Reminds me of the movie Real Genius!!! Watched it all the time in the 80’s!!👍🏼❤️
Gracias COUNT DOWN, por este fabuloso tema y video de los inolvidables TEARS FOR FEARS que siempre nos recoradaran los maravillosos 80
Best band & song ever.....❤
Roland is so gorgeous and handsome ❤❤❤❤
That was REMARKABLE 😱
