"Funny How Time Flies" is also a lyric from the song "Broken" which is the track before "Head Over Heels" (which transitions back into "Broken" at the end of the long version).
I love all the falsetto as well it's fun song to sing along with it's a challenge! What's amazing is Roland is in his 60s and he can still hit those falsetto notes !!
This song was used in the movie Donny Darko which is definitely one of the more trippy movies from the 90's and early 2000's. Tears For Fears "Songs From The Big Chair" is just one of those albums that is so good that you can listen to it from beginning to end. Plus the album version of "Head Over Heels" is extended right into a live performance of "Broken." It's just so good.
The production of this song is stunning. That was the order of the day. Tears for Fears, Talk Talk, Scritti Politti, Trevor Horn. Big, lush, over-produced heaven. Perfection.
It is just so 80s. Maybe that's just me since this was part of my intro to MTV and music videos. This was from the era when I was introduced to music. So much nostalgia!
“Head over Heals” by Tears for Fears is an 80s classic about a man who has fallen in love with a woman. We get the sense that she holds all the cards, and is either not reciprocating or not giving him any indication one way or another whether she is interested in him. Perhaps she is hung up on the past. She seems to parry his advances.
The intro and bridge of this song are in C Lydian. That's a modal scale you almost never hear in pop music because it has a raised 4th scale degree which gives it a really out there (but bright) spacey sound. I mean Frank Zappa used to use it a lot but that just goes to show how very out there that modal scale is for a pop song lol. This is the single version of the song btw. But its really the middle section of two tracks on the album. Broken and then Head Over Heels/Broken. (This is the Head Over Heels part). You guys should listen to the whole thing when you get a chance, its pretty cool. Tears For Fears was not your typical pop new wave band.
@@Kaddywompous True. And I'm pretty sure Vai's love for it comes from his time with Zappa. Although not as weird hearing it come from guys like them. You expect them to play around with cool modes. But not so much from a pop band like Tears for Fears.
@@guyelmouchnino6531 I might have. I watch his videos from time to time. And I actually just linked one of his videos in their Kid Charlemagne video. But I can also just hear the lydian sound.
Lex you have the sweetest smile and super positive vibes. It seems like you really love music. Glad you reviewed Tears for Fears. They are one of my favorites!
@@marshman96 yea there’s the “head over heels/broken” version and then there’s “broken” version on in its own a 2:30 ish minute song with words in it whereas the other version of broken has no words and it shorter
"Oh,... It sounds like it's gonna'be beautiful...!" You were right. Lots of soulful music from England around that time. Gang of Four - Is It Love ABC - Lexicon of Love album Fashion - Love Shadow Heaven 17 - Let Me Go Spandau Ballet - Chant No.1 Pep Shop Boys - It's Alright And many many more.
This is a classic even when I was a kid back in 1986 when this song first came out this was a hit and their other songs " Everybody Wants To Rule The World " and " Shout" the term head over heels is a old saying it means falling deeply in love.
My interpretation of this song is that he’s expressing the feeling of infatuation for someone he probably has no chance with, so it alternates between insecurity (verses) to elation (choruses) to false hope (bridge “this is my four leaf clover la la la”). A brilliantly structured song overall, with great chord changes that lead you around by the nose through shifts of mood appropriate to the lyrics.
This was always my assumption as well. And I feel like the "Funny how time flies" line at the end is him realizing he spent too long dreaming instead of busting a move and then she's gone.
This song will always be Donny Darko to me. I was in 11th grade, unsure of myself and that movie helped share the way I view the world. As well as echo and the bunnymen. But that music video is purely whimsical. Ghostbusters meets Alice and Wonderland. The fact she got that from just the song is fucking me up. I always got that from the music video, but never out the song into a psychedelic context.
It is a guy that gets infatuated quick, gets hurt, etc, At the end he is showing his four leaf clover for good luck. Head over heels means love/infatuation
Nice reaction, absolutely means head over heels in love. This song was a huge hit for them, the whole album Songs From The Big Chair is incredible. For a moody, deeper themed song, you need to hear the song, "Woman In Chains", from the album Sowing The Seeds Of Love. You'll hear a female singer, Oleta Adams, who can easily keep up with the guys' vocal magic. It's an amazing song 🤯
Oh man this song brings back memories. 1985 and I was in love with a girl out of my league, pretty much exactly what the song is talking about. Head over heals for her. In the end, she was just wasting my time. Don't take my heart, don't break my heart...and she did. Dang.
Yes it means in love, head over heels saying comes from the fact that when you really like something your head sticks out while your heels are lifted behind
Lex, true your head is always above your heels, but that's not what the saying means. It's like a rolling fall, a somersault, where there's an exchange of which is over the other. There's a point where your heels are over your head.
The saying head over heels comes from an old torture technique where they would string people upside down. So the original term was heels over head, and somehow the reserve of it started being used to describe those in love, as it can sometimes be akin to torture.
I can remember listening to this song various times in 1985/86, either on radio or MTV if I had it on. I missed the school bus one morning in 86 to see the Aerosmith/DMC collab for the first time. I have random, useless memories like that, but distinct ones. I used to listen to the radio as I was trying to doze off. Due to doing that from about age 5 to 18 (I had transistor radios or would take my older sibs' cassette player as a little kid), if I listen to even something like Van Halen's Eruption and stuff of that loudness, it still prepares my mind to slip into sleep. I think it's something caused by changes in my neurons from doing that when my brain was developing. If I do it now, I would usually choose something more mellow than VH, but VH would still work. Recently I listened to a few Beatles' remasters and I was fading so hard while it was going into my ears that I had pull out the buds after 3 songs and get into my fave sleeping position.
Love the "time flies" voice, Lex! That effect, a "flanger," was also used on the drums too, about a minute before the end, sort of an overhead jet woosh sound.
This isnt about drugs. What? Head over heels means to fall in love. It's a love song. 😆 This is a new wave classic. Watch Donnie Darko. Crazy movie set in the '80s, made in the early '00s. Has this song and many other new wave and post punk songs from the '80s. Tears for Fears were huge back then. Tears had lots of good videos and songs. '80s and '90s
Ahh! You guys are klling me mates! Haha! Got over priced tickets to see them 2 miles down the road at Warwick Castle, UK the day before my late Dad's Birthday. Passed away before Xmas. Love your posts!! x
It's basically about a guy falling head over heels in love with a woman but there's something not "right" about either his love for her, hers for him or their relationship as a whole not being healthy for either of them but he doesn't see that's there's something off until he's already in the relationship which is why he says don't take my heart/don't break my heart/don't throw it away. I think the "gun in your hand" lyric could be interpreted as the literal "if I can't have you, nobody can" or the "damned if you do/damned if you don't" because you want to be happy but nothing the guy and/or woman does is making it what it needs to be for them to be happy long term. One little boy could reference the immaturity/insecurity the guy felt going into it and the one little man could be that he's grown up but not enough to realize he should let it go and move on. "Funny how...time flies" could reference the time wasted on trying to make the relationship into something it never was or could be and he's finally had that "a-ha" moment of clarity
@Brad & Lex , If you watch the video of this song it shows a student who has a crush on a Librarian and falls (head over heels) in love with her but she never notices him but at the end of the video it shows them both years later happily married .
Love tears for fears. One of the best 80's groups. Yeah, this song, is about a guy, that is deeply in love/or infatuated with, someone but they don't really feel the same and share the same feelings. Unrequited love. Very relatable.
Mad world, pale shelter, change and sowing the seeds are some other bangers from them. This is not a trip song but a journey. He is in love but his past is making him feel unsafe or break his heart. The song ends with how his relation has flies by. The song does lead into broken.
Sowing the Seeds of Love by Tears for Fears is a must...it's an homage to the Beatles, in their style...amazing!! And watch the official video, the graphics are incredible and add to the song
Gen Xer music. New wave, synth punk, pop music. There are various forms under new wave. That was a popular from the late '70s, 80s, a little bit of the early '90s. Lex likes that music from the '80s. Head over heels means to fall in love. This song was on Donnie Darko, a creepy cool movie. That movie was from 2001 and settings is based in the '80s. Had a lot of new wave, post-punk, some goth music from that decade. Duran Duran, The Church, Echo and the Bunnymen, Oingo Boingo, Joy Divison, etc. You need to watch that movie.
"The Working Hour", "Woman In Chains", "Goodnight Song" and "Famous Last Words" are good songs by Tears For Fears if you want to do more. I wanna see Lex fly off the sofa during "Famous Last Words" LOL.
@@keithjones7390 Because average people don't really know the deep cuts like we do. Was that even released as a single? As far as deep cuts go from that album. I would love to see them react to "Badman's Song".
@@ROArecords2 I'm 70 years of age now, and have listened to many albums over the years. I have also found when listening to those albums that the deep cuts are very often the best cuts!
Tears For Fears were at the top of their game with Songs From the Big Chair. A great album with some of their best material like Shout, Mother's Talk and Everybody Wants to Rule the World. Hard to believe its not far off 40 years since its release.
I can’t hear this song without thinking of those “Literal Videos” someone did like 10 years ago on TH-cam. They were great, and I wish they didn’t get removed.
Same. The whole band are solid musicians and Roland Orzabal is an excellent guitarist. His guitar solos have a pop-rock feel to them and are really good.
This is the kind of music I used to hear as a kid while I was with my mom, and she was shopping at discount clothing stores. Kinda takes me back. Unreacted 80s Stream! You know you want to, Lex! 😁
Not a trip song, not even drugs involved. It's not Tear for Fears style. They tell stories with relationships, politics, friends, family etc, etc, It's pretty straight forward if you not only hear the words, but listen to the words.
Tears for Fears has been one of my favorite bands since the beginning and they have never disappointed me. Moreover, the last album released 17 years after the previous one is magnificent! I suggest you react to one of their best live track "Badman's Song (Live at Knebworth)" in 1990 I think I'm sure you'll like it
It’s Not a trip song😀. I think by something happens, he means something happens between him and this woman and he gets giddy or gaga or something, since head over heels means ga ga in love.
This song is WIDE open to your own interpretation. I see it not as a song about love but about relationships. What you wish you had versus what you have. Once you figure it out it's getting late. "Funny how time flies." Take from it what you will. It's my favorite one of theirs. Never gets old to my ears. Peace
head over heels = being in love. he's reflecting on that love - how time flies. I think its about the one that got away.
Not so funny how time flies….I was a young man when this came out and now I’m an old man….😭
"Funny How Time Flies" is also a lyric from the song "Broken" which is the track before "Head Over Heels" (which transitions back into "Broken" at the end of the long version).
I know what you mean Big Jake.. I recently celebrated birthday number 72 😎 I may have also had this record on 45 🎶
Happy birthday buddy
@@SirManfly yea im 41 now. I was 16 yesterday!!!
The vocal is actually so good on this, the falsetto at the end of each line in the verses…
LOVE that falsetto
I love all the falsetto as well it's fun song to sing along with it's a challenge! What's amazing is Roland is in his 60s and he can still hit those falsetto notes !!
Not just my favorite song from the 80's, but my favorite song, period. Everything about it is perfect and Curt Smith's bass is just...
Hard to argue with that.
Curt is a monster bassist. Love this song, the bass is what moves it along...
Ditto.
The bass is really nice.
Curt is a great bass player and the bass line in this song is SICK!!! Curt is a great singer too and so is Roland .

Wasn’t it Mad World that was used in Donny Darko?
It was the theme song from Ghostbuster 2 also.
@@robinakym2356 both, although Mad World was a cover by Gary Jules.
Donnie Darko is a great movie and was just on TV last week. Crazy movie. Poor Frank. 🐰
@@robinakym2356 They play it near the beginning for the first school scene starts when they jump out the back door of the school bus.
This is one of those songs that sounds infinitely better with headphones on. 🎧
The production of this song is stunning. That was the order of the day. Tears for Fears, Talk Talk, Scritti Politti, Trevor Horn. Big, lush, over-produced heaven. Perfection.
Whoa Scritti Politti.. I haven’t listened to them in at least 20 years, maybe more. You know who else no one has reacted to is Fine Young Cannibals…
@@vrvaughn Oh yeah, good shout!!
I didn’t grow up in the 80s but Tears for Fears has such a nostalgic sound. Such a great band
@Lauren Lewis Ha, now we found out that those were the days that were beautiful.
@Lauren Lewis Yes I totally agree with you it was such a fun time to be a kid. I truly believe that we were blessed to have experienced those days 🤔
TFF just released a new album *last month* and it's really good! So nice to see them come back. Absolutely one of the best bands of the 1980s.
It is just so 80s. Maybe that's just me since this was part of my intro to MTV and music videos. This was from the era when I was introduced to music. So much nostalgia!
I love having gen x parents who gave me their love of the 80s and 90s
I am seeing Tears for fears in concert in May,. I have seen my concert in the 80s, 90s and now 2022
serious musicians, these guys. brilliant.
This!

Lex you have the sweetest smile and super positive vibes. It seems like you really love music. Glad you reviewed Tears for Fears. They are one of my favorites!
On the CD, following the outtro the song extends with a reprise called "Broken." It's a really cool instrumental piece, about a minute long.
Yeah, to me that's the real song. I've never liked this ending.
@@TheOriginalFILIBUSTA Amen its sad people don't realize they are missing out. also how amazing a one minute piece of music can be.

also mad world and change

This is one of those songs that’s impossible to not be “IN” the song.
Walking slow motion in a movie that takes place in the 80's. That's this song.
Yes it means in love, head over heels saying comes from the fact that when you really like something your head sticks out while your heels are lifted behind
Lex, true your head is always above your heels, but that's not what the saying means. It's like a rolling fall, a somersault, where there's an exchange of which is over the other. There's a point where your heels are over your head.
First time I heard this song was at the start of the film Donnie Darko. Big crush on Drew Barrymore. Wish I had a teacher like her...
Great choice guys, my favourite tune from these guys
Wife's favorite. Mine is sowing the seeds of love. Still listen to and mothers talk and woman in chains
The saying head over heels comes from an old torture technique where they would string people upside down. So the original term was heels over head, and somehow the reserve of it started being used to describe those in love, as it can sometimes be akin to torture.
Tears for Fears are 80's legends. They have quite a few big hits.
I can remember listening to this song various times in 1985/86, either on radio or MTV if I had it on. I missed the school bus one morning in 86 to see the Aerosmith/DMC collab for the first time. I have random, useless memories like that, but distinct ones. I used to listen to the radio as I was trying to doze off. Due to doing that from about age 5 to 18 (I had transistor radios or would take my older sibs' cassette player as a little kid), if I listen to even something like Van Halen's Eruption and stuff of that loudness, it still prepares my mind to slip into sleep. I think it's something caused by changes in my neurons from doing that when my brain was developing. If I do it now, I would usually choose something more mellow than VH, but VH would still work. Recently I listened to a few Beatles' remasters and I was fading so hard while it was going into my ears that I had pull out the buds after 3 songs and get into my fave sleeping position.
Love the "time flies" voice, Lex! That effect, a "flanger," was also used on the drums too, about a minute before the end, sort of an overhead jet woosh sound.
Always a trip back in time, magical.
Great song. Probably my favorite from Curt and Roland.
this song was featured on 'Rick Beato`s" what makes this song great. marvelous. "head over heels in love" it`s a popular saying..

The expression: "I've fallen head over heels in love ".
One of the best bands of all time!
They have many great songs!
From the same album, The Working Hour is a must! Keep it up, guys!
Tears for Fears was among the more serious New Wave bands with layered sounds and meaningful lyrics.

You must mean a relationship like Will and Jada Smith have. 😁 He should have left that relationship long ago. 😄😅😂🤣

Great reaction guys !! 80's alternative was fun times. We had actual night clubs that would play this kind of music : )
Mad world, pale shelter, change and sowing the seeds are some other bangers from them. This is not a trip song but a journey. He is in love but his past is making him feel unsafe or break his heart. The song ends with how his relation has flies by. The song does lead into broken.
Yes, this song appear on the movie Donnie Darko film of 2003
Their music video for this song is one of my favorites from the 80's.
And of course after checking your Loverboy reaction I go right to this another 80s great. These guys definitely had a following.
Can't help but love the look on Lex's face as she listens...smiling all the way, she knows this is love.
I still remember first hearing this song from the movie Donnie darko. It fits so well lol
Songs From The Big Chair had several hits on it. Great band! The bass by Curt Smith in this song is phenomenal!
Lex's reaction makes me so happy 😊 This song puts me in a special headspace.
Lex, this one was huge in high school in the 80’s ! 💯👏👏👍😎
The opening riff on the keyboard somewhat recalls the church bells after a wedding

"The Working Hour", "Woman In Chains", "Goodnight Song" and "Famous Last Words" are good songs by Tears For Fears if you want to do more. I wanna see Lex fly off the sofa during "Famous Last Words" LOL.
Especially The Working Hour because she loves sax solos and it has the best sax ever.

Brad & Lex, I love you guys & enjoy watching your reaction videos... BUUUT...you guys always over-analyze everything entirely too much 💀😂💀
This is the kind of music I used to hear as a kid while I was with my mom, and she was shopping at discount clothing stores. Kinda takes me back.
Unreacted 80s Stream! You know you want to, Lex! 😁
Not a trip song, not even drugs involved. It's not Tear for Fears style. They tell stories with relationships, politics, friends, family etc, etc, It's pretty straight forward if you not only hear the words, but listen to the words.
The most epic song. Rolling Stone magazine's #148 of greatest songs of all time.
An opus.
Next up Sowing the Seeds of Love!
Tears for Fears has been one of my favorite bands since the beginning and they have never disappointed me. Moreover, the last album released 17 years after the previous one is magnificent! I suggest you react to one of their best live track "Badman's Song (Live at Knebworth)" in 1990 I think I'm sure you'll like it
Badman's Song is fantastic, an excursion of musical mastery and for a "long" song always ends too soon!
I think if you could peg the most 80s 80s song this would be a stong contender.
One of the best albums of the 80s. and it's falsetto
It’s Not a trip song😀. I think by something happens, he means something happens between him and this woman and he gets giddy or gaga or something, since head over heels means ga ga in love.
my favorite Tears for Fears song
He’s “head over heels in love”.
This song is WIDE open to your own interpretation.
I see it not as a song about love but about relationships. What you wish you had versus what you have.
Once you figure it out it's getting late.
"Funny how time flies."
Take from it what you will. It's my favorite one of theirs. Never gets old to my ears.
Peace
One of the songs in that movie Donnie Darko.
The school scene in Donnie Darko!!! It's a weird movie that takes a few times watching it to understand it, but its great!! Go watch it!!!
My favorite movie of all time
I love the ending to this song.
Written by Tears for Fears. Roland sings lead vocals.
