Not just a hit maker. These guys really knew how to arrange and produce songs, incorporating interesting breaks, instrumentation, lyrics, and passion that helped put them above the majority of 80s bands.
To understand this song and the entire debut album it's on (The Hurting, 1983), one thing must be said: both members of the band were enchanted by the work of the psychotherapist Arthur Janov, whose most renowned book was Primal Scream (1970). Janov was the inventor of “primal therapy”, a treatment that encouraged the patient to explore his childhood traumas, experiencing them for a second time and then expressing the long-repressed pain. One way to release this pain is this primal scream. The same name of the duo, not by chance, comes from a psychotherapeutic treatment developed by Janov, during which the patient lives again the earliest sensations of the perinatal age, hence the name “Tears for Fears”. Both members felt that their parents had not given them love, but only a weak, “Pale Shelter”. Composing The Hurting was a way to throw out all the things they absorbed in the childhood, to take the feelings of abandonment, rejection and anger and turn them into something active. With its pure emotions, The Hurting is the album for those who have experienced what being imprisoned in our own emotions means; for those who have felt the desperation that makes its way, when you cannot escape, whether it comes from childhood or not.

Omg yes I noticed this too! My mom actually used to listen to this song a lot when I was little and I love The Weeknd so when I was listening to Secrets I was like this sounds familiar! There are other New Wave artists he samples, too- he’s probably inspired a lot by this genre + era.
Yes it was. We bought a single every week with our pocket money. My first was If I can't have you, I don't want nobody baby. Years gone by and still love it. 70s and 80s were great times to grow up in.

Im from Brasil 🇧🇷, São Paulo City. I miss so much these times... Today we are lost in the dark... But light still here... Tears for fears, Duran Duran, pet shop boys, Depeche Mode, simple minds, The cure, etc...
who loves Tears for Fears? I definitely do. Beautiful and emotional music, awesome singing. And not to forget these guys are so good looking up till today.
Probably the best New Wave band of the 80s, their transition from synth pop (at the beginning of the decade) to jazz influenced songs (at the end of the decade) shows how good they were by then.
Ok I’m finally going to say my mom was the Location Manager for this video.. This video was the 1st EVER VIDEO FILMED HERE IN UNITED STATES By Tears for fears… Filmed at our friends house off Winnetka Ca and yes that’s a real alligator which we had wranglers for.. ( If you look in the far corner of the swimming pool shot-Ull see a large tree w a swing--We used that same tree for Friday The 13Th Jason Lives Where Jason gets struck by lightning and comes back to life ) Anyhow in the classroom that’s me and my friends :) The guy w the freckles the main kid his name is John .. They liked his look being of a normal kid.. And yes.. What an AWESOME Time this actually was… :) Location Mgr Pamela O’Har.. My mom
I didn't really appreciate 80s music when I was a teenager then but my God I do now, fantastic music, bands and memories. Makes me happy and sad in equal measures x
Same here. At the time (mid 90s) as a kid I thought new wave sounded kind of plastic and weird compared to regular rock. But now I realize how inventive and really atmospheric this music was.
you missed a lot. I was 7 when this came out and it was one of my all-time favourite songs even when I did not know the title or the name of the group. ALl I know is that it was being played on our local TV station in Nigeria. That's how big they were then.
I miss the 80s not only to be young again but the music was some of the best. Better than the music nowdays . I feel sorry for the young kids. That's y I raised my kids on 80s they were born 94-2000. And they love the 80s . Especially out field
Every Thursday you would wait for the new videos to release. The epic hits seemed to be non stop between 83 and 86. Great time to be alive. can't name one thing better now
This song is the definition of the 80s I'm 53 and I'm lucky enough to remember those exciting times..if I'd never heard this song before I'd say.."Its the 80s no doubt"
Same here. I will be 53 in March - yet I recall this great song from way back in April 83 when it came out just after my 16th birthday...... Great times/fantastic era - but so long ago now (sigh😂).
Not sure why this didn't get more MTV play. It's not as good as their hits, sure, and lacks a good hook and is too subtle for MTV audiences. Maybe the croc is too scary and takes one out of the song. I guess the croc symbolized the bloody Primal Scream?
@@michaelmiller7160Are you CRAZY?!!!! This is wayyy better than their hits! Comments like yours infuriate me because things that appeal to the lowest common denominator are deemed superior. It's very catchy but oftentimes if a band is just getting started, they are more artsy and less commercial. I was in high school in the early '80s. I loved whenever this video would pop up on an obscure VHF show I'd watch (long before UA-cam). I sure hope you're young and just don't know any better but unfortunately I can see someone my age (almost 58) writing the same damn thing...😐
@@lemurianchick More catchy and better than Shout or "Rule the World"? I can't believe you think that but I wouldn't call you CRAZY. It's all taste, nothing more.
One of the best song ever , this brings me back to my childhood in italy ❤ I was so happy with my grandparents my parents and friends over there 🇮🇹 time changed I don't feel that happiness anymore . Only this music is still here that helps to cope with this dark days
I long for the 80s too my friend, my dad would play this in his pick up while me and my 10 year old mates sat in the rear bed of the truck, no seatbelts, no real seats, no cares!!
Most underrated 80's band of all time is without a doubt: Huey Lewis and the News NOBODY EVER talks about that band. Gen Z doesn't even know who they are.. and yet they have the most iconic hit songs of the 80's.
Tears for Fears are one of those bands you say, they did that?! I've always liked this song, but I had no idea it was them. It just goes to show how versatile they are which is a very good thing as far as I'm concerned.
Curt & Roland... I cannot express the gratitude i feel for you both for having made my life a better experience. Being a source of happiness, inspiration, support and comfort. You two are eternal and occupy a big and important part in the history of music, culture and, specially, many lives all over Earth. Simply... thank you. 💓💓💓💓💓💓
So I recently got onto a Tears for Fears kick. As a child of the 80s I've always appreciated their biggest hits, but now I'm discovering some of their lesser known stuff. I initially wasn't sure what I thought of this song, but upon re-listening, it's captivated me. Truly an underrated gem! I totally dig the instrumental opening!
I had a such huge crush on these guys when I was a teenager. I was lucky enough to have my teen years coincide exactly with the onset of MTV and the dawning of new age music. I'll never forget seeing Tears for Fears live when I was 16. Such great memories of that whole era.
As a person born in 2001, I can't tell you enough how jealous i am that I wasn't born in the 1960s 70s! life just seems to be so much better than it is now 😢
Fico chateada em não nascer nos anos 80 Época parecia ser tudo menos acelerado e todo mundo vivia de forma mais natural e com emoção 😭 época ouro sorte de quem era jovem ou criança nessa época
Na verdade como naquela época não existia internet redes sociais tudo era visto pela televisão!!! Então essas músicas só tocavam nas rádios sim naquela época era tudo real não essa melacao de rede social
Toda década tem seus altos e baixos. A música pode até ter sido mais humana e doce. Mas agora tem mais sofisticação, técnica e variedade. Tínhamos bem menos recursos. Minha época tinha muitas coisas extremamente difíceis, desde limitação tecnológica como psicossocial. Foi uma época duríssima com pouco suporte como hoje em dia. Portanto perceba, compreenda as diferenças, e mais que tudo, aproveite as facilidades e alegrias que tem hoje. Pois elas não existiam ontem.
The extended version of this has to be there best song amongst many. Especially the longer introduction and the extended base guitar breakdown in the middle.
GTA Vice City has introduced me to some amazing music and to an amazing decade, and for that I will always be grateful.

How can I be sure
When all the time you changed my mind
I asked for more and more
How can I be sure
When you don't give me love (You gave me pale shelter)
You don't give me love (you give me cold hands)
And I can't operate on this failure
When all I want to be is
Completely in command
How can I be sure
For all you say you keep me waiting
How can I be sure
When all you do is see me through
I asked for more and more
How can I be sure
When you don't give me love (You gave me pale shelter)
You don't give me love (you give me cold hands)
And I can't operate on this failure
When all I want to be is
Completely in command
I've been here before
There is no why, no need to try
I thought you had it all
I'm calling you, I'm calling you
I ask for more and more
How can I be sure
When you don't give me love (You gave me pale shelter)
You don't give me love (you give me cold hands)
And I can't operate on this failure
When all I want to be is
Completely in command
You don't give me love
You don't give me love
You don't give me love
You don't give me love

Equint77 😂 facts
In Wave 1O3
Fuck yeah my dude
Definitely,
I'm a 90s kid and I agree
Nothing can come close to the great 80's music
Your delusional
The truth in this.
Heard this song almost 40 years ago ❣️ till now. I searched for it. It was❤❤ somewhere in my subconscious....
I still have a green vinyl version of this single that I bought from Woolworths. Buying music was a lot more interesting in the old days.
Yes it was. We bought a single every week with our pocket money. My first was If I can't have you, I don't want nobody baby. Years gone by and still love it. 70s and 80s were great times to grow up in.
Yes no one nowadays is going to have fond memories of downloading a song. The music’s rubbish now anyway.
Would you ever consider selling this to me?
ironically my parents had to just dispose of a lot of vinyls they had since we had no room for them anymore, they would be worth so damn much nowadays
Yes picked up many bargain lps from woolies.
How can I be sure?
When your intrusion is my illusion
How can I be sure
When all the time you changed my mind
I asked for more and more
How can I be sure
When you don't give me love (You gave me pale shelter)
You don't give me love (you give me cold hands)
And I can't operate on this failure
When all I want to be is
Completely in command
How can I be sure
For all you say you keep me waiting
How can I be sure
When all you do is see me through
I asked for more and more
How can I be sure
When you don't give me love (You gave me pale shelter)
You don't give me love (you give me cold hands)
And I can't operate on this failure
When all I want to be is
Completely in command
I've been here before
There is no why, no need to try
I thought you had it all
I'm calling you, I'm calling you
I ask for more and more
How can I be sure
When you don't give me love (You gave me pale shelter)
You don't give me love (you give me cold hands)
And I can't operate on this failure
When all I want to be is
Completely in command
You don't give me love
You don't give me love
You don't give me love
You don't give me love
You don't give me love
You don't give me love
Thanks for sharing these great lyrics from this outstanding band
control*
not command 👌
@@darrenm.8049 yes it is command
Lyrics revealed itself on what is happening to the leaders of Europe. "Operate on this failure'
Yes 👏
February 2024 simply..........You can't beat it!
Great song.My boyfriend now hubby of many years took me to see them at Newcastle Town hall for my 18th Birthday in 1985.They were great!
1982, 1983, 1984, the three very best years ever in the Music History, without doubts!! Too bad Music is never be the same quality again :(
Music is the same quality. You just do not listen to it.
They are putting out a remastered version of all their songs. 👍
Every year of the 80s created someones story
maybe 82 83 and 84 were just your ears and mind's best focus on music.
Not sure if they were the best years ever but they were nonetheless tremendous. So many great albums/singles were released in those years.
Im from Brasil 🇧🇷, São Paulo City. I miss so much these times... Today we are lost in the dark... But light still here... Tears for fears, Duran Duran, pet shop boys, Depeche Mode, simple minds, The cure, etc...
Happy 61st birthday Roland. Grand Theft Auto brought me here.
Long live Tears For Fears,absolute astonishing band of my era 80/90's ❤ 😍
who loves Tears for Fears? I definitely do. Beautiful and emotional music, awesome singing. And not to forget these guys are so good looking up till today.
They are gorgeous!!!
I used to look like Curt/kurt Smith.i am 53 now.
Probably the best New Wave band of the 80s, their transition from synth pop (at the beginning of the decade) to jazz influenced songs (at the end of the decade) shows how good they were by then.
Because they don't do the same thing twice
Ok I’m finally going to say my mom was the Location Manager for this video.. This video was the 1st EVER VIDEO FILMED HERE IN UNITED STATES By Tears for fears… Filmed at our friends house off Winnetka Ca and yes that’s a real alligator which we had wranglers for.. ( If you look in the far corner of the swimming pool shot-Ull see a large tree w a swing--We used that same tree for Friday The 13Th Jason Lives Where Jason gets struck by lightning and comes back to life ) Anyhow in the classroom that’s me and my friends :) The guy w the freckles the main kid his name is John .. They liked his look being of a normal kid.. And yes.. What an AWESOME Time this actually was… :) Location Mgr Pamela O’Har.. My mom
May 20 2024. 10:12PM. In Hialeah Florida. Pale Shelter. Nice song
I didn't really appreciate 80s music when I was a teenager then but my God I do now, fantastic music, bands and memories. Makes me happy and sad in equal measures x
me too, more sad to be honest.
Would love to go back to that time.it was nostalgic.
Same here. At the time (mid 90s) as a kid I thought new wave sounded kind of plastic and weird compared to regular rock. But now I realize how inventive and really atmospheric this music was.
Agreed my friend 👍😊

Tears for Feard, their music never gets old. I loved their music.
J'adore cette chanson !
Brilliant tune
Brilliant tune 🤠
The world hasnt always been shit and upside down ... the 80s were peak civilization
I was born in 2006 and this is one of my fav songs. I love 80s music so much
The Cure, Depeche mode, just a few to check out if not already
you missed a lot. I was 7 when this came out and it was one of my all-time favourite songs even when I did not know the title or the name of the group. ALl I know is that it was being played on our local TV station in Nigeria. That's how big they were then.
Bravo
3:51 lol, hadn't seen the paper plane falling right onto Roland's eye
Love that they kept that obvious blooper in the video!
I was waiting for that to happen!
Poor guy, but he's British, so he won't get upset about it
@@giulianocarta1146
That’s right, keeping that stiff upper lip at all time.
I miss the 80s not only to be young again but the music was some of the best. Better than the music nowdays . I feel sorry for the young kids. That's y I raised my kids on 80s they were born 94-2000. And they love the 80s . Especially out field
I love how The Weeknd is introducing 80s music to a new generation
If you're listening this on quarantine say Yes.
Greetings from Brazil
Banana Pill Yep
Hell yeah !
Ohh yes
Banana Pill YES on replay
Banana Pill yes 🌷
I'm 56 and I've never heard this. Wow.
Such a beautiful song.
I thought I was good looking in them times, Curtis beats me.
Excellent song to listen to on a rainy summer day.
@@tranquilogameplays5545 That is also a great time of the year for this song to be listened to.
Nothing beats the feeling of listening to this song as Adam First on Wave 103 says in complete darkness
Definitely one of the best bands of the decade.
This is amazing. Better than most modern music.
Better than ALL modern music . No ifs or buts
@@covidwasacon Far better than almost all modern music. Generally all I will agree lol
Ye
SUBSTANCE 😮
Sometimes I wonder what it was like to hear these songs new. I envy those people who lived during the times 80s classics were released
Not just the musical environment it was much easier everything so much cheaper, nothing but possibility. No social media just real life
Every Thursday you would wait for the new videos to release.
The epic hits seemed to be non stop between 83 and 86.
Great time to be alive.
can't name one thing better now
I am absolutely certain that I will never get sick of this song
This song is the definition of the 80s I'm 53 and I'm lucky enough to remember those exciting times..if I'd never heard this song before I'd say.."Its the 80s no doubt"
Roz Trevelyan, I'm 52 & remember it all clearly. Our generation were the lucky ones, to be young in such a vibrant age.
Me to 52 and still miss the 80s,play this in my 80s mk1 golf... Still living the dream..
I’m 49 and loved TFF’s, they were the epitome of cool. We were so lucky to have lived through the 80’s.
Same here. I will be 53 in March - yet I recall this great song from way back in April 83 when it came out just after my 16th birthday......
Great times/fantastic era - but so long ago now (sigh😂).
I'm 42, and I love this decade. I'm a major mallrat also! 🤣🤣
For me, best song of the 80s. Greetings from Italy
This music is just so much better then the music we have today
Not sure why this didn't get more MTV play. It's not as good as their hits, sure, and lacks a good hook and is too subtle for MTV audiences. Maybe the croc is too scary and takes one out of the song. I guess the croc symbolized the bloody Primal Scream?
Lejos lejos de la basura q pasan ahora
No comparison. 80s in a different place..
@@michaelmiller7160Are you CRAZY?!!!! This is wayyy better than their hits! Comments like yours infuriate me because things that appeal to the lowest common denominator are deemed superior. It's very catchy but oftentimes if a band is just getting started, they are more artsy and less commercial. I was in high school in the early '80s. I loved whenever this video would pop up on an obscure VHF show I'd watch (long before UA-cam). I sure hope you're young and just don't know any better but unfortunately I can see someone my age (almost 58) writing the same damn thing...😐
@@lemurianchick More catchy and better than Shout or "Rule the World"? I can't believe you think that but I wouldn't call you CRAZY. It's all taste, nothing more.
So OUCH!!! 3:52
Cruising around Vice City while listening to Wave 103 and FlashFM, good times.
Memories...
Memories..
Memories..
@@ThisIzWeezyF god you people are sheep three people said the same exact thing
also Crockett's theme on emotion 98.3
One of the GREATEST bands EVER!!!!!
🇧🇷 Saudades dos 80's e 90's 😢😢🎉
One of the best song ever , this brings me back to my childhood in italy ❤ I was so happy with my grandparents my parents and friends over there 🇮🇹 time changed I don't feel that happiness anymore . Only this music is still here that helps to cope with this dark days
Keep going, things will improve
I long for the 80s too my friend, my dad would play this in his pick up while me and my 10 year old mates sat in the rear bed of the truck, no seatbelts, no real seats, no cares!!
Tears for Fears is debatably the most underrated band of all time.
Underrated? By who? Who would be so stupid to do so?
They are underrated now but back in the 80s they were huge.
Psychedelic furs, Skinny Puppy and 100’s of bands from the 80’s fall under that category.
Most underrated 80's band of all time is without a doubt:
Huey Lewis and the News
NOBODY EVER talks about that band. Gen Z doesn't even know who they are.. and yet they have the most iconic hit songs of the 80's.
@@taekwondotime They're not underated, they're painfully square
I love reading the comments and seeing all languages loving this song. That is an amazing accomplishment that music no longer has much of these days.
Essa música é d mais perfeita
Working out the emotions of a mother through the eyes of a boy
Im greatful beeing a kid and teen ager in the 80's
after 38 years im still in love with it
The vocal highs at 3:08 are absolutely amazing.
And the paper plane hitting Roland's eye at 3:52 is the chef's touch
@@danielamancio6586 🛫👁💥😆😆😆😆😆
@@kzmz80-90 🤪
Yeh, Curt is amazing
Especially while perfectly coinciding with the Pan Am DC 10 taking off in the background.
Tears for Fears are one of those bands you say, they did that?! I've always liked this song, but I had no idea it was them. It just goes to show how versatile they are which is a very good thing as far as I'm concerned.
What a great song! It should be played on the radio all the time! Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷 ❤❤❤
Curt & Roland... I cannot express the gratitude i feel for you both for having made my life a better experience. Being a source of happiness, inspiration, support and comfort.
You two are eternal and occupy a big and important part in the history of music, culture and, specially, many lives all over Earth.
Simply... thank you. 💓💓💓💓💓💓
I told my therapist I wanted to explore "Primal Scream" and she was down. I am so grateful to Roland and Curt for them going thru it.
@@berlinsaintclair9100 I hope the therapy goes well. Sending love.
Ditto. Dunno what my life would be like without my boys
4:04 the paper plane hits Rolands eye lol
His hair is so dope ,
The weekend samples this in secrets , thats how I found this song , absolutely amazing song
Such an iconic 80's tune. It sounds like Duran Duran, Howard Jones, the Thompson Twins and Human League in one.
Pelos comentários percebo que ainda existem MUITOS brasileiros de bom gosto (graças a Deus).
Sim marcia Parabéns pelo seu bom gosto.👍 valeu tamojunto ótima noite...
Tmj👏🏻
Com certeza.
🙏❤️
Bom gosto mas você tem a bolsonazi como presidente
So I recently got onto a Tears for Fears kick. As a child of the 80s I've always appreciated their biggest hits, but now I'm discovering some of their lesser known stuff. I initially wasn't sure what I thought of this song, but upon re-listening, it's captivated me. Truly an underrated gem! I totally dig the instrumental opening!
I went through a similar phase a few years ago. This song is brilliant.
Brilliant
This was a well known song in Europe/ Australia. Not in the US.
I hear the secrets that you keep
I had a such huge crush on these guys when I was a teenager. I was lucky enough to have my teen years coincide exactly with the onset of MTV and the dawning of new age music. I'll never forget seeing Tears for Fears live when I was 16. Such great memories of that whole era.
i really love all their songs.. any fav. of urs?
Not New Age, it was New Wave. New age is crap.
love it
Wow... so jealous right now.
I used to look like Curt/kurt Smith in the 80s
As a person born in 2001, I can't tell you enough how jealous i am that I wasn't born in the 1960s 70s! life just seems to be so much better than it is now 😢
Incomparables nuestros 80❤
This was on The Netflix show Halston . My jaw dropped . After all these years it still feels like it’s from the future 🥳
Yes, haha. I want my youth back minus the pain.

Fico chateada em não nascer nos anos 80
Época parecia ser tudo menos acelerado e todo mundo vivia de forma mais natural e com emoção 😭 época ouro sorte de quem era jovem ou criança nessa época
Só as verdades 😥
Na verdade como naquela época não existia internet redes sociais tudo era visto pela televisão!!! Então essas músicas só tocavam nas rádios sim naquela época era tudo real não essa melacao de rede social
Eu também nasci em 90 amo essas músicas
Toda década tem seus altos e baixos.
A música pode até ter sido mais humana e doce. Mas agora tem mais sofisticação, técnica e variedade. Tínhamos bem menos recursos.
Minha época tinha muitas coisas extremamente difíceis, desde limitação tecnológica como psicossocial. Foi uma época duríssima com pouco suporte como hoje em dia.
Portanto perceba, compreenda as diferenças, e mais que tudo, aproveite as facilidades e alegrias que tem hoje. Pois elas não existiam ontem.

This is so early 80’s it hurts. I remember this on KROQ in Los Angeles. So much good stuff back then.
The extended version of this has to be there best song amongst many. Especially the longer introduction and the extended base guitar breakdown in the middle.
Como é bom saber que ainda existem pessoas que vivem a nostalgia saudável dos anos 80, 90. Não estou só.
...e chorando qdo me lembro daquela época...
Eu gosto Muito dessas épocas.
Não vivi essa época mas amo tudo deles.ouvindo essa música é como se o pai estivesse ao meu lado!😭😭
@@josilva8256 meus sentimentos pelo seu pai!😞
Sempre é bom voltar ao passado
Every lonely teenager should see this. The lonely teenager is not completely alone.
Love the disco-influenced octaves on the bass!!
