      @@danbardos3498 The 'drums' in 'Everybody...' is a drum-machine, isn't it? At least originally, the way it was made in the studio, pretty sure it's a pretty smart usage of a drum sampler/machine and adding some accents here and there, to make it sound less robotic and programmable.

    The song was commentary on social stuff that was going on (and still is going on). This is from American Songwriter: "The lyrics to the song became an anthem against greed and power hunger in the world. In the opening verse, frontman Curt Smith sings about the inescapable eye of “Big Brother.” Elsewhere are allusions to nuclear war (There’s a room where the light won’t find you) and rising tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union at the time of the song’s release (Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down)."

      In 1984 there was not so much a concern about nuclear war as a sense of inevitability. Most everyone I knew seemed to feel like we were living on borrowed time. The nuclear arsenals of the USSR and USA were incomprehensibly huge and poised to bombard the planet to extinction with only a few minutes' warning. A lot of the music at that time had a sense of hapless partying at the end of the world. Think "I stop the world and melt with you".

      ​@chriscase6929 the Reagan Administration deftly used the media and Hollywood to foster this narrative of the US ready to launch at any moment. The US had been reducing its stockpile since the 60s, whereas the Soviets were increasing until 1987 with the INF treaty. The Soviets bankrupted and could no longer fund its satellites. Checkmate.

    I turned 20 in 1985 and remember Tears for Fears very well. Their songs have passed the ultimate test, the test of time. Sounding as fresh as a daisy, like they were written yesterday ❤

      I was 18 in 1985. That was such a great year for music. TFF has always been one of my favorite bands if not my favorite. So much great music in the mid 80's.

    The movie " Real Genius" starring Val Kilmer, original soundtrack main song. I can never turn this song off when it pops off. Like my parents had their song from the sixties, or seventies, this was our song in the eighties . You cannot turn it down only up. . ❤

    The line “so sad they had to fade it” refers to their song “Shout”. The producers or whatever record company execs thought “Shout” was too long of a song to be a single and wanted it cut down. I think the band fought back but may have ultimately had to give in.

  • @kylewoolsey6635
    @kylewoolsey6635 3 месяца назад +15

    That part where they sing about "the room where the light wont find you, holding hands while the walls come tumbling down, when they do , I'll be right behind you" to me that isn't about a shared brotherhood, but "Hey, if you fail, its mine. I'm coming right behind you to take it." Its a cutthroat line. Pale Shelter is another good one.

    • @erikrichards5072

    This is an epic record from the 80s. At the time it was called the British Invasion because there were so many British bands and singers on the American charts. My son is 11 and he can’t get enough of this song. It’s an 80s classic that has its own following and culture and it represents so many of us when we were teenagers. This would be a hit if it was released today. Fire 🔥

    Roland Orzobal is the main driving force of Tears for fears. He wrote almost all the songs.

    These guys are great songwriters, great singers. Highly appreciated in their time, maybe underappreciated afterwards. I think it's being a victim of the time they recorded, it's locked in a time capsule of 80's pop. But the songs are great, regardless of time. Also, this came out before 'The Way you Make Me Feel'

    This song was a MAJOR deal in its time, so much so that people like yourselves are still rocking it to 'till this day. They don't make meaningful music like this anymore.
