@@davidbrisendine2916 I’d say one of the defining tracks of the 80’s ... don’t forget Queen Radio Gaga, Kind of Magic ... the stunning Who Wants To Live Forever .... also the other tracks I posted above too ....
Always loved that outro solo... I sold a guitar to Roland, the guitarist/singer/cofounder of Tears For Fears... I had to thank him for playing that amazing solo. He responded with a thank you. He also said that he’d wished he could’ve had another take, but even though he didn’t love it, everyone else in the studio did love it... Just a little bit of background, for you... ‘Head over Heels’ is another great TFF song.
@@estimatedleighton6389 the primary TFF guitar tone is in fact a Strat. I know that seems obvious, because he’s playing one in the video, but he did confirm it during our conversation... When I was helping him shop, they we’re planning on going into the studio, and Roland was considering other tones, to change up their sound a little... He was looking at ES335 models. He actually preferred the ES339, instead. This was around 2014/15 time frame.
Roland is a vastly underrated guitarist. There is so much great guitar work on the Songs From the Big Chair album, and he never gets enough recognition for it. The solo on Shout for instance is one of my all-time favorite guitar solos....
Oh man, this brings me back to my childhood. I can remember the day I bought this cassette and two others (Madonna and Motley Crue). My Mum's old Chevy Blazer only had an 8-track player so I brought my boom box...and drove her nuts playing these songs over and over during our day of running errands. By the end of the day Ma was singing along with the volume cranked and the windows down. Damn...I miss her and all the great memories. Music always brings you back.
This song was in the ending of the movie "Real Genius". One of Val Kilmer's early roles. My favorite line from the song: "I can't stand this indecision, married with a lack of vision."
This is my “summer song” and probably my most favorite song. The minute I hear it I am instantly back in 1985.Such a different world then. So much more fun.
Yes indeed, the song is a masterpiece. A song with a strong message, which is still current, and unfortunately it will be like that forever. In live performances, during intro, Orzabal is always emotional, as if gathering the strength to sing it. In later interviews, he explained that the song describes his parents' bad and difficult relationship. There are so many such female stories. it is interesting that there are almost no reactions to this song. I wonder why. The song is a diamond that shines with emotion and message.
My favorite song of all time. The lyric: "I can't stand this indecision married with a lack of vision" always gets me. It exemplifies too much of our society, not being able to make decisions because we don't have enough vision (knowledge/wisdom basically). Tears for Fears was essentially telling us IN THE 80'S to go educate ourselves. Great reaction Jamel! Keep up the great work :)
This song came on the radio of the bus that was taking me to the airport when I joined the Army. The lyrics “welcome to your life. There’s no turning back” have stuck with me ever since. Wonderful song!
One of the most underrated bands ever. Just look at their greatest hits album,, some of the greatest hits of the 80s, shout, head over heels, everybody wants etc, paleshelter, mad world, sowing the seeds of love!
Are they actually underrated tho? I'm predominately a hard rock/metal fan and yet I consider tears for fears one of the greatest bands ever. Roland is true genius song writer
In 1984-ish this album came out. I was a freshman or maybe a sophomore in high school. Everyone raced home after school and huddled around MTV to see the premiere of this and Shout videos
Great suggestion. Deborah, other than Terrance I only have seen one other person do it well - this young guy from England named Jolan. Yes, it is his real voice - ruclips.net/video/42ASC5kMoYY/видео.html
And apparently so underrated that none of you lot can spell his erstwhile first name. He dispensed with Terence 20-years ago: even on streaming services, the tracks from his first few records are credited to Sananda Maitreya.
Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal. Absolute LEGENDS! Seen them live twice now and they have the most amazing sound that transcends time. Everybody Wants to Rule The World always gives me goosebumps. If anyone has the chance to see them live, DO IT!!
I am a Boomer, but I think that the 80's were the best time for pop music. Lyrics that meant something (in a positive way), great orchestration and they have a hook that once it's in your head, is there to stay. I think the video has guys and gals doing just what they love in their small way. The ARE ruling the world. Stay safe.
This is my favorite from this amazing group, my wife's is "head over heels", and my son's is "shout". They are all great songs along with many others. This song came on the radio when I left the hospital from a stroke a couple years ago and I remembered all the lyrics. Now I am back at 100 percent.
Back when even pop songs had amazing guitar solos. This song, Michael Jackson's "Beat It" featuring Eddie Van Halen, Starship's "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now", Lionel Richie's "Dancing on the Ceiling", and never forget Kenny Loggins' "Highway to the Danger Zone."
Another marker for the time it was produced in are the 3 wheelers in the background. They were banned back in that era after a lot of injuries and even deaths were attributed to their design.
Funny thing is, during the filming for this music video, one of the riders was thrown off and knocked unconscious. "[Curt] Smith also mentioned that there was an accident while filming the "dirt bikes and four-wheel off-road vehicles" scene, with one children flying out of a vehicle and smashing his head, leaving him unconscious."
Everybody Wants to Rule the World has always been one of my favorite songs. I was stationed in South Korea in 1986 at Osan AB and I remember going to the clubs and that song was playing. So many great memories.
Seeing that you seem to be a big fan of the 80’s how about some Duran Duran - Rio, Hungry like the wolf, Ordinary World is a good start. Love your energy!!
I was just visiting my closest friends over the weekend and was thrilled to see that they were also subscribed to my favorite reaction channel! Their judgment in Jamel's character confirmed to me why we have been such great friends for so many years.
'Ghostdancing' from Live Aid '85, 'Sanctify Yourself' (official video), 'Waterfront' (official video), 'Speed Your Love To Me' (official video), and 'Up On The Catwalk' (official video) would be my choices. Give you a very good indication on why Simple Minds were a huge influence on U2.
Remember 1st time hearing/seeing this video. I was in the 1st grade in my kitchen doing homework learning how to read and this song came on MTV. Such an amazing sound. Fell instantly in love with the vibe. Pure optimism for the present and future. Man, I miss the 80's.
There's a reason why I follow your channel...I could see myself sitt'n down with you...chilling to so great tunes and having a select beveragel. Cheers Jamal...Happy Holidays!!!
Fun fact: the chorus lyrics everybody wants to rule the world was inspired by The Clash song Charlie don't surf. Joe Strummer saw the one of the band members (I believe Roland) in a restaurant and told them Your welcome and you owe me a "Fiver".
@@LiveNinetyNine yeah, that sounds very familiar. I remember hearing the story a couple different times on interviews. Just couldn't remember exactly how it played out.
I don't want 2 Rule the world but only seize the day and be grateful in it.. This is the day which the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Great 80s song brings me back for a moment..
@@frankpentangeli8104 If being grateful for every precious moment and with faith believing in life giving eternal God (temp flesh & our everlasting spirit) is a bad thing we can pray your negative attitude does not bring you down 2 much and you choose change ur outlook positive for the better.. God bless Frank, this is the day..
@UCLfKcaY0Y5Xl55u7eI9e-0w I don't have a negative attitude ... I'm a happy, positive guy. I just don't have time for bullshit and medieval superstitions. But you go ahead and waste your life praying to a fictional character all you want and worship to your heart's content. It's infantile to need that crutch, but whatever turns your crank, dude.
Thanks for finally posting this video. I'm almost 50 years old, and this was this song was a huge hit during my middle school era when we relocated from CA to WA. It was the first "Pop" video I liked.
That song always makes me feel good. I listened to "Songs from the Big Chair" a ton in college and saw them when they opened their Sowing the Seeds of Love tour.
Check out Roland & Curt, from Tears for Fears, when they were in their first band, Graduate!! They had a pretty good debut album called 'Acting my age'!
Please react to these Tears For Fears songs: Sowing The Seeds of Love, Woman In Chains, Mad World, Badman's Song, Pale Shelter, Change, Advice For The Young At Heart, Mother's Talk, The Working Hour, Break It Down Again, and Raoul and the Kings of Spain.
New to the Channel, a week past and must say that it kicks high and low in a good sense of the term. I graduated junior high in 76 during the height of the 70's counter culture, which led into to the 80's. Checked out the merchandise link and say...way-to-cool...! Rock on brother!
Saw them live back in '88 they were excellent. Saw a recent concert on YT still excellent. Their new album The Tipping Point is great. It deals with the loss of a spouse and issues involving dealing with ones past as we mature. This band deserves a lot more recognition. They wrote pop songs for the thinking person.

"Head Over Heels" is another great song by them.
@@elysehfm8797 Thanks!
It’s my favorite song by TFF!
Yeees great song
Anything from Songs from the big chair
Mad World, Change, Pale Shelter and so many others.
Sowing the Seeds of Love is a brilliant Tears for Fears song!
That’s a great song!
Please do that one!
Absolutely
Great song 👍🏻
This song has a Beetles feel to it
I was a young G.I. in 1985 and went overseas for my first time that summer. This song is the defining song of the mid ‘80s for me.
I was in the military at the same time...I agree with ya, brother.
Yes I remember I heard this in 1985 and I was like holy shit.
Thank you for your service, brother
It is the definitive 80s songfor me too.

What guitar did he play on that solo? And what guitar did you sell him?
Neat story! ❤️💜💚
All those double stops on the first solo. The outro solo is an under appreciated gem.

"Welcome to your life...there's no turning back"...one of the great opening lines to a song ever
I grew up with this song and band and never tired of this particular song.
Oh man, this brings me back to my childhood. I can remember the day I bought this cassette and two others (Madonna and Motley Crue). My Mum's old Chevy Blazer only had an 8-track player so I brought my boom box...and drove her nuts playing these songs over and over during our day of running errands. By the end of the day Ma was singing along with the volume cranked and the windows down. Damn...I miss her and all the great memories. Music always brings you back.
Cool! Your Madonna and Motley Crue is to my Carpenters and Led Zeppelin.
We must be around the same age 😁
OMG RIGHT!! Even just you saying cassette made me laugh I still have so many of me MIX TAPEs 83 ect.!! LOL man the 80's miss them!!💯🤘🏻😊.
always felt like this was a VASTLY underrated band. Hits galore, man, and very solid musically across their catalog.
Don't forget unique Roland's voice
One of my very favorite bands.
And people will still be enjoying this in another 40 years. Timeless!
This song was in the ending of the movie "Real Genius". One of Val Kilmer's early roles.
My favorite line from the song: "I can't stand this indecision, married with a lack of vision."
Such a great movie.
I loved that movie and was just about to post a "name that movie" response.😊
Great line.
All I can think of is the popcorn destroying the house from Real Genius.
You think it ties into make the most of freedom and our pleasures nothing ever last forever? Does that mean squandered decadence ? Heavy song
This is my “summer song” and probably my most favorite song. The minute I hear it I am instantly back in 1985.Such a different world then. So much more fun.
OMG Yes Laura...something about the guitar rift, synths and the bassline
yes! I loved cruising around town to this song back then
Woman in Chains by Tears for Fears is a masterpiece.
Yes indeed, the song is a masterpiece. A song with a strong message, which is still current, and unfortunately it will be like that forever. In live performances, during intro, Orzabal is always emotional, as if gathering the strength to sing it. In later interviews, he explained that the song describes his parents' bad and difficult relationship. There are so many such female stories. it is interesting that there are almost no reactions to this song. I wonder why. The song is a diamond that shines with emotion and message.
I give my vote as well.
advice for the young at heart, from that same album. Just genius.
Love this song
true, masterpiece
Iconic. It brings me right back to my teenage years.
Here we are ! All us Tears for Fears Fans 😊 🙌 80,s Nostalgia ♥
Mad World and Head Over Heels are a couple of other great Tears for Fears songs.
Talk about the quintessential 80s song. Love the lava lamp!!
This song defined the ‘80’s......Oppulence, confidence, extravagance, decadence....etc...
My favorite song of all time. The lyric: "I can't stand this indecision married with a lack of vision" always gets me. It exemplifies too much of our society, not being able to make decisions because we don't have enough vision (knowledge/wisdom basically). Tears for Fears was essentially telling us IN THE 80'S to go educate ourselves. Great reaction Jamel! Keep up the great work :)
This is still one of my favorite songs.
ONE OF MY FAVORITES IN THE WHOLE WORLD!! I JUST LOVE THEIR TIMELESS MUSIC!
This song came on the radio of the bus that was taking me to the airport when I joined the Army. The lyrics “welcome to your life. There’s no turning back” have stuck with me ever since. Wonderful song!

“Songs from the big chair” is a brilliant album. You should do more songs from this band for sure
In 1984-ish this album came out. I was a freshman or maybe a sophomore in high school. Everyone raced home after school and huddled around MTV to see the premiere of this and Shout videos
The sound of this song is classic
Takes you back
I was a US Marine,stationed at Subic Bay Philippines 1985 when this song came out, every bar there was playing this song.
The 70's and 80's both were great times for music.
Next... Terrance Trent D'Arby's
"Wishing Well"....Please?
Another funky underrated brother.
YES! I’ve requested this before. Great suggestion
TTD...Sign Your Name as well. Cool af dude. Whatever happened to him?
Great suggestion. Deborah, other than Terrance I only have seen one other person do it well - this young guy from England named Jolan. Yes, it is his real voice - ruclips.net/video/42ASC5kMoYY/видео.html

@@diannegrach6376 yep, I love this song!
Tears for Fears, “Everybody wants to rule the World”- brings me right back to the 80’s!
👍❤️
The video makes me want to ride a three-wheeler.
If you grew up in the 80s then you know this was the jam
Tears For Fears are great! You should check out “Mad World”, “Pale Shelter”, or “Change” next.
I would like to literally echo robodez. ‘Mad world’, ‘Pale shelter’ or ‘change’. (Particularly ‘Mad World’.)
I'll 3rd that! Can't leave out Shout though
Fantastic songs from a far superior album.
Pale Shelter classic
D - All of the Above!
As long as you're getting acquainted with Tears for Fears, you MUST do Sowing the Seeds of Love.
Im whistling the horns solo as we speak
“Welcome to your life, there’s no turning back…“
Imagine that...here we are..no turning back.
Will Smith and Carlton....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. You are hysterical Jamal. Love you.
Head over Heels by them is a great song and video.
They have such a great catalogue of songs...Shout, Head Over Heels, Mad World, Sowing the Seeds of Love, Woman in Chains, Break it Down Again...
Got to see them in concert. Late 80's NJ
"HEAD OVER HEELS"- Official video please.
"SHOUT"
"CHANGE"
"MAD WORLD"
Perfect list !
@@paulwalsh2344
Thanks 😊 forgot "MAD WORLD".
Change... one of my favorites!
Honorable mention for suggesting two tracks from The Hurting. But no "Pale Shelter", or the fantastic closing track to the LP?
Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal. Absolute LEGENDS! Seen them live twice now and they have the most amazing sound that transcends time. Everybody Wants to Rule The World always gives me goosebumps. If anyone has the chance to see them live, DO IT!!
This is music from a different era. When songs, lyrics, and music actually mattered.
Agreed!
The music that stands the test of time too.
It still matters, stop lying.
Couldnt have said it better music like this no longer exists, when music took you to another time and space.
Joe musicians back then were actual artists the sounds and lyrics haunt us to this day and will always intrigue.
My all time favorite song followed by a bunch 90s hip hop
I am a Boomer, but I think that the 80's were the best time for pop music. Lyrics that meant something (in a positive way), great orchestration and they have a hook that once it's in your head, is there to stay.

Long time metal head here but these guys are certainly one of my guilty pleasures!! Great love too!
Jamel, if you want a feast for your ears you must hear Tears for Fears " Woman in Chains" ... you'll lose your mind.
This is my favorite from this amazing group, my wife's is "head over heels", and my son's is "shout". They are all great songs along with many others. This song came on the radio when I left the hospital from a stroke a couple years ago and I remembered all the lyrics. Now I am back at 100 percent.
Sowing the Seeds of Love is really good.
one of the best popular songs from the 80s. Makes ya feel good every time ya hear it. Thanks for featuring.
I really like the lyric: "I can stand this indecision, married with a lack of vision" chills...
I have such wonderful memories seeing them play in Miami in the 80s...fantastic concert!!
This song makes me happy all the damn time.
One of the best band out if the 80s. All their music as awesome! Thanks for appreciating this💖
Back when even pop songs had amazing guitar solos. This song, Michael Jackson's "Beat It" featuring Eddie Van Halen, Starship's "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now", Lionel Richie's "Dancing on the Ceiling", and never forget Kenny Loggins' "Highway to the Danger Zone."
A stupendous drum track on this song. Along with the rhythm guitar, it just pulls you through the song...
The 80's had a lot of good music.
Yeah, what a great decade to grow up in!
Your happiness and positivity are infectious, thank you for the good vibes.
Another marker for the time it was produced in are the 3 wheelers in the background. They were banned back in that era after a lot of injuries and even deaths were attributed to their design.
Seen a cpl of those 3 wheelers while i was washing my truck. A dad and his daughter washing them down.
Funny thing is, during the filming for this music video, one of the riders was thrown off and knocked unconscious.

This is one of my favorite songs from the 80's....great video as well. Thanks Jamel for everything that you do for all of us....😎☘
"Sowing the Seeds of Love" is one of their later hits that you might not know. Great song, very similar to this one in my opinion.
I've heard this song hundreds of times-never gets old! An '80's classic!
The 80's were a simpler time. Makes me wish I was a kid again back in that time. Makes me feel old too. 😆
me too. simpler times, but better.
Simpler times in all you had to worry about was being nuked hehe
But it also makes me appreciate growing up in and bring lucky enough to have lived through and have experienced all of those

YES!!!!
That's a great suggestion!
Come on Jamal, do both of them!
Actually he has already done that Simple Minds song.
@@anexceleratedlife thank you, somehow I missed that one!

Another by Tears for Fears: Pale Shelter. For something completely different: Laying Pipe by David Wilcox.
"Break It Down Again" is a great song by Tears For Fears.
One of my favorite songs from that period. Back when songs had meaning.
Yes very true!
From one of my all-time favorite movies...
REAL GENIUS!!!

The world could use something like Tears for Fears, today.

Filmed along I-10 way east of Los Angeles as you come upon Palm Springs, and I think east of Chiriaco Summit. Always loved this song.

Women in Chains is a great song from them!

90s were pretty awesome too. I feel lucky I got the 80s and 90s for my childhood.
All this great music came out while I was in college. my feet were glued to the dance floor.
