Sowing The Seeds Of Love, Head Over Heels, Shout, and Pale Shelter and other must-hears by Tears For Fears. Unforgettable hits you need to react to, Dereck!
CLASSIC, not only for the 80s but for all time.. true melancholy hypnotic beautiful and moving!... Makes the listener contemplate their past, their present and their future... a combination of loss and regret and longing but also hopeful... And to think that cute little boy in the beginning of this video would not be in his 40's!....this song, madonna's "like a virgin" and jacksons' "billie jean" epitome of that decade...
DEAD at your "OMG, 1.45 a gallon"!!!😆😅😂🤣 Never expected to hear this kind of comment on a music reaction video. It was so hilariously spontaneous and out of the blue, love it!
"Pale Shelter" is also a very beautiful one from their debut album.I remember buying this as a 7 inch single when i was in my early teens."The Hurting", is a good album track too.
Roland Olazabal who is the guy playing the guitar with the black hair is of Spanish extraction hence his surname. The other guy is Curt Smith, the main vocalist for this particular song.
This song is timeless. I first heard this on the school bus to high school and then at several weekend parties with friends in California. Those were the days when we had good friends and the girls were so charismatic, real, and without attitudes.
A song that is still today played on Radio Stations across the US, in Supermarkets, everywhere - that is probably why it is so fresh in your memory. ;-)
Their live show at the rockpalast in 1983 is awesome ... And their live show with head over heels for the first time... In my minds eye is that concert name... Both great shows
So much good music from this band! Lately, just before my mother passed away, I was listening to the music "Mad World"... A pleasure that I like to listen again and again with the hits "Pale Shelter", "Shout" and "Sowing the seeds of love"...
This song actually slaps, I recommend another song called Shout. Both are great songs too. Definitely a choice if you want to know more about them. Sadly, not a lot of people know them and it's really unsettling for me...
Not a lot of people know them ? They're one of the best-known bands of the 80s and also one of the most loved, not only in my generation (I bought the album Songs From The Big Chair with that song when it first came out in 1985) but in those that followed as well. The video for this song has 213 million views, Shout 143 million, Head Over Heels 67 million, Woman in Chains 61 million, Sowing The Seeds Of Love 33 million, Mad World 22 million. Not bad for a band that - according to you - not a lot of people know.
During the gas wars of the 1970's gas was a mere 11 cents a gallon, you could fill your car up for under two bucks! The fifties, sixties and seventies were even better for music than the eighties! We are paying $3.59 a gallon for gas right now here in Michigan! I'm glad I don't live in California, I'm sure everything is higher there than here!
Your reaction is spot on. A truly timeless song and fantastic video. Love the Austin Healey car. This song is like my number 3 of the 80s. Great time to grow up with awesome music.
I love the sound / vibe / feeling of this song as well as Hysteria, When Doves Cry, I Want to Know What Love Is, Say it isn't So - I could just put them on a loop and listen over and over and never get tired
I was such a broody tween/teen with their album "The Hurting" lol they made me feel better about what I was going thru at the time! Then "Songs from the Big Chair" came out, much more jovial & so was I! They were like my big brothers in crisis and dance hehee So glad you're in an 80's groove now & then! I had to Google what was specifically out in '85 that was bad... Eddie Murphy DID sing!😳😂 so cheesy! Even that wasn't THAT bad, but certainly not bananas hahaa Thanks for another trip down amnesia lane!♥️✌
Yeaaaaah you finally viewed it ! That genuine 80s new wave sound brings me back some funny innocent times !!!! Great !!! You can also hear it in the final episode of a great tv show "The Deuce"
In 85 I was working in Oxford and once a month would travel back home to Sheffield to see family. Luckily a friend from school was also working at the same place and we would drive up and down the motorway with this blasting out (frequently providing new and much ruder lyrics). A couple of years later, my friend was killed in a car accident, much, much too young. RIP Stuart. For a year we Ruled the World.
This was the first cassingle I ever bought. Saved up my pocket money for the first and last time. No MTV in NZ then. Just a little show called Radio With Pictures. Ahhh simpler times
I've watched two reactions to this video tonight, and both of them freaked out about the $1.45 a gallon part. This tells you something about where we are today
So many great comments on this reaction, and I don't want to simply repeat those, so you can't go wrong with the songs off 'Songs from the Big Chair', and the track I didn't see mentioned that is also worth checking out would be "Mother's Talk".
Can't believe that you've not reacted to this until now???! It's really a classic of all times!! By the way in Sweden the petrol is now 19 kronor a litre which i like 2 euros litre....the problem is I don't know how much a gallon but I'm sure you can work it out!! Love your channel!!❤❤
More musts from Tears for Fears: Woman in Chains, Sowing the Seeds of Love, Elemental, Break It Down Again, Raoul And the Kings of Spain. Love love love Tears for Fears. Intelligent and impeccably produced music that really needs to be appreciated.
Tears For Fears finest hour! Excellent song, absolutely fantastic. They later modified it and released it as Everybody Wants To Run The World, as the theme for the Sport Aid fund raising campaign for famine relief in Africa.
actually it's neil taylor who actually slays that guitar solo at the end. roland relished pretending to in the vid lol. and yes, that was guitar playing that rhythmic thread. this video unfortunately still resonates, with putin invading ukraine. the original title of this song was "everybody wants to GO TO WAR" but someone thought it was too in-your-face so they changed it to RULE THE WORLD. it's more eloquent as a title but the original presages more ugly truth. this song is and always will be BRILLIANT ❤ gotta say, dereck, with this and your reaction to sting's "russians", your choices could not be more timely and sadly, relevant.
Most of Europe has been paying the the of $5 per liter for decades. Check out Mother's Talk, Break It Directed Again, Elemental &, from the album Broken/Head Over Heels as 1 song.
Love watching you discover ‘new’ songs from our past. Tears For Fears was pretty big in the mid 80’s. Just tossing this out there for you Derrick. How about a comparison between Tears For Fears original version of Mad World and Gary Jules take on the same song? Totally different styles make them sound like two different songs.
This song defines 80's pop for me. The song topic is actually about the Cold War, and the original title was 'Everybody Wants to Go to War.' The happy-sounding, breezy melody gives an optimistic vibe to the darker lyric. If you want to react to more Tears for Fears, I suggest 'Head Over Heels' or, from their new album, their first in 17 years, 'The Tipping Point.'
Next ones, Head over Heels and Mother’s Talk, from the same era. Then the beatle-sque Sowing the Seeds of Love and Woman in Chains from their 1989 album. You can also try The Tipping Point, the title track from their latest album release just last week…
This is so bittersweet for me 💔 My uncle died of non Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He was 41. This was played at his funeral as he absolutely loved this song 👌🏻 as do I, but I can’t listen to it anymore as it’s too painful 😢 xx 💋
You should react to "Sowing the Seeds of love" and "Badman's song" I think that these are Tears two best songs, although my favorite is "Head over heels"
You needto react to Sowing The Seeds Of Love, Head Over Heels, Advice For The Young At Heart, Mad World and many more, and their new song The Tipping Point which is about the death of Roland's wife in 2017.
Gotta do Head Over Heels, my friend. Also, respect to the producer, Chris Hughes, formerly of Adam and the Ants). I’d LOVE to see you react to the Ants!
That is indeed a guitar you're hearing, and not a synth. And it's no wonder that this song was stuck in your head all this time. This song is probably _the_ iconic song of the 80s; if you ask around what song perfectly sums up the 80s, this is the one most will answer. And I had to chuckle at "Oh, my god. $1.45 a gallon?" Yep. And we complained about the price then, too! Hehe!
Listen to their NEW hit song, The Tipping Point. It has the exact same groove as this song, but is totally it’s own wonderful song. Might want to read up on the meaning of it before listening as it will make more sense. Their new album (same title) is brilliant, too!
1984-1985 were the peak music years for me when I was 12-13 years old - followed by 1983 and 1986... everything gets slightly worse the further you get away
I considered the closing scene of the video with Curt Smith singing as soft-core porn as a middle-school aged kid at the time. I think i got better taste when i got older. The song has always slapped. Good memories.
![Noob To Max With DRAGON REWORK In Blox Fruits [FULL MOVIE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LnBMOinoOvA/mqdefault.jpg)
I'm telling you.... 1984-85 were GOLDEN YEARS. That mid-80s sound is peak pop era imo. This song is HUGE.
The fact that it's still popular today in 2023 says it all...
This song is TIMELESS
Sowing The Seeds Of Love, Head Over Heels, Shout, and Pale Shelter and other must-hears by Tears For Fears. Unforgettable hits you need to react to, Dereck!
And also Change, Mad world, mother's talk & woman in chain
Don't forget thier new songs
The Tipping point
No small thing
CLASSIC, not only for the 80s but for all time.. true melancholy hypnotic beautiful and moving!... Makes the listener contemplate their past, their present and their future... a combination of loss and regret and longing but also hopeful... And to think that cute little boy in the beginning of this video would not be in his 40's!....this song, madonna's "like a virgin" and jacksons' "billie jean" epitome of that decade...
Once you've heard the opening to this song you'll never forget it.
One of the best songs of all time. Tears for Fears is so underrated. They're back together and touring again. :)
DEAD at your "OMG, 1.45 a gallon"!!!😆😅😂🤣 Never expected to hear this kind of comment on a music reaction video. It was so hilariously spontaneous and out of the blue, love it!
Great song and reaction. Who else wants to go to an 80s party with Dereck. Love his enthusiasm.
Finally a person who enjoys 80’s music as much as I do! Head Over Heels is my favorite by them!
OMG, you have to do *Head Over Heels*, I just rediscovered this song, 80s heaven!💕💯
Love that song to death!
Theme song for Ghostbusters 2 back in the 80's.
I was 5 years old. Back in 1985. I was born. In 1980. I am 42 years old in 2022 Thank God i was born in the golden years of the 80s!!!!🥳❤
who else could combine such an uplifting song with a sentence like Everybody wants to rule the World...
"Pale Shelter" is also a very beautiful one from their debut album.I remember buying this as a 7 inch single when i was in my early teens."The Hurting", is a good album track too.
1985, probably the happiest year of my life, no wonder only great music comes out of it
"Break it Down Again", Tears for Fears, a Masterpiece 👍👍 !!
Roland Olazabal who is the guy playing the guitar with the black hair is of Spanish extraction hence his surname.

Pale Shelter
*Michael Jackson loved this song so much he used its baseline in 'The Way You Make Me Feel' two years later in 1987.*
woah i didn't know that
Their live show at the rockpalast in 1983 is awesome ... And their live show with head over heels for the first time... In my minds eye is that concert name... Both great shows
There are a lot of masterpieces from them...One of the best pop band of the 80'...I am sure you will appreciate...looking for your reacts...
So much good music from this band!
Lately, just before my mother passed away, I was listening to the music "Mad World"...
A pleasure that I like to listen again and again with the hits "Pale Shelter", "Shout" and "Sowing the seeds of love"...

He already reviewed Shout. I hope he will listen to more recent stuff.
@@Reani71 Ok? I don't know that a lot of people actually knows this band. Geez, calm down 😞
@@3anaurv2 Oh damn.... I didn't realize that. Yeah... I hope he react to more of their stuff. They're honestly talented

I love them, reminds me of my childhood. 39 yrs old they still sound amazing!!! You should do MAD WORLD. One my all told favorite songs. 😍 ❤️🤘

Saw them in concert in 80's...was awesome...one of my favorite bands for sure!!!
I saw them too !
Que de souvenirs !!!

I also really like "Mad World" of their older hits
Bonsoir Dereck ! Cette chanson est un Joyaux ! Je l'écoute depuis 37 ans et encore plus depuis ces 2 dernières années ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is such an amazing song! ♥️♥️
Great reaction as always ♥️
Dude, been a long time subscriber, this is the first time I've been on of the first to watch.. you are awesome! ❤️ Love this! Helps me stay sane!
So good to hear all these songs from my middle school days, literally the best time of my life
This is the song I sing at Karaoke and it gets the crowd groovin!
Amazing concert
This was the first cassingle I ever bought. Saved up my pocket money for the first and last time. No MTV in NZ then. Just a little show called Radio With Pictures. Ahhh simpler times
I love this song.
Oh, my God I love This song. Good times in the my past. Thanks for your reacts. I have funny
I've watched two reactions to this video tonight, and both of them freaked out about the $1.45 a gallon part. This tells you something about where we are today
Tears for fears is awesome still ,heard some of there new music sounds amazing and beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So many great comments on this reaction, and I don't want to simply repeat those, so you can't go wrong with the songs off 'Songs from the Big Chair', and the track I didn't see mentioned that is also worth checking out would be "Mother's Talk".

A gallon is about 4.5L IIRC.
Hi Derrick you must do Woman in chains with this brilliant band and Oleta Adam’s you will loose all your bananas to this song cheers
80s Masterpiece !
More musts from Tears for Fears: Woman in Chains, Sowing the Seeds of Love, Elemental, Break It Down Again, Raoul And the Kings of Spain. Love love love Tears for Fears. Intelligent and impeccably produced music that really needs to be appreciated.
"Sowing the seeds of love" je préfère ! Mais celui là est super aussi ! Merci Dereck !
They recorded for SiriusXm this sing this week and they remain great. More than 35 years have gone and this song is more accurate than ever.
Tears For Fears finest hour! Excellent song, absolutely fantastic.
They later modified it and released it as Everybody Wants To Run The World, as the theme for the Sport Aid fund raising campaign for famine relief in Africa.

Nice song all my childhood! Try to listen Rita Mitstouko "c'est comme ça" so weird and entertaining. Keep going on u doing great job. U rock
Loved this song in 80s. ... was a good im out having a drink in the pub vibe..
Yeah its guitar: strat sound with guitar pedals (compression, chorus, delay, reverb) Roland Orzorbal is the guitarist and 1 half of the band.
Would be great to see you react to 'Mad World' by them, a totally different vibe and atmosphere
An excellent band sound as good live as on CD. Check out woman in chains a brilliant piece. Going to see them in the summer, looking forward to it.
Most of Europe has been paying the the of $5 per liter for decades.
Check out Mother's Talk, Break It Directed Again, Elemental &, from the album Broken/Head Over Heels as 1 song.

And keep doing different/cool 80s and 90s stuff! ❤️
They have already reunite and release a new album. First class music imho
S-tier band!
You should give their new album a listen, easily their best material since their 80s prime!
Next ones, Head over Heels and Mother’s Talk, from the same era. Then the beatle-sque Sowing the Seeds of Love and Woman in Chains from their 1989 album. You can also try The Tipping Point, the title track from their latest album release just last week…
If you haven't done it already, and are looking for a french song, Indochine's "Memoria" is beautiful ♥️
I suggest checking out their songs 'Sewing the Seeds of Love' and 'Woman in Chains'.
This is so bittersweet for me 💔 My uncle died of non Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He was 41. This was played at his funeral as he absolutely loved this song 👌🏻 as do I, but I can’t listen to it anymore as it’s too painful 😢 xx 💋
So sorry, I have the same feeling with the song played at my mother’s funeral
You take care x
@@karengray662 💜 Thank you for your reply Karen 🙏🏻 I’m sorry for your loss as well. Sending big hugs xx 💋
Bellissima canzone
New album debuted at #2 on the UK chart
You should react to "Sowing the Seeds of love" and "Badman's song"
I think that these are Tears two best songs, although my favorite is "Head over heels"
You needto react to Sowing The Seeds Of Love, Head Over Heels, Advice For The Young At Heart, Mad World and many more, and their new song The Tipping Point which is about the death of Roland's wife in 2017.

My all time favorite song! Especially while driving my car! Oh and by the way, gas price just reached $8.50 a gallon in the Netherlands.
New album from these great lads is Tipping Point a good listen
Their new album is really good. Very few bands can write beautiful songs as they do.
After years of acrimony they are working together on new music
They've just come back with a new album Tipping Point
Listen to their NEW hit song, The Tipping Point. It has the exact same groove as this song, but is totally it’s own wonderful song. Might want to read up on the meaning of it before listening as it will make more sense. Their new album (same title) is brilliant, too!
1984-1985 were the peak music years for me when I was 12-13 years old - followed by 1983 and 1986... everything gets slightly worse the further you get away
Funny I thought that after 1972!!
As of about two weeks ago they are back on tour with there new alblum . You definitely have a future as a backup singer just saying .
Un super groupe tears for fears. Ma chanson préférée woman in chains
And they changed the words slightly for the 1985 SportsAid appeal to Everybody Wants to RUN the world
Broken please? Love you and your honesty.
I was born 1985 !! 💪🏻
I considered the closing scene of the video with Curt Smith singing as soft-core porn as a middle-school aged kid at the time. I think i got better taste when i got older. The song has always slapped. Good memories.
Au niveau de l'instrumentalisation c'était quand même puissant
Woman In Chains is also a great song by TFF!
The very very best best best song I love ❤️ so much
Try “Pale Shelter” by TFF next…you’ll love!
Classic song ! But so’s the car !! Healey Sprite drophead
Typically 80's, top!
I'm getting MJ vibes, clearly he took the baselines from this song 🔥🙆🏽♀️😭🌼
@dereck reacts ....Tears For Fears - Woman In Chains......you should check this out, you'll love it. It's not just a song, it's a message
Again I apologise for advising working hour which was your first experience with tff😅
Woman In Chains is a MASTERPIECE!
You should react Cretu&Thiers - School's out
You know what's funny/sad? Gas being $1.45 in this video was actually pretty pricey at the time.
$1.85 per Gallon sounds amazing. however.....in 1985 $1.85 would be $4.83 per Gallon in 2022 ......so......it's actually more expensive back then :)
