Tears for Fears - Laid So Low (Tears Roll Down) (HQ)

After The Seeds of Love, Orzabal and Smith had an acrimonious falling out and parted company in 1991. The split was blamed on Orzabal's intricate but frustrating approach to production and Smith's desire to slow down the pace of their work. Prior to The Seeds of Love, Smith's marriage had also broken down. Orzabal kept the band name alive by releasing the 1992 hit single "Laid So Low (Tears Roll Down)" in order to promote the greatest hits collection Tears Roll Down (Greatest Hits 82-92) which featured every single to reach the Top 20 either in the UK or internationally.
Lyrics:
Chewed the bone down too low
Got fed on tea and sympathy
Blew the sail like the wind
I wish you were my enemy
I was humble for you
What a fool I've been to have
Laid so low for so long
Into that void of silence
Where we cry without sound
Where tears roll down
Where tears roll down
And where your mother's violence
Sent your soul underground
Where tears roll down
Where tears roll down
Drew the blade way too slow
Was shackled by your honesty
Made a mess, I guess I have should have known
That life was lust and liberty
Not a chance mutation or the last temptation
Laid so low for so long, so low
Into that void of silence
Where we cry without sound
Where tears roll down
Where tears roll down
And where your mother's violence
Sent your soul underground
Where tears roll down
Where tears roll down

I've watched this multiple times. I'll watch it multiple times again. This is the penultimate Tears For Fears song.

And when your mother's violence
sends your soul underground
When tears roll down
when tears roll down

I have been a fan since 1982/83...when I first heard Mad World. This is probably one of my top 3 favorites, if not THE favorite...I remember hearing it the year it was released, I was graduating from HS, and played it over and over and over again....still do!

[@sammiework4218]

I love Tears For Fears so much and they came a long way from making this song called Everybody Wants To Rule The World, Shout, Head Over Heels, and many more.

[@TheTk1971]

sung with sheer guts and passion from deep within.

I remember being 17 - thinking this song and video was incredible.
