    I am very, very late to the Tears for Fears party. I really only came to appreciate them this year, 2022, with the release of The Tipping Point album. I was so impressed with that CD that I began looking at their back catalog. I recently bought Elemental and Tomcats Screaming Outside, both of which are brilliant. I'm glad I found this documentary since it gives me a window into Roland and his band mates back in 1993.
    I cannot help being struck by how Roland's appearance has changed since then. The Roland Orzabal of today, has a white beard and long white hair, giving him a Gandalf-like appearance, which is fitting, considering he is something of a creative wizard and a magical human being. But still, for some weird reason, I kind of miss the young Roland of Elemental days.
    But, no matter. Either younger or older, Roland Orzabal is a great songwriter, singer, musician and performer. Check out one of the videos of him singing Rivers of Mercy in concert. He's still got it - that immense gift of talent, charisma and creativity.

      Are you referring to Roland Orzabal? Because he is Definitely still on the planet, He is just missing from the current Music community internationally & U.S.
      Which creates a Serious Deficit for all of us True Music conniseurs.🎶🎶🎶🎶🚴

His sexiness is hypnotic too. He can pull you in FIRST with his eyes and then the rest of him. Wow!! I need a man like that in my life!👍

As for «Elemental», it's among the very best TFF-album, a sonic treat with beautiful lyrics, melodies and production. It was very inspiring for me in the early 90s.

  • @JohnArchbell
    @JohnArchbell 4 года назад +5

    A brilliant album. Four guys in a studio - that’s how an organic sounding album is made. I had no idea that ‘Woman in Chains’ (from Sowing The Seeds) was an insight into the marriage of Roland’s parents. It’s such a sad and beautiful song, rolled into one. It’s also coincidence that Tears For Fears recorded a song (‘Break it Down Again’) about how much influence the media has on our unnecessary buying habits - Duran Duran followed a similar vein in the same year with their song ‘Too Much Information’ from The Wedding Album. I really enjoyed watching this promo about an album that remains one of my favourites ever from the 90’s. It’s Ele..Mental.

    My story: Elemental flipped me from a TFF appreciator to a TFF super-fan. It all occurred by happenstance. Prior, I knew their hits and like them well enough in a hum-along kinda way. But I was never invested.
    Then in '93 I was hit with a flu unlike any illness I'd known before. I was KO'ed for a week plus. At some point Elemental showed up in my mailbox compliments of the Columbia House record & tape Club (8 CDs for a penny!).
    I never would have bought it on my own, I was too delirious to care. I listened to that dang CD on repeat for god knows how long. And it grew on me in a BIG way. Eventually going on to become my fave Tears release to date even after going on to "discover" their back catalog such as Big Chair, etc.

      he is a 'messenger' like many other musicians. with the lyrics they try to 'wake people up' but with not much success as many just react/pay atention to the sound/rythm ...we are living organisms and big part of ours is made up of water... ....and as we have learnt thanks to the net, water can take different shape/patterns depending of the sound made...
