    Tears For Fears were a band in the 80’s where you listened to it, alone in your bedroom. For hours. People didn’t have a language for emotional problems back then. As they do today. Ppl didn’t ever talk about anxiety etc. Tears For Fears verbalised problems/turmoil for us in the 80’s. Yes their songs were played at parties. But they were an emotional touchstone too.

      @@lynnhettrick7588 No, it was written and recorded first by TFF. Lots of other people have covered it (notably Gary Jules' version) but it was a 1982 Tears for Fears original.
      "Mad World" was originally written on acoustic guitar when Orzabal was 19 after being inspired to write a new wave song in the vein of Duran Duran's "Girls on Film". After a few false starts with Orzabal on vocals, he suggested Smith sing it and "suddenly it sounded fabulous".

Shout along with Everybody Wants to Rule the World stood out as instant classics which have stood the test of time!!! Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith are two of the finest singers and musicians to come out of England. I love their work and they sound just as good today as they did when Shout came out 37 years ago.

    The more you listen to TFF the more you will hear that they do alot of building up songs in layers with a lot going on. Their songs are truth in the sum = the parts. Amber you are right about Rolands voice. Very unique & distinct. No one else sounds like him & his voice is instantly recognizable. Curts voice is softer but good as well. This song featured Rolands voice where Everybody Wants To Rule The World was mostly Curt. One of the best bands ever. Please do more by them , you won't be disappointed.

      Sowing the seeds, caused their break-up to a degree.
      They argued a lot of the direction of the song, it was the search for perfection.
      Supposedly they were not happy with it originally, but it is a perfect song.
      The lyrics are brilliant, and the changes throughout are what makes it a perfect pop song.
      I'm a heavy metal dude. But t4f are possibly my favourite band growing up back then.
      What about mad world...fully electronic and another iconic song.
      woman in chains is pure soul music in a way.

    Greetings from the UK, home of Tears for Fears. The "echoey" effect is a particular effect called gated reverb, actually discovered by accident by Phil Collins. It is used a lot of 80s artistes to create a deeper effect to their voices. It is used in Head Over Heels to accentuate Roland's vibrato, which I know Jay appreciated when you reacted to it! I would be interested to see what you make of their more experimental first album, The Hurting. Mad World and Changes are musts.

      Gated reverb is used on the snare drum in a lot of 80s songs. The common vocal reverb as heard here is a plate reverb with a medium decay, perhaps some slapback delay on there.

    Wow, this song brings me back to how we were both original and hopeful and all the while in the cold war with Russia where no one knew if one day someone would just decide to push a button. We didn't have the internet, just what was reported on tv and in books. The insanity of building up weapons to keep a balance to try to keep peace. As a young person at the time this song helped me get some of it off my chest.

    1985 was a big year for Tears for Fears. This song was their second #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in a row. Everybody Wants To Rule The World was their first #1 hit in America. Back to back #1's. Unbelievable!!! By the way, the front man and lead singer of Tears for Fears is Roland Orzabal.

So many more to recommend but these can get you started. Great reaction!!!

    This album was huge. A couple other must listens from it "Mother's Talk" and "The Working Hour". I think you already reacted to "Head over Heels", but you should hear "Broken" it the song that both leads into, and is reprised, at the end of "Head over Heels", really impressive when the two songs are listened to back to back.

There's documentaries on youtube all about just *that* drum sound of the 80's

      Yes, and also they often used 'gated reverb'. It's a reverb sound that's cut off by a noise gate. This type of drum sound was basically discovered / invented by Phil Collins and made famous by the song "In The Air Tonight".

    I checked out in the '80s and focused on book lernin', but this group's music made its way to my study, and I still love it to this day. Thank y'all so much for keeping groovy music alive. If I could make one tiny suggestion, it would be that, when you stop in mid-sentence, you back it up a little, so that you don't miss, in this case, one of the most important lines in the song. "They gave you life, and in return you gave them Hell." has more impact than "They gave you li..." [Commentary]..."and in return you gave them Hell."
    As y'all evolve the form of music reaction, you will, of course, adopt best practices as they arise. If I weren't writing a story about the phenomenon, I wouldn't have mentioned it. I love the vibe here. The world needs a re-engroovenation. Peace and Love.

The band was popular, but two years later when "Songs from the Big Chair" came out they were radio gods. While Shout never did it for me lyrically, the music of the last minute saves the song. Good choice, but this band's deep cuts are where they really shine. They pour emotion into every corner.
