Roland's writing, lyrics and voice are just outstanding - he is a true talent. I love that his music is so personal to him and so emotive. He has stood by his "I am not a popstar" stance and, being such a private person, there is a mystique about him that is so refreshing. He comes across as unfriendly but he is not... He simply makes music, which is what he loves, but his fans want all of him and he keeps what he can to himself. He is a very private man.
Eu me sinto no meio de uma nebulosa, sendo transportada para o céu através da voz e interpretação do Roland! A beleza não dá para definir e mensurar...
This song and video puts me in a trance. Tomcats Screaming Outside is a great and underrated album by Roland Orzabal. I can play this song over and over again...
19 years since this album and 16 years since the last TfF album, I wish there was a new one to listen to; the two songs from their latest greatest hits compilations were an absolute tease.
The problem was, this album was released in the states on 9/11 - yes, you read it right, 9/11! As such, it never got promoted properly and Roland didn't tour to support it due to all the terrorist B.S. Being a hardcore TFF fan for 31 years (since '81) I have kept in the loop of what's been going on. Sadly so many people stopped listening after the "Seeds" album. They've missed A LOT!
astralaris Thank for that bit of history. I was also questioning how did I miss this Music? I was on plane from Washington to Chicago during the early a.m...10th to 11th of September. Be well.
I did NOT know this but I’m so glad to finally have an explanation because Roland ain’t no nobody and this album was INCREDIBLE and yet I don’t even hear TFF fans talk or even know about this album.
Me siento afortunada de vivir en el tiempo de Mr. Orzabal, poder conocer y disfrutar del músico y compositor más grande y de más talento de los ultimos 30 años, y sentir el placer que proporciona su voz potente y suave. Tienes todavía mucho tiempo por delante para seguir demostrando lo que vales.
This is such a great song! I hate the fact that I discovered this album earlier this year,but at the same time...better now than NEVER!! Song is HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!
This song put the hairs on my neck at attention while simultaneously putting me in a peaceful trance. Roland Orzabal ladies and gents. Love the picture montage too.
A letra dessa musica é sofrência pura! Solidão, carência ! Nós sempre achamos que o artista, por estar sempre rodeado de fãs e muita gente, esta plenamente feliz! E Nem é bem assim! Alias o ser humano precisa sempre de "alguém pra chamar de seu"! Por ter 5.. das pessoas à sua disposição...mas sempre tem que ter "aquela" pessoa, que pode ser um amigo, um namorado, sei la! A musica é linda! Pena que nao tenha um video do Roland cantando e estamos aqui.. esperando que o Tears For Dears derrube o muro que construiu em torno deles...e volte a se apresentar nem que seja numa praça, numa ponte...em cima de um predio.. kkk porque nao??? Fica a sugestão!!! Amo vcs!!!
Eu acho a letra assim também mas tanto Ozabal quanto Curt sempre demonstraram sentimentos desde os anos 80! Eu sinto determinadas emoções em várias músicas... Quanto aos shows; estiveram no Brasil várias vezes; no Rock In Rio em 2017.... Acho que os contratantes é que não procuraram a Banda!
Mesmerizing....it leaves me a bit..breathless...I am hearing this for the first time..I was on a plane leaving Washington on 9/11. Thank you Roland .. Thank you for uploading this...Be Well.
Igualmente, yo pienso lo mismo Francisco. Ojalá vengan éste año a México. Nuevamente les mando saludos, desde la ciudad de Guadalajara; Jalisco, México. 👋🏽 🇲🇽
That something, that glow/warmth still resides & lives in you... Like a seed waiting for rain... The rain of life waiting to evoke reflection & provide connection/release we yearn for after anything incredible passes into our lives regardless of the status of that energy we field in that moment throughout our lives...the emotion, we feel it, one with it...warm in it and out of it... Thus new by it good luck and best wishes for u as well! Some have never felt the warmth, cherish it forever!
Hi Roland, I love your voice and your music since I am 11, I am now 40 and think I do now even more. Thanks for this art you have been sharing with us, you are unique, definitly. This song is awesome, once again! All the best for you
@inyourminddeep The most beautiful, thoughtful and profound comment I've ever read. Thank you for sharing. I do understand Roland and his music can bring such deep emotions and feelings. A French fan.
I too have been a fan since the beginning.... Sadly, as their record sales in the UK, USA etc have out sold Australia (and because we are so far away!) they've only toured a couple of times. I've seen them in concert twice (in Perth WA) .... back in the 80's when I too was a teenager and then happily just a few years back when they toured with Spandau Ballet (who I saw in concert back in the 80's also!). I've just bought Roland's solo album that was not release in Aust but was on Amazon UK.YAY!
What a stunning video you have made! I just listened to this song for the first time last night on my ipod(better late than never, eh?), and ended up repeating it several times. Aahh.......Roland......what a talent!!! Thank you for posting this :-)
alvez os nossos dias estejam contados Talvez eu queira ter você de volta Talvez estas palavras estejam vazias Talvez eu não me importe se você ver outra pessoa ahh, estamos indo contra a corrente de novo ahh, estamos crescendo na contramão
Maybe our days are numbered Maybe I want you back Maybe these words are empty Maybe I don't mind if you see someone else Ah, are we going against the grain again? Ah, are we growing up against the grain? You're building those walls around you I no longer see the light that shined so bright You build but you can't afford to So I ask if I can stay with you tonight Ah, are we going against the grain again? Ah, are we growing up against the grain? Maybe our days are numbered Maybe I want you back Ah, are we going against the grain again? Ah, are we growing up against the grain?
@StoryeTime thank you! I feel it's in the moments of warmth at times we realize the pace of life! How the cold onto our skin can feel like the winters wind or refresh us like a semi sunny walk in the park on a fall day! The detatchment in our veins, a reaction to the pain we feel, the lonley, the yearning to love - be loved! It's when the warmth that floods in real or unreal takes us over we loose our breath! The rush of being alive in that moments will - sustains! Here for a moment in time~
@johnartmaster john, I Wish to thank you for your wisdom and sharing your life. I can relate to the cold, to the silence, I do know life is full of things so horrific i can't imagine them... I thank you for shaing with me, and everyone who's read our comments now. I only hold the warm cause I somehow find it, thank you for preparing me for the bitter cold. I somehow hope & wish for all who can find light, warmth, hope, love and light to reach, love, share to those in cold dark places thanks..
Você está construindo paredes em torno de você Eu não vejo mais a luz que brilhou tão forte Você construiu, mas você não podia se dar ao luxo Então, pergunto se posso ficar contigo esta noite ahh, estamos indo contra a corrente de novo ahh, estamos crescendo na contramão
No, this song was part of the album tomcats screaming outside which was during the time of Roland’s and Curt’s split, this was possibly about curt though I can’t be sure, hope this helped anyway

AWESOME, TIMELESS, GENIUS,❤️❤️❤️
Eu me sinto no meio de uma nebulosa, sendo transportada para o céu através da voz e interpretação do Roland!
A beleza não dá para definir e mensurar...
Beautiful! Roland is the most talented musician ever! His music is timeless! Thanks for sharing Pursche 70!
Orzabal will always be one of my favourite songwriters ever. His songs are dreamy, mesmerizing, unique.
Also love his voice, so pure and honest.
I am completely , irretrievably and utterly smitten with this man and this song...yup!!
Roland is the best. He is so talented. Love everything that he makes
Most overlooked musical artistic genius ever
Amen!!!!!!
This whole album is wholly overlooked. Bulletproof album I can’t believe how slept on it is
I heard this song watching an episode of CSI (4x09,while nick reconstructing the bomb) and now I'm in love with it. Great song.
LOVE THIS!!!!! Roland, #1, song writer and musician of the world!❤️🌟❤️🌟
This song and video puts me in a trance. Tomcats Screaming Outside is a great and underrated album by Roland Orzabal. I can play this song over and over again...
TheMonolith75 .pitty its not in records in plymouth. But i dont care as i have google music on my samsung gaxay j36 phone.
Didnt spell that very .sorry i mean pitty its not in the record shop in plymouth.
I used to play this over and over on that cd...
19 years since this album and 16 years since the last TfF album, I wish there was a new one to listen to; the two songs from their latest greatest hits compilations were an absolute tease.
Yes, it has this strain and power, I agree....
The problem was, this album was released in the states on 9/11 - yes, you read it right, 9/11! As such, it never got promoted properly and Roland didn't tour to support it due to all the terrorist B.S.

I did NOT know this but I’m so glad to finally have an explanation because Roland ain’t no nobody and this album was INCREDIBLE and yet I don’t even hear TFF fans talk or even know about this album.
I loved his solo album. It was very subtle and very beautiful.
Roland's voice is so strong and he does so much with it. A true talent, as a singer, writer and musician.
Album after album, Tff never disappoint.
He has the voice and the vocals and sound it's Roland 😂
One of the greatest songs ever written....
Me siento afortunada de vivir en el tiempo de Mr. Orzabal, poder conocer y disfrutar del músico y compositor más grande y de más talento de los ultimos 30 años, y sentir el placer que proporciona su voz potente y suave. Tienes todavía mucho tiempo por delante para seguir demostrando lo que vales.
Tears for Fears, Roland Orzabal is a genius. Thank you for making such beautiful music. My father is a big fan, now me
La obra de Roland sigue siendo tan impresionante como siempre. Un genio de la música no suficientemente reconocido
Totalmente de acuerdo, Alberto.
Concuerdo. Es maravilloso.
No es un músico para las masas.Su talento es tan refinado y exquisito que su música es de culto.
Un genio como compositor y un talento enorme como cantante. La amplitud de su registro vocal es asombra
I don’t ask why. I don’t ask how. I just do! Love this.
Beautifully made video to another exquisite song by Roland. His voice is honey. His lyrics sweet heartbreak. Amazing job❤️
This is such a great song! I hate the fact that I discovered this album earlier this year,but at the same time...better now than NEVER!! Song is HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!
Great song. Roland's a genius.
This song put the hairs on my neck at attention while simultaneously putting me in a peaceful trance. Roland Orzabal ladies and gents. Love the picture montage too.
I was impelled to listen again..
This is powerfully...emotive...it has a trance like quality to it...beautiful...

TFF... FLAWLESS, time after time.

Hi Roland, I love your voice and your music since I am 11, I am now 40 and think I do now even more. Thanks for this art you have been sharing with us, you are unique, definitly. This song is awesome, once again! All the best for you
Beautiful. Congratulations.
@inyourminddeep The most beautiful, thoughtful and profound comment I've ever read.
Thank you for sharing.
I do understand Roland and his music can bring such deep emotions and feelings.
A French fan.
I too have been a fan since the beginning.... Sadly, as their record sales in the UK, USA etc have out sold Australia (and because we are so far away!) they've only toured a couple of times.

One of the best groups of the 1980s😂
Amazing work! Thank you for sharing this video!
Anyone that doesn't know this one doesn't know what their missing.
cd maravilhoso.
Canção gostosa e viciante. Vale ouvir muitas vezes e perceber as camadas de arranjos...linda
What a stunning video you have made! I just listened to this song for the first time last night on my ipod(better late than never, eh?), and ended up repeating it several times. Aahh.......Roland......what a talent!!! Thank you for posting this :-)
Beautiful
Spero di vederlo presto in concerto in Italia insieme a Curt❤️
Love it - always loved TFF - why have I not heard this? oh yeah, american radio sucks
Eu me transporto para o Multiverso com essa música... É impressionante tanta beleza!
good song. i love. it good video
❤❤❤
I have chills running up my arms and spine..
AMAZING........................SO BEAUTIFUL
alvez os nossos dias estejam contados
Talvez eu queira ter você de volta
Talvez estas palavras estejam vazias
Talvez eu não me importe se você ver outra pessoa
ahh, estamos indo contra a corrente de novo
ahh, estamos crescendo na contramão
Good minimalist piece.
Lovely track
..
You really captured the tone of the song so well. Its like a custom tailored suit : )
Maybe our days are numbered
Maybe I want you back
Maybe these words are empty
Maybe I don't mind if you see someone else
Ah, are we going against the grain again?
Ah, are we growing up against the grain?
You're building those walls around you
I no longer see the light that shined so bright
You build but you can't afford to
So I ask if I can stay with you tonight
Ah, are we going against the grain again?
Ah, are we growing up against the grain?
Maybe our days are numbered
Maybe I want you back
Ah, are we going against the grain again?
Ah, are we growing up against the grain?
Спасибо за текст 4:14
I love this song
@StoryeTime thank you! I feel it's in the moments of warmth at times
we realize the pace of life! How the cold onto our skin can feel like the winters wind
or refresh us like a semi sunny walk in the park on a fall day! The detatchment in our veins, a reaction to the pain we feel, the lonley, the yearning to love - be loved!

Você está construindo paredes em torno de você
Eu não vejo mais a luz que brilhou tão forte
Você construiu, mas você não podia se dar ao luxo
Então, pergunto se posso ficar contigo esta noite
ahh, estamos indo contra a corrente de novo
ahh, estamos crescendo na contramão
So nice...
lauritabein
lauritabein I agree, very nice this sound....
Lovely track / video
