I'm 57 and I still can't listen to this song without getting tears in my eyes and choked up. It's the most spiritual and passionate song I've ever heard. It's beautiful, melodic and has so much meaning to me (I got out of a very bad marriage because of this song). I just simply get lost in it... soooooooo good. My top 5 favorite songs of all time. TFF, top 3 fave bands of mine EVER!!! oxoxoxoxox TFF
What makes this song so amazing is the haunting melodies and harmonies. This is Tears for Fears at their absolute apex. I listen to this all the time and I keep hearing more nuance in each listen. Just so powerful and melodic.
I've just started appreciating this song. I just saw the video and found myself in tears. So many of us relate, sadly. A beautiful. Truthful. Timeless, song.
I agree. I've liked this song since I was a toddler. My dad told me when I was around 2-3 I would say chains when I wanted him to play it. I apparently found it calming, and only now do I understand the meaning. Sfill a banger.
I can't figure out the video but I think it's two people in love and it looks like the man is very frustrated that he can't pull his girl out of the digs that she does. He seems angry more at himself that he can't take care of her. That's my take but ya, it's a beautiful video and song that will last out the ages of time to peeps like you and me. God bless you.
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! This song in particular is one of my personal favorites by TFF with its profound message and captivating tone. Gives me the chills every time I hear it.
@bleep77 agreed fully they were in fact really huge during the late 80's at the height of their fame and many artists have acknowledged them as influences and covered some of their hits . I actually believe even ERIC CLAPTON said this is one of the most beautiful songs he had ever heard , we definitely need music and nostalgia like this during these hard times Be safe tonight CHEERS.
This is arguably the best song they ever wrote. It feels like the zenith of what they were after sound wise and it aligns with the darker areas they often went to lyrically. Also, the modulation at 4:43 is so crucial to the lift of this song. It is so big and so wide. I don’t know who’s idea that was but it just sends the song out into the stratosphere.
Well said. It's the emotional payoff of the song...Roland keening, "So free her" over and over is what the entire track builds up to, and when it hits you feel it in your heart.
This is in my "best song ever" box. Any song, any artist. Always loved that modulation time too. Just something about it sparks that tear in the corner of your eye feeling. Masterpiece.
I heard Roland take about the inspiration for this song. It's about the abuse his mother suffered at the hands of his father. Domestic abuse was part of his childhood, sadly. Such a beautiful song, Roland.
Great song to crank up loud! Oleta is killing on this one. They were the masters of restraint putting air to breathe in their songs. But turn them up and there is so much stuff you never even knew was there. BIG love.
Ohhh my Lord. I had the audio tape of this wonderful album. No need to hear this beautiful song so much to cry and fall in tears almost every time. I miss real music like those. Peace 😇 ❤️ 🙏 😇 ❤️ 🙏
I got to listen to this CD for the first time right after turning 59 years old, and even before the halfway mark of this song I had tears in my eyes. this song is absolute truth. I wish I had a woman I could love and be there for, but it never happened, and now I'm too old. but what a powerful song !! tears for fears where the best 80s band without a doubt. I'm going to have to check out their more recent work now, because I have a feeling it's just as good if not better.
Oleta Adams has one of the finest voices of a female vocalist I have heard. I have loved her voice most of my life, and she perfectly compliments the voices of Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal. The Live version of this is incredible!
My Father showed me this song when I was 17. He told me my mother was in a abusive relationship with another man before him. Told me to always nurture women and care for them just as Christ cared for the church. He was crying when he told me that story. Thanks Dad.
Oh, God, what a duet!... *Tears For Fears* vocalist *Roland Orzabal De La Quintana* is really a *great great singer* but, without Oleta Adams, this song wouldn't be what it is. It's simply marvelous!...
We are moving away from real human feelings. Now we are told what to think, how to feel, how to proper and correct. No place for passion, human errors, real compassion and true regret.
WOMAN IN CHAINS IN MY OPINION IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIMES. IT WAS RELEASE IN THE YEAR OF 1988 BY THE GREAT BRITISH DUO TEARS FOR FEARS WITH THE UNBELEAVABLE COLABORATION OF MRS. OLETTA ADAMS. HOW MANY YOUTH MEMORIES...........................
Odd I always thought it was in the 90's it was released. It definitely feels more of a 90's song than an 80's, Especially during that 89-91 acoustic sound that was very popular.
@@hephzbah1130 Yes it is very powerful and has a lot more meaning then just domestic violence and battered women abuse. TFF were way ahead of their time!
Just the other day my daughter said dad you were so lucky to grow up in the 80's the music was incredible.She is 23 and loves the music and the passion I have passed down to her.
We are all this song. Our fears, struggles, dreams, frustrations, ups and downs, pain, courage, the search for peace, success and love. There are millions of great compositions but this piece is a timeless work of art. The elements perfectly located, with the perfect presence and with the perfect purpose. When I heard it for the first time, I went into some kind of catatonic state and wondered "Did I just hear the most perfect song ever?" This is one of the most atmospheric and sonic songs I've ever heard; the sound, the mix, its evolution, its history, its outcome. It's just perfect.
My sister's went to high school with Oleta Adams my sister said Oleta was a very nice person its nice to see someone from my hometown make it in the buisness its a hard road to the top the struggle is real but im glad she made it best wishes to Oleta who is proof " To Never Give up and follow your dreams "
This song held my hand and gave me a warm embrace when my Dad was battling cancer and eventually died 10 months after battling it. while I just gave birth to my first born last year. And my Dad never even got to see or hold his 5 week old grandchild in the flesh. This song reminds me of those phases that I went through and somehow helped me cope with that sudden loss. its not even a song he usually listens to, but this reminds me of the time of his death. This song was like a therapist where I can show raw emotions while listening to it. Still listening to this treasure of a song whenever I think about him.Man, I can count the songs that reminded me of him.But this song will always remain special.I miss my Dad Always. Beautiful song, wonderfully arranged. Definitely one of my favourites. Sticks to the heart for years to come. Thank You, Tears for Fears for this wonderful gift of your music.
it resonate with you so much because you were essentially a "woman in chains" in the sense you felt helpless that you couldnt do anything to help your dad,,,,,,,,,,,,,at least thats my take on it! see some of us MEN do have a sensitive emphathetic side ;)
ger bear i guess you are right in that sense. And yes, Men do have an empathetic side. Not just women. We’re all human after all. With Feelings and all that jazz :-)
Ok I heard this song play randomly on Spotify. I'm 48 years old and this is the first time I heard it. It's freaking beautiful! I always loved Tears For Fears. I listened to the radio all the time but never heard this! Time and music went by but their voices are timeless! I recognized them right away as soon as they started to sing. Let me tell you my jaw dropped. Oleta Adams (what??!) makes this so very powerful! Damn they don't make music like this anymore! These voices are the perfect melodic blend.
I'm one of those people that never gave their stuff past the first two albums a chance because I wanted more of that 80's synth sound, but I'm really starting to appreciate this. It's beautiful
Lol same here especially Songs From The Big Chair but after I heard this whole album it was stunning production no wonder it took 4 years to make...album wise TFF have 4 of the greatest albums in music history!
I love the comments of people having the strength to leave an abusive relationship from these lyrics. ❤️ I also think one of the brilliant things about this song is how three-dimensional they make the abuse by empathizing with- but not excusing- the ultimate foolishness of the hard culture of masculinity. By not making anyone a caricature- him or her- it always made me feel like it had the power to force men to look at themselves, too. At the end of the video, the man here is realizing that he has to change. And she’s absolved herself of the responsibility of fixing him. How powerful on all counts, the video beautifully and simply captured the depth and complexity of the music and these brilliant lyrics.
Regina Williams you are too kind. A friend of mine was just murdered this past weekend by an estranged ex, so the timing of your comment is special. Look me up on Facebook and my most recent post has a link to a group I just created to help me figure out how to boost awareness to men of what women’s reality is in our culture, and how we as men should be evolving to respect it. Thank you again for your kind words. ❤️🙏🏻
One of the best songs ever recorded, in history. Tears for fears was 100 years ahead... so wonderfully different and unique.. God loves us, and this is proof!
I'd be honored if some Tears for Fears fans would give a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal version of GET HERE IF YOU CAN by Oleta Adams on my YT channel in tribute to one of the great underrated voices in modern music history. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
A truly beautiful song and performances but what makes this one of the greatest recordings ever made is the exquisite production and arrangement. From that dreamy, hypnotic intro to the beautiful jangly guitar riff, to the crescendo at the end with everyone (including Phill Collins on drums) just killing it! A true masterpiece of pop music
Sure, I like their big hits, but it's the deeper cuts that really hold my interest. The production, slow build, soaring backing vocals, the passion, the lift, the spiraling, soul stirring blast of it all. Impeccable.
This song is absolutely epic, and it has stood the test of time. 80s music can sound dated, but certainly not here. There is massive production, but it is absolutely perfect and tastefully done. Glorious groove, expressive vocals, complex arrangement, but almost weightless and free - there aren't many songs that pull this off with such style as this. And with Pino Paladino, Manu Katché AND Phil Collins on the drums - what can possibly go wrong? Extraordinaire.
I love pino didn’t know this was him thanks buddy great comment, you would have got more likes if you just said who’s listening in 2020 so respect to you
@@michaeljoyner1235 Bizarre. How does this happen to have two drummers, each on a different section? Editing. I assume Collins was touring and not available for the video taping. I can understand that he was very busy at this time.
@@rk41gator bizarre is you posting it so casually as though you know what you’re talking about; thinking no one would see right thru it. You read a piece of trivia somewhere. God for you. Lame
I saw them in May of 2022 here in Phoenix in an open-air stage. What an amazing and captivating show it was. They braved the 100+ temps to give one of the best performances ever. The audience went crazy with EVERY song. One of the best moments of my life for sure. They performed this song as well and it was perfect. Garbage opened for them (Shirley Manson) and they were amazing too. Thank you Roland and Curt for blessing the World with your amazing music and artistry.
Phil Collins participou desta música sabiam? Ta explicado o nível elevadíssimo desta canção Woman ind Chains.Gente eu nunca vi uma introdução tão poderosa...arranjos perfeitos, instrumentais maravilhosos,bateria incrível, baixo impecável, guitarra perfeita,harmonia de vozes enfimmm inesquecível "Teas for Fears "
I grew up with my father listening to tears for fears. Have always loved them and know many songs by them. Thus song got me out of a horrible abusive relationship. This stuff happens every day to woman. Every time i listen to this song it makes me think about how powerful these words really are. Thank you tears for fears! Will forever be a favorite song.
World gone crazy… year 2022. Woman in chains. So free her…Republican party desires us to be in chains without rights. As said.. “There are wounds time cannot heal”… that time can’t heal… well it’s a world gone crazy, keeps woman in chains” wounds time can’t heal, like young girls or women victims of rape, incest and medical horrors. Vote in November 22. These men… vote them OUT!
👍 💖 I’m a female Baby Boomer (going on 70) who, amazingly, until about a month ago don’t recall hearing of/listening to TFF. THIS video is such a beautiful duet, as are the meaningful lyrics to it (which are also very relatable to many women around the world)! IDK why but music and lyrics like these mean MORE to me now than when 1st released (i.e. this was back in 1989)! The reason WHY I’m personally so surprised is that I’ve always loved ❤’d and listened to ALL genres of music - from classic rock to opera, and everything in between. But, better late than never -what a bravo 🙌 performance imo - so glad I found it (or it found me)!
THIS SONG CHANGED MY LIFE. Tears for Fears your lyrics actually mean something... highly intelligent people...big love xx every time I listen to this song I find a new meaning. Whoever came up with the line..."well I feel, deep in your heart there are wounds time can't heal" needs a medal...I have this tattooed on me
Da las gracias a Dios por darnos el genio de Roland Orzabal, bello ser por dentro y por fuera, autor de está obra de arte y cantante -junto con Oleta Adams-
Nothing lasting 6:30 touches this song; then and now. NO, NOTHING! The notes. The soulfulness. The rhythm. 4:36 and onward, where music, lyrics, humility, and spirit intersect. And above all, the message: women are an entity to celebrate, never nothing less. This music is a complete, unadulterated masterpiece. A measuring device for this music? It's not on Amazon. It's within one's heart. Even the radio stations were perplexed, had no clue what to do with it. Probably a good thing since most radio songs have a shelf life. This piece? Purely timeless. Thanks Tears.
I think this song is too deep for today and may offend many angry women, this song was better suited when aired back then, the title name may offend is what I meant: “Woman in Chains” ? With all the PC today and the feminist movement this song won’t fit the agenda. I agree with you “woman are an entity to celebrate”, greatly put.
One of the most unrecognized and unparalleled accomplishments of music collaboration during the 80’s. The vocals in this song are breathtakingly poignant, powerful, and purposeful. The lyrics could have played out in any type of storyline. This video floats across the screen with storyline fades and band moments that capture the musical theatric that is Tear for Fears. Every time i listen to this song it send chills through my body and I feel like I am “flying”. I so wishes that Tears for Fears and Oleta Adams had collaborated further, Still, the album “The Seeds of Love” features many other vocal collaborations on the album. One of the cinematic geniuses of the video is the fact the final production decision to create the video in black and white allows for color of the storyline and epic signature musical production creativity of Tear for Fears to tear through the “boundaries of color” both metaphorical and practically. The brilliance that was Tears for Fears and specifically the song Woman in Chains will always rank as one of the best songs of the 80’s and the brilliant eternal echoing voice of Oleta Adams was by far one of the most powerful and epic signature sounds during the 80’s and 90’s
To all the women in chains, past, present and future, know that you are not alone, and know that whether you can find it within you to break those chains, there is always hope. The end of this track is heart-soaring magnificence.
All the above applies to the men who are being abused by women. It is even harder for them to come forward, afraid to admit as woman are the weaker sex.(supposedly).
I don't know about a lot of you out there but me, I seriously miss living in the 80s and I miss all the 80s music. doesn't matter if it's pop, rock, rap or dance. The 80's music was the greatest of a all. I remember going to the mall as a young kid with one of my family members and the music star was over packed with all kind of music. Sometimes they would get so much cassette tapes and CDs and back then they couldn't even keep them on the shelves. Nowadays forget it, stores still carry CDs but not as much as they did back then. It's all thanks to social media and the internet. too many downloading end streaming. Anyway tears for fears was one of those bands that was just like the coolest to listen too
The more I listen to this song, the more I believe it’s the greatest song ever composed. The melody, the instrumentation, the lyrics, the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Roland Orzabal and Oleta Adams, and of course the message.
This is one of those songs which makes me feel chills. Damn, it's just so beautiful it's hard to explain. What do you think all this speaks of me? Btw, Tears for Fears is one of the best bands ever and Oleta Adams, what a voice.
IMO, chills represent your intuitive sense of understanding pure talent when you feel such a visceral song. ‘Head Over Heels’ from TFF has an intense chill effect for me as well. The sax in ‘The Working Hour’ speaks for itself.
IMHO, this is TFFs best song. I grew up around selfish, childish men who took advantage of and abused women, which was tragic because the women i knew were the strong ones. This song is just as fresh and meaningful today as it was when first released. In some ways, with all the crap our so called male "leaders" are doing to women's rights, the song is even more consequential now.
Introducing Oleta Adams! Tears for Fears brought her talent to the world.💜 One of my favorite all time songs as they all showcase their vocals. Chills and good feelings here.
I love the story of Roland explaining how they found Oleta Adams! TFF were playing a sold out concert show in Kansas, after the show came back to the hotel, showered and shaved, went downstairs to have some drinks at the hotel bar, had to pay a cover fee of $2.50 per person due to a local musician is playing there tonight named Oleta Adams? Roland stated they had sat at the bar in amazement listening to Oleta, stating it was soulful and she sang with such powerful emotion that some people were emotional enough to shed some tears, as everyone was quiet and tuned into her like no tomorrow. Roland stated her voice was so unique and that TFF needed to bring in that emotion to their band!
In 2019 I was in Minneapolis on a work thing and walking down the pedestrian mall downtown I stopped at a theatre to see who was performing and a week after I had to leave Oleta Adams was on the bill. I have been a fan since Circle of One, so I was devastated i would have to miss a show I’ve wanted to see for decades.
35anos e me chamaram esses dias de emocionado kķkkk será que que nossa geração era mesmo? Ou a dos de hj que se preservam do "sentir" como forma de viver? Fica a pergunta de milhões.
Big up “Tears For Fears!” One of favorite bands. I remember going out and buying their Album/CD when the group came out in the 80’s! “Shout” was a hit in all the hoods in NYC! ❤❤❤🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
I will never understand how this song was not top 10 on every single chart around the world, nor how they didn’t even get a Grammy nomination for best duo or vocal performance…nothing !! This song is heavily underrated!!! It’s a world gone crazy smh!
I have always loved this particular Tears for Fears song, reminds me of my mother living my father, an insecure man who was moody and aggressive, but who loved her, but was incapable of being the man she needed. The lyrics are awesome and Oleta Adams, what a voice. Still makes my spine tingle and I am in my sixties now. RIP Mom.
Sounds very familiar Gerry the way I experienced so called family life ! Now in sixties too ! I heard this song so many times when I was young but never understood it ! I’m free now .
This is so, so, deep. And Oleta! What to say about such a crazy gifted woman! This woman will be in my heart forever. PS: And I appreciate a lot the fact they synchronized the play of the drums with the punches of the man. It's cool.
I recently left my abusive husband, and the line "deep in your heart there are wounds time can't heal" is like a knife in my chest. It is so true and so beautifully written. I love Tears for Fears.
Good for you! If only more people would do what you have done! No one should be in an abusive relationship! physical or mental. I have made it my personal mantra to not be around anyone (relationships/friends/family and coworkers) that try to tear me down in anyway. I strive to be an uplifting influence on those around me and I expect it in return. Unfortunately there are people out there that are so broken that they can't see there way out of the negative behaviors towards others. Sadly, you most likely can't change them. Life is too short! be loved not degraded. You will find someone that wants to put you on a pedastal!!!! Just make sure to show them the same, and never take them for granted!! Obviously, this song is very meaningful to me as well!
THIS Song is off the charts, that beat , then Roland smooth voice, and add the angelic voice of Oleta Adams, This is one of the most underrated songs of all time.
Yes, yes, yes, yes! So good to see people focusing on layers. This song is a masterpiece; in fact, it's the greatest pop song I have heard since the late 80s (no fights please, it's only my opinion). The harmonic progressions, the sounds, the arrangement, the interplay between the feminine and the masculine voices; and of course the layers, starting from the triangles at the beginning till the entrance of the back-beat at 3:30.
I remember when this first came out in 1989. My first boyfriend loved Tears for Fears and bought the Seeds of Love album for the Beatle-esqe title song that hit top 5 on both sides of the pond. I was really only familiar with their smash singles Everybody Wants to Rule the World and Shout so this album was my gateway to TFF fandom. This song is a masterpiece but upon release it just barely cracked the top 40 and got little radio airplay. At 6 and 1/2 minutes it was considered too long and with an extremely long intro. Idk if there's a radio edit but that would ruin the song. Thankfully the video came out and was played extensively on vh1 and gave me my first exposure to Oleta Adams. She was touring with the group as a backup singer and TFF gave her this duet which springboarded her solo career. Anyways this song is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard and deserved to be a #1 single. Also don't sleep on Advice For The Young At Heart either. Another great ballad from the band that also should've been a smash but barely dented the charts.

Oleta’s voice just blows me away. She was meant to be a singer and God gave her a unique voice. Her phrasing is out of this world.
YES!
Totally agree
💯
Roland and Oleta are at their best here...
Roland and Oleta= a perfect musical couple. Irreplaceable.
There are people out there who think Tears for Fears ends with Everybody wants or Shout, they’re missing out on so much awesomeness!
Agreed, their music holds up thirty plus years later it still holds up
I'm 57 and I still can't listen to this song without getting tears in my eyes and choked up. It's the most spiritual and passionate song I've ever heard.

There many but this one is undoubtedly one of the tops

this song makes me cry from when i was in a previous abusive marriage. Thankful to re-married to a wonderful man of 18 years now.
AMEN MY SISTER...
Happy for you!!! God bless.
Ohhh my Lord.

No need to hear this beautiful song so much to cry and fall in tears almost every time.
I miss real music like those.
Peace 😇 ❤️ 🙏 😇 ❤️ 🙏
This song is so powerful. It makes you want to cry. His voice with her is a union of power against evil.
Still one of my all-time favorite songs. It's perfect in every way.
I got to listen to this CD for the first time right after turning 59 years old, and even before the halfway mark of this song I had tears in my eyes.
this song is absolute truth.
I wish I had a woman I could love and be there for, but it never happened, and now I'm too old.
but what a powerful song !!
tears for fears where the best 80s band without a doubt.
I'm going to have to check out their more recent work now, because I have a feeling it's just as good if not better.
Get out of my head, you're so accurate. I'm about to lose my life and so this song has special meaning. You take care.
As long as there is breath in your body it's never to late. God has been holding your perfect mate in His storehouse. But you never asked Him for it.
This is where I discovered oleta, then I followed her solo carrer! She's remarkable, she reminds me of Stephanie mills!
Such a powerful song, says so much, yet so little is done worldwide to free the women in chains...... Thank you Roland Orzabal for writing this!!!!!
The lyric, "It's under my skin but out of my hands" such powerful emotion in the song, makes me cry sometimes.
❤💯👍
@@photo80sjeff84 What does Curtis Smith sing in the background after that part?
I am so enamored of this song and the vocals colab. Oleta Adams was always 'That Voice' for me. Why has she disappeared???

Great dad
Wonderfull man your father
Abusive relationship according to the words of only one person...The song is great!
Wow! Your dad is an awesome and amazing father.God bless him .
Oh, God, what a duet!... *Tears For Fears* vocalist *Roland Orzabal De La Quintana* is really a *great great singer* but, without Oleta Adams, this song wouldn't be what it is. It's simply marvelous!...
With the great Oleta Adams...I never understood why she wasn't more famous; such an exquisite voice.
February 2024. 1980's music and songs way, way above today's best.
Missing the times when voice and talent was what sold 🥲
Never to return probably. What crap we have now!
We are moving away from real human feelings. Now we are told what to think, how to feel, how to proper and correct. No place for passion, human errors, real compassion and true regret.

Perfection in a song. Just so powerful. Oleta is everything on this track. To me, it’s their best song ever. ❤️❤️❤️

So under-rated
From the year 1989 such a beautiful song from the last year of that amazing decade
Anyone coming here for a break from a "world gone crazy?"
Agreed

Tears For Fears do a great with this song, but it's Oleta's vocals that puts it over the top. So glad they thought of her.
Robert Roche , great comment. Oleta hits the notes. Memorable!
Couldn't agree with you more!😀
They complement each other perfectly.. Great duet.. ✌️
Don't exaggerate
@@SR-pb6kq No exaggeration at all.
One of the most beautiful songs .... ever. Period. The writing ... singers ... musicians ... performance. Everything. Perfection.
Concordo plenamente.
Yes, I agree.
Perfection yes. Beauty yes.

Just the other day my daughter said dad you were so lucky to grow up in the 80's the music was incredible.She is 23 and loves the music and the passion I have passed down to her.
We are all this song. Our fears, struggles, dreams, frustrations, ups and downs, pain, courage, the search for peace, success and love. There are millions of great compositions but this piece is a timeless work of art. The elements perfectly located, with the perfect presence and with the perfect purpose. When I heard it for the first time, I went into some kind of catatonic state and wondered "Did I just hear the most perfect song ever?" This is one of the most atmospheric and sonic songs I've ever heard; the sound, the mix, its evolution, its history, its outcome. It's just perfect.
But did you like it?
This song... 😢😢😢
@@MyTimeIsNotYourTime 😂 clearly not at all
My sister's went to high school with Oleta Adams my sister said Oleta was a very nice person its nice to see someone from my hometown make it in the buisness its a hard road to the top the struggle is real but im glad she made it best wishes to Oleta who is proof " To Never Give up and follow your dreams "
I can only imagine that Oleta was a very nice person. Lucky your sister to have known her. Nice story and nicely stated.
One of the best songs ever recorded, so beautifully put together, a band that was so under appreciated
My twenties spanned the 80's--I've always adored TFF.
What are you talking about? TFF were one of the biggest bands in the 80s?
Agree.. This song is a recording and musical MASTERPIECE
Agreed!
Under appreciated?
They were huge
34 years later and I’m still enamoured by this song.
I love the story of how Roland and Curt found Oleta on tour…they knew she absolutely had to be part of their next album and made it happen
This song held my hand and gave me a warm embrace when my Dad was battling cancer and eventually died 10 months after battling it. while I just gave birth to my first born last year. And my Dad never even got to see or hold his 5 week old grandchild in the flesh. This song reminds me of those phases that I went through and somehow helped me cope with that sudden loss. its not even a song he usually listens to, but this reminds me of the time of his death. This song was like a therapist where I can show raw emotions while listening to it. Still listening to this treasure of a song whenever I think about him.Man, I can count the songs that reminded me of him.But this song will always remain special.I miss my Dad Always. Beautiful song, wonderfully arranged. Definitely one of my favourites. Sticks to the heart for years to come. Thank You, Tears for Fears for this wonderful gift of your music.
hg
😢🙏
God bless Pamy.
it resonate with you so much because you were essentially a "woman in chains" in the sense you felt helpless that you couldnt do anything to help your dad,,,,,,,,,,,,,at least thats my take on it! see some of us MEN do have a sensitive emphathetic side ;)
ger bear i guess you are right in that sense. And yes, Men do have an empathetic side. Not just women. We’re all human after all. With Feelings and all that jazz :-)
Ok I heard this song play randomly on Spotify. I'm 48 years old and this is the first time I heard it. It's freaking beautiful! I always loved Tears For Fears. I listened to the radio all the time but never heard this! Time and music went by but their voices are timeless! I recognized them right away as soon as they started to sing. Let me tell you my jaw dropped. Oleta Adams (what??!) makes this so very powerful! Damn they don't make music like this anymore! These voices are the perfect melodic blend.
The same thing happened to me!! 🤗 how did I not know this?!
Phill Collins na bateria...😅
Never too late
You should have been wasting your time on MTV more often back in the day. That would have been the proper thing to do. 😉
I'm one of those people that never gave their stuff past the first two albums a chance because I wanted more of that 80's synth sound, but I'm really starting to appreciate this. It's beautiful
Lol same here especially Songs From The Big Chair but after I heard this whole album it was stunning production no wonder it took 4 years to make...album wise TFF have 4 of the greatest albums in music history!
What a beautiful song 🎵 with a powerful message . Tears for Fears and Oleta Adams forever. ❤
I love the comments of people having the strength to leave an abusive relationship from these lyrics. ❤️ I also think one of the brilliant things about this song is how three-dimensional they make the abuse by empathizing with- but not excusing- the ultimate foolishness of the hard culture of masculinity. By not making anyone a caricature- him or her- it always made me feel like it had the power to force men to look at themselves, too. At the end of the video, the man here is realizing that he has to change. And she’s absolved herself of the responsibility of fixing him. How powerful on all counts, the video beautifully and simply captured the depth and complexity of the music and these brilliant lyrics.
The lyrics are brilliant and way before the time!
Thomas Negovan this song is my favorite and it’s brilliant could listen to it everyday.
Thomas Negovan , your statement was Impressive, genuine insight. Take Care🤗
Regina Williams you are too kind. A friend of mine was just murdered this past weekend by an estranged ex, so the timing of your comment is special. Look me up on Facebook and my most recent post has a link to a group I just created to help me figure out how to boost awareness to men of what women’s reality is in our culture, and how we as men should be evolving to respect it. Thank you again for your kind words. ❤️🙏🏻
@@thomasnegovanonline I will , I am very sorry to hear this news. Please take care😘🌹🌹🌹
In my humble opinion this is by far the greatest track from tears for fears, brilliant.
i agree
Not only that; one of the finest songs ever made.
Everybody wants to rule the world and head over heels have entered the chat
I fully agree also iconic
Powerful song that you FEEL. I agree, one of their greatest.
Essa obra de arte tem 34/35 anos, parece que foi ontem que comecei a curtir. Já devo ter ouvido umas 5000 vezes... Bora ouvir mais 5000...
Una belleza , una obra de arte , la letra , la musica . Podran 50 años y sera cada vez mas bella
One of the best songs ever recorded, in history. Tears for fears was 100 years ahead... so wonderfully different and unique.. God loves us, and this is proof!
💖💖💖💖💖
almost 27 years later and this song still gives me goosebumps .... thank you very much Roland
True
I'd be honored if some Tears for Fears fans would give a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal version of GET HERE IF YOU CAN by Oleta Adams on my YT channel in tribute to one of the great underrated voices in modern music history. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
Me too
Agreed!!!
Thank you Oleta to!
A truly beautiful song and performances but what makes this one of the greatest recordings ever made is the exquisite production and arrangement. From that dreamy, hypnotic intro to the beautiful jangly guitar riff, to the crescendo at the end with everyone (including Phill Collins on drums) just killing it! A true masterpiece of pop music
Play this and Duran Duran-Come Undone back to back, they go together wonderfully
...THIS...!
Sure, I like their big hits, but it's the deeper cuts that really hold my interest. The production, slow build, soaring backing vocals, the passion, the lift, the spiraling, soul stirring blast of it all. Impeccable.
This entire album is a masterpiece

We all are at certain times and we have the key. This music is brilliant!

This song is absolutely epic, and it has stood the test of time. 80s music can sound dated, but certainly not here. There is massive production, but it is absolutely perfect and tastefully done. Glorious groove, expressive vocals, complex arrangement, but almost weightless and free - there aren't many songs that pull this off with such style as this. And with Pino Paladino, Manu Katché AND Phil Collins on the drums - what can possibly go wrong? Extraordinaire.
Epic comment to an outsdandingly epic song.
I love pino didn’t know this was him thanks buddy great comment, you would have got more likes if you just said who’s listening in 2020 so respect to you
Right on the spot!
Indeed a great production!
Whaaaat???! I didn't know phil collins played this song!!
@@jd-um4jw Tears for Fears is/was just Roland n Curt, so everyone else was brought in as needed
Love Phil Collins's subtle yet tasteful drumming on this song. So appropriate throughout the whole piece, he just knows how to make it better.
He plays the 2nd half of the song 3:32 to the end.
@@michaeljoyner1235 Bizarre. How does this happen to have two drummers, each on a different section? Editing. I assume Collins was touring and not available for the video taping. I can understand that he was very busy at this time.
@@rk41gator bizarre is you posting it so casually as though you know what you’re talking about; thinking no one would see right thru it.
You read a piece of trivia somewhere. God for you.
Lame
I never knew this had Phil Collins
Awesome!
I've following your music since the 80's . You picked the perfect female singer in Oleta. Incredible, keep on producing excellent songs
I don't know why this song isn't on a movie track . This song is perfect for the women in Iran who are suffering
"Men of Stone." That's brilliant stuff. Just a few words can have so much truth. These guys sang some deep stuff.
Oleta Adams....stunning!
+Paul S absolute perfection!!
One of a kind! ❤️
I saw them in May of 2022 here in Phoenix in an open-air stage. What an amazing and captivating show it was. They braved the 100+ temps to give one of the best performances ever. The audience went crazy with EVERY song. One of the best moments of my life for sure. They performed this song as well and it was perfect. Garbage opened for them (Shirley Manson) and they were amazing too. Thank you Roland and Curt for blessing the World with your amazing music and artistry.
Mam konto na YT od 2007 i TFF zawsze był i jest moim ulubionym zespołem.
Pozdrawiam z Polski.
Heyka :)
Phil Collins participou desta música sabiam? Ta explicado o nível elevadíssimo desta canção Woman ind Chains.Gente eu nunca vi uma introdução tão poderosa...arranjos perfeitos, instrumentais maravilhosos,bateria incrível, baixo impecável, guitarra perfeita,harmonia de vozes enfimmm inesquecível "Teas for Fears "
Linda demais!
Apaixonante.
What a pretty woman ,hello my Beauty ?
Pesquise o porquê desta letra
@@mariaborges620 Vale a pena mesmo, diz muito sobre a relação do pai dele com a mãe. É bem forte!
É tema de algum filme?
I grew up with my father listening to tears for fears. Have always loved them and know many songs by them. Thus song got me out of a horrible abusive relationship. This stuff happens every day to woman. Every time i listen to this song it makes me think about how powerful these words really are. Thank you tears for fears! Will forever be a favorite song.
May your life be filled with love, hope , and endless joy. 🙏 💞🤗🥰💖💙
Hope you’re faring better now! No one deserves a life in chains, be it man or woman.
Best of luck to you in all of your future endeavors ❤️
Republican party is soon to make this a realty for all. Vote Nov 22.
World gone crazy… year 2022. Woman in chains. So free her…Republican party desires us to be in chains without rights. As said.. “There are wounds time cannot heal”… that time can’t heal… well it’s a world gone crazy, keeps woman in chains” wounds time can’t heal, like young girls or women victims of rape, incest and medical horrors. Vote in November 22. These men… vote them OUT!
God bless. I pray God assists you in finding happiness every day.
I saw them in concert in 1990 and Oleta Adams toured with them. This song was amazing live.
2112mary I saw them then too on that tour. I've seen many concerts in my life of many big name bands. Tears For Fears is right at the top of the best.
***** I agree.
what a treasure you have to have to seen it live.
So envious!!!!
Still listening in 2024!! Love this song!!
👍 💖 I’m a female Baby Boomer (going on 70) who, amazingly, until about a month ago don’t recall hearing of/listening to TFF. THIS video is such a beautiful duet, as are the meaningful lyrics to it (which are also very relatable to many women around the world)! IDK why but music and lyrics like these mean MORE to me now than when 1st released (i.e. this was back in 1989)! The reason WHY I’m personally so surprised is that I’ve always loved ❤’d and listened to ALL genres of music - from classic rock to opera, and everything in between. But, better late than never -what a bravo 🙌 performance imo - so glad I found it (or it found me)!
We grew up in the best times 🌺🙏❤️. I am 70 too
Orzabal's voice is smooth as butter
THIS SONG CHANGED MY LIFE. Tears for Fears your lyrics actually mean something... highly intelligent people...big love xx every time I listen to this song I find a new meaning. Whoever came up with the line..."well I feel, deep in your heart there are wounds time can't heal" needs a medal...I have this tattooed on me
Da las gracias a Dios por darnos el genio de Roland Orzabal, bello ser por dentro y por fuera, autor de está obra de arte y cantante -junto con Oleta Adams-
❤ April 2024.
Zurückversetzt in meine Jugend.
Sooo schööön ❤❤❤
Nothing lasting 6:30 touches this song; then and now. NO, NOTHING! The notes. The soulfulness. The rhythm. 4:36 and onward, where music, lyrics, humility, and spirit intersect. And above all, the message: women are an entity to celebrate, never nothing less. This music is a complete, unadulterated masterpiece. A measuring device for this music? It's not on Amazon. It's within one's heart. Even the radio stations were perplexed, had no clue what to do with it. Probably a good thing since most radio songs have a shelf life. This piece? Purely timeless. Thanks Tears.
I think this song is too deep for today and may offend many angry women, this song was better suited when aired back then, the title name may offend is what I meant: “Woman in Chains” ? With all the PC today and the feminist movement this song won’t fit the agenda. I agree with you “woman are an entity to celebrate”, greatly put.
1989 - this song is awesome!
2020 - this song is awesome!
I watched the video three times today!
Alex Correia oh absolutely one of the best I can listen to this song every single day love it.
👌🏽 Indeed Timeless Inspiration
Tears For Fears is timeless!
Roland’s voice is phenomenal. Hers too!
One of the most unrecognized and unparalleled accomplishments of music collaboration during the 80’s. The vocals in this song are breathtakingly poignant, powerful, and purposeful. The lyrics could have played out in any type of storyline. This video floats across the screen with storyline fades and band moments that capture the musical theatric that is Tear for Fears. Every time i listen to this song it send chills through my body and I feel like I am “flying”. I so wishes that Tears for Fears and Oleta Adams had collaborated further, Still, the album “The Seeds of Love” features many other vocal collaborations on the album. One of the cinematic geniuses of the video is the fact the final production decision to create the video in black and white allows for color of the storyline and epic signature musical production creativity of Tear for Fears to tear through the “boundaries of color” both metaphorical and practically. The brilliance that was Tears for Fears and specifically the song Woman in Chains will always rank as one of the best songs of the 80’s and the brilliant eternal echoing voice of Oleta Adams was by far one of the most powerful and epic signature sounds during the 80’s and 90’s
Wow, you could be a music critic! Well said!
Thank you Tears for Fears ❤ i love you
this song is just so brilliant on all levels. One of their absolute best.
To all the women in chains, past, present and future, know that you are not alone, and know that whether you can find it within you to break those chains, there is always hope.
The end of this track is heart-soaring magnificence.
Ladys if a man dont treat you right please leave, you are not hear for abuse! This is coming from a man ok! Take care of yourself please!
All the above applies to the men who are being abused by women.
It is even harder for them to come forward, afraid to admit as woman are the weaker sex.(supposedly).
One man's trash is another man's treasure! Find a man who treasures you!
Beautifully said
I don't know about a lot of you out there but me, I seriously miss living in the 80s and I miss all the 80s music.
doesn't matter if it's pop, rock, rap or dance.
The 80's music was the greatest of a all.
I remember going to the mall as a young kid with one of my family members and the music star was over packed with all kind of music. Sometimes they would get so much cassette tapes and CDs and back then they couldn't even keep them on the shelves. Nowadays forget it, stores still carry CDs but not as much as they did back then.
It's all thanks to social media and the internet. too many downloading end streaming. Anyway tears for fears was one of those bands that was just like the coolest to listen too
Yes! The 80s were amazing in so many ways. Best music!
And pretty safe to go to the mall!
The more I listen to this song, the more I believe it’s the greatest song ever composed. The melody, the instrumentation, the lyrics, the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Roland Orzabal and Oleta Adams, and of course the message.
It grows on you each time you hear it
There are few songs that capture emotion better than this one. Gives me goose bumps every time and sometimes a tear or two.
@Dan that is the tear for fears.
I think it's time to release it again don't you
FEAR NOT TEARS ........you have COMPASSION !
One of the most Amazing and powerful song ever recorded.
Truth
ABSOLUTELY!!
Nice sweeping interchanged harmonies. It can make or break a song
Exactly. I feel it does more for women's rights than pussy hats etc.
YES! I just saw them in concert (May 2022) and this was part of their playlist. It was still just as powerful and relevant!
Both Oleta and Roland showing an incredible vocal range. ❤
This is one of those songs which makes me feel chills. Damn, it's just so beautiful it's hard to explain. What do you think all this speaks of me? Btw, Tears for Fears is one of the best bands ever and Oleta Adams, what a voice.
yes this song is so powerful, the major part at the end, and the harmonies are just so beautiful it makes me emotional
IMO, chills represent your intuitive sense of understanding pure talent when you feel such a visceral song. ‘Head Over Heels’ from TFF has an intense chill effect for me as well. The sax in ‘The Working Hour’ speaks for itself.
Say no more my friend. And may your lord not only bles you but make you a blessing.
@@ClintonBeharry-cj1rh❤
Because this isn't music, it's art.
This song got me through life!! I've been listening to this song for over 20 years. My children loves this song.
The lyrics of ALL their songs was on point... In my 20's in the 80's! It was the best of times to be alive
IMHO, this is TFFs best song. I grew up around selfish, childish men who took advantage of and abused women, which was tragic because the women i knew were the strong ones. This song is just as fresh and meaningful today as it was when first released. In some ways, with all the crap our so called male "leaders" are doing to women's rights, the song is even more consequential now.
You will be in old woman or man and listen to this song. It will make you feel young again. 😊
Introducing Oleta Adams! Tears for Fears brought her talent to the world.💜 One of my favorite all time songs as they all showcase their vocals. Chills and good feelings here.
I love the story of Roland explaining how they found Oleta Adams! TFF were playing a sold out concert show in Kansas, after the show came back to the hotel, showered and shaved, went downstairs to have some drinks at the hotel bar, had to pay a cover fee of $2.50 per person due to a local musician is playing there tonight named Oleta Adams? Roland stated they had sat at the bar in amazement listening to Oleta, stating it was soulful and she sang with such powerful emotion that some people were emotional enough to shed some tears, as everyone was quiet and tuned into her like no tomorrow. Roland stated her voice was so unique and that TFF needed to bring in that emotion to their band!
In 2019 I was in Minneapolis on a work thing and walking down the pedestrian mall downtown I stopped at a theatre to see who was performing and a week after I had to leave Oleta Adams was on the bill. I have been a fan since Circle of One, so I was devastated i would have to miss a show I’ve wanted to see for decades.
Fico me perguntando:
Como a juventude de hoje prefere funk tendo músicas como esta?
Podem me chamar de velho! Amo essas músicas! 👏🏻😎
Verdade
O problema nem é em ouvir funk e sim uma musica sem conteúdo
Amo essa música.
35anos e me chamaram esses dias de emocionado kķkkk será que que nossa geração era mesmo? Ou a dos de hj que se preservam do "sentir" como forma de viver? Fica a pergunta de milhões.
Então somos todos velhos, gostamos de músicas e não o que se ouve hj em dia.
Big up “Tears For Fears!” One of favorite bands. I remember going out and buying their Album/CD when the group came out in the 80’s! “Shout” was a hit in all the hoods in NYC! ❤❤❤🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
I will never understand how this song was not top 10 on every single chart around the world, nor how they didn’t even get a Grammy nomination for best duo or vocal performance…nothing !! This song is heavily underrated!!! It’s a world gone crazy smh!
I have always loved this particular Tears for Fears song, reminds me of my mother living my father, an insecure man who was moody and aggressive, but who loved her, but was incapable of being the man she needed. The lyrics are awesome and Oleta Adams, what a voice. Still makes my spine tingle and I am in my sixties now. RIP Mom.
Everybody needs to follow their own path, male or female...when they are forced to live the life they are not built for...they will not be content.

Wow. That’s deep. 😢
Sounds very familiar Gerry the way I experienced so called family life ! Now in sixties too ! I heard this song so many times when I was young but never understood it ! I’m free now .
Cette chanson m'apaise et j'aime se groupe
Oleta Adams voice is mesmerizing, sounds like velvet. Would love to see her perform someday....
This is so, so, deep. And Oleta! What to say about such a crazy gifted woman! This woman will be in my heart forever.
PS: And I appreciate a lot the fact they synchronized the play of the drums with the punches of the man. It's cool.
Thank you for writing about my Mom. And myself. And many other women who have been in chains. God Bless you and I love Oleta Adams.
One of the best songs ever written.
This song helped me to get rid of my chains and get out of an abusive relationship. Thank you Tears for fears!
I recently left my abusive husband, and the line "deep in your heart there are wounds time can't heal" is like a knife in my chest. It is so true and so beautifully written. I love Tears for Fears.
Ashley Byun that's so wonderful. Did you communicate this to Roland on twitter. I'm sure he would love to hear it
Good for you! If only more people would do what you have done!
No one should be in an abusive relationship! physical or mental.
I have made it my personal mantra to not be around anyone (relationships/friends/family and coworkers) that try to tear me down in anyway. I strive to be an uplifting influence on those around me and I expect it in return. Unfortunately there are people out there that are so broken that they can't see there way out of the negative behaviors towards others. Sadly, you most likely can't change them. Life is too short!
be loved not degraded. You will find someone that wants to put you on a pedastal!!!! Just make sure to show them the same, and never take them for granted!!
Obviously, this song is very meaningful to me as well!
Good 4 U Ash...Good 4 U ! :O
Ashley Byun good girl
THIS Song is off the charts, that beat , then Roland smooth voice, and add the angelic voice of Oleta Adams, This is one of the most underrated songs of all time.
This might be their best song ever. Which is saying a ton. So many layers and the amazing Oleta Adams!
They were good with layers.. their song Head Over Heels blows my mind with its layering
Yes, yes, yes, yes! So good to see people focusing on layers. This song is a masterpiece; in fact, it's the greatest pop song I have heard since the late 80s (no fights please, it's only my opinion). The harmonic progressions, the sounds, the arrangement, the interplay between the feminine and the masculine voices; and of course the layers, starting from the triangles at the beginning till the entrance of the back-beat at 3:30.
Anybody else wish for the return of true talent in music?
I wish for a time machine to go back and stay
Plenty of talent now as well
With everything going on in the world, the lack of substantial and meaningful music is probably the saddest of it all.
Lots of real talent today. Good, bad and mediocre in every era. Just gotta know where to look.
There will never be an era of music as gripping and powerful as the 80s
Esse homem tem uma voz muito linda
Absolutely emotional mate
I agree
Hyperpop has entered the chat 😎
Right fratello!
I remember when this first came out in 1989. My first boyfriend loved Tears for Fears and bought the Seeds of Love album for the Beatle-esqe title song that hit top 5 on both sides of the pond. I was really only familiar with their smash singles Everybody Wants to Rule the World and Shout so this album was my gateway to TFF fandom. This song is a masterpiece but upon release it just barely cracked the top 40 and got little radio airplay. At 6 and 1/2 minutes it was considered too long and with an extremely long intro. Idk if there's a radio edit but that would ruin the song. Thankfully the video came out and was played extensively on vh1 and gave me my first exposure to Oleta Adams. She was touring with the group as a backup singer and TFF gave her this duet which springboarded her solo career. Anyways this song is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard and deserved to be a #1 single. Also don't sleep on Advice For The Young At Heart either. Another great ballad from the band that also should've been a smash but barely dented the charts.
❤
The whole album is a masterpiece.
One Of my favorite albums of all time.
This Should have been a 1# Hit Song All over the World Period ❤❤❤❤!!!!!
As a former woman in chains, ❤this. There is always a way out xxx
Glad u free...GB!
I'm falling in love with one and I don't know what to do.
I'm happy for you
