This was the 1980’s anthem from my generation. Played on FM radio in heavy rotation. Aired on MTV in heavy rotation. Featured at the ending of the Gen-X teen flick “Real Genius”
I’m shocked and pleasantly surprised that you young guys like this. I’m 57 and always liked this genre of music. I think I was in the Navy around the time of this release.
Totally agree and Head over Heels too.... wonderful songs too.... Guys you need to make a video reactions to these ones.... brilliant pop songs from 80's ruclips.net/video/CsHiG-43Fzg/видео.html ruclips.net/video/VAtGOESO7W8/видео.html
A quality song from back in the day which should be an anthem for all songs from the 1980’s the absolutely superbly talented “Tears for Fears” and it’s the first few bars of the intro that gets you hooked. But we’ll done to you guys for appreciating the kind of music us 60 somethings enjoyed as teenagers back in the day.
@@_MjG_I’m 58 and I got to enjoy it all thru high school and college. And got into 90s music as a young adult. I also love 70s music. I was younger then but did enjoy the music I heard.
This was played everywhere when I was working in bars and restaurants. Such a feelgood way to start your day😇 we'd all be dancing and singing to it setting tables up 💙💙💙🎶✊
Classic track from the early 80s... beautiful song with beautiful synth lines. This is how it was done folks. Great, talented band. Glad you guys appreciate awesome music!
The line in this song 'So Sad They Had To Fade It' is in reference to the song Shout, the record company cut it down to release it as a sing, 'Walls Come Tumbling Down' is in reference to the Berlin wall.
This song always puts a smile on ya face :) But it has a serious message about the consequences of a lust for power. "Sowing the seeds of love" is another incredible track and album.
Great review! I love this song. There is a great 80s wormhole to travel! This is a great song to kick it off. Shout and Head Over Heels are great songs by Tears for Fears too.
Ha! ‘If you don’t like this song we can’t be friends’ 😂😂 So true! The size & detail…those guitar solo’s!! 🥳🎸🚀 can’t get enough of it and I was there when it was first released
I agree with you guys 100%. One of the great things for me, is kind of being "immersed" in a certain chord for quite a long time. Then when the song changes chords, it's a really cool acoustic sensation! You described it better than me though. I really like this video. I'm going to watch it a lot.
I love this reaction! You guys really get that this song is a whole vibe. It's meant to take you somewhere else, but yet soak in the moment at the same time. Love your reactions... this song reminds me of my childhood carefree days everytime i hear it. ❤
When somebody asks you how the 80s did sound like, play'em that song. Similiar built up and sound you'll find in "Alive and Kicking" by Simple Minds. BTW Great reaction . Sometimes I miss that hunting synth sound.
When the music starts I think about walking into the world with a whole bunch of other people and other opinions. That we are moving in the same direction.. that's the imagery I get when I close my eyes and listen to this song. The '80s was a great time to live through
I can be listening to most anything on the radio in the car and it's fine. Bits of songs grab me, not too much change on me. This comes on though, i hear the intro, volume up, beginning to end its just me and the song. And always feel lighter, life-affirmed after.
Oh my goodness I love you guys! Tears for fears … such a great English band … so proud of the music of my country … please listen to Feeling The Moment by Feeder and btw … you in the middle! You are spot on every time! 🇬🇧
A complex song, you get it if you learn to play it on a guitar. Roland truly shows off his skills on this tune. A truly hypnotic melody and beat. Killer classic, thank God I grew up hearing these amazing songs on the rock and roll radio. Generations now, you analyze our music, but you'll never truly understand what all this music meant to us when we were young. Eat your heart out listening to it, you certainly don't know what it was like when it was new, and the music was e v e r y w h e r e. Remember, we bought records, lol. You guys now, lol, you'll never, ever enjoy the same experience, this video reaction stuff is as close as you all get.
My favorite song by TFF! Sowing the seeds of love is a great song by them too.. probably my second favorite! I was 12 when they hit it big in the US… what a great decade to live in!
There have been many duo bands. Pet Shop Boys, Simon & Garfunkel, The Black Keys, Steely Dan, Daft Punk, The Communards, Everything But The Girl, The Carpenters, The White Stripes...
Curt sings lead here. Roland songs lead in most of the other songs. Written by Chris Hughes, Ian Stanley + Roland Orzabal. The record company demanded 1 more song, a hit. This was the last song recorded for the 1985 album. Chris had a drum shuffle. Ian Stanley had a keyboard riff. Roland wrote the lyrics and the guitar attack, which bored him! L🤣L Better version than the one sung by Lourde. This song inspired members of Glass Tiger to write the song Don't Forget Me when I'm Gone with Jim Vallance. 🇨🇦. The bassline of Everybody... is also similar to Can't Stop This Thing We Started, written by Bryan Adams and Mutt Lange. Suggested next video: Glass Tiger and Bryan Adams perform. Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone. Suggested next Tears for Fears video: Break It Down Again. 🇬🇧
What a great and honest reaction :) i am 50, and i remember this coming out as a single, in 1985 in the UK, where i grew up. The bass part on this tune, was copied from "Waterfront" by Simple Minds, and it's one of those killer 80's tracks. If you liked this, check out "Shout", and "Head over heels", both from TFF. Lookin' forward to more.
TFF are a duo comprising of Roland and Curt. Ian and Mani played on their second album Songs From The Big Chair but they never officially joined the band. Roland and Curt spilt after their third album Sowing The Seeds Of Love. Roland continued the TFF name releasing two further albums, Elemental and Raoul And The Kings Of Spain. The duo got back together in 2014 and released the vastly underrated album Everybody Loves A Happy Ending. They have toured most years since then. In 2022 the duo released a new album called The Tipping Point.
Originally it was supposed to be called 🎵Everybody wants to go to war🎵. I thought that was interesting … they talked about it when they recorded for Spotify
This might be my favorite song. It hits me in the chest and puts me in a good mood. I listen to it on the way to work. I just love it. Thanks for doing a review on it.
Coming off the 60,s 70’s classic rock era the 80’s took a minute to get used to sound wise … but this band was one of my favorite! Great music & lyric .
ruclips.net/video/0ZII3Cu_Uo4/видео.htmlsi=w89Hd_sUwGunGMgt The above link is to a cover version of this song by a 20 year old acoustic fingerstyle guitar prodigy named Kent Nishimura. Typically, Kent will play the entire song, not just the guitar solos, with a guitar arrangement and no other instruments. A very talented musician!
I used to be a DJ in the late 70s and early 80s and this was always a good dancefloor filler. It went well with Living on the ceiling from Blancmange, Messages from OMD, Just can't get enough from Depeche Mode, Fade to Grey from Visage and We are Glass from Gary Numan.
"Pop Royalty" is 'Spot On'! But then again, Pop Royalty was almost all there was in the 'Late 20th Century'! I just turned 75 and I'm So Glad I Got Too Experience The 50's Through The 90's Everything!!! Especially The Best Of The Best MUSIC... Perhaps, As It May Turn Out To Be, The 'Pinnacle' Of Creativity, A Short Space, In The Course Of Human History (Western Civilization), Which May Never Be Attained Again???!!! Especially, as we increasingly 'Descend' into the 'Pit' of 'AI' and 'Life In The Holodeck'!!!
Surprised yall like this. So in high school it was not "cool" to like this group/song in my circle of friends as we were headbangers and stoners but I secretly loved it and still do to this day. Nice pick
Guys in case you don’t know it this Tears For Fears song “Everybody Wants To Rule The World” for me personally is possibly thee best pop song ever recorded . . . Period. So hello from us all here in Scotland.
that 'echoing' is called REVERB. Turn your Bass up a little. Emotional response IS the intent of Music! Just recently found your channel, so try their HEAD OVER HEELS official music video, if you haven't already. Loved me lots of '80s music - it was a MULTIMEDIA RENAISSANCE, for sure.
This was a genre known as synth-pop. Best ever representation of it imo. They still perform, and vocally still sound the same. Teeny bit shame you didn't watch the promo video too. I read that Michael Jackson asked their permission to use part of that intro, not 100% but think it was for 'The Way You Make Me Feel'. Of course they said yes (and got paid for it)
Loved your video guys. And if you love songs that maybe repetitive but you just can't help Loving it and the mood it puts you in check out, "rain in the summer time" by the alarm amd try not loving it.
Para mi esta y muchas más no pasarán de moda, porque para mi no hay no existe música que la de la época de los años 70,80,90. La musica de ahora es para mi una música sin instrumento.
Thanks love this song and your reaction but it's not even the best one on the album, just the most famous. You all liked this listen to the full album in order front to back. It's really something. One of my favorates ever. Keep at it guys!
“How can you not like that song??” Well said.
This songs the best
In rule army
"Welcome to your life, there's no turning back" That's some pretty heavy shit. Hit me back then. Still hits me now.
Haunting, isn't it? Think of all those who have had shitty lives.
Same here. I graduated from college the year this came out. I played this over and over driving back home.
The sound of the 80's. Unmistakable.
The 80's had a style and sound of it's own.
This song always puts me in a better mood. It's that 80s magic
"I can't stand this indecision married with a lack of vision"
Wow. Just wow
We were so lucky growing up in the 80's. I lay this track quite often as it always takes me back to a happier time.
Been listening to this song for 38 years and I swear every time I hear it it's like the first time!
You’ve been listening for as long as I have !
@@zimbalistdavis923 Good times!
This was the 1980’s anthem from my generation. Played on FM radio in heavy rotation. Aired on MTV in heavy rotation. Featured at the ending of the Gen-X teen flick “Real Genius”
80* s anthem is right👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
I’m shocked and pleasantly surprised that you young guys like this. I’m 57 and always liked this genre of music. I think I was in the Navy around the time of this release.
Im 66 and it's on my favourite 80's list Boy did I party 😊
@@bladeschick1 I’m 25 and I’m jealous that you both got to live your peak years during the 80s
This song is so intertwined with my memories of my dad as a kid in the 80s, it's almost spiritual go me. It's like a prayer.
If you wanna do more Tears for Fears, PLEASE do 'Sowing the seeds of love". Hard to find another song, that changes throughout, and still keeps you in
Totally agree and Head over Heels too.... wonderful songs too.... Guys you need to make a video reactions to these ones.... brilliant pop songs from 80's

Always great to see other youngsters enjoying older music
🦋This is Nostalgic 80's Music. Brings me back to the Beach Summer of 85' I was 8yrs old. I was Blessed to have grown up with such great music.

When you said you could listen to it again and again and again... that's exactly how it was in the summer of 85. This song IS the 80s.
One of the greatest songs of the 80's a good driving song on a summer day. Did well also on the charts a winner.
It was a Number one in The U.K. And U.S.
Yes 👏👏
Agreed!
Woman in Chains is another great track from this band
Awesome track
Classic track from the early 80s... beautiful song with beautiful synth lines. This is how it was done folks. Great, talented band. Glad you guys appreciate awesome music!
The line in this song 'So Sad They Had To Fade It' is in reference to the song Shout, the record company cut it down to release it as a sing, 'Walls Come Tumbling Down' is in reference to the Berlin wall.

Great review! I love this song. There is a great 80s wormhole to travel! This is a great song to kick it off.
Shout and Head Over Heels are great songs by Tears for Fears too.
This is the best song of the 80's.
I love you guys for loving this 💛 Pure happy music. More TFF please - you can't miss.
Somehow that piano riff makes me think of "Life in a Northern Town" by Dream Academy.
One of my very favorite bands. Woman in Chains is a must hear, it's phenomenal. So many great songs, so little time.
I was 19 in 1985 when this came out. It was a great summer...
Ha! ‘If you don’t like this song we can’t be friends’ 😂😂 So true! The size & detail…those guitar solo’s!! 🥳🎸🚀 can’t get enough of it and I was there when it was first released
Beautifully played and sung with great words to live by.....pop royalty...."Sowing the seeds of love"... is fire too.....
The guitar riffs are fire-especially near the fade out. It's in my top 5 driving songs. Just pure genius song.
I agree with you guys 100%. One of the great things for me, is kind of being "immersed" in a certain chord for quite a long time. Then when the song changes chords, it's a really cool acoustic sensation! You described it better than me though. I really like this video. I'm going to watch it a lot.

Genius Production.
When somebody asks you how the 80s did sound like, play'em that song. Similiar built up and sound you'll find in "Alive and Kicking" by Simple Minds. BTW Great reaction . Sometimes I miss that hunting synth sound.
Also - New Gold Dream from Simple Minds - their magnum opus long-play song.
When the music starts I think about walking into the world with a whole bunch of other people and other opinions. That we are moving in the same direction.. that's the imagery I get when I close my eyes and listen to this song. The '80s was a great time to live through
This Song IS the eighties
An absolute classic. A song that never loses its magic! "How can you not like that song". Well said!
This songs on the playlist in my local supermarket.....shoppers kareoke is a sight to behold!
😂😂😂 awesome!!!
I believe Michael Jackson loved this so much that he asked Tears For Fears permission to use it on The Way You Make Me Feel (im sure he paid them lol)
I can be listening to most anything on the radio in the car and it's fine. Bits of songs grab me, not too much change on me. This comes on though, i hear the intro, volume up, beginning to end its just me and the song. And always feel lighter, life-affirmed after.
This song brings back many great road trips along the Central West Coast.
So many other great songs. Shout or Mad World or Head Over Heels next
Oh my goodness I love you guys! Tears for fears … such a great English band … so proud of the music of my country … please listen to Feeling The Moment by Feeder and btw … you in the middle! You are spot on every time! 🇬🇧
So relevant to what's happening in 2022 guys. A bangin song! Loved it the first time, even more now. We are friends for life, from Scotland! :D
Great song choices on this channel be it any genre respect 👍🏻
Man that really feel like a MJ song. "The Way You Make Me Feel" has like the exact beat!
That’s where it came from
@@jermaine9411 No, Jackson’s song came after.
@@blake7871 That’s what I meant MJ’s version is sampled from TFF
@@jermaine9411 Oh ok my bad.
@@blake7871 all good
Songs From The Big Chair is one of the best albums of all time! Masterpiece!
I love this reminds me of my life in the 80s, TEXAS HERE great Reaction y’all !!!🇺🇸💪🎸😎

All there songs just make me feel good.
Right!!! How can a group make so many great songs it ridiculous and also there music videos are so good!
Bath is so named because it had a pretty substantial Roman bath.
This song is the end credits piece for Real Genius, which is a fantastic movie.
Interesting. Learn something new everyday.
They also sing head over heals. My fave
My favorite song by TFF! Sowing the seeds of love is a great song by them too.. probably my second favorite! I was 12 when they hit it big in the US… what a great decade to live in!

They invoke nostalgia what ever age you are taking you back to sunshine and relaxation tears for fears are timeless
"The Roland guy and Curt." LOL. Your three synchronized bobbing heads says it all. And yes, The Hurting, hands down.
Pop royalty! Yes… best driving song of all time… the best
Well, I wouldn't call it definitely THE best as there are many. But it's up there among the best.
This might be my favorite song. It hits me in the chest and puts me in a good mood. I listen to it on the way to work. I just love it. Thanks for doing a review on it.
Well Michael Jacksons thriller was basically Toto as most of Toto played on and wrote songs for that album, so theres that.
I just want to lay out in a field at night, looking at the stars with this on repeat in the headphones
Coming off the 60,s 70’s classic rock era the 80’s took a minute to get used to sound wise … but this band was one of my favorite! Great music & lyric .
"Nothing ever lasts forever"!.....isn't that the truth!
Fantastic, left field, angular guitar playing on this. Never get tired of it.

Every song on this album was epic in my opinion. Great stuff.
The Cats get a win and you guys react to one of my favorite songs from the 80s. Awesome day! Thanks, gentlemen.
Higher level of sophistication and a song you can listen to over and over to gain more - 'SOWING THE SEEDS of LOVE' the next one guys..great channel!
Roland Orzabal is an AMAZING talent! Please react to some of their more unknown songs, like Elemental and Sketches of Pain.
I agree!
You must've to listen this song when you go on your motorcycle or automobile for the road! It's an unbelievable experience I guarantee you.
Surprised yall like this. So in high school it was not "cool" to like this group/song in my circle of friends as we were headbangers and stoners but I secretly loved it and still do to this day. Nice pick
Always be yourself. 👍
"Woman in Chains" from the album "Seeds of Love" is a song for the ages.
Break It Down Again is a great one by them too!
This song is one of my favs

Old school vinyl LP records played at 33rpm the max length was about 20 minutes per side
Great to see a younger generation appreciating 80's music, I recon you'd like Spandau Ballet - Through the Barricades
Tear for Fears and Adam Ant were signed with Motown and performed on the 25th Anniv. Special that Michael first did his famous moonwalk.
another english band worth a listen is Roxy Music - Jealous Guy or Avalon
Great commentary
Geniously written. So good.
They had some great music. Glad u young guys like it.
ANYTHING FROM SONGS FROM THE BIG CHAIR CONCERT (Documentary) EXCELLENT MUSICAL AND VOCAL TALENT
Loved your video guys. And if you love songs that maybe repetitive but you just can't help Loving it and the mood it puts you in check out, "rain in the summer time" by the alarm amd try not loving it.
Para mi esta y muchas más no pasarán de moda, porque para mi no hay no existe música que la de la época de los años 70,80,90. La musica de ahora es para mi una música sin instrumento.
Eva, hablemos de música.
Nada como la música de aquellas décadas.
I can't wait till you get to "Broken/Head Over Heels." It's the "chef's kiss" of that album.
Shout. Shout. Let it all out. That's their first hit. Classic
Mad World was Tears For Fears first hit
Every generation would definitely love ths song tff❤️
The lines on the highway go by in tune with this song. Great song to drive by. Windows down of course.
Went to a concert for Tears for Fears in Columbus, OH with a mosh pit at the venue......people were moshing to this song! 😂
I love your appreciation of good music. Try Fanfare for the Common Man, Emerson ake, and Palmer It's EPIC. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
Thanks love this song and your reaction but it's not even the best one on the album, just the most famous. You all liked this listen to the full album in order front to back. It's really something. One of my favorates ever. Keep at it guys!
