head over heels = being in love. he's reflecting on that love - how time flies. I think its about the one that got away.
Not so funny how time flies….I was a young man when this came out and now I’m an old man….😭
"Funny How Time Flies" is also a lyric from the song "Broken" which is the track before "Head Over Heels" (which transitions back into "Broken" at the end of the long version).
I know what you mean Big Jake.. I recently celebrated birthday number 72 😎 I may have also had this record on 45 🎶
Happy birthday buddy
@@SirManfly yea im 41 now. I was 16 yesterday!!!
The vocal is actually so good on this, the falsetto at the end of each line in the verses…
LOVE that falsetto
I love all the falsetto as well it's fun song to sing along with it's a challenge! What's amazing is Roland is in his 60s and he can still hit those falsetto notes !!
This song was used in the movie Donny Darko which is definitely one of the more trippy movies from the 90's and early 2000's. Tears For Fears "Songs From The Big Chair" is just one of those albums that is so good that you can listen to it from beginning to end. Plus the album version of "Head Over Heels" is extended right into a live performance of "Broken." It's just so good.
Wasn’t it Mad World that was used in Donny Darko?
It was the theme song from Ghostbuster 2 also.
@@robinakym2356 both, although Mad World was a cover by Gary Jules.
Donnie Darko is a great movie and was just on TV last week. Crazy movie. Poor Frank. 🐰
@@robinakym2356 They play it near the beginning for the first school scene starts when they jump out the back door of the school bus.
Not just my favorite song from the 80's, but my favorite song, period. Everything about it is perfect and Curt Smith's bass is just...
Hard to argue with that.
Curt is a monster bassist. Love this song, the bass is what moves it along...
Ditto.
The bass is really nice.
Curt is a great bass player and the bass line in this song is SICK!!! Curt is a great singer too and so is Roland .
“Head over Heals” by Tears for Fears is an 80s classic about a man who has fallen in love with a woman. We get the sense that she holds all the cards, and is either not reciprocating or not giving him any indication one way or another whether she is interested in him. Perhaps she is hung up on the past. She seems to parry his advances.
The intro and bridge of this song are in C Lydian. That's a modal scale you almost never hear in pop music because it has a raised 4th scale degree which gives it a really out there (but bright) spacey sound. I mean Frank Zappa used to use it a lot but that just goes to show how very out there that modal scale is for a pop song lol. This is the single version of the song btw. But its really the middle section of two tracks on the album. Broken and then Head Over Heels/Broken. (This is the Head Over Heels part). You guys should listen to the whole thing when you get a chance, its pretty cool. Tears For Fears was not your typical pop new wave band.
Vai and Satriani also love their lydian.
Did you see the Rick Beato's video about this song ? It seems so.
@@Kaddywompous True. And I'm pretty sure Vai's love for it comes from his time with Zappa. Although not as weird hearing it come from guys like them. You expect them to play around with cool modes. But not so much from a pop band like Tears for Fears.
@@guyelmouchnino6531 I might have. I watch his videos from time to time. And I actually just linked one of his videos in their Kid Charlemagne video. But I can also just hear the lydian sound.
4th is also a cliff hanger note so you are always waiting for that conclusion something pop music isn't about musically.
My interpretation of this song is that he’s expressing the feeling of infatuation for someone he probably has no chance with, so it alternates between insecurity (verses) to elation (choruses) to false hope (bridge “this is my four leaf clover la la la”). A brilliantly structured song overall, with great chord changes that lead you around by the nose through shifts of mood appropriate to the lyrics.
I always kinda concluded the same thing. Such a great song
Brilliant analysis
@@chrisa4695 Thanks! But I wouldn’t say brilliant, because I’ve seen the video, which fills in the story.
This was always my assumption as well. And I feel like the "Funny how time flies" line at the end is him realizing he spent too long dreaming instead of busting a move and then she's gone.
@@squirrelorama funny though at the end at the of the video, he ends up with her but I wonder how long it took
This is one of those songs that sounds infinitely better with headphones on. 🎧
I didn’t grow up in the 80s but Tears for Fears has such a nostalgic sound. Such a great band
@Lauren Lewis Ha, now we found out that those were the days that were beautiful.
@Lauren Lewis Yes I totally agree with you it was such a fun time to be a kid. I truly believe that we were blessed to have experienced those days 🤔
TFF just released a new album *last month* and it's really good! So nice to see them come back. Absolutely one of the best bands of the 1980s.
It is just so 80s. Maybe that's just me since this was part of my intro to MTV and music videos. This was from the era when I was introduced to music. So much nostalgia!
I love having gen x parents who gave me their love of the 80s and 90s
The production of this song is stunning. That was the order of the day. Tears for Fears, Talk Talk, Scritti Politti, Trevor Horn. Big, lush, over-produced heaven. Perfection.
Whoa Scritti Politti.. I haven’t listened to them in at least 20 years, maybe more. You know who else no one has reacted to is Fine Young Cannibals…
@@vrvaughn Oh yeah, good shout!!
It's basically about a guy falling head over heels in love with a woman but there's something not "right" about either his love for her, hers for him or their relationship as a whole not being healthy for either of them but he doesn't see that's there's something off until he's already in the relationship which is why he says don't take my heart/don't break my heart/don't throw it away. I think the "gun in your hand" lyric could be interpreted as the literal "if I can't have you, nobody can" or the "damned if you do/damned if you don't" because you want to be happy but nothing the guy and/or woman does is making it what it needs to be for them to be happy long term. One little boy could reference the immaturity/insecurity the guy felt going into it and the one little man could be that he's grown up but not enough to realize he should let it go and move on. "Funny how...time flies" could reference the time wasted on trying to make the relationship into something it never was or could be and he's finally had that "a-ha" moment of clarity
You must mean a relationship like Will and Jada Smith have. 😁 He should have left that relationship long ago. 😄😅😂🤣
Have you seen the Official Music Video for this - it's really quite good, and the old couple are together at 'funny how time flies'.
serious musicians, these guys. brilliant.
This!
keetah 😍
Brad & Lex, their "Pale Shelter" and "Sowing The Seeds Of Love" are next for you!
also mad world and change
On the CD, following the outtro the song extends with a reprise called "Broken." It's a really cool instrumental piece, about a minute long.
Yeah, to me that's the real song. I've never liked this ending.
@@TheOriginalFILIBUSTA Amen its sad people don't realize they are missing out. also how amazing a one minute piece of music can be.
One of the gifts of listening to an album in it's entirety back in the day.
@@marshman96 yea there’s the “head over heels/broken” version and then there’s “broken” version on in its own a 2:30 ish minute song with words in it whereas the other version of broken has no words and it shorter
Feels very incomplete without
Yes it means falling in love ... “I’m head over heels for her “
Nice reaction, absolutely means head over heels in love. This song was a huge hit for them, the whole album Songs From The Big Chair is incredible.
For a moody, deeper themed song, you need to hear the song, "Woman In Chains", from the album Sowing The Seeds Of Love. You'll hear a female singer, Oleta Adams, who can easily keep up with the guys' vocal magic. It's an amazing song 🤯
Woman in Chains with Oleta Adams is really worth hearing.
Badman's song is even more of a showcase of both of their voices.
@@ROArecords2 oh yes, that’s a great song also 👍
This isnt about drugs. What? Head over heels means to fall in love. It's a love song. 😆 This is a new wave classic. Watch Donnie Darko. Crazy movie set in the '80s, made in the early '00s. Has this song and many other new wave and post punk songs from the '80s. Tears for Fears were huge back then. Tears had lots of good videos and songs. '80s and '90s
"Oh,... It sounds like it's gonna'be beautiful...!"
You were right.
Lots of soulful music from England around that time.

Tears for fears , sowing the seeds
Bro, you live in a better World because of her. You two personify Yin & Yang.
My absolute fav TFF song. Such a beautiful composition
It’s Not a trip song😀. I think by something happens, he means something happens between him and this woman and he gets giddy or gaga or something, since head over heels means ga ga in love.
Lex, true your head is always above your heels, but that's not what the saying means. It's like a rolling fall, a somersault, where there's an exchange of which is over the other. There's a point where your heels are over your head.
It is a guy that gets infatuated quick, gets hurt, etc, At the end he is showing his four leaf clover for good luck. Head over heels means love/infatuation
Oh man this song brings back memories. 1985 and I was in love with a girl out of my league, pretty much exactly what the song is talking about. Head over heals for her. In the end, she was just wasting my time. Don't take my heart, don't break my heart...and she did. Dang.
🤗
This song will always be Donny Darko to me. I was in 11th grade, unsure of myself and that movie helped share the way I view the world. As well as echo and the bunnymen. But that music video is purely whimsical. Ghostbusters meets Alice and Wonderland. The fact she got that from just the song is fucking me up. I always got that from the music video, but never out the song into a psychedelic context.
This is a classic even when I was a kid back in 1986 when this song first came out this was a hit and their other songs " Everybody Wants To Rule The World " and " Shout" the term head over heels is a old saying it means falling deeply in love.
Not a trip song, not even drugs involved. It's not Tear for Fears style. They tell stories with relationships, politics, friends, family etc, etc, It's pretty straight forward if you not only hear the words, but listen to the words.
Lex dont know what head over heels means....yet something tells me she has caused it to happen atleast 100 times by now lol
Tears for Fears was among the more serious New Wave bands with layered sounds and meaningful lyrics.
This is one of those songs that’s impossible to not be “IN” the song.
Lex you have the sweetest smile and super positive vibes. It seems like you really love music. Glad you reviewed Tears for Fears. They are one of my favorites!
The saying head over heels comes from an old torture technique where they would string people upside down. So the original term was heels over head, and somehow the reserve of it started being used to describe those in love, as it can sometimes be akin to torture.
Donnie Darko is one movie this song is in. It is featured at the start of the movie..
"The Working Hour", "Woman In Chains", "Goodnight Song" and "Famous Last Words" are good songs by Tears For Fears if you want to do more. I wanna see Lex fly off the sofa during "Famous Last Words" LOL.
Especially The Working Hour because she loves sax solos and it has the best sax ever.
Year of the Knife is one of my favourites, can't understand why it never seems to get a mention 😕
great suggies mate, exactly what I would suggest 😁
@@keithjones7390 Because average people don't really know the deep cuts like we do.
Was that even released as a single?
As far as deep cuts go from that album. I would love to see them react to "Badman's Song".
@@ROArecords2 I'm 70 years of age now, and have listened to many albums over the years. I have also found when listening to those albums that the deep cuts are very often the best cuts!
this song was featured on 'Rick Beato`s" what makes this song great. marvelous. "head over heels in love" it`s a popular saying..
Gen Xer music. New wave, synth punk, pop music. There are various forms under new wave. That was a popular from the late '70s, 80s, a little bit of the early '90s. Lex likes that music from the '80s. Head over heels means to fall in love.
This song was on Donnie Darko, a creepy cool movie. That movie was from 2001 and settings is based in the '80s. Had a lot of new wave, post-punk, some goth music from that decade. Duran Duran, The Church, Echo and the Bunnymen, Oingo Boingo, Joy Divison, etc. You need to watch that movie.
Mad world, pale shelter, change and sowing the seeds are some other bangers from them. This is not a trip song but a journey. He is in love but his past is making him feel unsafe or break his heart. The song ends with how his relation has flies by. The song does lead into broken.
Tears for Fears are 80's legends. They have quite a few big hits.
This is a fantastic song...tears for fears are great ...and I'm a metal head
Same. The whole band are solid musicians and Roland Orzabal is an excellent guitarist. His guitar solos have a pop-rock feel to them and are really good.
Me too
I still remember first hearing this song from the movie Donnie darko. It fits so well lol
Donnie Darko opening credits.
The opening credits are of him waking up on the golf course. This was a scene from the school.
@@vlt873 You're right. No credits at the school. By the way, I knew the song was played over the school montage. I just thought that's where credits were shown. To me, that's really the start of the film with everything before it as precursor.
That said, the golf course isn't correct either. It starts in the middle of the road, like at the end. The golf course was the next day. Opening credits were technically on a black background before the road fade in. I think we both need a refresher with this movie. 😆
Great choice guys, my favourite tune from these guys
Great song. Probably my favorite from Curt and Roland.
One of the best bands of all time!
They have many great songs!
From the same album, The Working Hour is a must! Keep it up, guys!
Love the "time flies" voice, Lex! That effect, a "flanger," was also used on the drums too, about a minute before the end, sort of an overhead jet woosh sound.
The opening riff on the keyboard somewhat recalls the church bells after a wedding
Love tears for fears. One of the best 80's groups. Yeah, this song, is about a guy, that is deeply in love/or infatuated with, someone but they don't really feel the same and share the same feelings. Unrequited love. Very relatable.
First heard these guys in the early 80's and still listen to them today.
I am seeing Tears for fears in concert in May,. I have seen my concert in the 80s, 90s and now 2022
He’s “head over heels in love”.
Sowing the Seeds of Love by Tears for Fears is a must...it's an homage to the Beatles, in their style...amazing!! And watch the official video, the graphics are incredible and add to the song
One of my favorite songs and videos by tears for fears, too!
YEAH.....One of thier best....now about that middle keyboard solo??
@Brad & Lex , If you watch the video of this song it shows a student who has a crush on a Librarian and falls (head over heels) in love with her but she never notices him but at the end of the video it shows them both years later happily married .
They are brilliant vocalists and made some great songs back in the day, for some Beatles like goodness, try Sowing the Seeds of Love.
These guys could flat out play and were their own sound. Enjoy! 🎵
Check out their new album. Really great especially for coming out 40 years after they started.
Lex's reaction makes me so happy 😊 This song puts me in a special headspace.
The expression: "I've fallen head over heels in love ".
Tears For Fears were at the top of their game with Songs From the Big Chair. A great album with some of their best material like Shout, Mother's Talk and Everybody Wants to Rule the World. Hard to believe its not far off 40 years since its release.
@@shanebrown4146 Will do. Cheers 👍
@@shanebrown4146 Very enjoyable, lovely to see them both play and sing so well together.
It just drops you back off in the glorious 80s
Donnie Darko
Can't help but love the look on Lex's face as she listens...smiling all the way, she knows this is love.
Their music video for this song is one of my favorites from the 80's.
The school scene in Donnie Darko!!! It's a weird movie that takes a few times watching it to understand it, but its great!! Go watch it!!!
My favorite movie of all time
Head Over Heels means totally and completely. And this usually has a different sounding music, but this must be the radio edit.
The most epic song. Rolling Stone magazine's #148 of greatest songs of all time.
An opus.
Songs From The Big Chair had several hits on it. Great band! The bass by Curt Smith in this song is phenomenal!
Yes it means in love, head over heels saying comes from the fact that when you really like something your head sticks out while your heels are lifted behind
The most successful all-female group in the 1980s, The Go-Go's, also had a hit song entitled Head Over Heels. I believe it was a bigger hit on the charts too. It's not a cover song of Tears for Fears' song ... it's a completely different song that happens to have the same title. Might be interesting to react to it on the "heels" of reacting to this one.
Tears for Fears has been one of my favorite bands since the beginning and they have never disappointed me. Moreover, the last album released 17 years after the previous one is magnificent! I suggest you react to one of their best live track "Badman's Song (Live at Knebworth)" in 1990 I think I'm sure you'll like it
Badman's Song is fantastic, an excursion of musical mastery and for a "long" song always ends too soon!
It's interesting that you mention Bee Gees. I've been basically a life-long fan of both bands.
A lot of TFF songs have a clear, deep meaning but some of them are just meant to be enjoyed.
Another great band from the 80's is Echo & The Bunnymen. I don't know why they don't get much recognition.
Terence Trent D'arby - "Wishing" well or "Dance Little Sister" and/or Sade's -" Sweetest Taboo" ... should land on your late 80's Playlist ... some day :) two of the great voices ...
Hahahaha!!! "He's probably paranoid about this happening because he's tripping"... Lex, you are hilarious!! 😂😂
Thanks, cats. Tears for Fears has a good handful of really great songs. This is one of them.
This was used in Donnie Darko. Awesome movie!
Love this song. You guys must MUST do Sowing The Seeds Of Love next. Trust.
if you get a chance watch the opening scene to the film Donnie Darko. This song is used much in the same way you're describing
Walking slow motion in a movie that takes place in the 80's. That's this song.
Tears for fears were huge gamers back in the 80's and felt inspired to write a song about the classic 8bit isometric game Head Over Heels by Jon Ritman Bernie Drummond originally on spectrum, which is coincidently where they'd first learned to create avant garde synth pop miracles on its under specced 1 bit beeper inbetween reading the latest issues of Crash magazine and Sinclair user and watching metal mickey re-runs ruclips.net/video/PV74emM4I2Q/видео.html
Tears for Fears did a great song called Sowing the Seeds of Love. I highly recommend it.
Superb album, Advice for the Young at Heart another superb track. Why doesn't anyone mention Year of the Knife, is it only me who loves it? 🤔
This is the kind of music I used to hear as a kid while I was with my mom, and she was shopping at discount clothing stores. Kinda takes me back.
Unreacted 80s Stream! You know you want to, Lex! 😁
LOL yes, head over heels means you're in LOVE! As awesome as this song is on its own, the video fits it perfectly.
Sowing the Seeds of Love is a masterpiece. Woman in Chains also. Such great songs.
I can remember listening to this song various times in 1985/86, either on radio or MTV if I had it on. I missed the school bus one morning in 86 to see the Aerosmith/DMC collab for the first time. I have random, useless memories like that, but distinct ones. I used to listen to the radio as I was trying to doze off. Due to doing that from about age 5 to 18 (I had transistor radios or would take my older sibs' cassette player as a little kid), if I listen to even something like Van Halen's Eruption and stuff of that loudness, it still prepares my mind to slip into sleep. I think it's something caused by changes in my neurons from doing that when my brain was developing. If I do it now, I would usually choose something more mellow than VH, but VH would still work. Recently I listened to a few Beatles' remasters and I was fading so hard while it was going into my ears that I had pull out the buds after 3 songs and get into my fave sleeping position.
I didn't know ya'll hadn't done this yet, since it's so popular. I'm lucky to have caught it new.🙂
Tears For Fears "Sowing The Seeds Of Love"...A MUST HEAR.
Superb song from a fantastic album, love Advice For the Young at Heart too. Am l only person who loves Year of the Knife though? Never gets a mention 😔
Great reaction guys !! 80's alternative was fun times. We had actual night clubs that would play this kind of music : )
Brad & Lex, I love you guys & enjoy watching your reaction videos... BUUUT...you guys always over-analyze everything entirely too much 💀😂💀
One of the best albums of the 80s. and it's falsetto
'Broken' is the true conclusion to this song. The two songs were released as a single track on the album and were often played together on the radio.
I believe the song is about him lusting after a girl he can't have.
First time I heard this song was at the start of the film Donnie Darko. Big crush on Drew Barrymore. Wish I had a teacher like her...
You guys should do stand or fall .by the fixx...it's more relevant now then when it was written 30 years ago
classic 80's song, got lots of radio play. this duo so iconic.
And of course after checking your Loverboy reaction I go right to this another 80s great. These guys definitely had a following.
head over heels is sorta like heels behind ears, but different too
This is a song where watching the videowill give you a much clearer vision of the meaning. It is a love song.
I don't know if this song was in a movie, but this band and genre certainly were. Director John Hughes is the man who in effect, created 80s pop synth. I get it that the music was already made, generally, and certainly the genre. But every kid in America heard this kind of music in his movies, and I don't think the popularity of it happens without him.
Lex, this one was huge in high school in the 80’s ! 💯👏👏👍😎
Always a trip back in time, magical.
This song is WIDE open to your own interpretation.
I see it not as a song about love but about relationships. What you wish you had versus what you have.
Once you figure it out it's getting late.
"Funny how time flies."
Take from it what you will. It's my favorite one of theirs. Never gets old to my ears.
Peace
