I am a 73 year old nanna, a flowerchild from the 60’s. This group is my favorite now. As I sit in the recliner receiving chemo for leukemia, I put on my headphones and listen to this song and their others to be happily distracted. Thank you, Roland and Curt. Rock on!!!!
Tears For Fears need to get inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame. One of the most underrated, under-appreciated, overlooked groups of our time. Their music is mood-setting, spine-tingling, heart-wrenching, and thought-provoking. Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith are a phenomenal duo! I can never get enough of TFF!
Agreed!! They were and still so good!! Their songs do something special to my thoughts!! The melodies and the song writings were amazing.. on a whole different level!! They were ahead of themselves. UK artist and bands stick it to US artist and bands.
I absolutely love the way at 1:46 the keyboardist shouts “YEAH!” after an awesome solo and stabbing those two victorious chords. It really makes it feel like the band members all knew how fucking great this track was and they were all totally in the vibe.
“Songs from the big chair”.......undoubtedly one of the greatest/underrated albums of the 1980s.......simply brilliant.....soooooooooooo happy they reunited......Curt and Roland are geniuses
Im 50 now and the 80s is like some wondrous dream I woke up from early and wish I could fall asleep and return to. I know the worlds needed to move on in the decades since, and not everyone sees it through rose colored glasses, but what an absolutely magical time. It was all like some dream. Im glad I had it when I was young enough to enjoy it just the way I did. But I miss that time as though I miss a loved one who's irreplaceable and long gone.
I so understand this comment, I’m 51 and I am still in love with my 80s youth, and you can’t explain that to someone who wasn’t there….my husband is ten years younger than me and he just doesn’t get it. The music was INCREDIBLE and even today so much of it stands the test of time.
If time would have just stood still in those magical times. I am 60 now, but I look back on the 80's as the time I really grew up. I graduated high school in '79, but I had the best years of my life in the 80's! I think back on those years with such a variety of emotions. Sometimes this music brings me back to that time in my life and I feel so sad that those times are gone. Some of the people are gone forever, some are still around, but we've all moved on and hopefully look back fondly on these memories. I miss those days...best years of my life!
Nowadays is better. You can listen to all of it with youtube. In the past only rich people would have access to pearls like this. Music is what you hear. The past sucked balls, it's an illusion thinking it was a great time to be alive.
My teenage anxiety still haunts me through this song. I was so in love with my depression back then. So many attempts to yeet but even in death I was a loser.
This is their wonderfully awkward love song. "Something happens" is passive voice. The songwriting here is genius. This describes anxiety, fear, and some anger so well and efficiently. It's the love song for people who aren't players nor have any game.

Back in the day, Curt Smith seemed to get a bit more publicity as the "lead" in Tears For Fears, but I have always thought that Roland Orzabal is both the more talented musician and the better singer. This is not to take anything away from Smith, but in modern performances the mild deterioration of Orzabal's voice - which is obviously understandable - noticeably reduces the richness of the band's vocals. I think it is amazing that they still perform with the quality that they do, but Orzabal's voice had an unmistakable resonance that simply can't be replaced.
And without Duran Duran, Simple Minds, Michael Jackson, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Siouxsie Sioux, The Smiths, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, Hall and Oates etc. there would be no 80s.
Roland Orzabal's voicebox is like a gift from the gods. It actually sounds like several human voices combined simultaneously, so resonant and rich is it.
Innocence? What about hardcore punk, metal that turned into sex crazed hair bands? The grinding depression of goth, nuclear war protest (and that's all just the music). Get grounded friend. Nothing innocent about the 80s.
This was filmed at my university's library, Emmanuel College. The number of hours I spent studying, writing, and pondering there while listening to Tears For Fears and The Smiths, how meta. It was my oasis pre-pandemic.
Can we talk about Roland's intensity when he sings? He gives it everything he's got and has such a big voice. I just love when he sings "this is my 4 leaf clover" and holds up 4 fingers. So good.
The last sentence: "funny how time flies" is definitely spot on! This song brings me back to (junior) high during probably the nicest era to grow up: the '80's!!!
I don't mean to be a spoilsport or anything but I don't think it is helpful for anyone to fetishize one generation or another as being superior to the others. I personally love 80s pop culture, movies, and music, but the 80s had its fair share of struggles and strife. A lot of the wars were still fighting today were born from conflicts that began in the 80s and earlier. During the 80s everyone thought that the world was going to be imminently ending in nuclear fire from the conflict with the US and Soviets. They used to have kids do nuke drills in school. Definitely not like it wasn't just as terrible in the 80s as it is now, you were just a child then so you don't remember the bad, you remember being a child.
This video is such a great way to tell the story about the lyrics of this song- how embarrassing and how vulnerable you can be when you admit to someone you’re falling for them and not knowing how they’ll react to it. Music videos from this time were really something amazing
I've always enjoyed this video because I like Tears For Fears and Ghostbusters. With the flying library cards, there's a similar scene at the beginning of the1984 movie Ghostbusters. Songs from the Big Chair, I have on Record and CD.
In my opinion Tears For Fears greatest song. And one of my favorite songs. I love all kinds of music and I’m a big metal/thrash metal and punk guy but this has always been one of my favorites. It’s so well written. Not overly complicated at all but artistically put together so perfectly. Such nostalgic feelings every time I listen to it.
Funny enough, I would have never considered anything relating to 80s synth pop would be something I enjoy, but I love this song and pretty much any song by TFF. Thank God someone was making good music around that time.
45 here and same, I honestly can’t explain how I feel when I hear this. It’s like all of the hope, love, passion, and everything that was my teenage years is rolled up in the song. I wasn’t even a teenager when this was big but I think it just represents another time in life when the world was easy and my whole life spread in front of me. Love it so so much.
Well relevance, one of their songs “Everybody wants to rule the world” has been used in recent movies like Ready Player One and To all the boys I love before
@@tenrgn You stole the words out of my mouth. The 80's: you cannot explain it to anyone who never had the experience. This song is also one of my all time favourites.
Same here. Context imprint is so strong. I remember where I was and when I was, when this song was all over the airwaves. I bought the album "Songs From The Big Chair" and it became a fast favorite. So many years later... I'm teleported back when I hear these songs. The whole album was terrific. Sgt. Pepper level completeness. "Head Over Heels" is one of the best, up there with Broken and Mother's Talk.
Thomas Shepherd I agree with you! It’s one of those rare songs that get inside you-great arrangement, great melody, good lyrics and he sings it superbly ❤️
Thomas Shepherd: I don't think people truly understand how amazing Tears for Fears is in regards to a genre that speaks from the heart! Listen to the words "Everybody want to rule the world"............................Awesome! Love these guys!
this is possibly some of the first music I ever heard. My parents went to a tears for fears concert when my mom was pregnant with me, and according to her, this was the first song they played and she could feel me kicking to the rhythm. Fan from day 0!
Born in 1997 so I missed the 80s but, thanks to my parents who always listened to older music, this stuff got me through my middle and high school years. Thank you Mom for your awesome taste in music!!
Yeah 70's-80's was peak artistic talent in many genres for sure! These songs take me back to specific days, times and places. Almost as they make those memories come right back to me so many years later. I'm 46 and I wonder where in the hell 20+ plus years has gone?!
For real. My daddy would agree and love this comment. I’m a 1998 baby and I have always loved the 80s since I was little. This is one of my most favorite bands💜💜💜
I was in my early 20's when this song hit the charts. At the time, watching this video on what was then a novelty - "MTV," and seeing that last scene of the married couple in their old age, I thought - "How sweet. Someday, far, far away, that will be me and my wife." Now, near 61 years old, I realize that it's really not "funny how time flies." To all of you young people: enjoy your precious youth, my friends. Hold it more precious than gold, because "it slips away - like dust in the wind."
I'm about the same age. I still remember what I was doing the afternoon of LiveAid, in my 1976 Olds Delta 88 cranking Queen at Wembley. I always thought it interesting that Roland Orzabal, Matthew Brodderick and Jon Cryer had really similar looks, and could have been brothers.
I just hit 25 this week and revisiting a playlist I have made a couple years back, and funny enough I get that nostalgic feeling listening to this song. Its funny how your brain associates certain memories with a song. This one is definitely one of them and you're absolutely right. The last 7 years have gone by so fast. I'll never forget to live my life to the fullest and I encourage everyone to do the same
"Head Over Heels" Tears for Fears I wanted to be with you alone And talk about the weather But traditions I can trace against the child in your face Won't escape my attention You keep your distance via the system of touch And gentle persuasion I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much?

Fun fact, keyboardist name is Ian Stanley and was the unofficial third member of the group, appearing in several videos. I'm lead to believe he was sacked by TFF.
Lol it absolutely can, it's just gated reverb which was accidentally discovered when I believe the drummer for the Eagles played drums during advertisements of a radio show they were on, and the vocal mic which was outfitted with a gated reverb picked it up and someone listening liked the sound. it went on to define the 80s, and is still commonly used today just not as exaggeratedly.

i changed my mind.... this band is not top 5 in pop/rock history, they are top 4. their only competition for first place come from queen beegees and abba
lm 41, and first heard this song in Donnie Darko...a 2001 movie set in the 80's...and now the shit they do about the 80's is garbage...like Stranger Things, or It Follows...
One of the most beautiful songs ever. A lot of people associate 80s music with big hair bands and pompous pop stars, but it's artists like Tears For Fears that helped to define the crystalline, echoing, celestial brilliance of the music of that era.
I know. And I knew back then what the song was about. I still shed a tear, listening to the wistfulness in Roland's voice as he sings those last words. Gawd, I loved this band! 😏
This is honestly one of the most uplifting and nostalgic songs and videos ever. I feel so lucky to have this as part of my childhood soundtrack and now as a musician In adulthood, I am re appreciating the song from actually playing it
The 80s was the best era of my life, the memories I have are incredible, and very rare, so innocent- so alive.. you had to be there, was the phrase to live by. Everything was so extraordinary, and new, trendsetting, ppl trying so many new avenues of everything.. the food was delicious, the scenery was beautiful, and the people were so joyous.. so full of individuality, but still you had your clicks/groups.. I’m telling you, the 80s were something special.. the greatest era to be alive, I mean that.
Vh1, MTV, un walkman, un betamax etcétera.... ojalá lo puedas leer amigo, tú comentario me hizo llorar, tengo 33 Y al leer lo que escribiste fue cómo Rebobinar en mí mente un sin número de Recuerdos tan increíbles que viví en esa época, .. Y tienes Razón, no solo fue la música sino también todo lo que vivimos, cosas buenas Y no tán buenas, pero definitivamente POR MUCHO la mejor época!!!!..... cuidate.🤟🤟🤟
Roland's vocals are unique and epitomize the 80's! This band was my soundtrack as a child growing up through that entire decade! Magical time never forgotten! 🎹
Ditto here. But instead of just my childhood, Tears for Fears has brought me through my life. It is so ironic that each song performed by this band has always carried me into my life at just the right time when each song was released.
As a person who did not live in the 80's (I was born in 1993) and grew up with more contemporary music, there is something special, something magical, a label, a brand, a perfume, a touch, an essence and a history with the music of the 80's. This type of music is an authentic journey of time, nostalgia and delicacy towards your ears. It will probably never happen again, but it will stay with you in your heart forever. I thank my parents for teaching me to listen to such masterpieces since I was a child.
Bro I got chills reading this I was born in ‘92 and I feel this exact same way. I get so much nostalgia as if I was really there. When I listen to it it’s like my mind starts to form memories that don’t even exist but they all form this “80s life” that i apparently can see & feel I definitely thank My parents & grandparents for exposing me to so many classics a child. I was actually exposed to this good 80s era from those old “informercials” that would play at night. The 80s songs would grab me instantly.
@@MichelleNorman-r1q You're right most songs I see in the comments sound substandard but then not everything has to be perfect either as we're all imperfect.
So much of the music from the 80s gives me this truly wonderful feeling, euphoric, that music from other decades since just don't. Bands like Tears for Fears and their music just sound so passionate and earnest, no pretensions, not trying to sound cool and edgy, just making sweet honest music that delivers maximum satisfaction.
Instantly unique and recognizable 80's music. No profanity or vulgarity like in everything today. No talentless rap garbage with "lyrics" about hoes, bitches booties, and killing cops.
I was listening to a podcast where the pop artist Lorde 5alked about how there's these unwritten rules about writing pop songs, about how there's rules about cadence and how words bounce and sing off one another that you kinda have to obey, and I think that opening line is a great example.
I was born in 1993 and my mom is a big fan, as am I, so when I found out they're touring I had to get us tickets for their show in Kansas City! They were awesome, and it was the first time either of us had seen them live :)

I don't care what anyone says the 80's has the best music.
...aside from 70's music - truly a legendary musical decade.
Yes we did and late 60’s. Both full of such innovative artistic talent!!
The 70s' 80s and 90s had great music
I agree and both the 1970's and 1980's had the very best music!
Best music and best movies!! Great time to be alive!! Much simpler world back then.

How tragically true!

Very true, but it's nice to go back sometimes (listening to old music)

Roland and Curt have such unique voices. No one ever mistakes them for another band.
Back in the day, Curt Smith seemed to get a bit more publicity as the "lead" in Tears For Fears, but I have always thought that Roland Orzabal is both the more talented musician and the better singer. This is not to take anything away from Smith, but in modern performances the mild deterioration of Orzabal's voice - which is obviously understandable - noticeably reduces the richness of the band's vocals. I think it is amazing that they still perform with the quality that they do, but Orzabal's voice had an unmistakable resonance that simply can't be replaced.
@@bluebirdconundrum My fav song is EWTRTW so I’m a bit biased toward Curt but I agree with you that Roland was even more unique.
their passion is everything
@@bluebirdconundrum roland was the brains of them lol
curt was the cuter one though lol
Memories of my youth, time flies, thanks Tears for Fears for everything you did for our Generation you left a mark in our hearts
It just never would have been the '80s without Tears For Fears.
There's a room where the light won't find you!
And without Duran Duran, Simple Minds, Michael Jackson, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Siouxsie Sioux, The Smiths, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, Hall and Oates etc. there would be no 80s.
Amen! Tears for fears is 80s!
This is true
way ahead of their time!
One of the most beautiful and melodic pop tunes ever. The Brits just kick ass with their music.
True. Nobody does music like the British.
FACTS
and TFF was among the greatest of them
I just came from listening to some great American music. You guys aren't too shabby.
My 80s goose bumps have come back,anyone want a taxi back im paying
Imagine being 23 years old and contributing some of the best music in our lifetime. The talent in this band is relentless
Yeah. Duane Allman 🙄
He was fantastic
Back then being in your 20’s meant you were an adult. Today it’s just an extension of adolescence.
Prayers for them, full recovery.. Amen and Amen 🙏🕊️
Great in concert. Saw them a couple of years ago. It's like 30 years has never happened.
Roland Orzabal's voicebox is like a gift from the gods.
It actually sounds like several human voices combined simultaneously, so resonant and rich is it.
Very well said
@rollandmabanta1574 Thank you.
All of their songs are so nostalgic but this one… this one is unique.
It might be the most quintessential 80s song.
We are all unique, just like everyone else

Lydian/mixolydian mode.
For me it's Pale Shelter. It's so unique
I'm 44 and I can honestly say that the 80's and 90's music will never be duplicated!
But is that a good or bad thing?
@@CuriousCritter17 That's actually bad. Imagine how good it would be if you turned on the radio and the songs were as good as this one.
I'm 46 I know what you mean.... It just doesn't get any better
I'd say 60-99 was peak modern music.
I didn’t care for 90s grunge, gangsta rap or late 90s rap metal. 80s and early 90s music was the best. Until it all went to shit around 1993/1994.
Anyone enjoying this great piece of Music in November 2024 ?
Always!
again and again
Oh yes!
Lol I am rn
Eu agora aqui no Brasil ❤
I can't imagine the world without this song
Hard to imagine my teens without the 80's video boom.
Matheus Majer it is that damn good❤️
Yep
Also hard to imagine the world without this band
Same brother
There’s an ambitious innocence to the 80s that I don’t think we’ll ever see again. I miss it a lot.
I wasn’t there but I can listen to this and feel like I was. The pure magical innocence 😭😭😭
Facts
@@mel_va_ ALWAYS!! My friend think I’m so strange that I can listen to this at anytime of the day. Hey their loss of beautiful nostalgia
Absolutely
Innocence? What about hardcore punk, metal that turned into sex crazed hair bands? The grinding depression of goth, nuclear war protest (and that's all just the music). Get grounded friend. Nothing innocent about the 80s.
How can a song be so flawless? The tune, the baseline, the singing and the overall energy. Divine.
And Praise God for all that in the song!
@@jaydenmorales5179praise god for all music *
Yes I agree awesome group I remember in 1985, when I was 18
His mom is/was half angel
and the acting too...I f'n love it!!!
80s music still killin the game❤
This was filmed at my university's library, Emmanuel College. The number of hours I spent studying, writing, and pondering there while listening to Tears For Fears and The Smiths, how meta. It was my oasis pre-pandemic.
Omg, The Smiths! I love them!
That’s pretty cool!! They are a great band.. miss the 80’s
Oh that’s cool *books tour to college I don’t want to go to just because of a Tears For Fears music video*
is Cambridge?
Damn that’s meta af
Can we talk about Roland's intensity when he sings? He gives it everything he's got and has such a big voice. I just love when he sings "this is my 4 leaf clover" and holds up 4 fingers. So good.

I just saw them in concert last friday and they're still rockin' all these years later!
I saw them last night in Franklin TN and they still got it.
@@AdamSchlaff I get to see them next Monday in Austin and I am so excited!!
We saw them at the same concert in Virginia Beach too! My lady and I. Phenomenal.
Just got tickets to see them at the Hollywood Bowl, surprising my dad who played this when I was a kid
@@danielperkins7311 Hell yeah, veteran home loans!
40 years!
The last sentence: "funny how time flies" is definitely spot on! This song brings me back to (junior) high during probably the nicest era to grow up: the '80's!!!
@Baris Coskun [Student] Not even close. The 80s were much better.
I don't mean to be a spoilsport or anything but I don't think it is helpful for anyone to fetishize one generation or another as being superior to the others. I personally love 80s pop culture, movies, and music, but the 80s had its fair share of struggles and strife. A lot of the wars were still fighting today were born from conflicts that began in the 80s and earlier. During the 80s everyone thought that the world was going to be imminently ending in nuclear fire from the conflict with the US and Soviets. They used to have kids do nuke drills in school. Definitely not like it wasn't just as terrible in the 80s as it is now, you were just a child then so you don't remember the bad, you remember being a child.
@@jumbojimbo6308 Men were Men in the 80s. By the 2,000s the Pink Triangle began to be customary. It's not even close, my friend. But thanks...
80's♥️♥️♥️
Exactly!!!!
The best part about this song, is it doesn’t get old. It just gets better with each listen.
Like a fine wine with age ❤
i was saying the exact same thing about "I'm a Yankee doodle dandy" it never gets old.

This video is such a great way to tell the story about the lyrics of this song- how embarrassing and how vulnerable you can be when you admit to someone you’re falling for them and not knowing how they’ll react to it. Music videos from this time were really something amazing
I didnt notice the ending before... He got the gal (married and in old age by the looks of it).
Yes, love this video - award winning, no doubt. Has special meaning because the neighborhood Harlem library was like a second home. 😍📚
@@tjmns -- the song is 37 years old.
I figured this is supposed to be them about 40 years later -- 2025.
Hands down on of the best songs ever made, written, lyrically and musically.
The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost.
It's a masterpiece.
best songs ever made,,,u on heroin ?
@@BettinaBalser masterpiece baaaahahaha
@@madisonlisa5111 you are crazy and bad man.
One of the greatest 40 second openings in music history.
So true, and I never thought about it before, despite that fact that I've listened to this song hundreds of times: The hook is RIGHT THERE.
I've always enjoyed this video because I like Tears For Fears and Ghostbusters. With the flying library cards, there's a similar scene at the beginning of the1984 movie Ghostbusters. Songs from the Big Chair, I have on Record and CD.
Absolutely legendary ❤
Its activities 30 seconds. A masterpiece!
Its actually 30 seconds. A masterpiece!
This is one of my "Go To" songs when I am depressed. The music and melody helps to sooth my soul. I absolutely love them!
The song uses the so-called Lydian scale, which has the effect of being heavenly and spiritually uplifting
Same here.. also when I'm going deep into cardio
What are your other Go-To songs for depression, amigo? Two of mine are The Fear by Lily Allen and Love Me Like You Do by Ellie Goulding.
@@williamfoy599 I like Billy Idol Eyes Without a Face. It's like driving home at night after getting fired from a job...kind of feeling.
@@mountainman8775 Wow interesting. Any other songs you would recommend? It would be helpful to get rid of my dark thoughts.
Wish they made songs like this still. The lyrics are just stellar!
In my opinion Tears For Fears greatest song. And one of my favorite songs. I love all kinds of music and I’m a big metal/thrash metal and punk guy but this has always been one of my favorites. It’s so well written. Not overly complicated at all but artistically put together so perfectly. Such nostalgic feelings every time I listen to it.
Funny enough, I would have never considered anything relating to 80s synth pop would be something I enjoy, but I love this song and pretty much any song by TFF. Thank God someone was making good music around that time.
Perfectly put Chris,I love all types of music,metal,punk,indie,ska,& this song is a masterpiece in every sense mate.
It’s between this and Working Hour.
This is your....🍀...funny how🕰🪰's
Absolutely agree. It takes me back in time.
I am 52 now and this song still gives me the chills whenever I hear it. It makes me feel like I am 17 all over again ❤
and 'Change" too...wonderful album The Hurting
I was born in 80 and i love 80s .im italian.
45 here and same, I honestly can’t explain how I feel when I hear this. It’s like all of the hope, love, passion, and everything that was my teenage years is rolled up in the song. I wasn’t even a teenager when this was big but I think it just represents another time in life when the world was easy and my whole life spread in front of me. Love it so so much.
I'm 68 and still love this song and band ♥️
Brilliant song from an exceptionally brilliant album Songs from the Big Chair. Great band from the 80s
Some bands just never lose their relevance...
Well, Tears For Fears did, sadly.
And some become more so.
Well relevance, one of their songs “Everybody wants to rule the world” has been used in recent movies like Ready Player One and To all the boys I love before
Favorited lame
When music was still based on talent
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Every time I hear it, it makes my heart swoon.
It’s a reminder of much better & happier times
@@tenrgn You stole the words out of my mouth. The 80's: you cannot explain it to anyone who never had the experience. This song is also one of my all time favourites.
Yea music video is cute as well.
Me, too. ❤️🥰❤️
Mine 2. 💚👑💪🏻
There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
We feel painful nostalgia only because we are aware of our mortality.
I wasnt even born in the 80s and this song gives me overwhelming nostalgia
Yes very nostalgic song for me as well
Do you comment that on all these videos?
Same here. Context imprint is so strong. I remember where I was and when I was, when this song was all over the airwaves. I bought the album "Songs From The Big Chair" and it became a fast favorite. So many years later... I'm teleported back when I hear these songs. The whole album was terrific. Sgt. Pepper level completeness. "Head Over Heels" is one of the best, up there with Broken and Mother's Talk.
I don't think most people truly understand how amazing this song is. So well written.
Thomas Shepherd I agree with you! It’s one of those rare songs that get inside you-great arrangement, great melody, good lyrics and he sings it superbly ❤️
I had the pleasure of discovering TFF with "Pale Shelter" years before they became popular...I think they are incapable of writing bad songs.
It's perfect
I understand exactly what you mean
Thomas Shepherd: I don't think people truly understand how amazing Tears for Fears is in regards to a genre that speaks from the heart! Listen to the words "Everybody want to rule the world"............................Awesome! Love these guys!
Donnie Darko. One of the best soundtracks ever.
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!
🐰
Yesss
this is possibly some of the first music I ever heard. My parents went to a tears for fears concert when my mom was pregnant with me, and according to her, this was the first song they played and she could feel me kicking to the rhythm. Fan from day 0!
That's adorable !!
How cool to know ❤️
👍💯😜😎
Love it...lol
That is a great story. You must be 30 plus now. Your parents in their 50s the same as me.
As a librarian of 34 years this song brings me much joy ! 🥰
Librarians were always hot when I was in high school. It's a classic misconception to think they were all old and stony.
Hell yeah. Gotta love sexy librarians!
i hope you found someone you’re head over heels with
Having fun isn't hard, when you've got a library card!
And one more thing do you miss the Dewey Decimal System?
Born in 1997 so I missed the 80s but, thanks to my parents who always listened to older music, this stuff got me through my middle and high school years.
Thank you Mom for your awesome taste in music!!
Yea I'm 1994 I'm so jealous I wasn't living in the 80s but thank our parents we get to experience it just a little
You're parents rock😎
94 here
Same I was born in 1992, my dad was always 60-70s country and rock, my mom was always 70-80s pop and rock. And 90s country from both of them.
My grandson and his friends still toss compliments when I pull up to get him with 80's on blast.
Why the hell can't bands write songs as good as this in 2024? The 80s was the golden decade for music !
Yeah 70's-80's was peak artistic talent in many genres for sure! These songs take me back to specific days, times and places. Almost as they make those memories come right back to me so many years later. I'm 46 and I wonder where in the hell 20+ plus years has gone?!
For real. My daddy would agree and love this comment. I’m a 1998 baby and I have always loved the 80s since I was little. This is one of my most favorite bands💜💜💜
because they cut music programs in schools and the music business is run by greedy business people and not musicians with taste.
U got that correct friend 😊😊😊
Videos like this are a Time Machine, I long for a place that no longer exists. 😔
🤗
Very nostalgic 😢
Just stay in nostalgia, my dear friend. That's what I do.
You said it.
I miss these days. Most everything seemed normal. “Funny how time flies”😢
I never get tired of this song. Definitely on my top ten. Never realized how hot the keyboardist was!
kkk mdss
Ian is indeed really, really hot too
Yeah he's sexy😍😍😍😍
yeah she let HIM play with her keyboard!!!! lol
He's Beautiful!
I was in my early 20's when this song hit the charts. At the time, watching this video on what was then a novelty - "MTV," and seeing that last scene of the married couple in their old age, I thought - "How sweet. Someday, far, far away, that will be me and my wife." Now, near 61 years old, I realize that it's really not "funny how time flies." To all of you young people: enjoy your precious youth, my friends. Hold it more precious than gold, because "it slips away - like dust in the wind."
Exactly. I was 13 when this video came out. I tell every young person the same. Enjoy your youth , it will be gone before you realize it.
I'm about the same age. I still remember what I was doing the afternoon of LiveAid, in my 1976 Olds Delta 88 cranking Queen at Wembley. I always thought it interesting that Roland Orzabal, Matthew Brodderick and Jon Cryer had really similar looks, and could have been brothers.
I just hit 25 this week and revisiting a playlist I have made a couple years back, and funny enough I get that nostalgic feeling listening to this song. Its funny how your brain associates certain memories with a song. This one is definitely one of them and you're absolutely right. The last 7 years have gone by so fast. I'll never forget to live my life to the fullest and I encourage everyone to do the same
So true, if only V can turn back time !
Wrong perspective, growing old is a blessing. Some aren't so lucky.

"Head Over Heels"
Tears for Fears
I wanted to be with you alone
And talk about the weather
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
Won't escape my attention
You keep your distance via the system of touch
And gentle persuasion
I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much?
Oh, you're wasting my time
You're just, just, just wasting time
Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out until I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
Don't, don't, don't throw it away
Throw it away, throw it away
I made a fire, and watching it burn
Thought of your future
With one foot in the past, now just how long will it last?
Now, now, now, have you no ambitions?
My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand
Oh, I feel so
Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out until I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
Don't, don't, don't throw it away

Both my mum and dad is born in the 80s and I am the only child that loves the old era and this song is so good keep up the good work Tears for Fears
That 80s reverb can never be replicated
The good old gated reverb. Phill Collins actually came up with it by accident.
@@dave1135 Do you like Phil Collins?
@@relaxbro7671 yep, love him, even from his genesis days
Lol it absolutely can, it's just gated reverb which was accidentally discovered when I believe the drummer for the Eagles played drums during advertisements of a radio show they were on, and the vocal mic which was outfitted with a gated reverb picked it up and someone listening liked the sound. it went on to define the 80s, and is still commonly used today just not as exaggeratedly.
I can’t tell if this this official or reverbed
Back in the 80s, they used to make the videos like short movies, miss those days.

One of the most beautiful songs ever. A lot of people associate 80s music with big hair bands and pompous pop stars, but it's artists like Tears For Fears that helped to define the crystalline, echoing, celestial brilliance of the music of that era.

Echoing, celestial brilliance - I like that.

New TFF songs February 2022
This is honestly one of the most uplifting and nostalgic songs and videos ever. I feel so lucky to have this as part of my childhood soundtrack and now as a musician In adulthood, I am re appreciating the song from actually playing it
and Tears for Fears have a new album out "The Tipping Point"
Yes, right behind, "Everybody wants to Rule the World ".
Me too! I used to love listening to this in high school and now I'm learning the guitars riffs!
Same here I literally play this song on keyboard everynight about 20 times lol
"I feel so lucky to have this as part of my childhood soundtrack" me too
18 yrs old and my parents lived their primes in the 80s, which is a result of me being absolutely obsessed with this beautiful era 😊❤❤.
The 80s was the best era of my life, the memories I have are incredible, and very rare, so innocent- so alive.. you had to be there, was the phrase to live by. Everything was so extraordinary, and new, trendsetting, ppl trying so many new avenues of everything.. the food was delicious, the scenery was beautiful, and the people were so joyous.. so full of individuality, but still you had your clicks/groups.. I’m telling you, the 80s were something special.. the greatest era to be alive, I mean that.
I wish I lived back then, I am 15!
Vh1, MTV, un walkman, un betamax etcétera.... ojalá lo puedas leer amigo, tú comentario me hizo llorar, tengo 33 Y al leer lo que escribiste fue cómo Rebobinar en mí mente un sin número de Recuerdos tan increíbles que viví en esa época, ..

Yes, it does. The whole sound is my 80s childhood!
Roland’s vocals are beyond’s perfect. He’s sooooo cute!
Ditto here. But instead of just my childhood, Tears for Fears has brought me through my life. It is so ironic that each song performed by this band has always carried me into my life at just the right time when each song was released.
This song is a pure musical masterpiece

@@andrewdavis7408 yeah, it's called a typo.
Try spending your life doing something that brings you happiness....
My son was born 87 and he said he wished I had him earlier in the 80s he loves the music from then, and I wish I was still back there, great times.

As a person who did not live in the 80's (I was born in 1993) and grew up with more contemporary music, there is something special, something magical, a label, a brand, a perfume, a touch, an essence and a history with the music of the 80's. This type of music is an authentic journey of time, nostalgia and delicacy towards your ears. It will probably never happen again, but it will stay with you in your heart forever.
I thank my parents for teaching me to listen to such masterpieces since I was a child.
Im doing the same if i have kids
same

I agree I was born in 2003 but my parents and grandparents taught me this kind of music and I love it.
Bro I got chills reading this I was born in ‘92 and I feel this exact same way. I get so much nostalgia as if I was really there. When I listen to it it’s like my mind starts to form memories that don’t even exist but they all form this “80s life” that i apparently can see & feel
I definitely thank
My parents & grandparents for exposing me to so many classics a child. I was actually exposed to this good 80s era from those old “informercials” that would play at night. The 80s songs would grab me instantly.
Tears For Fears are one of the best bands ever!!! In any decade! I'll still be here listening to this jam in 2084! ❤
Hi I recommend a song And video called 'Life Changes' By Robert Nix
@@redskies4530 why?
9/10 when I go to a song recommended in the comments, and I do check them out, I don’t like it 🤷♀️
@@MichelleNorman-r1q You're right most songs I see in the comments sound substandard but then not everything has to be perfect either as we're all imperfect.
So much of the music from the 80s gives me this truly wonderful feeling, euphoric, that music from other decades since just don't. Bands like Tears for Fears and their music just sound so passionate and earnest, no pretensions, not trying to sound cool and edgy, just making sweet honest music that delivers maximum satisfaction.
@@daveydudely9954 I disagree . I like a lot of the cheesy music from the 80s . I like how earnest it all was, it’s cheesy good
But there is also good music in the 2000s
Instantly unique and recognizable 80's music. No profanity or vulgarity like in everything today. No talentless rap garbage with "lyrics" about hoes, bitches booties, and killing cops.
"Funny how time flies"
One of the best lines in Music History
@@BigReptileCrew That scene in Dark Darko was epic! Oh man!
@@MJScoutArchMar So good with that little sped-up sequence with D.BMore so good
How absolutely true it is
Sadly, so true! One minute I was sitting my GCSE’s and loving 80’s music and life and then I blinked and I am now 52! Funny how time flies……
Same here! 57! I'm here during this Putin crisis, wishing I were back in these 80s good old days!!
Tears for Fears were so far ahead of their time... What an absolutely insanely creative, talented band. Mind blowing.
Just one great song after another! ❤
They have great songs, and they translate well into their live performances.
"I wanted to be with you alone, and talk about the weather" - I don't know why but this part is very catchy for me.
Yeah...same to me man
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE... i put it on repeat just to hear that part
The beautiful simplicity of companionship expressed. I’ve always loved that opening line.
I was listening to a podcast where the pop artist Lorde 5alked about how there's these unwritten rules about writing pop songs, about how there's rules about cadence and how words bounce and sing off one another that you kinda have to obey, and I think that opening line is a great example.
Yesss
Tears For Fears are melodic geniuses.
Agreed
Yeah Roland ,Ian and Chris Hughes were a great team.
Yup
touche
I was born in 1985 and my mom was a huge Tears for fears fan, so I actually grew up hearing these classics
So this what Danny MacBride did before meeting Seth Rogen
Damn my mom was born in 85 but my dad was born in early 70s I'm only 13😅
I was born in 1993 and my mom is a big fan, as am I, so when I found out they're touring I had to get us tickets for their show in Kansas City! They were awesome, and it was the first time either of us had seen them live :)
I'm 17 and same. But with my dad
You've got an awesome mom.! 😊❤❤
Funny how.. time flies
Man those piano chords during the verses never get old. This song has the most amazing VIBES.
The bridge was awesome to ….
The outro just kicks it up another level, stunning.
They give me tingles like a good asmr session. 😉
Never get old🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥😭😭😭
I’m still listening 4/2024❤️

Tears for fears NEVER gets old for me. CLASSIC

They truly were the voice of the 80's. Every tune smashes.
