Kinda miss it Zach? I most definitely MISS IT!! Send me back for 30 minutes! Just long enough to buy that awesome Healey before the prices skyrocketed!! And to grab hold of one of those great ladies of the 80's that seemed to be missing nowadays!! Peace out...
_in violent times, you shouldn't have to sell your soul_ _in black and white, they really really ought to know_ _those one track minds, that took you for a working boy_ _kiss them goodbye! you shouldn't have to jump for joy_
+1 And I would add "Seeds of Love", they got that classic Beatles references in that song, and with that, wrote a "britpop-blueprint" before there was britpop (as a genre).
At the end of the song, when you said, "Noooooo. Why is it ending? Go back!" -- This is EXACTLY what I always thought whenever this was on the radio when I was growing up.
Hey @leroyrs , agree, this is by FAR an signature song of the 80s and my personal favorite. Just curious, to you thing the "Don't You Forget About Me" is as prominent as it is due to the Breakfast Club? I only ask because during discussion with others, when I have them listen to that side by side with Crowded House "Don't Dream It's Over" most people actually prefer the later. Just wondering your thoughts.
@@willwhitman7534 Sure "The Breakfast Club" made that song iconic. But IMO TFF and Simple Minds share a similiar sound. "Everybody rules the World" and "Alive and Kicking" have a comparable song structure with that positive very melodic upbeat sound.
The opening lyrics have always spoken to me..."Welcome to your life. There's no turning back." This song was released just as I was graduating from high school and turning 18 in 1985. The more time that passes, the more thought provoking those lyrics become. It was as if it was a send off to the rest of my adult life. And quickly, the older I got the more I began to realize there truly is no turning back. There are no do-overs. Once that time is gone, it's gone forever. Don't waste it. Make it the most of it. Here I sit, 39 years later with my 57th birthday just a couple of months away wondering where it all went and wishing I could have another chance to get it right.
I was born in 1981 and these 80s songs were playing all through my childhood. I miss that decade. I used to make mix tapes already when I was 5 or 6 years old, and still remember the annoyance when the DJ was talking over the intro of the songs on the radio. 😅
Everybody Wants To Rule The World was released in 1985. None of the band members are related. They are a great band who captured the mood of the time perfectly. You must check out the rest of their music.
Roland Orzabal (on guitar) and Curt Smith (on vocals) aren't related but they were childhood friends from Bath, England. They do have somewhat similar voices though, which could be a regional thing. Both actually share lead vocals pretty evenly throughout their catalogue. Curt is also the band's Bassist. Certainly check out "Head over heels" which features Roland on lead vocals. Also "Shout" (they were big into Shout therapy back then), "Advice for the young at heart", "Change", "Pale Shelter", "Mad World", "Woman in chains", "I Believe", "Sowing the Seeds of love"
Probably their best song...but not great for radio play back in the day (The beat isn't simple enough) so never got the attention it deserved. Should be part of everyone's music education though.
I don't know if anyone mentioned this before but, this song was used at the end of the movie 'Real Genius' just before the credits roll. A fun little movie to watch with a big bowl of "popcorn" 🍿. IYKYK.
Curt and Roland were friends in England, and this was released around mid 1980s. Curt (the singer) lives in the US now, and Roland (the guitarist) still lives in the UK, and have recently got together to perform these great bangers.
Fantastic Song, great album. Came out the summer of 1985. There are some great memories attached to that summer and this album. Check out Shout, by the same band. Feel better soon Biss!
_...all for freedom, and for pleasure; nothing ever last forever..._ They had many great lines in that song! I hope you're feeling better soon. Thanks for sharing your reaction.
These boys really were very much THE 80S in musical form, they're so great. This was one of THE all-time anthems of the Decade, definitely, every time I hear it it really takes me back to my childhood and a time when the world was ... very different. Sewing the Seeds of Love, Head Over Heels and Shout are the other absolute ESSENTIALS from these guys, and I would also recommend Mad World and Woman In Chains, they're both bangers too.
I lived in SoCal desert all my life. This video was filmed in Cabazon ( the Exxon station was in North Palm Springs). You used to be able to see the gliders being pulled and flying all the time there, now the area is covered with wind turbines and at the West end there is a large Indian casino and hotel. Times change. This was home for me, I miss it now, now in Washington State.
Hi Bisscute, you really should check out the singer with the pony tail and his daughter sing "Pale Shelter" from their home during covid. The singer is older now (and no more pony tail), but still sounding great! And his daughter sounds great too.
They have so many amazing songs, Shout, Mad world, Woman in Chains...you should dive in. Oh and this is one of the few songs where this guy is the singer. Most of them are by the other guitarist who has another really rich voice and they harmonize really well together. Love your reactions Bisscute and hello from Cherry Gardens South Australia!
In a similar vein Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker has a song called "Running The World" it's still relevant 17 years on and it's guaranteed to get you singing along to the chorus, there's a fantastic live version on RUclips from French TV
Tears for Fears is an amazing band and they are still touring and putting out new albums. I see them live every chance I get. Last time they came to town they had the band 'Garbage' open up for them and it was one of the best concerts I ever went to. I don't know how these two guys have preserved their voices so well.
This Song is the Essence of the 80s while at the Same Time being Completely Timeless, I Recommend the Movie " Real Genius " I think you will be pleasantly Surprised
Some songs like this take me back to a specific time and place when I was in my early '20s. Summertime, playing baseball, trying to impress a girl I had a hard crush for, getting teased by my friends about it. Like having a photograph burned into my memory, this song probably brings many others to a time and place that made them feel good. Even if hearing it for the first time, I hope music brings you to a particular time and place in your memory that is awesome. Love seeing others hear it for the first time too!!!!
Great to see you react to this - it is indeed an iconic 80s hit which was huge in the mid-1980s on both sides of the Atlantic. Tears For Fears are a great British band, the two main performers you see (singer Curt Smith and guitarist Roland Orzabal) are still together to this day and you can find clips of them performing live even in recent years and they still sound great. There are lots of good songs from them apart from this one: "Shout", "Woman In Chains", "Mad World", "Sowing the Seeds of Love", "Head Over Heels", "Laid So Low (Tears Roll Down)", "Break It Down Again", "Raoul and the Kings of Spain" - to pick just the main highlights!
This takes me back to my teen years. Please more Tears for Fears. I've always loved the official video for their song "Head Over Heels." The one playing guitar sings lead on that song.
This song was sung by bass player Curt Smith, and his musical partner is the guitar player, Roland Orzabal, with the two the bandleaders. Roland sings lead about half the time, and they generally always provide backup vocals for each other. Both of them endured very difficult childhoods, resulting in them both being very introverted, and they'd been undergoing Primal Scream Therapy to help break them out of their introverted shells - which is what inspired their song Shout. The band's name, Tears For Fears, was also inspired by their collective therapy and emotional struggles. Everybody Wants To Rule The World would easily make the list of the Top 20 most important songs of the 1980s, and this monster hit enjoyed 4 or 5 years of hourly rotation on the radio, along with the other smash hit from this album, Shout. EWTRTW has appeared in MANY movies and even more TV shows. Here's a (very likely incomplete) list of movies known to feature the song: Real Genius (1985) The Secret Of My Success (1987) Peter's Friends (1992) American Psycho (2000) Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013) (cover by Lorde) Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) Pitch Perfect 2 (2015) Deadpool (2016) Wonder Woman (2017) The Lego Batman Movie (2017) Ready Player One (2018) Alita: Battle Angel (2019) Trolls World Tour (2020) Tesla (2020)
In addition to the other songs mentioned, album closing track ‘Listen’ is very powerful. I found it so relaxing, that when it ends, I was effectively paralyzed. It doesn’t have much in the way of lyrics.
1985 was the year, I was 5 years old and music was always playing in the house. You would've probably seen me vibing to the song while playing with my toys in the living room. Good times. 🙂
Bisscute it is nice seeing how you appreciate good music. Such a pretty young woman enjoying music that was before her time and enjoying it. I love watching your reactions. Keep up the great video. Thanks from Washington state USA
I was one year out of high school when this was released. Sure miss those days, life was so easy then compared to now. This song and most of your musical reactions take me back to those days.
This was their break-out song and they had a few others before breaking up. My favorite is "Sowing the Seas of Love." Apparently the producers of the US dramedy "Psych!" really liked the band, and Chris Smith appears as himself in several episodes. It's a great series if you can get it in Europe.
Another classic dance tune in the 80s, beautiful guitar soloing too. You can't help but Move. "All for freedom and for pleasure, nothing ever lasts forever"...very 80s too. One of my top New Wave songs from the 80s (even as mostly just a metalhead back then) was "Melt With You" by Modern English, you DEFINITELY need to give it a listen, dear.
No, they just grew up good friends actually, the guitar player is a great singer too. He sings in a lot of the music you’ll find out if you check any of there stuff out😃They have many great songs🎼Check them out🌹
Been waiting 'a while' for you to get to this band, that was better than I thought, thanks! There are lots of beauties from them for you to listen to in time to come, so enjoy. In fact, a while ago one of the singers did an acoustic version with his daughter and it has 10 million views so far(!), I hope you check out their version of Mad World.
There’s a list of great TFF songs: Pale Shelter, Seeds of Love, Woman in Chains, I believe, Mad World, Advice for the you at heart, Head over hills, etc…
Pretty sure on one of your movie reactions, you reacted to Val Kilmer in 'Real Genius', the one where they filled the house with popcorn at the end. This track was the theme over the end credits of that movie.
You must check out the Live performances of Shout and Everybody Wants To Rule The World from 2007 in Belgium (Night of the Prom). There is a full Orchestra on stage performing with them. It's truly Awesome! Glad you like Tears for Fears. They recently came out with a new album in 2022. The Tipping Point. You can tell it has that Tears for Fears style but what's great is they updated the music in that album to the current times. Check it out!
For being almost 40 years old, this song is still the epitome of what life was like living in the 80's. I kinda miss it.
I was about to call you old as fuck. Then remembered my age. I’m with ya 😂🤙
This song headlines my Soundtrack of the 80's, for just this reason. It is the most 80's that ever 80's'd :P
Depresses me the gas prices, and he's driving an Austin Healey.
Kinda miss it Zach? I most definitely MISS IT!! Send me back for 30 minutes! Just long enough to buy that awesome Healey before the prices skyrocketed!! And to grab hold of one of those great ladies of the 80's that seemed to be missing nowadays!! Peace out...
@@Ramjetwarrior Bisscute is an example of a pretty great woman nowadays..
She needs to react to shout and head over heels. This one of my favorite songs from tears for fears.
_in violent times, you shouldn't have to sell your soul_
_in black and white, they really really ought to know_
_those one track minds, that took you for a working boy_
_kiss them goodbye! you shouldn't have to jump for joy_
@@sirmoonslosthismind Excellent song. Shout is an instant classic.
+1 And I would add "Seeds of Love", they got that classic Beatles references in that song, and with that, wrote a "britpop-blueprint" before there was britpop (as a genre).
* cough * _woman in chains_ * cough *
@@sirmoonslosthismind Excellent song as well
At the end of the song, when you said, "Noooooo. Why is it ending? Go back!" -- This is EXACTLY what I always thought whenever this was on the radio when I was growing up.
Tears for Fears-Sowing the Seeds of Love
Yes! And Mad World!
Yes!!!!❤
YES!
It's an 80s signature song - like Simple Minds "Don't you forget about me".
Hey @leroyrs , agree, this is by FAR an signature song of the 80s and my personal favorite. Just curious, to you thing the "Don't You Forget About Me" is as prominent as it is due to the Breakfast Club? I only ask because during discussion with others, when I have them listen to that side by side with Crowded House "Don't Dream It's Over" most people actually prefer the later. Just wondering your thoughts.
@@willwhitman7534 Sure "The Breakfast Club" made that song iconic. But IMO TFF and Simple Minds share a similiar sound. "Everybody rules the World" and "Alive and Kicking" have a comparable song structure with that positive very melodic upbeat sound.
May i suggest the Jam and Spoon remix?
@@RSOFT92 Sure - thx.
I only remember their 90 tunes like "Right in the night" or " Find me"
@@leroyrs
The only Tune from Jam and Spoon that i knew was "Follow Me", a 12 Minute Trance Classic (@Bisscute: also worth a listen).
This song is the quintessential 80’s song. One of the reasons it’s my favorite decade.
They say the song of your life is whatever was #1 when you turned 12 years old. For me "Shout" by this band is the song representing me.

Romania is cute. Your accent melts hearts
The opening lyrics have always spoken to me..."Welcome to your life. There's no turning back." This song was released just as I was graduating from high school and turning 18 in 1985.

I'm 67 and I ask the same questions

50 here and I feel you 100%
The handbook for life is in the post, Still!
A true classic from the best yr of music in the 80's, 1985.
Everybody Wants To Rule The World was released in 1985. None of the band members are related. They are a great band who captured the mood of the time perfectly. You must check out the rest of their music.
Roland Orzabal (on guitar) and Curt Smith (on vocals) aren't related but they were childhood friends from Bath, England. They do have somewhat similar voices though, which could be a regional thing.

Certainly check out "Head over heels" which features Roland on lead vocals.
Also "Shout" (they were big into Shout therapy back then), "Advice for the young at heart", "Change", "Pale Shelter", "Mad World", "Woman in chains", "I Believe", "Sowing the Seeds of love"
Elemental, Break It Down, Raoul and The Kings Of Spain - Sorry, The Tipping Point, No Small Things etc
Tears For Fears - "Woman In Chains"
Biss ... That’s a must-have in your repertoire!!
Probably their best song...but not great for radio play back in the day (The beat isn't simple enough) so never got the attention it deserved. Should be part of everyone's music education though.
Oleta Adams nailed it! I love the Californian Nights concert.
Yes! And damn it sounds good on vinyl. One of the best mixes ever.
This song is very nostalgic for people who were teenagers in the 80s, it was on the radio constantly for like a year.
I don't know if anyone mentioned this before but, this song was used at the end of the movie 'Real Genius' just before the credits roll. A fun little movie to watch with a big bowl of "popcorn" 🍿.
IYKYK.
Yes! I remembered that!
YES! Every time I hear this song and think of that movie and where it was in the movie ... MUST have popcorn! LOL
Same😊
It was also used in Bumblebee
One of my favorite movies! Saw it in the theater, and many times since.
Tears For Fears songs to check out Shout, Head Over Heels, Mad World.
Curt and Roland were friends in England, and this was released around mid 1980s.
Curt (the singer) lives in the US now, and Roland (the guitarist) still lives in the UK, and have recently got together to perform these great bangers.
This song represents the 80's like an anthem.
Another amazing song of this band you'll really enjoy is Advice For The Young At Heart.
My daughter is now 40. Back when she was 2 she insisted that we listened to Tears for Fears when in the car always 😎☺️
Love listening to this driving on an open road as the sun goes down. 😎
at palm springs ca
Tears for Fears - Shout, also Mad world, ( You may have heard versions of this one, but this band are the originals that sang it).
I'll be honest, I like the Gary Jules version from Donnie Darko better. I think they sing it too fast.
@@3DJapan The slowed down version hits more in a depressing manner, i think the faster original hits more of the madness of repetitive living.
Fantastic Song, great album. Came out the summer of 1985. There are some great memories attached to that summer and this album. Check out Shout, by the same band. Feel better soon Biss!
Head over Heels is classic as well-
this was a big song in 1985 and was played in regular rotation on the radio for the rest of the 80s.
Had this song on repeat here in Ireland when I was young in the 80s. Utter Classic.
Tears For Fears is a great group to jump down the rabbit hole with. Great musicians and songwriters.
_...all for freedom, and for pleasure; nothing ever last forever..._
They had many great lines in that song!
I hope you're feeling better soon. Thanks for sharing your reaction.
💜💜💜🎶🎶🎶💜💜💜 also “Shout” and “Head Over Heels” “Sowing the Seeds of Love” and “Break It Down Again” are GREAT songs from them 💜💜💜☺️
Woman in chains and Mad World.👍
@@alejandromartinez1766 YEAH!!! 😎🤜💥🤛😎
This song is from the movie "Real Genius". Great Movie!!!
Probably the best musical guitar solo in any song, ever. Soooo good.
The one at the end of their song 'Shout' is also epic! 🤩
An iconic song and wouldn't mind going for a summer drive in that nice 60's Austin-Healey 3000 mark 3 thats in the music video.
These boys really were very much THE 80S in musical form, they're so great.

One of the best songs of the 80's, I listen to it every time its on any radio station. And as a guitarist the solos in this song are fire.

windy point and the sultan sea
@@j0k3rday Yes but Salton Sea. Whitewater River used to go right by the sand dunes there.
This song was in a 80's comedy called Real Genius starring Val Kilmer that became a cult classic.
Hi Bisscute, you really should check out the singer with the pony tail and his daughter sing "Pale Shelter" from their home during covid. The singer is older now (and no more pony tail), but still sounding great! And his daughter sounds great too.
And the singer is Curt Smith. My bad, I should have known that.
This song is from 1985 and they both are not related by friends . this song is an anthem for generations to come . ( Bisscute Happy Birthday !!! )
Shout and Head Over Heels are must reactions. Tears For Fears were an 80s band so right. Great reaction and hope you get better soon.
it is a classic almost an anthem in the 80´s
Ah finally, Tears for Fears, one of the most important bands from the 80's, you`re gonna love them :)
Epic group from the 80s. You should also check out ‘Shout,’ ‘Head over Heels and ‘Don’t you forget about me.’ 🫶🏻🙌🙌
Yes! absolutely love these 🤩🤩🤩
I've loved this song since 1985. It's just beautiful.
And look at those instruments. This is not a rock song but they play actual instruments.
I LOVE this reaction by you! One of my all time favorite songs. There are some GREAT tracks by TFF & I hope you explore some more. ❤❤❤
They have so many amazing songs, Shout, Mad world, Woman in Chains...you should dive in. Oh and this is one of the few songs where this guy is the singer. Most of them are by the other guitarist who has another really rich voice and they harmonize really well together. Love your reactions Bisscute and hello from Cherry Gardens South Australia!
One of my favorite songs, combines the 80s, road trips and good vibes!
Tears For Fears "Sowing The Seeds Of Love" 🔥❤️🔥
In a similar vein Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker has a song called "Running The World" it's still relevant 17 years on and it's guaranteed to get you singing along to the chorus, there's a fantastic live version on RUclips from French TV
I love this song, it takes me back to my disco days, work all day to dance all night!
You should review "Mad World" by Tears for Fears, as well as "Shout", "Head Over Heels", "Pale Shelter", and "Change".
Tears for Fears is an amazing band and they are still touring and putting out new albums. I see them live every chance I get. Last time they came to town they had the band 'Garbage' open up for them and it was one of the best concerts I ever went to. I don't know how these two guys have preserved their voices so well.
This Song is the Essence of the 80s while at the Same Time being Completely Timeless, I Recommend the Movie " Real Genius " I think you will be pleasantly Surprised
One of the greatest songs ever written IMHO
thanks again biss, be well and take care

Years ago I saw Tears for Fears in concert in Milan, it was beautiful, they played all their greatest global hits
Tears for Tears - Mad World. Change. Pale Shelter. Head Over Heals.
This takes me back to my teen years. Please more Tears for Fears. I've always loved the official video for their song "Head Over Heels." The one playing guitar sings lead on that song.
Still around touring and killing it just like the 80’s….two great singers and are just great musicians.
This song was sung by bass player Curt Smith, and his musical partner is the guitar player, Roland Orzabal, with the two the bandleaders. Roland sings lead about half the time, and they generally always provide backup vocals for each other.

Everybody Wants To Rule The World would easily make the list of the Top 20 most important songs of the 1980s, and this monster hit enjoyed 4 or 5 years of hourly rotation on the radio, along with the other smash hit from this album, Shout. EWTRTW has appeared in MANY movies and even more TV shows. Here's a (very likely incomplete) list of movies known to feature the song:
Real Genius (1985)
The Secret Of My Success (1987)
Peter's Friends (1992)
American Psycho (2000)
Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)

The Lego Batman Movie (2017)
Ready Player One (2018)
Alita: Battle Angel (2019)
Trolls World Tour (2020)
Tesla (2020)
IMO, the best pop song of the 1980’s. So catchy and performed by truly talented artists….loved this trip down memory lane!
Don McLean - Vincent "Starry, Starry Night" (With Lyrics and paintings)
In addition to the other songs mentioned, album closing track ‘Listen’ is very powerful. I found it so relaxing, that when it ends, I was effectively paralyzed. It doesn’t have much in the way of lyrics.
The drum playing is so sick! The vocal is perfection! The review is sweet, life is good! Change my mind , did i just saw greatness here or what?
"Shout" is good also.
The journey begins! Great band!
Another great song from this band, and real favorite of mine, is "Shout".
1985 was the year, I was 5 years old and music was always playing in the house. You would've probably seen me vibing to the song while playing with my toys in the living room. Good times. 🙂
A very big song in it's time. Please say more words with Ŕ. It's so good mmmmm. Ears melting.
Bisscute it is nice seeing how you appreciate good music. Such a pretty young woman enjoying music that was before her time and enjoying it. I love watching your reactions. Keep up the great video. Thanks from Washington state USA
They have several great hits, like Soving the Seeds and Head over Heels. Wish you better Health 🤧
great summer song!
Aún no reproducía el vídeo y ya tenías mi like👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Excelente canción ❤❤❤❤
I was one year out of high school when this was released. Sure miss those days, life was so easy then compared to now. This song and most of your musical reactions take me back to those days.
The song was released in 1985. A timeless classic. 🙂
Mad World is fantastic... Try it out.
One of the best songs of the 80s. Probably top 5
This was their break-out song and they had a few others before breaking up. My favorite is "Sowing the Seas of Love."
Apparently the producers of the US dramedy "Psych!" really liked the band, and Chris Smith appears as himself in several episodes. It's a great series if you can get it in Europe.
Please do another video of you saying "oh he's a little sheriff!" over and over again. LOVE that!
Great reaction. This song was huge in the summer of 1985. I would suggest Head Over Heels next. Feel better!
Another classic dance tune in the 80s, beautiful guitar soloing too. You can't help but Move. "All for freedom and for pleasure, nothing ever lasts forever"...very 80s too.
One of my top New Wave songs from the 80s (even as mostly just a metalhead back then) was "Melt With You" by Modern English, you DEFINITELY need to give it a listen, dear.
Head Over Heels is a beautiful song ❤❤
Mad World and Pale Shelter are my favorite songs. This was mid 80s
"So sad they had to fade it". When they wrote it, they knew we'd be sad when it ended.
Release date January 1, 1985 for Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World. Tears For Fears - Shout- is a bigger hit! Please react to it.
The 80's Sound Track!! Amazing song!!
from the same band, you'll find beautiful songs :
woman in chains
sowing the seeds of love
famous last words
elemental
break it down again
That great old school ❤
That guitar work is so underrated 🎸 wow
No, they just grew up good friends actually, the guitar player is a great singer too. He sings in a lot of the music you’ll find out if you check any of there stuff out😃They have many great songs🎼Check them out🌹
Reminds me of my senior year of high school
Been waiting 'a while' for you to get to this band, that was better than I thought, thanks!
There are lots of beauties from them for you to listen to in time to come, so enjoy. In fact, a while ago one of the singers did an acoustic version with his daughter and it has 10 million views so far(!), I hope you check out their version of Mad World.
Great reaction, Biss. Now I think your next Tears For Fears reaction should be the song "Shout".
The singer still got it, his voice is so good
One of a few big hits Tears for Fears had in the 80s: "Shout," "Head Over Heels," "Sowing the Seeds of Love," etc.!
There’s a list of great TFF songs: Pale Shelter, Seeds of Love, Woman in Chains, I believe, Mad World, Advice for the you at heart, Head over hills, etc…
Pretty sure on one of your movie reactions, you reacted to Val Kilmer in 'Real Genius', the one where they filled the house with popcorn at the end. This track was the theme over the end credits of that movie.
For more Tears for Fears, "Shout" is a must, but "Pale Shelter" narrowly edges it out for me.
Would love to see you react to either Spandau Ballet or Little River Band. Both bands were staples of the 1980's.
You must check out the Live performances of Shout and Everybody Wants To Rule The World from 2007 in Belgium (Night of the Prom). There is a full Orchestra on stage performing with them. It's truly Awesome! Glad you like Tears for Fears. They recently came out with a new album in 2022. The Tipping Point. You can tell it has that Tears for Fears style but what's great is they updated the music in that album to the current times. Check it out!
