It is a protest song. It is about making your voice heard when you disagree with the direction of things.
Shouting, screaming actually, with the direction of things at the moment. 😂
yeah it is inspired by the cold war....and the politics around 1984 when ghis came out✌️
@@Spear77 This whole album WAS therapy as far as I'm concerned. One of the best pop/rock albums of the entire 80s!
I totally agree@@nancysmith8626
The lead singer, or rather the one who paid off all the bills to keep the band name, has said that it's a therapy song. Specially about primal scream therapy.
"SOWING THE SEEDS OF LOVE" is the banger protest song by Tears For Fears you didn't know you needed. It will be instant playlist!
The song that caused them to break up.
The search for perfection.
And they didn't know then.
But it is absolutely perfect..😎🤟🏻
You can play spot all the hidden Beatles references in that one. Apparently there's at least a dozen...
And the lyrics are maybe even more applicable today
whats with everyone saying protest song?
I've been a fan of tears for fears for like 20 years now and I've never taken any of these songs as "protest" songs.
_Tears Roll Down_ was my favorite on that album. I would listen to it at least 3x in a row each time I put the CD in.
Mad World is a fantastic song as well. There's sadness in the midst of sheer angst of a societal misfit, overlooked and forgotten.
Yes Mad World please!!!! Love versions by others too like Adam Lambert when on AI. I still watch it…standing ovation from Simon. lol.
But can’t beat Tears for Fears!!!
Gary Jules did a great cover of Mad World
😊 I love the acoustic Curt Smith did with (I assume?) his daughter
Amazing. He was singing our problems 35 years ago. Issues we are still dealing with! 😮😮
You need to add another 5 years to that age please 😅😅😅stay safe and educate ❤❤
People have been dealing with these issues since the Dawn of Man. History is *no* mystery.
@@JustMe-vk4fn💯 pretty funny that so many people think we have evolved beyond some point as humans. At the end of the day we are still selfish and stupid animals to a large extent and will always, always repeat history
You said it….
Met them after a show in Philly on my 22nd birthday! They were so nice, signed my tickets and a magazine article about them. Hung out all night with Manny the drummer and he even sent me a postcard after. Just genuine, nice people!
Oh I’m envious!
@@KMS58 it was awesome! Especially as a starstruck 22 yr old.
Sowing the seeds of love NEEDS to be next! 🙌
great song
Totally amazin
night of the proms version is the best
Whaaaaat WHAT!!!!!!
The opening of this song takes me to happier times. Carefree times. Being a child without a care in the world.
Yes..and listening to the actual music ,not so much lyrics...that's what I would always gravitate to 1st...it's primal you hear the "music" you immediately want to move...if it's good 👍😁
One of the best bands of the 80s. They still sound great.
You're spot on with calling this a therapy song. Tears for Fears were known for using pop psychology references in their songs.
Absolutely. They used to call it "primal therapy" back in the 60s. Sometimes we need to scream and let it all out.
@@thebillryan They actually studied that Theory when writing Songs. Go look at their first Album "The Hurting" and the references are there.
@@xoxxobob61 I did not know that. Thanks for the added detail. I only became familiar with this form of therapy when John Lennon and Yoko Ono were doing " Primal Scream Therapy", back in the late 60s.
TFF were legit heavy hitters. Change, Mad World, Head Over Heels, Woman in Chains and the list goes on and on, hits after hits after hits.
Pale Shelter...
Advice for the Young at Heart
Badman's song
Their album "The Hurting" is about being on the verge of suicide because of child abuse but fighting on and taking back your life
My favorite album, it's freaking amazing!
The Hurting is an incredible album!
one of the best albums ever. Pegasus, react to some of their most recent performances, they still sound so good, if not better. Tears for Fears, Wham!, Pet Shop Boys led the second British Invasion of American music.
If you "break" a heart that is filled with pain and bad experiences from the past, all of those negatives can spill out and the heart can finally begin to heal. It's like draining infection from a wound.
I was thinking they want everyone in the world to know and really feel all the awful things happening so we can all work to change it. But that fits right in with what you're saying too.
"And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
I'd really love to break your heart"
yeah, that was cool thinking.. or they could mean breaking the Ice of those filled with the bad kind of ice. the cold-hearted, who Fear to feel, because they got hurt or whatever.
Generally we agree its not the usual meaning. It wouldnt make sense
Wow! 👍
💯
This was huge in the day. Tapped right into our teen angst along with "Don't You Forget About Me".
TFF was not the regular 80's band. They had depth in the lyrics and music. Both singers can sang as well.
Deep, deep, catalog.
One part of the trio including The Cure and Depeche Mode.
This was HUGE!! Still sounds fantastic. ❤ Today the SANE people need to Shout; just the insane seem to be loud, that’s for damn sure. Still have my vinyl of this one.
“Woman in Chains” is a MUST!
Yesss please
Most Definitely!! Tears for Fears with Oleta Adams a must hear.
The band's name is related to Primal Scream therapy, which focuses on buried feelings and origins of neurosis in childhood trauma. Roland's (the guitar player with a deeper voice) father was a cruel abusive man who terrorised the family, whether physically or psychologically I don't know. Hence the line they gave you life and in return you gave them hell. He's letting his pain out in this song, his need for the abuser to acknowledge the pain he caused, to feel it (I'd really love to break your heart). So yes, this is a therapy song.
There is no Primal Scream Therapy (unless it is a fake version). There is the initial book which describes a man who was allowed react in a session and screamed out at one point and felt much better after connecting with 'unfelt pain' at an earlier point in his life. There is the first book The Primal Scream referencing it and there is The Primal institute, a therapy day centre, Basically if people go and get in too deep right away it can be damaging. Essentially it means there is too much reaction to integrate. Some essential features developed there are that first sessions can be open ended - Conventional therapy generally stops you getting to anything useful in a standard hour. Secondly the therapy is mainly non-interventionist except to keep people from getting in too deep too fast. Because it works well, patients/ clients are encouraged to mix socially and bring any issue to the next session or a group session. There is no slipping backwards once an issue is out in the open, although the process had become much gentler and insightful over the years. Art Janov's biggest 'crime' was his expressed enthusiasm which simply pissed off a lot of the medico-psychiatic profession. People seem to get all the info on the therapy from sensational news sources rather than reading one of the books. Screaming is not essential to the process :-) of healing. It's simply uncovering a hidden area of life and releasing pain, usually in crying. Vivian Janov, Art's wife, a child psychologist, put in a lot of good knowledge to the therapy and produced excellent results over the years.
Yet another brilliant British band....a couple of years ago they brought out a new song called The Tipping Point, and they are as good in their sixties as they were here....also check out, Woman in Chains and Everybody Wants to Rule the World, you won't be disappointed 😊✌🇬🇧
Another great British band of the eighties! I love this song! This is a song about life’s challenges in general! They are not brothers!❤❤
Saw them in concert last year (2023) in Atlantic City....Flat out amazing. They sound as good now as they ever did in the 1980s.
I loved Tears for Fears. This band was my absolute favorite in this genre of 80's music
Holy crap! I love "breathing in the flowers", and "blowing away the bees". I'm so adopting that. Thank you!
Seen them last year, and they still sound just as good!
1984, 16 years old, in a car with a bunch of friends, driving along PCH playing this song and singing along. So many fantastic memories of the '80s and the music of my teenage years. Still have the LP and play it often.
Same in the train ...After lycée... France
There's actually a shout out to this song in "Everybody Wants To Rule The World". The line that says "So glad we've almost made it, so sad they had to fade it" was in reference to the fact that the producer faded "Shout" at the end, but Tears For Fears didn't want him to
Never knew that! Great trivia.
Sowing the Seeds of Love. A visual and audial masterpiece!
They were school friends and were in a Ska band together before they broke off and started TFF. Their catalog is deep and they released a great album two years ago called The Tipping Point. Still kicking butt.
They still sound phenomenal live. I saw them last year, the year before that and a couple times before that in the 2010's. Absolute perfection live but definitely live.
Shout. It's about his relationship with his parents, his cold upbringing and difficulties. His opening up to share and shout about it. His therapy to get over it.
This song was HUGE when it came out. If there was a spot higher than #1 on the charts then this song would have hit it. They would interrupt this song on the radio to play this song and then go back to the rest of the song. It was nuts.

"This Is A Therapy Song"
You're correct, Pegasus.
Roland Orzebal actually got the song's title, as well as the band's name, from a book written by a renowned therapist who used the shouting out your frustrations as a therapeutic release
Also, those people who are descending the stairs to join with the band for the performance scenes are the families of the band members
As an Emergency Nurse I often tell patients to “smell the roses/flowers and the blow out the candle” great for anxiety & slowing your heart rate.
Love your reactions to our amazing 80s music that a lot of us grew up with ❤️🦘🦘🦘
I saw them last year. They still sound *exactly* like that... they haven't lost a step
I'm a huge tff fan as a 50 odd year old bloke..
I grew up NOT appreciating them.
Then I grew up and grew a brain, and realised they are quite brilliant and one of the best bands from the 80s.
As musicians and song writers.
They wrote anthems.
They broke up badly back in the day, because they were both searching for perfection.
And sowing the seeds was the straw that broke the camel's back..
It was as they admitted, the search for perfection, not realising that it is a perfect song..
They did everything Pegasus..
Fully electronic songs as in mad world.
Beautiful ballads as in woman in chains
Catchy pop songs like this and everybody wants to rule the world..
I love them so much and glad they made up as friends and got the band back together.
They have had loss and tragedy, both made families and come full circle..
And trust me .I listen to everything, got tickets for slipknot at the end of the year..
But I can equally listen to akala..
😎🤔
Another 80s classic
Love this band! So much talent! "Woman in Chains" - deep song featuring Oleta Adams. OMG!
This is an amazing song. They came on to the scene in 1985. The year my daughter was born. Live em
They were popular in uk about 3 years before 85
LOVED THESE FROM 8YRS OLD, MAD WORLD IS MY FAVOURITE SONG OF THEIRS LOVE FROM LIVERPOOL ENGLAND XX
Wikipedia-Orzabal has said that the song "is actually more concerned with political protest" than the common view that it is about primal scream theory.
The song was written in my front room on just a small synthesizer and a drum machine. Initially I only had the chorus, which was very repetitive, like a mantra. I played it to Ian Stanley, our keyboardist, and Chris Hughes, the producer. I saw it as a good album track, but they were convinced it would be a hit around the world.
Thanks for the explanation, brilliant 👍
This song was BIG in the best years of my life! Memories. TY for genuine Reactions
Oh yeah..this one JAM PACKED the dance floor back then!🤘🏼💃🏽✨😎
You NEED to react to Mad World! T4F's are EVERYTHING! Roland Orzaball, Curt Smith, Ian Stanley and Manny Elias! One of the best bands on the planet, imo. The Hurting is a perfect album, every single song, perfection! The Hurting is a THERAPY ALBUM!!!!!!! The song felt like the biggest song on the planet when it came out. If you haven't guessed, T$F's is MY band, them and Duran Duran and Echo & The Bunnymen. Great reaction, you are spot on!!
Tears For Fears was an '80s Explosion! ❤
This is my favorite TFF song, and one of my most favorite songs of all time. I loved it back in the 80s when I would go dancing with my friends at clubs, and STILL love it whenever I hear it. As much as I love 70s music (and I really do), I was a teenager in the 80s and we had some really good music then, too. I was into the alt rock especially - TFF, Depeche Mode, New Order, Blondie, Duran Duran, Madness, Human League, Echo and the Bunnymen, Joy Division, Adam and the Ants, the Specials, UB40... the list goes on and on. SUCH GOOD STUFF!! Thank you for reviewing this awesome song.
'Sowing the seeds of love' - one of my all time favs. Have a listen, you'll love it.
Their songs have so many musical layers ❤
I remember reading that they had to get up at the crack of dawn to shoot those amazing scenes on that cliff.
I believe Roland Orzabal was 19 years old when he wrote this song. Thinking not much of it, then their prodicer came racing into the room shouting "This is a #1 hit!!!", and Roland was like "Whut?". The producer was right, of course. I _love_ Orzabal's voice. (Him, and David Gahan of Depeche Mode.) He can _sang._ I saw a clip where he did an opera belt, which was quite something.
I saw Roland in his solo tour in a little club in downtown Detroit in 1996. He played all the Tears for Fears songs. It was a great concert.
You're right. It is a "therapy" song. Both Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith had troubled adolescence. The song is about "Primal Scream Therapy", 'Shout, Let it All Out', and "Songs From the Big Chair" is a reference to a movie called "Sybil" about a woman with 16 personalities who was always in the "psychiatric chair". I still have, and love this album. 💙
Bingo yes!
Yes!!!!! I watched this on MTV as often as possible, played it loudly in my car! My 3 kids (around your age) still remember this one and bring it up when talking about growing up. 😂
My beautiful brother! I never thought of it as therapeutic. 56 years old and you just blew my mind!
Smell in the flowers & blow Away the bees! Greatness in your thinking and doing. Heaven rejoices. God's blessings upon you and your family!🔥💯🙌🤠🙌
The neat thing about the video were that all the people at the end were friends and family
And also awesome lol❤❤❤
They are homies , I love Tears for Fears , this song and Head Over Heals are my favorite !!!
To be fair, they actually DO have an almost familial resemblance to one another. I can easily see them being mistaken for brothers.
Tears for Fears "HEAD OVER HEALS" ❤
You got to check out "Head Over Heels." It's definitely my favorite song by them. They were the first band I got to see live without parental supervision. It was an amazing show, I was in the pit being crushed but loved every second of it. 😸
Saw them in early 80’s at the Grand Old Opry. Acoustics were unbelievable. Best sound l ever heard at a concert. They were fantastic.
Yes the song is about Shout therapy. Should also check out Mad World, Pale Shelter, Sowing the Seeds of Love, Woman In Chains, Mothers talk, Change, Advice for the Young at heart, My Demons,
BP you have to hear Tears for Fears - Mad World next!!!
Loved this song immediately. Their voices are incredible.
Another interpretation of “I’d really love to break your heart” would be, if you’re partner is so emotionally closed off, it’s another way of saying “I wish you would be open & be vulnerable enough in our relationship that I could break your heart”.
The ability to break someone’s heart is directly correlated to the amount they care about you.
This is one of my all time favorite songs.
"Sowing the Seeds of Love" is an amazing song they did a little later in their career
These are two of the best vocalist ever! Putting them together was genius!😸
Aww…flowers and bees. What a good dad! ❤
If you just go on your own and deep dive into this band, I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed. Very skilled writing, producing and performing.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love that breathing technique you have with your daughter. That is Genius.
The beach this is filmed on is called durdle door at luworth cove. Dorset, uk. I live very close by 🙂
You should check out Terrance Trent Darby "Wishing Well", and "Sign Your Name" were his 2 big hits. Maybe some Duran Duran too. Love your stuff man.
❤Tears For Fears always has something to say in their songs.
They have so many great songs, always takes me back to things I was going through back in the day that really made me relate to this band.
You are on 🔥with your reaction songs today! Got me going back 40 years to my happy music place ❤. I grew up on these songs. They formed my world views. The music moved the world
one of my ALL TIME FAV SONGS from the 80's , Been listening to them since the song was NEW . Still love them.
And yet another one I haven't heard for years. I've been like "yeah yeah I know that song". You are helping me fill my playlist, that's for sure.
Everybody Wants to Rule the World started us all out of the TFF train. They just kept getting better and better. My personal favorite has to be Sowing the Seeds of Love. I hear they are back together after all these years writing new music? Keep the 80's flowing! As I remember it, one of the two [maybe both?] had a pretty sh*tty childhood and this was a bit of theray happening here. It's all a little fuzzy, it's been many years. Worth digging into suppose.
TFF started for me in the early 80s with Change, Mad World, and The Hurting album, which leant heavily on child abuse (from the point of view of the child), psychological trauma and depression. Resonated heavily to many teens at the time like myself. Came a few years before Everybody wants to rule the world.
No, Pale shelter, Mad world
Mad World.
These guys were utterly amazing live.
My sister and I went to a couple of their concerts when they were huge in the UK.
When they performed Shout everyone in the audience was joining in with synchronised clapping at certain points in the song.
I'll never forget the feeling of being that much in time with so many other people ❤
We had incredible music back then!
I forgot how good this song is
great band loved this first time i heard it all those years ago
Your right this song makes you want to shout. There are times when life tries to break you, let it out and just shout. Great reaction.👍👍
Tears for Fears forever! ❤
More please!!
Smell the flower! Blow away the bees! Love it!
This was always my favorite Tears for Fears song.
Mine too.
I remember as a kid all of us kids loved the movie Red Dawn and this song, Shout by Tears for Fears. We blared it every morning outside on our jam box waiting to be taken to school. Neighbors weren't kean but it's a core memory.
Wolverines!!
Love their laundry soap commercial. "Shout, Shout, Get it all out! These are the stains I can do without!"
❤❤sounds of my highschool days in the fabulous 80s❤❤😊😊😊
All the different types of percussion, I love it. It has such a powerful message that Disturbed would later give us a guitar heavy cover.
I always felt like "I really want to break your heart" was in terms of being able to be so open with someone that you hurt for them. When I care about someone and they tell me a tragic story that they experienced, it breaks my heart. Not just the tragedy or that they had to live through it, but that they trusted me enough to share it. So I feel like he's saying he wants to have that kind of deep, open, trusting relationship. He wants to be able to share intimate feelings without fear.
That's a very interesting perspective. I had never thought of it that way. Thank you!
Sowing the seeds of love is a true protest song. Awesome song
I remember this song from my high school years they had some good thought provoking music for some young guys .
Such a great band. The song they do with Oleta Adams, Woman in Chains is probably my favourite.
Roland Orzabal was inspired due to the U.K. obtaining nuclear weapons.
He’s very straight. Lost his wife a few years ago and had a nervous breakdown.
He and Curt Smith were at school together.
Try: Head Over Herls, Sowing the Seeds, Woman in Chains, Advice for the Young at heart, everybody loves a happy ending, break it down again. ❤
This is the era when bands got more with electronics than actual instruments ,sometimes, came up with really cool sounds & rhythms...
Wow, I never actually "listened" to the lyrics, thanks for making me do that Black P! 40!
And yet another great band of the 80s what a feel good song
I enjoyed that too! I love Tears for Fears, loads of catchy songs you can't get out of your head, nor should you. Saw them live at Blenheim Palace a few years ago, what a great location that was. You've done a couple of their songs, you cannot go wrong with Woman in Chains next!
This is one of the most popular 80's songs and rightly so!
Many think it’s a protest song. But it’s actually about…. Roland Orzabal has said that the song was inspired by the movie Sybil, which is about a woman with multiple personalities who feels safe sharing the horrors of her childhood in her therapist's office.
The original movie is was called Three Faces of Eve, with Joanne Woodward. Later they put out Sybil with Sally Field. Both excellent movies. Not all people should be parents. The abuse can be accidental or deliberate, as shown in both movies.
Three Faces of Eve and Syblil are about different women. "Eve" was a real case. "Sybil" turns out to be a fabrication by the therapist and the book's author; although "Sybil" was a real person, she did not actually have multiiple personality disorder (it is referred to as dissociative identity disorder - DID - today)
Well dam, I never knew this. Thanks for the info. Sybil was a great and sad movie.
The entire "Sybil" case is fascinating as Dr. Wilbur's work is controversial, to say the least. Not only has her relationship with the real "Sybil" raised ethical concerns (including boundary violations and exagerrating the story for her own financial gain), she also endorsed "conversion therapy" for gays. There have been a couple of books written over the years about the case and how the "facts" were fabrications/manipulations.
I think your confusion about Eve and Sybil being the same person is because Joanne Woodward played both "Eve" and Dr. Wilbur in the respective films.
I think you may be mistaken about this. ✌️ There was a B- side to the “Shout” release called “The Big Chair”. That was the song attributed to the movie “Sybil.” ✌️
Yasssss! Tears for Fears to me were a very underrated band. I loved all their songs. Love your reaction
These dudes are still making new music. This song "shout" is from the 80's outstanding song love it. But these guys just put out another album check out tears for fears " No small thing" another outstanding song and that song is only a few years old.
You hit a very valuable point in this one - the difference between "Hearing" a song, and "Listening" to a song.
Hearing, is passive. It just happens, and you hear all sorts of things every day, be it snatches of songs in shops, off radio, TV, etc, but it's also all the other stuff, shouting kids, cars, planes, just the stuff of life proceeding. You remember bits of it, but your brain discards most of the stuff you Hear as not important enough to remember.
Listening, on the other hand, is an active experience. You've consciously taken the time to focus on a song, to the exclusion of everything else. This sets your brain up to remember in a completely different way to just Hearing a song. Having Listened to the song, you'll be able to recognize & mentally rebuild the experience from memory, whenever you hear a snatch of it again...
It's the difference between "Oh, I've heard this", and "Oh, this is (Song) by (Artist)"...
2nd ever 45" single I ever bought. The first was "Mad World".
I love the breathing exercise for the little one. That's adorable
Man, I cant explain the excitement I feel as soon as I hear the intro to this song. Even though I've heard this song thousands of times over my 37 years. Lol!
I wish I could say I was GEN X but I missed it by being born in 1987 and being a millennial instead. 😢
But my hubby is GEN X born in early 1980. He was 4 years old when this song, "Shout" came out.
Tears for Fears is one of many of our fav bands to listen too. If we are on a road trip or vacation, we are either listening to all the 1980s hits songs in our playlist, and classic rock and 90s country and 90s rock more so than anything else. But I like a much wider genre of music then hubby does.
We certainly love our 80s music and movies. I wish I could have got to live through more of the 1980s. But the 90s was also a great decade for music and movies. My husband and I say the 1980s and 90s was the last of best decades.
I also have a great appreciation for much older music in many different genres but especially in early rock n roll and classic country music at its finest.
My mother was born in 1953. And so she was a huge Beatles fan and went to see them several times in concert. She was in love with Paul McCarthy. Lol
When I decided to learn how to play guitar, I took too the guitar really fast and could play by ear which helped alot. Practically everyone in my family myself included is a singer and musician. But unfortunately so many of them have passed on. And now they are jamming out with Stevie Ray Vaughan in Heaven. R.I.P.
Its a gift that has been passed down many generations in ny family.
I remember working hard and the process of learning how to play guitar and some of the first several songs I wanted to learn how to play on guitar right away. To name a few, the songs was Tears for Fears "Everybody Wants To Rule The World", Johnny Lang "Lie To Me", Scorpions "Rock You Like A Hurricane", The Beatles "Twist and Shout", The Animals, "House of the Rising Sun", The Judds "Mama He's Crazy" and "Grandpa".
Aerosmith "Jaded" & "Ragdoll".
Reba McEntires songs, "And Still & Does He Love You".
ACDC "Back in Black".
I have always loved a wide variety of music and genres and my list of songs has only continued to grow that I enjoy playing over the years. But I love the oldies and classics even more. Especially back when you actually had to have raw pure talent and be a fantastic singer or else you didn't make the cut. Now you can suck at singing karaoke and not sound anywhere near close as good as these legends in the past who sang live and didn't lip sing or depend on auto tune.
And some of these so called singers sound like a train wreck on karaoke which is why autotune is their best friend.
So yes, its nice to get back to these legends who were pure talent. And in many cases, they sounded even better live even though their studio version was awesome.
I mean just go back and listen to the Righteous Brothers in the live performance sincing Unchained Melody. It will knock your socks off for sure!
But man, I just feel the 80s oozing from this song "Shout" and it puts me in a blissed out state of mind. I wish I could Marty McFly my way back to the 1980s.
