+George David . I. not even botherd.but I do think that tffs version of everybody wants to rule the world is definitely way better than Lordes version. hers is rubbish.
What a lovely surprise to hear this ! WOW, love the deep groove they add to the sound of the song ... very immersive indeed, I'm in love with this version of Bowie's classic ... never imagined it could sound so vast ...
Yes this was on the NMEs 1992 double CD "Ruby Trax". 40 tracks, all covers. Still have it. Has some other unique classic covers on it: Suede - Brass in Pocket Ride - The Model Marc Almond - Like A Prayer And was the album which had "MSP - Theme from MASH" on.
Rapaz o tears for fears caprichou nesse cover, simplesmente captou a magia da versao original adicionou elementos que deram um algo a mais a esta cançao, simplesmente perfeita.
Acho que seu comentário vai de encontro ao meu pensamento. Esses dias eu estava ouvindo uma rádio onde tocou a Original, ouvi até o fim. Sem dúvida o Orzabal regravou essa música com perfeição ele deu mais vida, brilho, arranjos com sua voz incrível. Desde o lançamento desse disco quando ouvi essa música fiquei de queixo!!! talvez seja a música mais bem regravada por outro cantor. Normalmente muitos fazem isso tipo....SEAL!!! já regravou muitas outras canções mas essa aqui cantada pelo Orzabal é merecedora de um 10, as outras dos outros 9,9...rs
Great song, great cover version from a great band...just great! Really really great...and a great vid too, very creative, thanks for sharing. I love TFF and had no idea they covered one of my all time favourite songs from my youth. Now going to find and buy. Ty.
6 years after the last comment I stumbled across this, and I have to say it's beautiful. Love this song, love this cover. One of the best covers I've ever heard, along with Joe Merrick singing Elton's Goodbye Yellow Brick road. Beautiful.
This Wonderful cover appears on the double disc compilation "Ruby Trax" of 1992. A great collection of cover classics released by various artists The compilation released by The magazine NME in these year
This is my absolute favorite of all of David Bowie's amazing work, and to find that another one of my favorite bands has covered this... If this is a dream, please don't wake me up...
George Milne . Yep. Just dont ask gary jules to do it. He cant even do roland & curts mad world. His voice is awful on it. I prefer curt. And roland sang this beautiful.
@@tinajaneoxnam.8866i saw TFF in concert, touring for Seeds Of Love back in the day and that concert was so brilliant. Roland's vocals were perfect and the band was amazing. I truly believe Roland is the musical genius/leader of TFF.
this is what happens when i delve into tff too much to a point where they even got to *cover* my all time fav and his song. i'm not crying i just have tears in my eyes
Jake the Playstation Gamer that's cos bands like tears for fears sounds cool with it but I bet lorde gary jules would be crap at it. They can't even do everybody wants to rule the world & mad world. Well actually I'm saying that gary did mad world lovely but than lordes version of everybody wants to rule the world. . But I do love curt & rolands version. He did ashes to ashes gorgeous. Roland I ment obviously.
In the book that came with the TFF,s B-sides compilation back in 1995, it's said that TFF were requested to choose a song/artist from a certain catalogue, and David Bowie was their go-to choice.
OK cover. As Roland once mentioned, this cover is rather a carbon copy of the original. After many failed attempts at recording it with a distinctive TFF sound, they at last settled for this version.
Do you remember a guy that's been In such an early song? I've heard a rumour from Ground Control Oh no, don't say it's true! They got a message from the Action Man "I'm happy, hope you're happy too I've loved all I've needed, love Sordid details following" The shrieking of nothing is killing Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis And I ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair But I'm hoping to kick but this planet is glowing Ashes to ashes and funk to funky We know Major Tom's a junkie Strung out in heaven's high Hitting an all-time low Time and again I tell myself I'll stay clean tonight But the little green wheels are following me Oh no, not again I'm stuck with a valuable friend "I'm happy, hope you're happy too" One flash of light But no smoking pistol I've never done good things I've never done bad things I never did anything out of the blue, woh-oh-oh Want an axe to break the ice Wanna come down right now Ashes to ashes, funk to funky We know Major Tom's a junkie Strung out in heaven's high Hitting an all-time low My mama said to get things done You'd better not mess with Major Tom My mama said to get things done You'd better not mess with Major Tom My mama said to get things done You'd better not mess with Major Tom My mama said to get things done You'd better not mess with Major Tom
One of the things I love so much about this is that they kept the solo in the end, my favorite part of the song. Unless I'm wrong, I think I hear a couple wrong notes, but the cover is still amazing!
He was the soundtrack to my life from pre-teen till now at 58. I loved him and his music. His lyrics could take me completely away from all my hassles and worries. God bless him.
Actually, those words right from the writings of Roland himself in the booklet of the album where that song appears. What i Do believe is that is a better recording sound that Bowie's original.
Cheers mate, it originally showed up on NME's "Ruby Trax" comp in 1992. There are loads of great covers on it, if you don't have it by now you should track it down.
The diversity of airtists paying cover tributes to David in the wake of his untimely death 3 years ago is extrodinary and just goes to show how AMAZINGLY influential and revered he was! To name a "few" : Elton John, Smashing Pumpkins, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Duran Duran, Joe Sumner (Sting's son), Mr Hudson, Def Leopard, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Michael Stipe, Melissa Etheridge, Green Day, Spandau Ballet, U2, Tears For Fears, Lorde, Fishbone (Lead singer- Angelo), Lady GaGa, Culture Club and Rob Thomas are but a few of the MANY MORE! Suprisingly Bryan Ferry (RoxyMusic frontman and Bowie's contemporary/friend has not..to my knowledge) But BY FAR the most STUNNING and hauntingly amazing cover (IMHO) was Sting's live version of "Blackstar" - Bowie's swan song from his final album - "Lazarus!" Perhaps the closest we will ever get to seeing Bowie perform it live! It was SO BRILLIANT AND CHILLING..it was as if Sting was channeling Bowie's spirit!! No exaggeration..and I do not say that lightly..it was just THAT good! R.I.P. David Jones!!
Do you remember a guy that's been In such an early song I've heard a rumor from Ground Control Oh no, don't say it's true They got a message from the Action Man "I'm happy, hope you're happy too I've loved all I've needed to love Sordid details following" The shrieking of nothing is killing Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing Ashes to ashes, funk to funky We know Major Tom's a junkie Strung out in heaven's high Hitting an all-time low Time and again I tell myself I'll stay clean tonight But the little green wheels are following me Oh no, not again I'm stuck with a valuable friend "I'm happy, hope you're happy too" One flash of light but no smoking pistol I never done good things I never done bad things I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh Want an axe to break the ice Wanna come down right now Ashes to ashes, funk to funky We know Major Tom's a junkie Strung out in heaven's high Hitting an all-time low My mother said to get things done You'd better not mess with Major Tom
Tears for Fears are working on new material now in LA for release in 2014 I am speculating. This will be their first new studio album in 10 years but they still tour constantly and put on an AMAZING show!
one of the best covers of all time by a great band. they breath new life into this song. I love it !
One of my absolute favorite bands covering my favorite Bowie tune.
RIP Mr. Bowie.
💯💯👋👋
I echo your words. Same here!
It's less a covder, but more a hommage, cause it's close as possible to the original. That's the difference...
Love this song, love this version. Roland has always been underrated vocally.
ZakSaaflondon . I like this version.
Beautiful cover of one of Bowie's best creations.
Tuan Jim. Yeah I agree with you. I love Rolands deep voice. It's very strong.
It sounds like Bowie is in there in the background
Rest In Peace David Bowie. Rest In Peace Steve Strange. The influence you had over British artists of the 1980's is immeasurable.
+Dan Najera hear that !! definitely an influence on my own puruits in music !! strong cover by one of the greats as well RIP mr Bowie !!
Oh when its strange babe , and such a lonely way ..................
Yeah .r.i.p. David Bowie.
A big Bowie fan in the 70s.. big TFF fan in 80s this explains why both spoke to me so much... love both...
Two favorites of mine, Roland Orzabal + David Bowie = perfection
Best remake from one of David Bowie's classics!!!
By far ^^^
+George David . I. not even botherd.but I do think that tffs version of everybody wants to rule the world is definitely way better than Lordes version. hers is rubbish.
The BEST cover of this song !
An amazing work by two of my most beloved artists!!
What a lovely surprise to hear this ! WOW, love the deep groove they add to the sound of the song ... very immersive indeed, I'm in love with this version of Bowie's classic ... never imagined it could sound so vast ...
I like this. Sounds like Bowie in certain sections of the song. What a nice celebration of Bowie.

I like the clear lyrics on this.. Head over heels with this
roland's voice compliments the instrumental so well. why am i so emotional? - i don't know this is beautiful
Some of the best rock, pop and electronica seems to always com from England! Fantastic cover, just perfect!
Yep! After the germans started this genre...
Great song, great cover version from a great band...just great! Really really great...and a great vid too, very creative, thanks for sharing. I love TFF and had no idea they covered one of my all time favourite songs from my youth. Now going to find and buy. Ty.
In fact NO one can sing a Bowie song BETTER than the master. But here? Idont know. It is great!
Purer Zufall . Rolands cool.
Ho happy, hope you happy too...
Fantastic cover !! Great Tears for Fears ....
good job guy , tears for fears respect totally Bowie with this version

Wonderfull voice,i'm still waiting their new album...
What can you say? Bravo, BRAVO!
Great cover , forever and ever David Bowie, thanks for making this world more enjoyable with your art. Thanks.
Perfect indeed, what else can i say. This song is one of my favorites of all time.
Minha música predileta do David Bowie... Ficou perfeita com Tears for Fears.... Sensacional!
Great Song! Great Band!!!
Bowie's original is better, but this is a damned respectable tribute.
8/10.
actually probably one of the best tribute cover ever made
@@Luigilr I agree
I like this more
Questo brano è qualcosa di stupendo ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
OK, last comment, but this is so incredible it makes my stomach churn. I was surprised Bowie's passing had such a hard core effect on me.

excelente cover de Tears for Fears, de una de las mas bellas canciones de David Bowie
Best cover of the best song ever.
if any band could do a bowie song justice it's tears for fears. superb.
George Milne . Yep. Just dont ask gary jules to do it. He cant even do roland & curts mad world. His voice is awful on it. I prefer curt. And roland sang this beautiful.

Bands today don't even realize how far back their roots go, Mott the Hoople, Bowie, T for F. Just an amazing cover of a timeless song.
WOW...GREAT COVER....ROLAND SING LIKE BOWIE..
GOOD MEMORIES
Excellent cover!
My favorite David Bowie song......... greetings of Peru...
Vaya que bien!! Muy buena versión con las voces de este dúo de magníficos intérpretes y músicos. 👍🙌
ashes to ashes version tears for fears,ça c'est une pépite,c'est super bien fait.
jolie trouvaille.
this is what happens when i delve into tff too much to a point where they even got to *cover* my all time fav and his song.
i'm not crying i just have tears in my eyes
See, even bands like tears for fears found influence from David Bowie. it shows what he meant to the music world.
Jake the Playstation Gamer Bowie meant a lot. To a lot of people. He is missed. :(
Jake the Playstation Gamer that's cos bands like tears for fears sounds cool with it but I bet lorde gary jules would be crap at it. They can't even do everybody wants to rule the world & mad world. Well actually I'm saying that gary did mad world lovely but than lordes version of everybody wants to rule the world. . But I do love curt & rolands version. He did ashes to ashes gorgeous. Roland I ment obviously.
Steve Smith . Any relation to curt smith. Haha!. No I'm kidding . Anyway I agree with you.
In the book that came with the TFF,s B-sides compilation back in 1995, it's said that TFF were requested to choose a song/artist from a certain catalogue, and David Bowie was their go-to choice.
he MASTERED this complex piece of art. is wonderful
Ficou sensacional esse cover
fucking hell im addicted to this, bowie version is my fave song this definitely does it justice the guitar licks sound siiickk
The TWIN.... perfect. Strange, this was in my head two days past.
Besos para ti Roland 😚.....me derrito ante tu voz!
Excelente músico y vocalista
Worth of Bowie. Respectful and amazing.
The best cover of this song I have ever heard...
Yes - and there have been some very good ones.
Excelent version!!
Bowie would be proud of this ♡
I'm sure, he knew this version...
Wonderful remake of my favorite Video and song from MR. BOWIE🎬🎼🎼🎼🎼
OK cover. As Roland once mentioned, this cover is rather a carbon copy of the original. After many failed attempts at recording it with a distinctive TFF sound, they at last settled for this version.
Yep...
Tend to agree; I like TTF, Bowie and this song, but this cover is a bit too close to the original to be really worth the effort
aujourd8 .well its a good job they did do a carbon copy of it as it would probly sound awful the tears for fears way.
ChrisInTheNorth well of course what did you expect a heavy metal or a rap version.
when was it recorded?
historic music!
So great covering !!
Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song?
I've heard a rumour from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true!
They got a message from the Action Man
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all I've needed, love
Sordid details following"
The shrieking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis
And I ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
But I'm hoping to kick but this planet is glowing
Ashes to ashes and funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low
Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too"
One flash of light
But no smoking pistol
I've never done good things
I've never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-oh-oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low
My mama said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
My mama said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
My mama said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
My mama said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
Well I never who would of thought this existed? Good job.
Perfeita!
Wow, incredible cover! ❤
only thing I love better than Bowie is Roland Orzabal. I'm glad he stayed so true to the original. First few lines I thought it WAS Bowie! Thanks.
Incredible. Perfection.
REST IN PEACE BOWIE,,,,
Bloody Brilliant cover.. Tff. Super band. 2022. 🇬🇧
Very nice interpretation. RESPECT.
Excellent cover by Roland Orzabal of TFF
This one sneaked by time-quite a good version-true to the tune
Great cover
Brilliant , can't wait to see tears in 2018.
Replicating the unique keyboard and guitar is a challenge. I guess they just were up to the challenge.
IN MEMORY OF BOWIE,,,,REST IN PEACE....
One of the things I love so much about this is that they kept the solo in the end, my favorite part of the song. Unless I'm wrong, I think I hear a couple wrong notes, but the cover is still amazing!
Wow! Glad I found this! Never knew it existed! Where can I buy it??
This song is from the TFF album Saturnine, Martial & Lunatic. 1993 I think.
1996
@@Chamindrums 1992
I love this song by David Bowie.Love Tears for fears
ricardo alfredo Del Busto Guerrero . Same here. Cool.
ricardo alfredo Del Busto Guerrero . Snap . This is my favourite bowie song . Ive always liked it thats why im chuffed that roland & curt it.☺👍🎸🎵🎧🎤🎶
Whoops! Sorry i missed out coverdit.
I can't believe he's gone.
He was the soundtrack to my life from pre-teen till now at 58. I loved him and his music. His lyrics could take me completely away from all my hassles and worries. God bless him.
tammas2000 I'm only thirteen, but I completely agree with what you're saying. Artists like Bowie truly did change the world
I will not call this a Cover because it's just as Good as the Original.
Actually, those words right from the writings of Roland himself in the booklet of the album where that song appears. What i Do believe is that is a better recording sound that Bowie's original.

Very Very Very Very good voice orzabal 🥰
Love this song ❤️
Very good cover of the original, it sounds more polished in terms of vocals, but Bowe's version has more character.
Its on Saturnine Martial and Lunatic btw. A Roland Orzabal B side and outakes album

excellent cover, but the original version of Bowie is the best :D
Best music of Bowie.
No doubt...
Omg, two of my favourite artists combined! (TFF and Bowie)
