I would have to agree the 80s vibes, definitely my favourite type of music. It can be extremely innocent but also extremely dark at the same time. It’s the perfect vibe for me
The 80's is a great example of creativity being the leader. Yes, it sometimes got suffocated by the pressures of the record companies but still. Quality stands the test of time very much like the stiff hairdo of Orzabal so iconic of the era and of youthful experimentation.
Loved your comments. I was 15 when this song came out, I'm 55 now. This song is as great now as it was now. It's great that you recognize the difference from today's music. You said it perfectly, the effort that is put into the performances, the better vocals, lyrics, and because these just are real musicians. Keep up the great work!
It's the 80s Reverb and use of Synthesizer that was seen as futuristic.... in some ways it does still. 80s rock was a time of great innovation and creativity. New technologies, musicians were able to experiment with new sounds and create some of the most iconic tracks of all time. Tears for Fears - were New Wave. The 80s were a time when genres started merging and mutating. There were many different genres in the Rock era: New wave, post-punk, synthpop, indie rock, college rock, glam punk, alternative rock, power pop.... and of course the girl bands, big hair, hair metal to thrash metal. Rock ballads as each big group did a ballad or two that were hits. Some of it course started in the 70s and took off in the 80s. Styles like the 60s and 70s before had new trends for the 80s.
I just found your channel. Great reaction. I love watching people discover and better yet - enjoy and appreciate music for the 70's & 80's. Any music really, where the music is a product of the artists' skills, talents and passion. I could suggest 100 songs, so it's hard to find just one.. please consider reacting to an REO Speedwagon song called 'Roll With The Changes'. Have a great day!
Great song! We used to dance and sing to that song when it came out, big time! That song filled the dance floor. Very anthemic. Total 80's anthem. We loved it! Hey, please watch/listen to "Head Over Heels" by Tears For Fears! Another great song!
Great reaction. The music of my youth. I had so much fun growing up in the 70's and 80's . This music brings back memories of my youth. I miss those days. Cheers from Texas !!
First album I ever bought was Songs From The Big Chair and it was because I loved this song the moment it came out. Particularly carried away (as you say) by Roland Orzabal's passion. He was chief writer and singer in the band although most will remember Curt for his looks and he was often the face of the band but I always loved Roland.
These guys are still performing today (they broke up in 1990 and reunited in 2000). Their latest album, 'The Tipping Point', was released last year. If you want to check out currrent music by Tears for Fears, I suggest reacting to the video for 'The Tipping Point.' The whole album is great.
@@Stephicity Thanks for that reaction to one of a multitude of Top Class English Groups back in the day. Luckily, my concert years, in London, started in 1971 around the time that many of the greatest Bands started like Led Zeppelin,Pink Floyd,Yes,SabbathDeep Purple etc and the 1980's was a different British vibe again.
Back in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, music was much different. The 60s and 80s are similar due to the incredible level of fresh sounds and unprecedented creativity. During each decade, the music was eclectic and no one sounded like anyone else. Each artist was unique creating their own sound and style of delivery. The punk movement which began around the mid 70s in England had a huge impact on the industry. Out of punk, came New Wave and the "Romantic Movement", of the era. It was during the 80s where you witnessed the second wave of what would be deemed as the "second British invasion", with groups like "Tears for Fears", "The Police", "Roxy Music (Bryan Ferry)", "Psychodelic Furs", "Gary Numan" and so many others, burning up the charts on both sides of the Atlantic.
This is such a classic. Brings back great memories. I feel so fortunate to have been a teen in the UK in the 1980s with so much fantastic music, and it's great to see it being appreciated decades later by the following generations! You're completely right about how unique the 80s sound was (but maybe I'm biased!) Tears For Fears are definitely work checking out more if you like this sound. "Everybody Wants to Rule The World" was their other big hit, but there are also "Head Over Heels", "Woman in Chains", "Break It Down Again", "Sowing the Seeds of Love", "Pale Shelter" and "Raoul and the Kings of Spain", and those are just my personal favourites. Just discovered your channel and I'm enjoying your genuine, natural reactions to the music review, and that you already have a really eclectic, varied selection of songs you've reviewed so far.
Thank you so much for checking out my channel! and I’m glad you’re enjoying my reactions, I really appreciate that a lot. Thanks for all the knowledgeable information as well! Cheers 😎
What an absolute joy this song is. Makes me want to jump up & down along with it! Let out all your frustration. Its almost psychiatric, psychedelic. How i wish there was a time machine. I would love to have joined that group at the end. I am 56 now. Recently saw your reaction to everybody wants to rule the world. So down to earth & from the heart. As they say your face is a reflection of your heart.
Can you please give a reaction to the following song, if you have not done so already? Bon Jovi is my absolute favourite! I believe this song is a bit underrated. Thank you so much! ruclips.net/video/8HjC6T2HDI4/видео.htmlfeature=shared
One of my three favorite song by Tears for Fears. The other two being Head over Heels and Everybody Wants to Rule the World. Totally agree with you about loving music where heart and soul is put into it. You always can tell when you see and/or hear it.
I'll agree the 80s is an anomaly in terms of sound. So diverse. There are several directions to go what are you looking for? Perhaps check out A Flock Of Seagulls - "I Ran"
Man I hope you do "The Working Hour" sometime, there catalog of great songs is ridiculous, there so much more than there radio hits as you probably know, and as for this song just simply iconic on so many levels, the layering of instruments, the vocals, the music video and last but not least the lyrics! Just unbelievable song writing by Roland, anyways love your channel!
@@Stephicityit's one of those hidden gems that just get lost when an artist has so many "popular" hits like they do, but in my opinion only certain people deserve to ever her this song lol, but anyway I definitely look forward to it and I hope you have a great week!!
I liked your response and reaction. The thing I really love about the first 2 TFF's albums is you can't source their musical influences. This song in particular is very unique. I know their next 2 albums were heavily influenced by the Beatles, but "The Hurting" and "Songs from the Big Chair" are both in a class of their own.
super cool how much you get the 80's vibe. you need to check out the album called the hurting by tears 4 fears, the WHOLE album, so good it is, so good.......... awesome reaction!
Love Tears for Fears. I was in my teens in the 80s and you are right the music from the 1980s had it's own sound / Vibe. Great reaction video. Thanks.... Question... Have you heard any of of Ren's music??
Both members of TFF were treated, lets just say not great as kids, and these songs are a reflection on their unhappy childhood, hence the emotion he puts in to it. Really need to listen to the first album called 'The Hurting' which explains a lot about it. However, 'Shout' is actually on their second album.
Summed up perfectly. I was a youth at this time in England and it was epic. Anyone around then will miss those days so much. And i agree with what you say about modern music and i think a lot of the blame goes on these 'talent' shows were music has been reduced to a pretty boy/girl contest and not an art form and every modern show is basically just about shifting as much merch as possible and cashing in before the fad dies off and i really doubt that in 40 years time people will be looking back on today's music and find it relatable. I dont listen to any modern music and not just became I'm old and nostalgic for the 80s it's because it just doesn't do anything for me. They are more models and actors than genuine musicians and that's a real pity. Id love to be able to hear some really good modern fresh music but it all sounds so fake and forced to my ears and auto tune etc has dehumanised it and they all seem to sound the same. And something i often hear said is 'this could be released today and would still stand up' etc. and they say that as a compliment when really it's an insult. But the smarter youth of today are starting to see all this themselves now, like my 18 year old daughter who loves 80s music and i hope theres a backlash coming against all this over hyped mediocre at best modern music and those young ppl who see this will start to take music forwards by taking it back again and out of the hands of these tasteless talent show judges who have killed creativity and just want puppets and have the worst taste of all. And i think eventually it is bound to happen. Everything you said was 100% and you are wise beyond your years. So there is hope left.
Thank you so much!! For the heartfelt comment 😄 and that’s awesome your daughter likes 80s music! It’s honestly probably my fav . Here on my channel though I am Inclined to react to newer stuff as well, and requests I get but I try to keep a positive mindset and see the good in newer stuff but sometimes it’s hard for sure haha, older music definitely has my heart :)
How about a Van Halen reaction?? ' Ain't talkin bout love-Van Halen ' Van Halen changed music in the late 70s & introduced the 80's. Guitarist Eddie Van Halen was so on fire that even Michael Jacksons camp asked if he would play a guitar solo on Michaels song ' Beat it ' and he did it. A few years later he played keyboards on the song ' Jump '.....enjoyed ur reaction & subscribed 😁😁
You are absolutely right, the music today has no heart or soul, the music industry is trash, even country music all sounds the same now, no originality anymore.
Love your reaction, not over-interrupting, and GETTING the honest PASSION of the song -- It does NEVER get stale as stated previously by among others I'm sure who discovered you long before I did

It still is a 'banger' today... It'll never get stale!
I would have to agree the 80s vibes, definitely my favourite type of music. It can be extremely innocent but also extremely dark at the same time. It’s the perfect vibe for me
Great reaction to Tears For Fears masterpiece. They put more ideas, hooks and feeling into this one song than most bands can manage in a whole album.
I agree! Great band,
Thanks! Cheers

It's almost dystopian so you're right, it still does feel futuristic!!! Aye
...
This song always said epic to me. If you want more, do Broken, Head over heels and Broken live uncut from the album.
Oh man!
Thanks for the suggestions 😄

You have a very good ear and taste if you can't stand what's on the radio today and prefer this stuff. This is top quality 80s creativity.
I agree, pure creativity 😁

Awe nice! I bet 😎 Thanks all the way from Canada haha.
80s was the best time to live
Yes, back then they were musicians now they are performers. The Voice chooses who our next favorite performer is 🙄
This song was 'Anthemic' and had a lot of controversy for no reason only because it had its its own original feel❤🎉🌠🌌🌌🌌🌌STILL LOVE IT💯💯💯
I like what your saying about the 80's music having heart & soul. You should do a reaction of your top 5 or 10 songs. It would be super interesting.

Everything that Taylor, I've just written a song, Swift could never achieve.
Random fact i saw today.. Touch Tunes said Creed was over played more then T swift. Atleast in PA.
What an absolute joy this song is. Makes me want to jump up & down along with it! Let out all your frustration. Its almost psychiatric, psychedelic. How i wish there was a time machine.

These are songs I truly love so much!
They make me want to dance and sing also lol 👍🌼

Thanks I appreciate your comments 🙏🏻
The people in the video were all members of the bands family's
Disturbed does a great cover of this song.
Theirs is called "Shout 2000" off their album "The Sickness".
Oh no way, cool! I will check it out
A call to arms that's still as relevant as ever. Great shout (if you'll excuse the pun).
Lol indeed!
1:09-- kind of like a "spacey" vibe haha. The only way I can describe it.
Love Tears for Fears. I was in my teens in the 80s and you are right the music from the 1980s had it's own sound / Vibe. Great reaction video. Thanks.... Question... Have you heard any of of Ren's music??
Awh, very cool!
& nope but I will definitely check it out!
@@Stephicity Check out Ren featuring Eden Nash with the songs - Humble - or the song - Ocean
80s music is the best !

Another 80's suggestion: "Howard Jones - What Is Love".
