I miss the 80's too. Nothing has come close to the variety and quality of music produced during the 80's. Thanks god for RUclips. It's may it possible for my fav 80's bands to tour again (fixx, tff, english beat).
You know their music (especially this song) just takes you to another place ... makes you forget everything. Its so different from everything else. I got my 17 year old neice listening to this now ... she thinks they great ... but she has not clue its from the 80s!!
This song is significant to me personally in numerous ways.... being 15-ish when it was released, it was automatically my favorite from the SFTBC album. Unbeknownst to me at the time, it would come to explain the rest of my life as a corporate worker; but more importantly, was an introduction to jazz when I didn't even know what jazz was ! And they are still one of my favorite listening choices to this day.... I guess that's what people refer to as timeless:-)
Songs From the Big Chair will always be on my all time best albums list. This song and every other song on it are probably the best work ever from Tears for Fears. Although I love the Elemental album and Raoul they really never have held a candle to this. I was sorry to see that the boys got lamb basted on their last album Everybody Loves a Happy Ending. That album stands up well on its own. but none of their other albums came close to this
That modulation before the "find out" part is so freakin great. It builds up to that slowly, and then it's such a great payoff. Fantastic songwriting and arrangement.
OMG, not only a masterful song, but I wish I would have paid more attention to the lyrics when I was 15 ..... I only liked the music back then but now these lyrics are the story of my life
I agree, this could be for me their best song. I am so pleased I kept my video tape ' Songs from the Big Chair' by Tears For Fears I bought in the late eighties, I think I will watch it tomorrow.

25 years ago, that is insane. Great song-writers. Something fresh, interesting, complicated, and original to come out of the 80s. Great stuff TFF
"FIND OUT. FIND OUT. WHAT THIS FEAR IS ABOUT!" - utter amazingness

@TearsForFearsFan Agree 100%, this is my fav from TFF and probably the most under rated song of the 80's.
Wonderful Musicians!
