Curt also has a great and beautiful voice, but Roland's is not only great but he has so much range in his voice, and he can turn his style of singing on a dime. Love these guys.
DUDE I TOLD YOU YOU WOULD BE BLOWN AWAY!!!!! That’s why I bugged you forever about this song. It’s amazing and I knew you already enjoyed and appreciated Tears for Tears. This is an amazing song!!!! Thank you this was my Christmas present lol.
It's definitely an homage to the Beatles... especially the Sgt. Pepper era. There's full orchestration on this tune, and you're right, they throw everything in it and more. Great song.
Roland Orzabal considered this Tears for Fears most political song at the time, having written it after British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and the Conservative Party won a third term. The lyrics even reference it.
@@user-ky6vw5up9m NO THEY DID NOT. She never got near 50% of the vote. Only our ridiculous voting system gave her a majority in Parliament. Get your facts right.
The idea was a tribute to The Beatles psychedelic period, hence all the dream-like sequences in the layering of the instrumentation BUT the genius of this track is how it all knits together so perfectly. Roland is a visionary writer and also has one of THE best male voices out there. I still pray for another album.....
Jayvee.......Please do a track for me...I’m pretty certain you will love it, it’s Scritti Politti song ‘The Word Girl’....and keep up the fantastic work, you are so addictive! ❤️
One of my favorite songs of the 80s, it's incredibly complex, with lots of transitions, but so catchy. And a clear tribute to the Beatles (you can hear hints of 'I Am The Walrus' and 'All You Need Is Love'). Check out The Working Hour, Woman In Chains, Head Over Heals, Change, Break It Down Again, Laid So Low, Mothers Talk,...
YES! Hints of I Am The Walrus is the first hint that I noticed. There is another hint of a non-Beatles song that I can't quite pick out. I am barely halfway through, so I didn't hear the hints of All You Need Is Love yet. I am starting to hear it now. Wow. This is a cool song!
This album saw me through a really bad time. Got my mind clearer. "Woman in Chains" should be next. It features the wonderful Oleta Adams. It's very soulful, very powerful. I know you'd love it!
tuuuuune! i'm right now digging out that album and playing through my huge floorstanders where the bass thuds you in the chest. lovely. Great album and full of lush orchestration.
Love , love , love Tears For Fears 😻💕😍 and this is probably my favorite by them. This song ALWAYS makes me smile and feel sooo good. This needs to be blasted here in the States and all around the world !🌍
Lyrics: [Verse 1: Roland Orzabal] High time we made a stand And shook up the views of the common man And the love train rides from coast to coast D.J.'s the man we love the most Could you be, could you be squeaky clean And smash any hope of democracy? As the headline says you're free to choose There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes One of these days they're gonna call it the blues, yeah, yeah [Chorus 1: Curt Smith & Roland Orzabal] Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love Anything is possible when you're sowing the seeds of love Sowing the seeds Sowing the seeds of love Anything is possible Seeds of love Sowing the seeds of love Sowing the seeds [Verse 2: Roland Orzabal] I spy tears in their eyes They look to the skies for some kind of divine intervention Food goes to waste So nice to eat, so nice to taste Politician granny with your high ideals Have you no idea how the majority feels?

When this song came out, my 18 year old ears were blown away!! I had never heard a song like it when it was released, way back in 1989. It is such a complex song with epic lyrics. An amazing sound that still blows me away to this day.
I love everything about this song❣ High time, we made a stand And shook up the views of the common man And the love train rides from coast to coast Every minute of every hour
I was just waiting for the clapping section and LOL'd when you started to clap along. Man, it's irresistible. Once was watching them on tv, playing this song live at the last Rock in Rio. When it came to that part, I found myself w/hands to the air, clapping along and singing, while sitting on the couch. Just think this is one of the best songs ever, period.
As I, and many others have recommended, "Woman in Chains" with Oleta Adams. Amazing lyrics, vocals and message. Another hit single from the same album, with Curt Smith on lead vocals, "Advice for the Young at Heart"
I was scanning thru these comments hoping that SOMEONE would finally mention the great Oleta Adams! Thank you Roland for introducing the world to this amazingly cool songstress! Yet another elaborate feather in his cap!
This song is like a blending of Beatles songs. The trumpet always reminded me of Penny Lane. You can hear elements of Lucy in the sky with diamonds, I am the walrus, and a bunch of other stuff.
Listen to The Beatles' album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Harts Club Band" to see where the inspiration for this song came from. It is a fantastic adaptation of some of the musical ideas in The Beatles' music. Tears for Fears is one of my all time favorites!
God, how I used to bliss out to this song when I was 10 or 11. The music just used to transport me to another dimension. Now that I'm an adult, the words make A LOT more sense, though 😂
Loads of people do, especially those who grew up during this time. I was a teenager, almost out of high school. Lord, I miss it so! Actually, no. I had just finished college and was 22. I was thinking this came out in the mid-80s.
Stupidly good song. That trumpet or whatever at 4:50 feels like the start of where it really starts to switch things up, and it just continues to get better and better from there to the end. One of the best.
This album was a big step ahead for them, and one of the most expensive to record in history, a masterpiece, you got to listen "Woman in Chains", "Advice For The Young At Heart", ""Badman's Song", all incredible songs from the same album...
I never heard this song before today, and I love it. I would not have known it was a tribute to the Beatles, but it has a great sound! All of the quirky effects in the video reminded me more the Michael Jackson video "Leave Me Alone".
259 to 1 in the votes, there's always THAT 1 person needing to be different. Let me know when it changes to 2 PLEASE so I know when "MISERY HAS COMPANY" ! Just my asking will cause a flood of loosers to surface most likely. Edit :333 to 1
This was several years after "Shout" etc, and has a different sound, not so "New Wave", more accessible commercially maybe, but no less brilliant. It has a different sound certainly from the earlier stuff. Checkout "Woman in Chains", from the same CD, it's a phenomenal tune :)
please check out "mothers talk", "advice for the young at heart", "pale shelter", "change" and "woman in chains" also don't forget "Yah Mo B There" by James Ingram and Milli Vanilli "Girl you know it's true"
Love your reaction to this song Jay. The high parts you thought was a woman singing are actually Roland (the long haired one) he is a trained opera singer! His range is incredible. Can't wait for you to do Pale Shelter. I see loads of requests for The Working Hour and Woman in Chains, both will blow you away!!!
Tears for Fears was my favorite band from the 80's. Every song on every album is hauntingly beautiful. I'm happy you found them. Next try to review their song Pale Shelter.
When Roland sings "Kick out The Style, bring back The Jam", he's referring to two bands led by the same man. The Jam was a 70s-early 80s punk/new wave band, and The Style Council was an 80s neo-soul band, both led by English musician Paul Weller (he's now a solo artist). I think both The Jam and The Style Council had great songs, but I guess Roland liked The Jam better.
Roland Orzabal, (the one with the long hair) has the really strong voice and can also hit the super high notes. Check out Bad Man's song off this album to hear his vocal range.
I loved Tears for fears back in the day, highly underrated band, SHOUT is a fantastic song tioo.i found your channel through JAMAL AKA JAMEL, , who I love, and your reaction vids, I just started watching, but your just as cool man, now I got to watch all your vids, 👍👍👍❤️♥️❤️♥️
Jay, I really enjoy how you are discovering such great music for the first time, because it allows us older fans to re-discover and re-connect to that same great music, that has shaped our lives. I'm having a blast watching you uncover all these precious gems! Keep on doing your thing brother. Congrats! :)
"Break It Down", "Elemental", "Sketches of Pain" and "Goodnight Song" are great songs from this band... it is post break-up of the two lead singers and from the early 90's, but they are awesome songs.
Yay! Glad you liked it! Pale Shelter will sound totally different from this- from same earliest album as Mad World which you've heard. Still check out Woman in Chains and then maybe Break it Down.
This song has always been an assault on the senses. Privileged to have heard it live a couple of times. Their stage shows are amazing and with a repertoire as good as theirs you end up on your feet singing and dancing along for the full two hours.
Your channel made me re-appreciate good nice oldies. Not my generation either. I’m in my early 30s but I heard them when I was a kid. Thanks to you, I am properly realising how good those songs are.
Did you know that Nile Rogers, years after producing David Bowie, heard this song and said it totally changed the way he produced in the future!! That's how freaking great this band is.
LOVE Tears For Fears. Have spent most of Lockdown listening to all their work again. (Including solo albums.) Had the pleasure of seeing them live twice last year, and they still sound fantastic. This is one of my favourites, very unique. Best happy feel good protest song ever. Great duo. Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal (genius)💜🌻❤️
Terrific song, great band. Since you enjoy this, I recommend checking out World Party (Ship of Fools seems like it's always a very apt tune) and the Waterboys (Whole of the Moon).
Jayvee, I haven't watched you in a while but I have to tell you, You are growing in this field. You are becoming a True Artist! You really delve into everything about a song, Your appreciation of the artist, each instrument and the message is brilliant. I really enjoy your reactions.

Finally, someone reacts to this wonderful song. Thanks.
Right?
You said it! That’s what I was feeling! 👊🏽
That's what I was thinking right now
Agreed
Yes!!!!
Crazy how what is an old song still applies to the times of today, right?
That operatic voice was none other than lead singer Roland Orzabal. His range is unreal, the man is freaking brilliant!
He is like a baritenor.
Curt also has a great and beautiful voice, but Roland's is not only great but he has so much range in his voice, and he can turn his style of singing on a dime. Love these guys.
He sings opera too.
Roland Orzabal is a genius song writer. Catchy but musically complex.
definitely brilliant song
So many little nuances that just makes this song brilliant. It always puts a smile on my face
Indeed! Indeed.
@End The Matriarchy And non of them came close to having the singing chops that Roland has.
Sure is, just a shame about his ego!
DUDE I TOLD YOU YOU WOULD BE BLOWN AWAY!!!!! That’s why I bugged you forever about this song. It’s amazing and I knew you already enjoyed and appreciated Tears for Tears. This is an amazing song!!!! Thank you this was my Christmas present lol.
I'm glad you bugged him too! This is on another level to any of their other songs and most other songs too
It's a Mother-Beautiful Song.
Agree 💯. For me in the “one of the best ever 100 written songs”
Glad you did too brotha.
That whole album is excellent!!!
I love this song. Partly because they pay homage to the Beatles but also because it's just a great feel good song.
I so agree, totally Beatles flavor
I always got a Beatles vibe as well
@@robertakline9785 l
Feel good? It is ironic and about the NWO like. "everybody wants to rule the World," but yeah the music is upbeat.
I think you're right, but Advice for the Young at Heart has an even more upbeat feel.
It's definitely an homage to the Beatles... especially the Sgt. Pepper era. There's full orchestration on this tune, and you're right, they throw everything in it and more. Great song.
I hear more "I Am the Walrus" from Magical Mystery Tour.
@@therealhaemony and just the Magical Mystery Tour album in general...as well as Sgt Pepper. I heard it too.
And yet still maintains just enough of their signature New Wave/Synth Pop roots to keep it contemporary (back in 1989) and fresh!
@@therealhaemony As soon as I heard the first few bars, it sounded like I am The Walrus to me too.
Glad other are mentioning The Beatles. I've always considered this Beatleseque and heavily influenced by them.
Check out their song called “Woman in Chains”
Is it the introduction of Oleta Adams, Jay would love her too.
@@ateszonnebeld1069 yes, and one of my favs
@@briandamore4371 mine too
Woman in Chains is a beautiful song
Yes please react to woman in chains! You will love it!!
Roland Orzabal considered this Tears for Fears most political song at the time, having written it after British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and the Conservative Party won a third term. The lyrics even reference it.
"Politician granny with your high ideals, Have you no idea how the majority feels?"
RandomJane The majority voted her in.
@@user-ky6vw5up9m NO THEY DID NOT. She never got near 50% of the vote. Only our ridiculous voting system gave her a majority in Parliament. Get your facts right.
Listen "Pale Shelter" and "The Working Hour" by Tears For Fears
The Working Hour is my favorite. Exquisite.
The Working Hour has one of the best sax solos in pop music. Such an amazing (and underrated) song.
Yes Yes Yes for The Working Hour!
Absolutely agree with you especially the working hour it doesn't get the kudos it deserves.
Woman in Chains will blow your mind
Very Beatleish, and that's a very good thing.
I remember Roland Orzabal saying in an interview once that it was very Beatlesque
@pc anyway, i am a teeny tiny bit biased, TFF is my favourite band full stop !
The idea was a tribute to The Beatles psychedelic period, hence all the dream-like sequences in the layering of the instrumentation BUT the genius of this track is how it all knits together so perfectly. Roland is a visionary writer and also has one of THE best male voices out there. I still pray for another album.....
Supposedly it's in the works...but they are taking their sweet time about it for sure.
@@RandomJane104 Thanks for the info but not holding my breath....if it does come along I’m hoping it’s not as pop as their last one...
Jayvee.......Please do a track for me...I’m pretty certain you will love it, it’s Scritti Politti song ‘The Word Girl’....and keep up the fantastic work, you are so addictive! ❤️
@@BamSalute I would love some reactions to Scritti Politti. I have my Cupid and Psyche album in junior high school.
@@amyk9175 Yeah...great album....jayvee would love Word Girl...
The thing where they're singing different melodies that work together is called counterpoint.
One of my favorite songs of the 80s, it's incredibly complex, with lots of transitions, but so catchy. And a clear tribute to the Beatles (you can hear hints of 'I Am The Walrus' and 'All You Need Is Love').
Check out The Working Hour, Woman In Chains, Head Over Heals, Change, Break It Down Again, Laid So Low, Mothers Talk,...
YES! Hints of I Am The Walrus is the first hint that I noticed. There is another hint of a non-Beatles song that I can't quite pick out. I am barely halfway through, so I didn't hear the hints of All You Need Is Love yet. I am starting to hear it now. Wow. This is a cool song!
Roland has said before that he took the chords for I Am The Walrus, transposed them to a Major and this is the result 🙂
@@RayRay-zt7bj the trumpets.
I remember when Change came out and bought the vinyl 45 at Tower Records. They were good at carrying hard to find 45's.
A person can release a lot of endorphins just by listening to this gem of a song.
It makes me release beginningdorphins.
This album saw me through a really bad time. Got my mind clearer. "Woman in Chains" should be next. It features the wonderful Oleta Adams. It's very soulful, very powerful. I know you'd love it!
Speaking of Oleta Adams, Jayvee should react to her hit “Get Here”. Such a beautiful song.
tuuuuune!
i'm right now digging out that album and playing through my huge floorstanders where the bass thuds you in the chest.
lovely.
Great album and full of lush orchestration.
I can't listen to woman in chains without tearing up every time.
The whole album "The Seeds Of Love" is a blast. Now remember that you "only" had multitrack tape these days, no DAWs or something like that.
My favorite TFF song! Check out The Waterboys; Whole of the moon, Fisherman's blues, Church not made with hands. So underrated!!!😁😁
Whole Of The Moon is brilliant.
So many amazing songs from them! The whole Fisherman's Blues album is one amazing tune after another!
Love The Waterboys!
THE WATERBOYS!!!! They are amazing and I will third fourth and fifth Fisherman’s Blues is such a great album!!
Yes! The Waterboys popped into my brain while listening to this, too! Ship of Fools is my favorite!
When grunge started its road to rule the world, the gods of pop rock fought back with this slice of perfection
This song and album is absolutely class! The lyrics are next level. What a band ! Roland is a genius
Video is first class in creativity as well-both this clip and the song stand the test of time!!!👍🏻🇬🇧
Love , love , love Tears For Fears 😻💕😍 and this is probably my favorite by them. This song ALWAYS makes me smile and feel sooo good. This needs to be blasted here in the States and all around the world !🌍
Lyrics:
[Verse 1: Roland Orzabal]
High time we made a stand
And shook up the views of the common man
And the love train rides from coast to coast
D.J.'s the man we love the most
Could you be, could you be squeaky clean
And smash any hope of democracy?
As the headline says you're free to choose
There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes
One of these days they're gonna call it the blues, yeah, yeah
[Chorus 1: Curt Smith & Roland Orzabal]
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love
Anything is possible when you're sowing the seeds of love
Sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love
Anything is possible
Seeds of love
Sowing the seeds of love
Sowing the seeds
[Verse 2: Roland Orzabal]
I spy tears in their eyes
They look to the skies for some kind of divine intervention
Food goes to waste
So nice to eat, so nice to taste
Politician granny with your high ideals
Have you no idea how the majority feels?
So without love and a promised land
We're fools to the rules of a government plan
Kick out the style, bring back the jam
[Chorus 2: Curt Smith & Roland Orzabal]
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love
Anything
Sowing the seeds of love
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love
Sowing the seeds
[Post-Chorus 1: Roland Orzabal]
Sowing the seeds
The birds and the bees
My girlfriend and me
In love
[Interlude]
[Bridge 1: Roland Orzabal]
Feel the pain, talk about it
If you're a worried man, then shout about it
Open hearts, feel about it
Open minds, think about it
Everyone, read about it
Everyone, scream about it
Everyone
Everyone, yeah, yeah
Everyone read about it, read about it
Everyone
Read it in the books, in the crannies and the nooks, there are books to read for us
[Chorus 3: Roland Orzabal]
Sowing the seeds of love
Sowing the seeds of love
We're sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love
We're sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love
Sowing the seeds of love
Mr. England sowing the seeds of love
[Bridge 2: Curt Smith, Curt Smith & Roland Orzabal]
Time to eat all your words
Swallow your pride
Open your eyes
Time to eat all your words
Swallow your pride
Open your eyes
[Verse 3: Roland Orzabal, Curt Smith]
High time we made a stand
Time to eat all your words
And shook up the views of the common man
Swallow your pride
And the love train rides from coast to coast
Open your eyes
Every minute of every hour
I love a sunflower
Open your eyes
And I believe in love power
Open your eyes
Love power
Love power
Open your eyes
[Chorus 4: Curt Smith & Roland Orzabal]
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love
Sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, the seeds of love
Sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love
Sowing the seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds
[Post-Chorus 2: Roland Orzabal]
An end to need
And the politics of greed
With love
[Chorus 5: Curt Smith & Roland Orzabal]
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love
Sowing the seeds of love
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love
Anything, anything
Sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love
Sowing the seeds
[Post-Chorus 2: Roland Orzabal]
An end to need
And the politics of greed
With love
[Chorus 6: Curt Smith & Roland Orzabal]
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love
Sowing the seeds of love
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love
Sowing the seeds of love
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love
Sowing the seeds of love
Thanks for the lyrics!!! 😏
Sounds like a tribute to Boris Johnson! 😂
Really appreciate this..... Much easier to understand the meaning of the song..... Can't always hear the words...... Great song. ❤️
From one Brian to another... You rock!
You just can’t beat Tears for Fears! Or your shirt. Your shirt-the Leonardo da Vinci look- is GREAT!!!
I'm 50 this year and I love seeing someone younger reacting to songs I grew up with.
My sentiments exactly. I turned 55 last month, and STSOL remains a song I keep close to my heart. It's something special.
How about from their first album which has their 2 best songs - Change and Pale Shelter
I luv "Change"
I was huge fan of TFF and loved every single on The Hurting album.
Are you mad? what about Mad World????
Should definitely listen to "advice for the young at heart" next time
Curt Smith's vocals on that song are incredible.
Love that song too 👍
One of my favorite Songs
Yeah you can't go wrong with any song by Tears for Fears.

Oh my god me too. Still remember the first time i saw/hear this song on America's Top Ten. My jaw dropped and not close the entire song..
Great song. I love it. They sang a moving ballad called "Woman In Chains"
"woman in chains" " closest thing to heaven" " goodnight song" other amazing ones anything from tears for fears 💖
and don't forget "Who killed tangerine"
Erasure "Chains of Love" another good song.
terrible song
I do LOVE this song!!! 💓🎧😍

Such an amazing song. 💕
My sunflower 🌻 profile pic is actually inspired by this song believe it or not....love the message of the song!
TFF is the best! Anything you choose to play will be great.
I never heard this song before today, and I love it. I would not have known it was a tribute to the Beatles, but it has a great sound! All of the quirky effects in the video reminded me more the Michael Jackson video "Leave Me Alone".
To me this always had a heavy heavy Beatles inspiration almost sounds like something Lennon would have written himself.
It was meant to. Roland pays homage to some of his favorites. Check out 'Brian Wilson Said'' for a Beach Boys influenced song.
search for Tears for fears live Spotify, on youtube,its a 40min concert with explanations of the songs
I’d also say that the vocals are very Paul inspired. Definitely has that rounder tone as opposed to John’s more nasally quality.
You must do "Woman in Chains" too, Jay!
Roland Orzabal and Oleta Adams, just wow! What a great song! Phil Collins plays the drums on the studio recording.
Yes that's a great Song too
I love to yell/sing this song at the top of my lungs while driving in traffic!
Love Tears for Fears!! 💝💝💝
Next Tears for fears song :"Break it down again " and "woman in chains"
This is actually quite political in parts. Politician granny refers to Margaret Thatcher (have you no idea how the majority feels?)

please check out "mothers talk", "advice for the young at heart", "pale shelter", "change" and "woman in chains"
also don't forget "Yah Mo B There" by James Ingram and Milli Vanilli "Girl you know it's true"
Love your reaction to this song Jay. The high parts you thought was a woman singing are actually Roland (the long haired one) he is a trained opera singer! His range is incredible. Can't wait for you to do Pale Shelter. I see loads of requests for The Working Hour and Woman in Chains, both will blow you away!!!
Tears for Fears was my favorite band from the 80's. Every song on every album is hauntingly beautiful. I'm happy you found them. Next try to review their song Pale Shelter.
Pale Shelter is my favourite TFF song 😍
Badman's Song... Woman In Chains.. very very good stuff
I was in college when this came out. Another awesome song from my favorite band.. the album is "Songs from the Big Chair"
This was off "The Seeds of Love" album.
Check out...”Break It Down Again”....one of my favorites!
Please do pale shelter or change
Yes definitely great song picks,also the hurting is a good one too that was the first album I bought from them 🤔
Trumpets, French horns, violins, saxophones, organ, guitars, basses, drums,......
When Roland sings "Kick out The Style, bring back The Jam", he's referring to two bands led by the same man. The Jam was a 70s-early 80s punk/new wave band, and The Style Council was an 80s neo-soul band, both led by English musician Paul Weller (he's now a solo artist). I think both The Jam and The Style Council had great songs, but I guess Roland liked The Jam better.
Roland Orzabal, (the one with the long hair) has the really strong voice and can also hit the super high notes. Check out Bad Man's song off this album to hear his vocal range.
Please, "Woman un chains", the oficial video. It's great
I loved Tears for fears back in the day, highly underrated band, SHOUT is a fantastic song tioo.i found your channel through JAMAL AKA JAMEL, , who I love, and your reaction vids, I just started watching, but your just as cool man, now I got to watch all your vids, 👍👍👍❤️♥️❤️♥️
Great one, Woman in chains is awesome too
Jay, I really enjoy how you are discovering such great music for the first time, because it allows us older fans to re-discover and re-connect to that same great music, that has shaped our lives. I'm having a blast watching you uncover all these precious gems! Keep on doing your thing brother. Congrats! :)
And again....loving your reaction!!!🥰🥰🥰
I would like to hear you react to Jessie's Girl by Rick Springfield OR your love by The Outfield
Your love by outfield is in my one hit wonder playlist or you can search outfield followed by JayveeTv in a youtube search
Woman in Chains and Advice for The Young at Heart are two more.....The Working Hour.....so many more.
"Break It Down", "Elemental", "Sketches of Pain" and "Goodnight Song" are great songs from this band... it is post break-up of the two lead singers and from the early 90's, but they are awesome songs.
"Sketches of Pain" is phenomenal. Gorgeous.
You gotta react to “women in chains “ off this album.
Yay! Glad you liked it! Pale Shelter will sound totally different from this- from same earliest album as Mad World which you've heard. Still check out Woman in Chains and then maybe Break it Down.
i love this song it is seriously underrated
If you think this song is seriously underrated you must have been living under a rock your whole life....
Oleta Adams sings the opera part. She's amazing as a solo artist, but also on another track on this album, "Woman in Chains".
that was so much fun I'm going to do it again.
This song has always been an assault on the senses. Privileged to have heard it live a couple of times. Their stage shows are amazing and with a repertoire as good as theirs you end up on your feet singing and dancing along for the full two hours.
The one and only TFF. What a song 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yes, lots of layers and a great Beatlesque flavor! Makes you want to listen to over and over. ✌
LOVE that shirt
Isn’t it awesome??! 💖💖💖👍
Yes!!! I was going to say something about the shirt too!
Thank you
@@turdferguson400 the metalhead in me surfaced😅 🎸🎸🎸🤘
Your channel made me re-appreciate good nice oldies. Not my generation either. I’m in my early 30s but I heard them when I was a kid. Thanks to you, I am properly realising how good those songs are.
I almost forgot-I really like Tears for Fears! Thanks for the memory.
Brilliant 💜💙💚💛I always felt this was a bit like (Sargent peppers) album BEATLES 😊
AWESOME JAYVON
Did you know that Nile Rogers, years after producing David Bowie, heard this song and said it totally changed the way he produced in the future!! That's how freaking great this band is.
Great band. Had nearly forgotten about them. This is a classic gem. Great choice!
I'm glad he reminded you. JV reminded you. :) I think they are worthy of remembering.
LOVE Tears For Fears. Have spent most of Lockdown listening to all their work again. (Including solo albums.) Had the pleasure of seeing them live twice last year, and they still sound fantastic. This is one of my favourites, very unique. Best happy feel good protest song ever. Great duo. Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal (genius)💜🌻❤️
Very Beatlesque
Such an amazing song this so many different dimensions. Just genius. Definitely check out the working hour. One of my favorite songs from them❤
Dont forget hear "woman in chains"
Terrific song, great band. Since you enjoy this, I recommend checking out World Party (Ship of Fools seems like it's always a very apt tune) and the Waterboys (Whole of the Moon).
Ah the Beatles..... Sorry!..... Tears for fears, lol.
I thought Klaatu were the Beatles :)
@@sunshine2rubyshoes Yeah, them and Oasis too.
Dude, do yourself a favor and do "Women In Chains"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you 😉
Jayvee, I haven't watched you in a while but I have to tell you, You are growing in this field. You are becoming a True Artist! You really delve into everything about a song, Your appreciation of the artist, each instrument and the message is brilliant. I really enjoy your reactions.
That song and video is a shout out to The Beatles.
