True musical genius is the ability to make a song with so many twists and turns like this one that keep it interesting, rather than repeating the same tune over and over.
Sophisticated arrangements, fascinating sounds, great lyrics and a perfect melodic taste. And Roland, what a voice! What more one can ask for? Love them forever.
They were like prophets..even their stunning "Everybody wants to Rule.." always prophetic/poetic beautiful astounding..incredible band/group/poets/team/talents..creative artists
This was my brother's favorite song... We were in awe when we first heard it in '89.. He passed away suddenly in 2017... I revisit it often and pretend he's singing along with me.
If you search the vids on the Professor Of Rock channel, he has an episode about this song. Very insightful and made me appreciate it even more afterward.
That point at 4:48 where it goes from the Am/D bridge back into the C maj chorus section always gives me chills. Amazing songwriting, absolutely classic song.
God I love this song! Why is it that once you start listening to these fire 80's hits, you end up binging on all 80's music (no matter the genre 'cause they were all bangers) for hours on RUclips? Nothing and I mean straight up nothing will ever dominate the music, culture and fads of the 80's! So blessed to have lived and experienced the enlightening 80's. This 55 year old will always be an 80's child!
totally feel you…real music. I could spend hours listening. It always feels like Christmas hearing something I forgot about but can still remember the words to.
Not just only the music production, the videos were amazing too, of course, they were doing the best they can with the technology at that moment, but the vision, the ideas, and most important the liberty to express not worring about people judging
Today is my 39th birthday and I woke up with this song in my head. Can’t even recall the last time I’ve heard it played. Here’s to all of us planting seeds of love in the fertile ground of our souls. Remember the day you plant isn’t the day you harvest. Water your seeds with the promise of tomorrow.
This is one of the best songs ever recorded. Tears for fears was a very versatile band, their songs were part of everybody's lives in the eighties and nineties.
So versatile that they are part of the Rock and Roll hall of fame without their music being rock. They were awarded the position due to having inspired many rock bands. Rock on m8s
I just rediscovered Tears for Fears. Been binge listening. It's like meeting on great old friend you haven't seen in years. I didn't realize how much I missed them.
I watched Tears For Fears performing live in February 2019, during their _Rule The World_ tour; they are fantastic live and put on a very good performance.

It's a great song. I will always associate it with Hurricane Hugo in SC in 1989. It was popular at that time and I lived thru, and survived, that nightmare.
It gives you goosebumps because it is referring to the garden of Eden when Satan said to Eve if you eat of this fruit it will open your eyes and you shall become like gods. It’s so hard to get across to people how much secular music can be so enjoyable but the force behind it Comes from a very dark place I always suggest reading the lyrics. I say this with peace and love
This is an incredibly sophisticated song from the 1980s. There are so few songs that take you on an emotional rollercoaster. This one is without doubt a masterpiece.
TEARS FOR FEARS! You guys should NEVER STOP making music. Please, keep digging down and finding music that gives insight and hope to human kind. You guys a true artist.
It is great. My favorite part is near the end when Curt sings time to eat all your words swallow your pride open your eyes. It goes from great to transcendent for me. I done even know why. But I can’t stop singing that part over and over, even after the song is done. Hauntingly beautiful
I truly believe this is one of the greatest pop/rock songs ever recorded. It is a masterpiece of Tears for Fears career, yet for some reason classic rock radio never plays it.
I really feel this song should be recognized much more than it is. This is a masterpiece of songwriting, layered production and sound, and incredible artistry. So many different sections that blend together perfectly and sound amazing. It’s so underrated it’s a crime. Can’t believe this song is never really thought of these days in any “best of” types of lists.
The song was very popular back in the day. It made the rounds several times on the radio and on MTV and VH1. Sadly as great as it is. The general masses got tired of it and as music and people goes the masses moved onto the next big hit. Another thing that kind of killed the song was not to much later country music took almost a death grip on the country. That pretty much ended anything that sounded 80's or very early 90's. Also add that Roland and Curt split up and Roland had already move onto developing Raoul and the Kings of Spain, so Roland basically got what he got out of it and moved on. Tears for Fears have never been known to keep driving a song (that's probably not the correct word to use) past the album it was released on. Sure they will sing it in a concert but you generally don't see them keep driving to another rerelease. In the end it was good that The Hurting got basically leaked into the market. Otherwise they would have been a band that had essentially one release in the 80's outside of Sowing the Seeds of Love just making it out in 89.
That's called a "counter melody" in musical terms, it's when you put an alternate melody over the same chords of a verse or a chorus. For that reason, Roland begins to sing over Curt's melody in that part and it works perfectly.
I'm going to be 62 this year. The 70's were great. Fresh oldies from the 60's 😊. In the 80's the music changed. Now there's so much that we'll never get to hear it all.

I've been listening to this song for over 30 years and what I noticed now at age 43 is this song is actually several different songs woven into one that's absolutely genius these guys are freaking awesome take me back to the 80s take me back to the 90s baby I'm done with 2023
I'm 46 and when this came out, I was just getting my own sense of what music to like and this reminded me so much of The Beatles - despite my friend taking the piss for listening to music from before I was born! This really has lots of hint of Lennon and Strawberry Fields Forever... Or is my hearing loss really that bad now?
@@shanksymiester3195 gosh, and how crooked they have gotten ✌️😔🌏🌍🌎 i was happy boy growin up in rural north cali !! now ive got 3 kids of my own and im scared for our future. God Bless u all
Saw them last night in KC. Left with my jaw dragging on ground. Ro's voice is as good as it gets. Exquisite musicianship and a hell of an entertaining show
Could not agree more. They were so happy to be touring and seeing people love their music. The new CD is a masterpiece and I wish more people knew about it.
I played this song over and over again back in 1989. Definitely has the Beatles influence and such great production. It's a masterpiece that takes you on a musical journey.
@@mikelewchuk Spiritual love is our highest nature. Our Divine nature. Our higher 'I'. The Christ within us. There are many great writers who were aware of this. But the most insightful was probably Rudolf Steiner. 🌞🌻✌🙏
Jesus is the only way out . Man can never achieve this without the Lord . This song is good but the message is of mankind thru Lucifer can achieve the highest calling.
1989, I just turned 25, after 2 years my relationship came to an unhappy ending, I was heartbroken and travelled to PARIS for a month to get my head clear again and on the train I listened to this great album, I felt better when I arrived in Paris and had a BLAST THERE. Best time of my life 😆
Same goes for A-ha. Great music, no appreciation from the crowds, love from those who know. Coldplay ripped them off and commercialized all their creations.
I loved this song when I was a teenager. I didn't realize its meaning. Now I can find out what it's about. They were warning us to open our eyes, to open our consciousness. Thanks TFF.
Tell that to Today's artists and the Music Industry that allows just anyone in the game and push back the few who are inspired by the good stuff who produce quality material.
One of the most spectacular rockin'-pop tunes/songs/lyrics of the 80s that should put Tears for Fears comfortable in the company of Beatles and U2. A masterpiece with the video scoring a perfect 10.
This song was SUCH cutting edge at the time, partly due to the video which was amazing computer graphics at that time. I love the part where it goes “ Time to eat all your words, swallow your pride...” and then OVER THAT kicks back in with - “High time we made a stand & shook up the views of....” TOTAL BRILLIANCE

Everybody who has watched this song in 2021 needs to post it on every available medium they have and keep spreading it.. this song has so much power and meaning! I found it today after listening to head over heels and I swear that was early afternoon and im still buzzing.. have not felt this good in years... peace and love to all 🙋❤
Only recently have I been appreciating this song. It was so overplayed when it first came out on radio and MTV, that I tended to ignore it. 35 years later, I am really loving it.
Me too.. I didn't give it much attention when it first came out..but now, I realised that i had completely passed over a gem and has since begun to like and appreciate it..
How is this song so great? It’s seriously perfect. It’s like the gods of music said, “OK, we’re gonna grant ONE band a dose of the magic we gave the Beatles, only it’s gonna be a HUGE dose, and they have to use the whole thing on ONE SONG.”
Roland's voice is incredible and instantly recognizable! I was hoping to run into him or Curt, or both when I was visiting and walking the streets in Bath 4 years ago. Also had my eyes peeled for Peter Gabriel to come walking round. Never happened. Damn!
British in American person’s life... Anglo America iron and clay... Crushed by the rock Jesus 🤔 I don’t know what you think? A lot of British song writers and artists making songs about a brown woman in America... wonder why?

The voices of Curt and Roland melded together like Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell. I still listen to TFF to this day!! Great performers, and this is probably my favorite TFF song!
Exactly, they complement each other so much! I need them both. They’re so perfect with each other. Thanks God, they‘ve found each other, and we can hear the product of their friendship.
I remember when this came out in 1989. I was totally fascinated with this video. These guys were apart of my sound track growing up. They are both so handsome and talented. Roland's vocal range is amazing! Love this song!! Cant believe this video is 34 years old! Where did the time go? Still sounds so good ,one of my favs.

Tears for fears was ahead of the times on the stuff going on in the world. They saw the good and bad happening. And the music I grew up listening to as a kid and teen has never rang truer than it is these days. I think the 80s music needs to come back out and cover these times lol.
they were insanely mature intelligent for their age. they were only 21 when the pale shelter stuff came out and change too. im still blown away by how good they are

Seemed to have less repetition in the tunes then.

Owes quite a bit to the Beatles....., but, yes, a great song.
@@crabbieappleton The Beatles sound ❤️
It will be a masterpiece FOR EVER
total truth
THE SEEDS OF LOVE from 1989 is one of the best RECORDS ever being released, I still listen to it at least once a month, it never gets old.
It's true even if I love Pink Floyd, Led Zepelin, Foreigner too...
There is for me only one french song that is really good, listen to : Cargo de nuit- Axel BAUER, you'll don't regret it.
Thanks !

It's a great song. I will always associate it with Hurricane Hugo in SC in 1989. It was popular at that time and I lived thru, and survived, that nightmare.
this line “time to eat all your words, swallow your pride, open your eyes” gives me goosebumps
I know right?! So incredibly relevant!
sim, é muito atual
Favorite part
It’s not often the best part of a song is right at the end. His gentle voice makes it so much better, you have incredible music taste!
It gives you goosebumps because it is referring to the garden of Eden when Satan said to Eve if you eat of this fruit it will open your eyes and you shall become like gods. It’s so hard to get across to people how much secular music can be so enjoyable but the force behind it Comes from a very dark place I always suggest reading the lyrics. I say this with peace and love
Possibly one of the most creative, lush and interesting songs from that era.
This is an incredibly sophisticated song from the 1980s. There are so few songs that take you on an emotional rollercoaster. This one is without doubt a masterpiece.
To be fair...there's loads
TEARS FOR FEARS! You guys should NEVER STOP making music. Please, keep digging down and finding music that gives insight and hope to human kind. You guys a true artist.
Hi I recommend an indierock song called 'The Bond Villain' By Robert Nix
Remember this song is not about romantic love, it's about unconditional love, kindness and compassion for all.
Hugs & *Amen* :))
A very Todd Rundgren/ John Lennon-esque theme...
QuestionEverything you mean forgiveness and mercy?
Actually, it was written as a tribute to The Beatles
A little kindness goes a long way.
I want to read the words, print them out, post them everywhere! I’ve always loved this song, such great voices and musicality.
That time when Tears For Fears made a song for The Beatles….. AND NAILED IT!👍🏼👊🏼
I did not know that
@@staceymurray9644 the song sounds a lot like i am the walrus
You said it for me..
To take even a fringe from a Beatles cut to the next level and make it work takes talent and having no fear in the studio .
I heard many years ago this was in a way a combo of I am the Walrus and All you Need is Love. The Tears for Fears version
The song never gets old, the band never gets old. Still relevant message today. In the year of the shit storm, the world needs more Tears For Fears.
OMG, If that picture is realy yours, you are beautiful
@@garciavma1 dont watch
This song is so political 🙄 I still feel the same way after all of these years..
agree
Your a beautiful
It is great. My favorite part is near the end when Curt sings time to eat all your words swallow your pride open your eyes. It goes from great to transcendent for me. I done even know why. But I can’t stop singing that part over and over, even after the song is done. Hauntingly beautiful
I totally agree with you…!! I love the part too
Messengers!
I’ve always felt the same way!!! 🤓🤓😎👍🏼
Same! I thought it was only me.....but I turn up the volume when he sings that part....there's just something about it!!
Angelic voice❤
I truly believe this is one of the greatest pop/rock songs ever recorded. It is a masterpiece of Tears for Fears career, yet for some reason classic rock radio never plays it.
The world needs this now ☮️
I really feel this song should be recognized much more than it is. This is a masterpiece of songwriting, layered production and sound, and incredible artistry. So many different sections that blend together perfectly and sound amazing. It’s so underrated it’s a crime. Can’t believe this song is never really thought of these days in any “best of” types of lists.
This is a beethoven esque masterpiece yes you are correct
Sounds more like the Beatles than the Beatles did . .
agreed
The song was very popular back in the day. It made the rounds several times on the radio and on MTV and VH1. Sadly as great as it is. The general masses got tired of it and as music and people goes the masses moved onto the next big hit. Another thing that kind of killed the song was not to much later country music took almost a death grip on the country. That pretty much ended anything that sounded 80's or very early 90's. Also add that Roland and Curt split up and Roland had already move onto developing Raoul and the Kings of Spain, so Roland basically got what he got out of it and moved on. Tears for Fears have never been known to keep driving a song (that's probably not the correct word to use) past the album it was released on. Sure they will sing it in a concert but you generally don't see them keep driving to another rerelease. In the end it was good that The Hurting got basically leaked into the market. Otherwise they would have been a band that had essentially one release in the 80's outside of Sowing the Seeds of Love just making it out in 89.
Talk about it~
This song is so complex. And just when you think you have it nailed down, 3:59 jumps in and takes it to yet another level. Amazing.
An incredible smooth bridge in this magnificent composed song. My favorite part of the song. Nice to see i am not the only one appreciating it!
That's called a "counter melody" in musical terms, it's when you put an alternate melody over the same chords of a verse or a chorus. For that reason, Roland begins to sing over Curt's melody in that part and it works perfectly.
Yes, agreed.
@@flowww37 thank you for telling us about this and the meaning musically.
Tears for fears. True genius.
This song is a giant footprint of 80s music.
or, 1967 Beatles
Was 16 in 1980 and 26 in 1990. The 80s were by far the best decade. I just turned 60 last month!!!! Where has the time gone. BOOMER.

What a tune! I'm 52 and always knew the song, but never heard it, strangly. Love it
I've been listening to this song for over 30 years and what I noticed now at age 43 is this song is actually several different songs woven into one that's absolutely genius these guys are freaking awesome take me back to the 80s take me back to the 90s baby I'm done with 2023
I'm 46 and when this came out, I was just getting my own sense of what music to like and this reminded me so much of The Beatles - despite my friend taking the piss for listening to music from before I was born! This really has lots of hint of Lennon and Strawberry Fields Forever... Or is my hearing loss really that bad now?
Some of the vocals are not that different from Mat Johnson of The The, a bit dark and gritty?
@@maldonboy1 The verse has an echo of I Am The Walrus.
The song is about crooked politics in the US they wrote song after reading an article in a newspaper
@@shanksymiester3195 gosh, and how crooked they have gotten

i was happy boy growin up in rural north cali !!

Roland has a commanding voice! Just makes their songs that much better!!
This man is a genius amazing artist.

Re-discovering these artists has given me a much needed punch of hope. It's Jan 2021. Also ...Roland, ...❤
Similar voice to the late great George Michael.??.
It's 2024 and I still dig this band.
I love this band ❤❤
Me, too!
Me 2
With all the shit going around .. this song is more relevant than ever!
Me, too.
Sowing the seeds of love is the best song ever.
One of my favs from Tears For Fears. This song is legendary
Saw them last night in KC. Left with my jaw dragging on ground. Ro's voice is as good as it gets. Exquisite musicianship and a hell of an entertaining show
Could not agree more. They were so happy to be touring and seeing people love their music. The new CD is a masterpiece and I wish more people knew about it.
I played this song over and over again back in 1989. Definitely has the Beatles influence and such great production. It's a masterpiece that takes you on a musical journey.
First time I heard I thought someone released a lost Beatles tune. Could hear Lennons voice and Martin's arrangement.
YEEESS!! I love when there is a heavy influence, but it's new and fresh! The meter of their melodies are incredible!
Well said my flashback friend!
Is it from "I am the Walrus" tune?
@@h.s.l2503 Yes.
Everything these two ever wrote and sang is GOLD !!! Bless Tears for Fears .. Love your music and have since your first album THE HURTING.
This song has such a beautiful message. Only spiritual love can lead humanity into a bright future.
If every one in this world could think like you✌✌✌
Thanks friend! 🙂🌞🌻🙏✌
Define spiritual love
@@mikelewchuk Spiritual love is our highest nature. Our Divine nature. Our higher 'I'. The Christ within us. There are many great writers who were aware of this. But the most insightful was probably Rudolf Steiner. 🌞🌻✌🙏
Jesus is the only way out .
Man can never achieve this without the Lord .
This song is good but the message is of mankind thru Lucifer can achieve the highest calling.
Sowing the seeds of love, 32 years after its release brings a thousands emotions and tears of joy in the eyes. what a powerful MASTERPIECE pop song
1989, I just turned 25, after 2 years my relationship came to an unhappy ending, I was heartbroken and travelled to PARIS for a month to get my head clear again and on the train I listened to this great album, I felt better when I arrived in Paris and had a BLAST THERE. Best time of my life 😆
Omg it's been 32 years??? Still good music
It's almost "2022", who's still listening...Great songs, never get old...so meaningful!❤

Same goes for A-ha. Great music, no appreciation from the crowds, love from those who know. Coldplay ripped them off and commercialized all their creations.
Thank you. And the same to you, fellow good music lover.
I loved this song when I was a teenager. I didn't realize its meaning. Now I can find out what it's about. They were warning us to open our eyes, to open our consciousness. Thanks TFF.
Wrong, its 'revelation of the method', they are controlled puppets, just likethe rest!
4:01 is my favourite part all the time!
One of the best bands ever. They should have been more recognized for their incredible talent. Their music lives on forever.
they are recognized !! :)
TFF should be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame
Releasing a new album in Feb 2022
Love Tears For Fears ^^
Tears For Fears will never get old! ♥♥♥
Isn`t the fact that their songs live on *forever* recognition enough ?
The world needs more music with this quality.
Tell that to Today's artists and the Music Industry that allows just anyone in the game and push back the few who are inspired by the good stuff who produce quality material.
Edgar Alberto Gómez Villacís Agreed
Look up ASAP Rocky
Not possible. There are only a few tracks of this quality. Obvious really.
You can't compared Tears for Fears to others. There can be only 1.
One of the most spectacular rockin'-pop tunes/songs/lyrics of the 80s that should put Tears for Fears comfortable in the company of Beatles and U2. A masterpiece with the video scoring a perfect 10.
One of the best produced songs you'll ever hear. A marvel of acoustic engineering. Good song too. Roland is at his finest.
A true masterpiece, both lyrically and melodically.
pretty much sums up the entirety of this band for me.
And harmonically
There is so much "Beatles" in this song.... no wonder its an amazing song.
Little bit of Beatles here Petrovich
@@MAGAWARRIORS2 A little bit too much of a little bit yep
This song was SUCH cutting edge at the time, partly due to the video which was amazing computer graphics at that time.
I love the part where it goes “ Time to eat all your words, swallow your pride...” and then OVER THAT kicks back in with - “High time we made a stand & shook up the views of....” TOTAL BRILLIANCE

Peace Love 💕 you also.
JP isn't that the truth about this band, pure talent, intellect and 💜.
Great comment.
These two had great vocals that really complemented each other.
Only recently have I been appreciating this song. It was so overplayed when it first came out on radio and MTV, that I tended to ignore it. 35 years later, I am really loving it.
Same
Sarah when I first heard , I knew it was a master Piece. So deep very few understand it back then and now.
I wish they had played it more in my city. They didn’t play it much at all when it was new, and never these days. 😞
Me too.. I didn't give it much attention when it first came out..but now, I realised that i had completely passed over a gem and has since begun to like and appreciate it..
I've sent it to several people n said how it brings back memories allover America on MTV because it was always playing! Great tune!
Planting seeds of knowledge
How is this song so great? It’s seriously perfect. It’s like the gods of music said, “OK, we’re gonna grant ONE band a dose of the magic we gave the Beatles, only it’s gonna be a HUGE dose, and they have to use the whole thing on ONE SONG.”
One of the most important songs ever written.
Huh??
This song sounds nostalgic and current all at once. Roland's vocals are sublime!
Roland's voice is incredible and instantly recognizable! I was hoping to run into him or Curt, or both when I was visiting and walking the streets in Bath 4 years ago. Also had my eyes peeled for Peter Gabriel to come walking round. Never happened. Damn!
I'm 65 and I just listened to the versions on here of it and they all sound great I'm listening to it right now
3:59 Great line:
"Time to eat all your words
Swallow your pride
Open your eyes"
Indeed
it makes me shiver every time (since then)
Favorite part of the song
He is cat. Curt i love You forever.
One of the greatest British Groups of the 80's and 90's
Mark Wright Ever.
Mark Wright I agree.
British in American person’s life... Anglo America iron and clay... Crushed by the rock Jesus 🤔 I don’t know what you think? A lot of British song writers and artists making songs about a brown woman in America... wonder why?

Exactly, they complement each other so much! I need them both. They’re so perfect with each other. Thanks God, they‘ve found each other, and we can hear the product of their friendship.
At the time this was largely considered a Beatles rip off.
The 80 will never come back 😢
I remember when this came out in 1989. I was totally fascinated with this video. These guys were apart of my sound track growing up. They are both so handsome and talented.

This is absolutely a masterpiece indeed. Who knew all these years later how important these lyrics would be...
Very prophetic, if the relationship of organised life to the people and planet.
Tears for fears was ahead of the times on the stuff going on in the world. They saw the good and bad happening. And the music I grew up listening to as a kid and teen has never rang truer than it is these days. I think the 80s music needs to come back out and cover these times lol.
It is indeed true music- been listening since early 80's
they were insanely mature intelligent for their age. they were only 21 when the pale shelter stuff came out and change too. im still blown away by how good they are
Been a fan since I was a kid I'm 41 in two weeks and I still love this group and you're absolutely right about them being prophets
