I've been hoping you would listen to Duran Duran!!! My super top 80's band. Enjoy. I'm blessed to have grown up with some of the all time greatest music!
This was the 80's dude....there was so much amazing creative unique and innovative music that was coming out on literally a weekly basis - it was an amazing time.
The 80s here in England was epic. I miss it so badly. Even my grown-up daughter even loves 80s music. How can anyone with any half decent taste not do?
@@veevamm3642 people in the 80s cried for the 50s. (true story). Not that it matters. I was 5 in 1989 but I have a clear memory of it and I miss it A Lot too. Awesome times.
@@pereiraplaza222 I was 22 in 89 with two kids. I think I didnt appreciate the GREAT music though because I find myself rediscovering stuff I thought I didnt like then. Age and Maturity leads to more admiration of good stuff.
Roland wrote and co wrote most of Tears for Fears songs absolutely brilliantly. There is a lot of pain coming through in their songs and this was from both Roland and Curtis' childhood experiences.
@@juliebowness3299 there was a documentary about them on BBC4 which explored their album Songs From The Big Chair (not sure if you are in the UK). If you can you should watch this as it gives real depth to their songs.
@Linda Stevenson They've often mentioned the dark trauma that they both grew up with , and it's very common for fans to approach them for autographs saying ''Your music helped me survive High School !!'' Nostalgia here in effect helping me to survive this pandemic ! be safe over there for the new year ahead CHEERS!
Damn yeah sowing the seeds 1989! Remember it so well when it came out. Woman in chains too. Damn Jayzee has a lot of treats coming his way. Don’t forget the biggest that has recently been really popular Mad World. Yeah it’s their song too! 😉
Tears for Fears are basically those two guys. I'd go with "Sowing the Seeds of Love" next, which is a little more psychedelic and different but really excellent.
Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal are Tears For Fears. Sometimes joined by Oleta Adams, which is an interesting story in itself. Other members you see in the band are session or touring musicians. Curt and Roland had a falling out for some years but have since kissed and made up and are still touring and making music together.
"Are all their songs this catchy?" Why yes, yes they are. That's why you're getting suggestions for so many different songs of theirs. Virtually every one was a winner. My personal fav, Woman in Chains.
Tears for Fears are an English pop rock band formed in Bath, England, in 1981 by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith. Founded after the dissolution of their first band, the mod-influenced Graduate, Tears for Fears was initially associated with the new wave synthesizer bands of the early 1980s.
That's probably what people miss in todays music sometimes. The built up and catchiness of songs like that. Bands like Tears for Fears, Simple Minds Depeche Mode etc. mixed classic and percussion instruments with digital synthesizers. And finally they had great voices - no need of auto-tune. Up beat songs arranged like that can put you in a good mood. I don't dislike todays music but sometimes I miss the way how they produced songs those days - so different...Simple Minds - "Alive and Kicking" and "Don't you forget about me" are another great samples of that type of sound.
I 110% agree with your statement. In today’s pop (cuz yes shout is kind of pop sounding) they let aside the instrumental and atmosphere. These two elements are key however to keep your song timeless and memorable. Shout is a great exemple where the song take some break to let the « musical » parts to take the lead. And finally, the song build itself til the end for an epic finale (especially the long/album version)
well, kids worked hard they wanted to be in a band, made friends, formed bands, today, they just go on American's Got Talent or Star Search and someone else does all the work.
This song hit #1 in the U.S. in August, '85. When it played on the radio, the volume was cranked! Tears For Fears is such an outstanding duo, they've always been a favorite of mine. Listen to Woman In Chains next. Very fun reaction, thanks you. 😃
The two primary members were the vocalists, and in later years the group was reduced just to them as a duo. Love how you got both of their biggest hits in the same 24-hour period.
Man you had a permanent grin during this one, and rightly so. And you used the word "haunting" to describe their vocals, good word for it. Nice job as always. Rock on! 🤘
Tears for Fears!! When this album dropped, first listen you knew, you just knew it would be timeless. 35 years now, and tonight the songs are on repeat in my music track playing in my head. Songs from the Big Chair album 1985, me in 2021: Shout shout let it on out, Everybody Wants to Rule the World...yeah *timeless*
Whenever I think of Tears for fears I think of Depeche Mode and The Cure as well. Different groups yes, but bound up in the same era with much of the same attitude.
I definitely see it with Depeche Mode. I originally thought "Enjoy the Silence" was a Tears for Fears song. Then again, I originally thought "World in My Eyes" was a Billy Idol song, so what do I know?
Tuxedomark it was a little bit of a mindfuck when I found what I thought was my favorite Depeche Mode song was actually tears for fears...shout.....I never heard this music growing up but my boss/ chef at a restaurant I worked at got me into a lot of music I never knew. Only problem was I never saw the playlists so I didn’t know who a lot of it was. Now I got TH-cam music and I do know more of them now. The smiths, dead or alive, tears for fears lots of great music from the eighties I missed.
The live version of this will blow your mind its amazing how many instruments are used for this song live too. Even after all these years their voices are pretty much the same.
The main guy singing and lead guitar is Roland Orzabal. It is basically his band. The two of them broke up, and he continued Tears for Fears as a solo project. He plays almost all of the instruments himself.
Songs From The Big Chair is their album that has both Everybody Wants To Rule the World and Shout on it. It is an absolutely classic 80s album, all killer, no filler. Try Working Hour, Head Over Heels, I Believe and Listen from the same album. But don't forget Change, Mad World (you will have heard the Gary Jules cover I suspect) and the absolutely beautiful Pale Shelter from their first album, The Hurting. So that is albums 1 and 2. From their 3rd album you have Sowing The Seeds of Love, Woman In Chains and Advice For The Young At Heart. There. That should keep you going.
I can honestly say ‘Songs from the Big Chair’ is still my fave 80’s album. I still have it on vinyl, I’m completely surprised it’s not worn out. I must have played it 100’s of times! I deffo wore out a few styluses, though... 💖💖💖
This was a jam! They used to play a long version on the R&B radio stations. Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal. Huge, HUGE song and album. "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" "Head Over Heels" "Change" "Mad World" "Sowing The Seeds Of Love" "Woman In Chains"- W/Oleta Adams who they discovered.
The whole album this song is from is very good - "Songs From The Big Chair". From later on in their career "Sowing The Seeds Of Love" is a great song. Sort of a Beatles-like psychedelic song.
They weren’t a duo, there were another two members: keyboardist Ian Stanley and drummer Manny Elias who both never get the credit they deserve, one of the biggest misconceptions in popular music is that tears for fears were a duo. Ian Stanley co-wrote Shout and Everybody wants to rule the world and also created and played the epic synth that drives both songs forward.
@@Bobsend They were officially a duo, they just hired other musicians when needed. They stated after Graduate that they didn't want to be in a group again as that made decision making harder, two was enough. And yes, Ian Stanley did contribute a lot to their music, but they were still a duo.
This song is such a masterpiece. Tears for Fears is great at building sonic landscapes and layering them on top of each other. Depeche Mode is another band that did this really well. Great stuff! Try “Head over Heels” next!
Hi from the UK , they are a great group, lyrics great , you feel the need to move when you hear their music , hands over your head and clap WOW ☺☺☺☺☺ .
It's wonderful seeing young people appreciating music from some years ago... wonderful music with proper musicians,singers, producers,mixing engineers. No technical advances,no computers no vocoders of modern times can create the magic of the 80's. I am so fortunate to having grown up in those wonderful times.... Be sure to listen to "The working hour"...pure bliss❤️
Keep going, Jayvee! Head Over Heels is so good. And Woman in Chains! Their early stuff like Pale Shelter or Mad World... Sowing the Seeds of Love is some cool psychedlic jam. So many good songs.
Great 80s jam Jayvee! They had such a unique sound. Really good. Their songs on several 80s movie's soundtracks. *Mad World* so good Adam Lambert did fantastic cover in 90s, and they used it for *Donnie Darko* 🎬
Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith sing. Their voices are beautiful. Check out Curt Smith and his daughter playing guitar on Mad World. She inherited his skills, and it’s beautiful to watch how much she has inherited from her father.
At the end when they had the kids and everyone together singing.....that was back when we were all a lot more together.The 80's was a much happier time in the world than now for so many reasons.
Yeah, I don't think "Hands Across America" would happen today (well, obviously right now it literally can't because of COVID, but you know what I mean).
This song was my introduction to the group and even though it no longer is a favorite, you can’t forget your first. Looking forward to more reactions to them.
It’s great to see a young person listening the music I grew up with in the 90’s.! I wish I could take you back to experience tge amazing times then. No division pushed by false narratives. As a black man i can say everyone just got on and had a great time with music that was super diverse. Every band seemed to have their own style.
If you are not a teenager during the late 70s and 80s going into 90s you missed out on the greatest music and even life... The 80s with the greatest time of my life
"Sowing the Seeds", "Mad World", and "Head Over Heels" are probably their biggest song besides what you've reacted to already. Might want to check out Paul Young's "Come Back and Stay", "Now I Know What Made Otis Blue", and "Love of the Common People".
🥰 Thank you THANK YOU!! 🥰 I grew up with this band and still love them today! (Yes, we have been waiting for a new album for a long time now, but I don't mind at all... Their classics are ALWAYS worth listening to again and again! Roland Orzabal is the main vocalist on the Songs from the Big Chair album, whereas if you listen to The Hurting, Curt Smith did al lot more vocals (he was the one singing Everybody Wants to Rule the World). You should definitely listen to all their works... they are similar and yet vastly different albums. The Hurting was very moody and a bit dark, SFtBC was a lot more poppy (had their biggest hits), Seeds of Love is very soulful (due to the addition of Oleta Adams, a gospel singer they discovered in Kansas City one evening). Then they broke up. The 90s, Roland released two other albums under the Tears for Fears name: Elemental and Raoul and the Kings of Spain (both very good albums!) Curt had a couple of solo projects that are good, but hard to track down. In 2001, Roland also released a solo album which is amazing... Tomcats Screaming Outside. 2004 they reunited and released Everybody Loves a Happy Ending, their last studio album... Although, they did release two new singles on their Greatest Hits in 2017 - I Love You, But I'm Lost and Stay. Thank you for this and the EWtRtW review and I hope you will listen to more! Yes, definitely check out Woman in Chains from The Seeds of Love... and my favorite from The Hurting, Pale Shelter. (Yes, Roland does get hit in the eye by a paper airplane in that video! 😳)
The surge of affordable drum machines and synths during the 80s, combined with the experimental creativity of the era, led to one of the best eras in music.
you make me miss the 80's, amazing music. I'm sure every generation feels the same about the music from their teenage years, but these guys were pure genius
I love when he sings "these are the things I can do without", now a days, what are the things YOU can do/ live without? Can you imagine asking certain people, groups today that question? Yeah.....

Uploading after this so be on the lookout just posted Duran Duran
This is a good one by Tears for Fears, but "Head Over Heels" is so much better, even better than Everybody Wants to Rule the World.
Another good song. Thanks.
JayveeTV love Duran Duran! Currently playing my favorite Ordinary World as I drive! Keep bringing it!!
JayveeTV JayveeTV, let me introduce you to Jay Kay and the band Jamiroquai th-cam.com/video/IRTS9g88C7M/w-d-xo.html 👌🏼✌🏼

It was the best!
The 80s here in England was epic. I miss it so badly. Even my grown-up daughter even loves 80s music. How can anyone with any half decent taste not do?
Timeless classic, one of my top 10 favorite songs of any genre. It has so many great elements to it.
That guitar solo, right? ❤❤❤❤
I MISS THE 80'S SOOOOOO MUCH. THIS TAKES ME BACK TO BETTER DAYS AND TIMES!!!!!
That is so true
I cry for the 80s.... Nicer times
You got that right! Ditto.
@@veevamm3642 people in the 80s cried for the 50s. (true story). Not that it matters. I was 5 in 1989 but I have a clear memory of it and I miss it A Lot too. Awesome times.

If you were around back then, it was blowing people’s minds. We never heard beats like that and the mood it created.
Amen
Head over heals would be a good next choice. Or Mad World.
I love Head Over Heals! Mad World is fine, but I prefer the acoustic cover done in the late 1990s/early 2000s that was used in Donnie Darko.
Love “Head over Heels!” Also requested it!
Both please! 😍😍
Now do "Head Over Heels", as it's another big hit from the same album.
Matt Hintz true. But their rendition will surprise Jayzee I’m sure he’s heard the song, just that look on his face when he realises it’s their song. 😉
Love Tears for Fears! They were such a huge part of the 80's.
Roland wrote and co wrote most of Tears for Fears songs absolutely brilliantly. There is a lot of pain coming through in their songs and this was from both Roland and Curtis' childhood experiences.
Linda Stevenson yes he did!!! He was a Musical genius and very underrated!!! Love them! ♥️
I never realised that Linda, now I'm watching this after reading your comment, it's pretty apparent. Love the video too.

Head over heels is a classic.
Also requested!!
Mother's Talk • Head Over Heels • Mad World • Pale Shelter...
☝️ These are also AMAZING!!!!!
Wow! I haven't heard Pale Shelter in a long time.
Forgot about Mother’s talk!
Yes!! Mad world!! But the newer one
Yes!
Yeah and the album the hurting was great so underrated. That was my first album I bought from them. Great times the 80s🤔
Any Tears for Fears sond is great but Woman in Chains and Sowing the Seeds are excellent tune.
Great picks! Woman is so hauntingly beautiful. Chills every time.
Showing the seeds is great also
Woman in Chains is an all time favorite - haunting, moving, meaningful. The music video is not worthy of the song.
Sowing The Seeds definitely has a strong Beatles vibe to it,in my opinion. A great song.
Damn yeah sowing the seeds 1989! Remember it so well when it came out. Woman in chains too. Damn Jayzee has a lot of treats coming his way. Don’t forget the biggest that has recently been really popular Mad World. Yeah it’s their song too! 😉
Tears for Fears are basically those two guys. I'd go with "Sowing the Seeds of Love" next, which is a little more psychedelic and different but really excellent.
Stephanie Ovak so good!
Soooooo good
It’s even a bit Beatleish. 😍

One of the greatest songs ever recorded!

Songs from the Big Chair album 1985, me in 2021: Shout shout let it on out, Everybody Wants to Rule the World...yeah *timeless*
Shout was their breakout song.It was perfect for the 80's MTV generation.👍
I just remember that in 1985, this song and Everybody Wants To Rule The World seemed to be on the radio about once every 20 minutes. And that was ok.
I remember in '82 going to Marriott's Great America, it was a three hour drive, and every 20 minutes they played Rosanna.
“Everybody wants to rule the world” is a huge statement that coverted me immediately to a TFF fan. ❤️
Nothin' changed somehow
@@mattigrafikboi_gametwo it rings so true,now..
One of my all time favourite songs.
Whenever I think of Tears for fears I think of Depeche Mode and The Cure as well. Different groups yes, but bound up in the same era with much of the same attitude.
Definitely makes me think of the Cure.

@@zwood1838 I think you'd enjoy watching "Bumblebee" (if you haven't already). Lots of great '80s songs in it.
Yesss. I do think of DM and TC as well.
All great bands.

They reunited.
I like Tears for Fears."Everybody wants to rule the world" was my ring tone for years.
Now you see the songs from the 70s and 80s were unforgettable. I really think that time period has the best music of all kinds.
Shout is one of the best songs ever! The lyrics really hit when you get older, so ahead of their time.
Shout is probably their best known hit. The Working Hour is a hardcore Tears For Fears fan favorite, another one you’ll enjoy.
Love that working hour song. So passionate
I was in college when this came out. It was definitely their biggest hit. I heard this song everywhere.
80s teen here ,I loved them &the 80s 🎉 we were the lucky ones
Actually, it’s a duo. They were amazing singers.
The quintessential 80s band. They remind me of my childhood-of dancing holes into the living room carpet with my mom, lip-syncing into hairbrushes.
@Professor Plaid right with you there ! definitely inspired me to pursue music hmm should i try a cover ? stay tuned CHEERS and Happy NEW YEAR MATE!
They were British right
The two that sing are Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal. Roland is singing the verses in this one. Curt sang Everybody Wants To Rule The World.
You'll definitely like "Head Over Heels ", it's just as catchy.
Head over Heels is incredible
I agree "Head Over Heels" is amazing!
Also requested!!!
I'm right there with you!
Head Over Heels is an amazing song, def in my all time Top Ten😁
Songs From The Big Chair is their album that has both Everybody Wants To Rule the World and Shout on it. It is an absolutely classic 80s album, all killer, no filler. Try Working Hour, Head Over Heels, I Believe and Listen from the same album.
But don't forget Change, Mad World (you will have heard the Gary Jules cover I suspect) and the absolutely beautiful Pale Shelter from their first album, The Hurting.
So that is albums 1 and 2.
From their 3rd album you have Sowing The Seeds of Love, Woman In Chains and Advice For The Young At Heart.
There. That should keep you going.
This is when music used to be good music.
I can honestly say ‘Songs from the Big Chair’ is still my fave 80’s album. I still have it on vinyl, I’m completely surprised it’s not worn out. I must have played it 100’s of times! I deffo wore out a few styluses, though... 💖💖💖
Songs From the Big Chair was the first album I ever bought with my own money! I wore that cassette out!😅😅😂
So 80’s... I loved the 80’s! So many memories! The best time! 💃🏽
This was a jam! They used to play a long version on the R&B radio stations. Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal. Huge, HUGE song and album.
"Everybody Wants To Rule The World"
"Head Over Heels"
"Change"
"Mad World"
"Sowing The Seeds Of Love"
"Woman In Chains"- W/Oleta Adams who they discovered.
Yeah, most of them are this catchy. Head Over Heels, Mad World, and Sowing The Seeds of Love are other big ones.
These guys are not just a pop band. They have some musical chops. Rick Beato does an analysis, IIRC, of Head Over Heels.
EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD by Tears For Fears is my favorite song of all time
Mine too
There's 2 singers, Roland Orzabal who is the lead guitar player (black jacket with scarf), and Curt Smith (red shirt under jacket) is the bass player.
The whole album this song is from is very good - "Songs From The Big Chair". From later on in their career "Sowing The Seeds Of Love" is a great song. Sort of a Beatles-like psychedelic song.
They're a duo. Well, you're ready for Sowing The Seeds of Love, now.
That’s another really good song!!
No there 4 of them
They weren’t a duo, there were another two members: keyboardist Ian Stanley and drummer Manny Elias who both never get the credit they deserve, one of the biggest misconceptions in popular music is that tears for fears were a duo.

Every single song from "Songs from the big chair" is amazing!!!!!!!
Tears for Fears produced great songs. Great teenage times. Love it. Thank You Jay stay safe
This song is such a masterpiece. Tears for Fears is great at building sonic landscapes and layering them on top of each other. Depeche Mode is another band that did this really well. Great stuff! Try “Head over Heels” next!
This song is cathartic and full angst at the same time - just a wonderful expression of frustration with the world
Tears for Fears songs I recommend are Pale Shelter and Working Hour.
Please do "Head Over Heels" "Mad World" or "Sowing the Seeds next
Yes I hope he does those two next.
This song remains popular to this day. It had a different sound to it . It’s a song that you love to hear anytime & the vocals were good!👍🏻
Yes, it hasn’t aged at all. Sounds as great today as when it first came out.
Clunky Bootleg I agree, some songs are timeless ✌🏻
Hi from the UK , they are a great group, lyrics great , you feel the need to move when you hear their music , hands over your head and clap WOW ☺☺☺☺☺ .
It's wonderful seeing young people appreciating music from some years ago... wonderful music with proper musicians,singers, producers,mixing engineers. No technical advances,no computers no vocoders of modern times can create the magic of the 80's. I am so fortunate to having grown up in those wonderful times....
Be sure to listen to "The working hour"...pure bliss❤️
Head over heels is another good one by them! Love Tears for Fears and their unique sound. You don't hear anything like it now.
Told you you wouldn't regret listening to more of their hits, Jay! They really know how to craft a good song man 😉
Fantastic song - superb vocals.
JaVaughan, your musical choices this morning are impeccable. Glad you’re enjoying the music of the 80’s.
SHOUT is just the most brilliant "buildup" song EVER ;)
A song sung with passion and meaning. The definition of music 🎶
Keep going, Jayvee! Head Over Heels is so good. And Woman in Chains! Their early stuff like Pale Shelter or Mad World... Sowing the Seeds of Love is some cool psychedlic jam. So many good songs.
Head over heels another classic by them.
Head over Heels is a great one.
Requested!!
Totally!!!
Tears for Fears are one of the best groups to come out of the 80s imo they have some great songs. Absolute classics.
This reminds me for some reason of that guy named Paul Young the do the song called come back and stay for good this time
This was the 80s song! I love Tha5 you appreciate music 35 years your senior! Your adorable By the way, wish I had a daughter!
Great 80s jam Jayvee! They had such a unique sound. Really good.
Their songs on several 80s movie's soundtracks. *Mad World* so good Adam Lambert did fantastic cover in 90s, and they used it for *Donnie Darko* 🎬
Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith sing. Their voices are beautiful. Check out Curt Smith and his daughter playing guitar on Mad World. She inherited his skills, and it’s beautiful to watch how much she has inherited from her father.
Yep pretty much all their songs are catchy lol keep going with them because you won’t be disappointed 👍
The sign of any good song is when you’ve never heard it before and you end up singing along by the end of it, a true classic
The album Songs from the Big Chair is one of the best albums of all time regardless of genre!
Couldn't agree more
At the end when they had the kids and everyone together singing.....that was back when we were all a lot more together.The 80's was a much happier time in the world than now for so many reasons.
Yeah, I don't think "Hands Across America" would happen today (well, obviously right now it literally can't because of COVID, but you know what I mean).
yes, a lot more together. plus you could easily find these songs on vinyl and play them at home.
I really liked this band, had a good run of hits.."Head Over Heels" is a fav, think you'd enjoy as well
Tears For Fears - Advice For The Young At Hear is another beauty!
This song was my introduction to the group and even though it no longer is a favorite, you can’t forget your first. Looking forward to more reactions to them.
This was all over the radio for a few years!!!
Sowing the Seeds. Mad World.
It’s great to see a young person listening the music I grew up with in the 90’s.!
I wish I could take you back to experience tge amazing times then. No division pushed by false narratives. As a black man i can say everyone just got on and had a great time with music that was super diverse. Every band seemed to have their own style.
If you are not a teenager during the late 70s and 80s going into 90s you missed out on the greatest music and even life... The 80s with the greatest time of my life
these boys definitely had their niche in the 80s. 'Sowing the Seeds of Love' next.
Yeah
80s has the best music
Try ABC "The Look of Love" or "When Smokey Sings". Lead Singer Martin Fry is a trip.
Please add 'Poison Arrow' to that ABC list.
Tears are not enough.
When Smokey Sings is a fab song.
Be near me, With all of my heart are also a must!
The Night You Murdered Love is their best song.
Their songs "Mad World", "Head Over Heels" and the song "Broken" for it's guitar and drum opening
"Sowing the Seeds", "Mad World", and "Head Over Heels" are probably their biggest song besides what you've reacted to already.
Might want to check out Paul Young's "Come Back and Stay", "Now I Know What Made Otis Blue", and "Love of the Common People".
Dude, I've got to tell you that you're a pleasure to watch! You emanate happiness.
🥰 Thank you THANK YOU!! 🥰 I grew up with this band and still love them today! (Yes, we have been waiting for a new album for a long time now, but I don't mind at all... Their classics are ALWAYS worth listening to again and again! Roland Orzabal is the main vocalist on the Songs from the Big Chair album, whereas if you listen to The Hurting, Curt Smith did al lot more vocals (he was the one singing Everybody Wants to Rule the World). You should definitely listen to all their works... they are similar and yet vastly different albums. The Hurting was very moody and a bit dark, SFtBC was a lot more poppy (had their biggest hits), Seeds of Love is very soulful (due to the addition of Oleta Adams, a gospel singer they discovered in Kansas City one evening).
Then they broke up. The 90s, Roland released two other albums under the Tears for Fears name: Elemental and Raoul and the Kings of Spain (both very good albums!) Curt had a couple of solo projects that are good, but hard to track down. In 2001, Roland also released a solo album which is amazing... Tomcats Screaming Outside.
2004 they reunited and released Everybody Loves a Happy Ending, their last studio album... Although, they did release two new singles on their Greatest Hits in 2017 - I Love You, But I'm Lost and Stay.
Thank you for this and the EWtRtW review and I hope you will listen to more! Yes, definitely check out Woman in Chains from The Seeds of Love... and my favorite from The Hurting, Pale Shelter. (Yes, Roland does get hit in the eye by a paper airplane in that video! 😳)
I love that, "haunted voices" that's a great description! Such unique, powerful voices and full of emotion!!
Dynamic Duo!!!! “Head over Heel’s”!!!! Love this ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
One of the BEST songs from the 80s, I was 8 when this came out...
ahead of their times!!! they don't make them like that anymore, 80's and 90' the best
Thanks Jaycee makes me realise how many bloody choices of great bands musicians we had back in the days
I know everyone has said it, but Head Over Heels is fantastic.
The surge of affordable drum machines and synths during the 80s, combined with the experimental creativity of the era, led to one of the best eras in music.
Head over Heels or Mad World...
Edit: this was a great song choice... Always loved it.
Prior to Tears for Fears, these 2 guys were in a band with 2 members from a group called Naked Eyes, so they already had chemistry.
The Album ‚”Songs From The Big Chair” is PHENOMENAL!! Haunting Track “Listen” (with Oleta Adams) is a GEM.
you make me miss the 80's, amazing music. I'm sure every generation feels the same about the music from their teenage years, but these guys were pure genius
Please review "woman In Chains", by Tears for Fears with Oleta Adams. Hauntingly gorgeous song with thought-provoking lyrics.
I love when he sings "these are the things I can do without", now a days, what are the things YOU can do/ live without? Can you imagine asking certain people, groups today that question? Yeah.....
Reaction request for Head Over Heels...another great tune by Tears for Fears
Yesss! I also requested!!
